Wifi is working but I can't open “Wifi Settings”
I have my WiFi connections and VPN working without any problem. But I can't open "Wi-Fi Settings" or "VPN Settings" from the drop-down menu in the right corner of the panel.
.
Whenever I click the menu option nothing happens.
My Ubuntu is 18.04.1 LTS.
I searched this problem here and Google but I couldn't find anything due to the large amount of "Wi-Fi is not working" posts.
Also I wasn't been able to reach the same app through the command line or the Activities however I'm not sure if I get the name right (I searched Network, Wi-Fi, Settings among other phrases).
Thank you
18.04 gnome system-settings

Do you mean network and wifi settings are missing from settings? What do you get if you rungnome-control-center wifi? Have you tried reinstalling gnome-control-center usingsudo apt install --reinstall gnome-control-center?

@MrShunz In this case, there was no answer written to be accepted - the OP has written what worked as suggested in comments, and attributed the positive result to kulfy. Perhaps it could have been worded better...
