GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 734349
Most settings panels suddenly missing from gnome-control-center

Created attachment 282657 [details] gnome-control-center, started as uid 1000 When I launch it from my default (non-root) user account, the gnome-control-center is missing all settings panels, except "Printers" and "Software & Updates". Launching it with a commandline parameter to open a specific settings panel fails, too: $ gnome-control-center display ** (gnome-control-center.real:10217): WARNING **: Could not find settings panel "display" I can only access the panels that aren't listed by launching gnome-control-center as root. I previously had access to the panels that are now only displayed for root, but I can't pinpoint what caused them to vanish. Is there anything I could do to find and fix whatever caused this?

I should note that I'm using i3 as my window manager, but am running the gnome-settings-daemon to handle keyboard shortcuts and the display configuration.
Are you really using gnome-control-center 3.6.x? We don't support that any more. If you're using something newer, which version? From the looks of it, you're running a modified version of gnome-control-center anyway (there's no "Software & Updates" panel in GNOME upstream), so you should check with your distribution what the problem is first.
I'm using Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 with version 3.6.3 of the control-center: $ gnome-control-center --version gnome-control-center 3.6.3 $ apt-cache policy gnome-control-center gnome-control-center: Installed: 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu56.1 Candidate: 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu56.1 Version table: *** 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu56.1 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu56 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages When I first checked their bugtracker on launchpad.net, I only found a link to bugzilla.gnome.org, but apparently I just wasn't looking at the right place. I'll head over to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center.
Thanks, let us know how it goes.
