Hello.
I’m new on budgie, it’s been 3 weeks since I installed it and it’s really good, congratulations.
However I have a problem with the hot corners. I installed the applet well. But none of the corners I set up are working.
Thank you in advance.
The title suggests you’re on UB 20.04, right? A few things:
- What command or task are you making hotcorners run?
- Are you setting up from Budgie Settings or from a panel icon?
- What happens if you open a terminal and run:
budgie-panel --replace&(keep terminal window open, see what it spits out), then add the hotcorners applet and use corners?
Yes indeed I am of course ubuntu budgie 20.04.
- I tried to launch different commands proposed “show desktop”, “All window in Grid” etc…
- I don’t see where in Budgie Settings you can set the hots corners I used an applet in the menu bar.
result of the requested command while I set a hotspot in the applet:

Ah indeed. Please can you take a screenshot of the panel applet popup.
Just a hunch: do you by any chance use fractional scaling?
Scaling in hotcorners is of type int, so that would explain having issues.
Hmm… I dont see any obvious reason why things aren’t working.
When you are moving your cursor into a corner are you doing this fairly fast or really slowly?
I tried slowly and quickly but without any result.
And to double check, in Previews Control and Shuffler Control, you have those activated options ticked?
Without those ticked those hotcorner options will not work.
I’m having the same problem though mine seem to work rarely, not never.
I have some new info to bring to this post. Indeed today in a concern to save the battery of my laptop, in nvidia-settings I selected “power saving” mode which disables the graphics card of nvidia for the one of intel. Well there, the hot corners work. But I still don’t have the correct display in the applet.
That’s a very interesting observation about nvidia.
What do you mean by the ‘correct display’?
I still dont understand. That is the correct display for 20.04.
Only in 20.10 or if you are using our daily extras ppa will you see lots of configuration options in budgie desktop settings
Sorry, I didn’t understand that the screenshot you shared on November 20th in this topic didn’t match the version of the OS I’m using.
I switched from Intel Graphics to Nvidia - things are still working here on 20.04.
Just to check - if you move the pressure value from 50 to zero then does things work for you?
i.e. with 50 pressure value you need to move your mouse fairly fast to activate the hotcorner. With zero pressure the hotcorner should just activate instantly.
