Keyboard and Display application don't open

Post by cjmsousa »

Hi all,

I have no idea why but since a couple of weeks now the Display screen where I can configure the monitors position or the Keyboard screen to configure shortcuts simply don't open.

I go to the Linux Mint start menu, click the icon and simply nothing happens. The screens don't open:

Do you have any Timeshift snapshots of when these apps were working properly? If so, roll back to a snapshot.
