Upgraded to 15.04, no system settings?

[pingaan]

Hi,

I recently upgraded to 15.04 and I don't know if this is a new feature or what but my system settings looks like a bad mobile phone crossover.
When trying to reach any other settings, such as sound settings or about this computer from the dropdown menus up in the right corner, nothing happens. It's as if the GUI isn't installed.

I'll link a video to show you what I mean.

I don't know how you got there, it looks like unity 8 on some Youtube demos I saw. Mine is same as 14.04.

If we install Unity 8 or unity8-desktop-session-mir we get some utilities that are from the Ubuntu phone because the Ubuntu phone is Unity 8 running on Mir. These utilities include the System Settings from the Ubuntu phone. So, we will then have two different kinds of System Settings. As well as other utilities from the phone OS.

It seems that in your case and for some reason the traditional Ubuntu System Settings has been removed. You may be able to solve this by installing unity-control-centre.

I do not think that the upgrade to 15.04 has caused this at all. And installing unity8-desktop-session-mir will not remove unity-control-center either. How things got to be this way I cannot even guess.

Regards.

Tried installing unity-control-center and got:

Tried installing libcheese-gtk23 via Ubuntu Software Center but it ended wih a crash... :(

Well what exactly did you do to get 15.04?

I used Upgrade Manager.

[dino99]

purge all the unity 8 packages if they are installed

II have unity8, unity8-common and unity8-private isntalled but none of them can be uninstalled due to similar errors to the one above; libcheese*.
