Descrición

While using "System Settings", in the main menu, in an attempt to make Desktop changes, something I did - perhaps while checking out "Bryan's (my) onboard Preferences.onboard", and/or another file, identified in an attached edited screenshot - resulted in shutting me out of System Settings. Now all I get after clicking "System Settings" is the error msg indicated in another attached screenshot. If anyone can tell me how to regain access to Sys Settings, please do.

Sorry! This wasn't a bug in Trisquel, rather it was in the insomniated brain of this user. I was (miss)using various System Settings to try to adjust or switch off the Grid/Snap-To settings for the Desktop. Accidentally adjusted Grid for the Onscreen Keyboard, then accidentally saved that accident in some option regarding Trisquel's "Main Menu", which re-directed the "System Settings" option to a totally irrelevant file.

Learned some things that may help someone who accidentally makes the "System Settings" unavailable thru the Main Menu:
1. if the "Sound Settings" icon is on your taskbar, click "Sound Settings", then
2. in the upper left corner of the dialogue box that opens there is a button for "All Settings"
3. Clicking it takes you to the same dialogue box you could previously access thru Main Menu's "System Settings"
4. From there you can probably figure out how to undo your mistakes that caused the problem.

If it would be of use to anyone, and someone requests it, I can make a single montage of screenshots with notes added to show how I got into, and out of, the above mess.
