I've installed Ubuntu on my PC, but unfortunately when I click on "Settings" or type "sudo gnome-control-center" on the Terminal, a red dot appears on the left side of the settings icon, but it doesn't open. What can I do?

Does this answer your question? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1237965/reporting-i-cant-open-settings-in-ubuntu-20-04-lts/1238021#1238021 – Ollie Jun 23 '20 at 16:32

1. In the terminal, run the command:
sudo journalctl -f
Then launch the app from Activities. Wait a minute without doing anything else, then close the app, and Ctrl+C to stop the journalctl
.
2. If that doesn't work, you might need to reinstall gnome-control-center
. Do so with:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-control-center
And then run it from the terminal, sudo gnome-control-center
, or launch it from Activities.
