Unable to open gnome-control-center in Ubuntu 18.04

Question

When I attempt to open settings, nothing happens.

In terminal I use the command

gnome-control-center

And I get the error

gnome-control-center: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37: undefined symbol: gst_gl_display_egl_new_with_egl_display

How can I solve this?

Solution

sudo apt purge gnome-control-center
sudo apt clean
sudo apt install gnome-control-center

This worked, gnome-control-center dependencies to messed up while purging Nvidia drivers from the system
