Bug Description

Hello,
I am informing that when I try to enter the Privacy settings of gnome-control-center, the program hangs and then crash.

After that, gnome-control-center no longer runs. When I try to run it from the command line, it returns the following:

"
etm@etm:~$ gnome-control-center

(gnome-control-center: 14329): Gtk-WARNING **: 15: 12: 03.025: Theme parsing error: gtk.css: 2281: 23: Expected a valid selector

Trace/breakpoint trap (recorded core image)
etm@etm:~$
"

To make it work again, delete the user's dconf folder:

etm@etm:~$ rm -R ~/.config/dconf/

Thank you for your bug report. As you pointed it out in your description though, it's a local configuration/installation issue, not an Ubuntu one (you seem to have installed a local gsettings-desktop-schemas missing a gsettings key which is taking precedence over the system version)

Changed in gnome-control-center (Ubuntu):
importance: Undecided → Low
status: New → Invalid

The case has been settled.
I apologize for wasting your time with a vacillation on my part. I
inadvertently upgraded this package to a 3.32.n version available in an
unstable Debian repository.
I will try to be a tester more consistent with ubuntu.

Thank you!
