Cinnamon 14 won't open system settings

[Leskuc]

Hi!

I consider myself a total newbie in the linux world, and have just installed cinnamon 14. Though i like it very much, it won't open any system settings. If I go to menu -> Cinnamon settings it opens and I can set all those things. But if I go to menu -> System settings the loading circle comes up, loads for about 10 seconds, and nothing happens. Same goes for menu -> brightness and lock which is part of system settings, if I am correct. And keyboard layout as well and probably many other settings too.

I tried rebooting, searching google for this, and it seems that only I have a problem with this. Is there any way I can access these system settings via terminal or somehow?

Oh, I'm using Linux mint cinnamon 14, 64bit.

Thank you for your help
