System Settings won't load after Ubuntu 14.04 installation

Since I installed Ubuntu 14.04, system setting won't load. I click on it in the dash and my mouse indicates it is thinking, but then stops and never loads the system settings. The same is true with Appearance and Display (I haven't tried all options). Help?


Try to run unity-control-center in a terminal, since gnome-control-center is not the default in Ubuntu 14.04 anymore.


I had to sudo apt-get install unity-control-center for it to work. This was on a fresh install of 14.04.1 LTS, Trusty Tahr


I had the same problem and this helped:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

found it in here.


Ok, I got the solution from both answers, so here you go what I did:

In a new terminal write the following:

user@anypc:~$ sudo apt-get update

user@anypc:~$ sudo apt-get install gnome-control-center

and that was all, gnome settings bring back to normal.

I hope this answer can help somebody with this issue.
