Bug Description

When i try to open the settings, i see the loading cursor but noting opens, in the system monitor gnome control center appears briefly but quickly disappears. When i try to run it in the terminal using `gnome-control-center` it returns "Segmentation fault (core dumped)", same with `gnome-control-center display` or `gnome-control-center --version` which is why i could only specify the gnome-shell version.

I have tried:
`sudo apt update; sudo apt dist-upgrade`,
`sudo apt install --reinstall gnome-control-center`,
`gsettings reset-recursively org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings` and system restart (this worked temporarily like 3 times but is no longer effective),
`gsettings reset org.gnome.ControlCenter last-panel`
`dconf reset -f /org/gnome/control-center/`

When i run `sudo gnome-control-center` i can briefly see the settings window and get this warning after it crashes almost immediately:
(gnome-control-center:8869): dconf-WARNING **: 09:19:37.256: failed to commit changes to dconf: Failed to execute child process “dbus-launch” (No such file or directory)

Thank you for your bug report. What's the output of

$ dpkg -l dbus-x11

could you also include a 'journalctl -b 0' log from the system?

could you try to reinstall dbus-x11 or ubuntu-desktop and see if that resolves the issue?

also from the journal you have a shell extension for rounded windows corner which is buggy but that's probably another problem

I tried reinstalling both and rebooting but no luck, also, sometimes the settings just work, but when i close the window and try opening it again, it doesn't open anymore. I have no idea what causes this.

I still tried disabling the rounded window corners even though you said it was probably another problem, and yeah it didn't work.
