Public bug reported:
Release: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
Package Version: 1:3.28.2-0ubuntu0.18.04.1
Expected Behavior: Program should always launch upon request.
Problematic Behavior: Attempting to launch this program causes the shell to
display the loading indicator for an unusual amount of time, only to never
display the program.
Description: Upon launching this program through a terminal emulator, it
never opens and never displays any output. Passing the verbose (-v)
option with the program has the same result. When I launch it through
the GUI, the shell displays the spinning circle (loading indicator) for
an absurd amount of time. The program still does not open. This is a
fresh install, so I restarted my computer. When launched again, the
program opened and operated normally. However, upon closing the program
and opening it again, it does not open up. Task management tools only
show the process for a brief 3-5 seconds after requesting it to open and
then it disappears. To my knowledge, this bug does not affect any other
programs.
Workaround:
Entering the command
killall gnome-control-center
allows it to open again upon next launches.
