[Bug 1754872] Re: gnome-control-center is unusable on xubuntu-desktop, but called from Gear (About this Computer, System Settings) icon, Text Entry Settings, clock (Time & Date Settings)

 

Dear Sean!

It seems you do not understand bug description.
I install `xubuntu-desktop` task-package from mini.iso on 18.04 LTS with `sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop`.

What is the difference with "a base install of Xubuntu"? What is wrong is this method?
Users should be able to install desktop task as they want. Clean installation is not an option for some (or most do not really sure) users.

I attach the list of installed packages. I do not have other desktops
installed.

You should check this again. It may be dependency problem or something
similar.
