Call Ubuntu settings with command line

What command can I use in the terminal to open the settings options?


Solution 1:

I guess you're talking about "System Settings". Open it with:

gnome-control-center

Ubuntu 14.04 or later:

unity-control-center

Jump directly to a specific panel by passing its name to gnome-control-center:

gnome-control-center display

Ubuntu 14.04 or later:

unity-control-center display

enter image description here

The panel names are:

  • background
  • bluetooth
  • color
  • datetime
  • display
  • info
  • keyboard
  • mouse
  • network
  • online-accounts
  • power
  • printers
  • region
  • screen
  • sound
  • universal-access
  • user-accounts
  • wacom

Xfce:

xfce4-settings-manager
