How to re-install system-settings?

Question

I'm on Ubuntu 14.04 I tried to install im-switch, but it uninstalled im-config and language support, making system setting very difficult, my system-setting page becomes this

And I've re-installed Language Support and im-config using apt-get, but other settings does not come back.

How can I turn it into previous setting page?

Reinstalling unity-control-center should fix the problem.

Reinstall it by executing following command in terminal

sudo apt-get remove unity-control-center
sudo apt-get install unity-control-center

On Ubuntu 18.04 (and later?), one should use sudo apt-get install gnome-control-center

System Settings does not open in my Ubuntu system. But when I try to install gnome-control-center, it says, its already the newest version. What to do? – Sandip Nath Sep 05 '20 at 07:04
