GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_settings_get_value: assertion 'G_IS_SETTINGS (settings)' failed

[Angel Guzman Maeso]

With display I get a lot warnings and criticals via command line, then I cannot put horizontal my two screens, only vertical. It shows a popup window about virtual size required related only to first screen:

 GDBus.Error:org.gtk.GDBus.UnmappedGError.Quark._gnome_2drr_2derror_2dquark.Code3: el tamaño virtual requerido no se ajusta al espacio disponible: requerido=(3286, 1080), mínimo=(320, 200), máximo=(1920, 1920):

As I comment in Bugzilla:

Testing latest Ubuntu 16.04 (development branch):

$ gnome-control-center --version
unity-control-center 14.04.3

I cannot reproduce the bug and no warnings appears, so probably it is fixed at some point.

The weird thing now, it is that the tool reports as unity controll center instead gnome control center and the version looks 14.04 instead 16.04, but thats probably a Ubuntu thing in downstream

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Closing as fixed if you don't get those anymore, in Ubuntu gnome-control-center is a shell script starting either unity-control-center when unser Unity or gnome-control-center.real (which is the upstream gnome-control-center) under GNOME
