That's probably bug #1814949, opening another panel, e.G by using
$ gnome-control-center display
could workaround the issue

Could you also get a backtrace using gdb (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace)

[Silvio Bierman (sbierman)]

I get the same error. Opening from the menu does nothing, using

$ gnome-control-center

or even

$ gnome-control-center display

as suggested above results in segmentation fault (core dumped).

This is on a Dell XPS13 laptop running Disco Dingo dev branch.

I had the same issue. Following reset command solved the problem:-

dconf reset -f /org/gnome/control-center/

Hope it helps someone looking for the solution.
