After in-place upgrade to Qubes 4.2 on a NH5x_NHxHP notebook Qubes Global Config (Qubes Tools > Qubes Global Config) is unusable, when clicking on it there is a short (less than half a second?) flash of loading “system settings” and it crashes.
Is there a commandline to start Qubes Global Config?
So I maybe can see what the problem is here. On a desktop after clean install it works normally.
The command is just qubes-global-config.
When Qubes 4.2 becomes the stable release I’ll perform a clean install end restore everything exept dom0 from backup.
$ qubes-global-config

Three backticks
```on their own line before and after any code block (or terminal output) are your best friends @pjmbraet!
They trigger some automatic formatting to make such blocks much more readable, and make it easier to see where the code starts and the commentary ends or vice-versa.
