i could not update from op settings so i did an apt upgrade now op-settings no longer starts.
starting from terminal  shows

Code:

pi@dink:/$ openplotter-settings
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/usr/bin/openplotter-settings", line 11, in <module>
   load_entry_point('openplotterSettings==2.0', 'console_scripts', 'openplotter-settings')()

It seems that there is a problem with xfce environments. I have found this:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepor...365;msg=15

or this:

Are you on SSH?

sudo apt-get -y install policykit-1-gnome

/usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 &
