Mint 20.3 MATE - Cannot find preferences programs like Display

[benone]

Hello!
I've been looking for answers and I believe there might be some on the forums already, maybe I do not search well.

I recently installed Linux Mint 20.3 - Mate in 64-bit on a new machine. I use already this system on 2 other machines.

I lost some basic programs in the 'Preferences' Start Menu like :
- Display - to change screen resolution, etc.
- Appearance - to change desktop background image for example.

Can I just reinstall a package?
I tried installing 'gnome-system-tools' but it seemed already up-to-date: (3.0.0-9ubuntu1)

Have a good day or evening and thanks a lot for your time.

Will it launch from terminal?

Code: Select all

mate-display-properties

If not try terminal command:

Code: Select all

apt reinstall mate-control-center

log out and back in again and check for the missing utilitied.

Hello!
thanks a lot for your reply.

Using this code (mate-display-properties) in the terminal, I noticed that it was not installed (anymore?) .
I tried to reinstall it, using your second code, it was not possible, so I managed to simply reinstall the package with this

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install mate-control-center

Aaaannnd.... it worked!

Thanks a lot for pointing which package to look at.

Topic solved!
