    Missing System Settings

    I am missing a number System Settings - see attached. I guess there is a terminal command to re-set System Settings so I have all the default icons. Appreciate any help.

    well, it's part of a package either
    gnome-control-center = Should be for precise -ish
    gnome-control-center-unity = Middle release aka raring/saucy
    unity-control-center = Should be for trusty -ish

    Depending on which Ubuntu version you have installed.
    Maybe try a reinstall.

    Try this command:

    sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

    It should work fine

    Installing ubuntu-desktop metapackage won't help fix gnome-flashback.
    However the package should be gnome-control-center for gnome-ishnesses, instead of unity-control-center.
    I'm not sure but in the older version it has/had a separate package called gnome-control-center-data.

    Perhaps try re-installing both of those.

    sudo apt-get install gnome-control-center and sudo apt-get install gnome-control-center-data had no effect. I logged out of flashback and into unity (icons still missing). I tried sudo apt-get install unity-control-center and they all came back. Logged out and back into flashback and they are all still there. Many thanks.

    Install unity-control-center is correct reply for 14.04 64-bit. I ran into problem when I needed to remove an "experimental" copy of evolution and return to evolution 3.10.4. You cannot do this w/o takingout some parts of unity desktop. Do not know why programs cannot be removed w/o taking out critical parts of the OS.
