System Settings

[aakshayy]

Hello.. This is my first post on ubuntu forums. I recently installed ubuntu on my Dell InspironN5010 laptop. After successfully installing it i was told to update and upgrade using the apt-get commands. Because of an unstable internet connection i think some parts of packages were not successfully installed. When i tried re-running the command, it showed


sudo apt-get upgrade

Also i installed another distro gnome 3. And now when i click on the System settings application it does not open neither does it give any error.
What is wrong? Plz help.. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi aakshayy, welcome to the forums :)

Did you do a successful sudo apt-get update first?
