Settings crash

[Kartonrealista]

How did you upgrade to 20.04? (Clean install/ Upgrade)

Upgrade from Pop!_OS 19.10 (clean install)

Related Application and/or Package Version:

Settings

Issue/Bug Description:

Running settings causes the system to reboot or crash.

Steps to reproduce (if you know):

Press Super+a and run settings

So I was able to replicate only a single time.

First Time:

• Super+a
• type "settings" and hit Enter
  No issues

Second Time:

• Super+a
• use mouse to select the "Settings" icon
  Cleared my desktop off all windows. They were still marked as open/running with the dots on the dock/panel, but I could not view them. I was able to launch new instances of an application, but all prior windows were inaccessible.

After a log out/in I was unable to reproduce it again.

It's different from the issue I was experiencing, but thank you for your input.

I checked that again installing Pop!_OS and upgrading to beta on the hard drive itself vs in a virtual machine and I couldn't replicate it either. There is no problem opening settings here.

This sounds like a shell crash. The panel that Settings was opening would help identify the cause. If it was Appearance/Backgrounds, this was likely resolved.

I've been unable to reproduce the issue at this point.
