[Bug 1721637] Re: can't open system settings(Ubuntu 17.10), icon is visible but settings don't display
Not sure if this helps.. Same thing happened on 20.04 LTS after moving dock to bottom.. Moved my cursor way over past the right edge of my display to where I thought would be the title bar of the settings window in the imaginary second screen, dragged it back into main screen. Took me a couple click and drags to find it. Now you can go into display settings and click "Single Display" under Display Mode, then click "Built-in Display" and hit apply. Now you can reposition dock anywhere without disappearing menu and cursor wont escape the boundary. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1721637 Title: can't open system settings(Ubuntu 17.10), icon is visible but settings don't display To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1721637/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks for the details, so yeah it seems the issue you are having is that "ghost" screen which is either an hardware or a kernel/driver issue but not a settings one. That's an issue but if that's what the bug is about then it should be closed as invalud from the setting side Now it could be that the dock at the bottom impact things by making the settings send to another screen which has more available space -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1721637 Title: can't open system settings(Ubuntu 17.10), icon is visible but settings don't display To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1721637/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1721637] Re: can't open system settings(Ubuntu 17.10), icon is visible but settings don't display
@Sebastian I provide more detail and info below Originally with the Dock at the bottom I could not get access to settings. I clicked settings and the cog appeared on the dock with an orange dot - but no window appeared - so no access to settings. After getting the Dock back to the left side using the procedure that I highlighted in #27 above, I have done a lot more checking. Selecting displays in settings I find I supposedly have two displays, the one that is my laptop and an unknown display which does not actually exist i.e. 1 and 2 respectively (in that order). I plugged a standalone monitor into the port on the laptop and I then supposedly had three displays 1 3 and 2 in that order with display 2 showing unknown and not existing in reality. using xrandr it shows as follows (for two real displays and one non existing) (blurb removed for clarity) LVDS-1 connected primary VGA-1 connected HDMI-1 disconnected DP-1 disconnected VGA-1-2 connected In #27 and to get access to settings I used the link in 27# above and therefore VGA-1-2 was inserted in the command to remove the (at that time unknown to me a non existing) display (since then I have rebooted and it has reappeared but the Dock will remain at the side so I keep clear of the problem (I do not know enough to permanently remove VGA-1-2). For all I know this may be a problem specifically for my ASUS K53S laptop alone but my post pointed to a solution which all those above were seeking - so I thought I would help. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1721637 Title: can't open system settings(Ubuntu 17.10), icon is visible but settings don't display To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1721637/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@David, your comment is not clear. You didn't have that second screen before moving the dock? When that happens, can you move the dock back to the left and then open settings? If so what config is displayed in the displays section? ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Assignee: roman dovhan (dovhanrg) => (unassigned) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1721637 Title: can't open system settings(Ubuntu 17.10), icon is visible but settings don't display To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1721637/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Maybe it's an old problem but I did a fresh install of 18.04.1 yesterday and today I moved the Dock to the bottom and could not get access to Settings any more. None of the above helped me at all but the solution is here https://askubuntu.com/questions/366813/disable-second-non-existent- screen-from-command-line. At this link the top command did nothing - but starting from First run: those two commands did the trick, in my case for the second command I had to type "VGA-1-2" instead of VGA2. Have yet to reboot so I will find out if I have to add it to the "run on start" Cannot believe this bug has not been fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1721637 Title: can't open system settings(Ubuntu 17.10), icon is visible but settings don't display To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1721637/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

What vertical space do you have?

(@Cleber Cassol) This is an year old issue but I had the same problem yesterday. So I did what you said, I used the dconf editor and set the dock to left and the the system settings started working again. I also had the problem where my mouse was disappearing to the right. I opened 'Settings>Devices>Displays' where I saw that the Display Mode was set to 'Join Displays' by default. I changed it 'Single Display' and now the mouse works properly. I am using ubuntu on a lenovo G580 laptop and my BIOS is inaccessible. It seems ubuntu and lenovo don't work well there have been many similar issue.

I started settings after installation and it worked. But when I clicked on Users tab, it freezed. So I clicked wait twice and then force close. Then I reinstalled and settings didn't work anymore. I reinstalled gnome, disabled tweak extensions, removed .config and .cache and .local from home dir. After that gnome settings started to work again.
