Public bug reported:
On my fresh install of Ubuntu 18 (minimal install last night) the
control center will not open; it shows a loading notification on the top
panel briefly, then does nothing. I have attempted to restore
functionality by re-installing to no avail. The system does not
recognise control center's failure to open as a bug to report.
This is the second install I've produced this bug on, the first being a
fresh install on an HP xw8400 workstation, "solved" finally by switching
to MATE. As I recall I was able to finagle it to appear once or twice
then, but ultimately with no success - I've seen a few threads with
similar problems, so something's gotta give cause this is totally
ridiculous for an LTS release.
