[Software] gnome-control-center timeout

I am running Debian 12 on a MacPro 5,1 and after installing and merrily beginning to set it up to use for a daily driver, I was confronted with a problem that I am not sure how to approach. When I clicked on the settings in Gnome, it would hang and have to be killed because it would never go to the setting I clicked on. Then, it stopped opening altogether. When launching it in a terminal window, I get the message
Failed to register: timeout was reached
I have not been able to uninstall and reinstall (because that would somehow help I guess) but there is no way to do so without uninstalling gnome, which I am not trying to do.

There are some posts from five years ago out there in the wild, but I thought this seemed like an odd thing. Anybody dealing or dealt with this?

Can you switch to virtual consoles [Ctrl] [Alt (not Gr)] [F1] etc?
If you can, what is in journal of systemd in times of errors (sudo journalctl -b -p 3)?
(With sudo journalctl -b -p 4 you can see also warnings.)

So, a reboot solved the problem. Sorry I didn't return to follow up. I would like to figure out what that happened. But here is the systemd journal of errors first:

Please use code tags for terminal text. Fixed it for you this time.
