Segmentation fault when I try to launch unity-control-center

Question

When I enter the command unity-control-center it returns:

unity-control-center
libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Answer 1

The error is possibly due to nvidia graphic card. To mitigate the error I used the following command: prime-select intel.

Try opening the unity-control-center now. My unity-control-center was working fine under nvidia graphic drivers but stopped when I changed the xorg.conf by switching to intel graphic drivers for screen. It might be the possible cause of introduction of this error.

Answer 2

What helped me in the same problem just after a fresh installation without the internet (so no updates) was:

1. Update everything (sudo apt update; sudo apt upgrade)
2. Update the graphics drivers (sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall)
3. Reinstall the app with sudo apt-get install --reinstall unity-control-center

Answer 3

use "sudo unity-control-center" and enter your password

But why you do that through terminal?

Hope it helps
