Im having serious problems after installing Ubuntu 13.10. I cannot access my network settings under system settings. Whenever i try to access network settings, the settings app crashes off. This is the output it produces when i run it from the terminal :

kelvine@kelvinelove:~$ sudo gnome-control-center
[sudo] password for kelvine: 

(gnome-control-center:4595): IBUS-WARNING **: The owner of /home/kelvine/.config/ibus/bus is not root!
**
network-cc-panel:ERROR:rfkill-glib.c:83:type_to_string: code should not be reached
kelvine@kelvinelove:~$

How can i resolve this error??

  • Try to re-configure it : `sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-control-center`, if it doesn't help then try to re-install: `sudo apt-get -f install --reinstall gnome-control-center` – Saurav Kumar Oct 20 '13 at 16:37
  • I tried both options just now...it still crashes – kelvinelove Oct 20 '13 at 16:42
  • Give a look at [this bug](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1209092) and the related links.. – Saurav Kumar Oct 20 '13 at 16:48
  • Is there any alternative fir gnome-control-center?? I need to change my proxy settings so badly – kelvinelove Oct 31 '13 at 09:54
  • If setting proxy is your only problem then you can use commands also to set the proxy. [here](http://askubuntu.com/questions/23666/apt-get-does-not-work-with-proxy) is all about to set the proxy. – Saurav Kumar Oct 31 '13 at 10:06
  • I already know how to set up the proxy settings using termianl, thank you. What i was actually looking for is a way to counteract the crashing problem. – kelvinelove Nov 07 '13 at 07:21
  • Please clarify what kernel are you using ? uname -a – Luigi Molinaro Mar 03 '14 at 14:24

You can't start gnome-control-center as root. Start it normally and the error will go away.
