Description Aroun 2023-06-08 15:34:44 UTC
SUMMARY
This bug does not happen usually, but when it starts happening, it happens consistently until I reboot the system.
systemsettings does not open and exits with code 0.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Something that I could not identify might lead to this situation.
Right now I changed the color scheme in appearance settings and then it started
1. `systemsettings`: nothing happens
2. `echo $?` gives 0

OBSERVED RESULT
systemsettings does not open

EXPECTED RESULT
systemsettings opens

When this happens, if you run `ps -ef | grep -i systemsettings`, does it show that System Settings was already open (and presumably hung in the background)?

Ok that might be the case. It seems the situation didn't come again for now. I will check if it is hanging in the background when it happens and then I guess killing it is a workaround to be able to open it again.
