Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:43.0-1
Followup-For: Bug #1019526
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Confirmed in 43.0 from sid. The Colour panel segfaults, and Night Light is
also nonfunctional.
The control panel app is now “sticky”, so if you switch to a panel that
segfaults and then try to start the app again, it will try to start with
the panel you were on before. This makes it segfault again immediately,
preventing access to other control panels.
From a user perspective, to recover from this situation enough to use other
control panels, you can use the command line to start it on a different
panel, e.g. Displays:
$ gnome-control-center display
You can also choose “Display Settings” or “Change Background…” from the
desktop right button/longpress menu. Those do the same thing 😊
The crash can be reproduced from the command line with the following.
The “--verbose” option is not necessary to reproduce, it’s just there to
provide more context. Note the line about the missing NightLightSupported
property, in passing. I don’t know if the broken night light functionality
is related or a separate bug. The warning appears when switching to the
Display panel too, before accessing the Night Light controls card (is that
the right term?)
