So I just installed Ubuntu 17.10 and I noticed that "settings" looks limited.

enter image description here

Also if I go in the terminal and I write gnome-control-center nothing happens, no errors, nothing.

I tried to check if it was installed with sudo apt install unity-control-center (it was). And I also used sudo update-manager, but nothing changed.

Settings app = gnome-control-center (and gnome-control-center != unity-control-center).

Nothing happened after running gnome-control-center because I presume you have Settings already open.

To check this, close Settings first and then run gnome-control-center. It should launch Settings again.

  • Yes, you are right, thanks a lot. I just don't know why my setting are so limited. This is my display window: https://imgur.com/a/cK3L9 This is a display window that i found on the web: https://i.stack.imgur.com/rK9ep.png Can you help me? – Cristian Lo Iacono Dec 08 '17 at 17:15
  • @CristianLoIacono See if this helps with the Wi-Fi adapter issue: https://askubuntu.com/questions/968276/upgrade-to-17-10-wifi-and-bluetooth-adapters-not-found. The display window "found on the web" doesn't look like a 17.10 one. Looks like display settings for an (older) version of Ubuntu with Unity. – pomsky Dec 08 '17 at 17:17
  • Yes, I was trying to change the scaling and I was wondering why the display's window wouldn't let me do it. But that's how Ubuntu 17.10 is made, I found the fix here though: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/09/enable-fractional-scaling-gnome-linux – Cristian Lo Iacono Dec 08 '17 at 17:32
