This worked for ubuntu 20.10. Had to reboot to get setting tab back, but worked like a charm. Thank you.

Ah! I had the same issue in 19.04. I would have figured it out eventually, but thanks for figuring it out for me! Thanks! :)

Big Thanks :) Did also work for 20.04 LTS ;)
I deleted to much for getting rid of snapd and had lost pulseaudio and gnome-control-center

Thanks man. You have saved me a great deal

For an operating system that claims to be user friendly, having to follow a tutorial to access the system settings is ridiculous! Thanks for the tutorial nonetheless.

Thanks, very clear explanation. The install said it worked however the control center Still has no icons. It's an empty box. Why would anyone produce a Ubuntu which doesn't have any control settings anyway? Using Ubuntu 18.04.1
