What is the command to run System Settings from a terminal?

System Settings can be run from the launcher (pinned by default), the Dash, or the power cog. But what command would I enter in a terminal window if I want to run it from there?


Solution 1:

gnome-control-center

Note: for versions between 14.04 and 17.04 (when Unity was used instead of GNOME), the command is unity-control-center.

Solution 2:

if you run gnome-control-center and get command not found, you can install it with:

sudo apt install gnome-control-center

Solution 3:

For Ubuntu Mate the command is mate-control-center.
