So need to confirm the list of applets - are they correct? Have we missed any?
Hi,
I’ve installed budgie-showtime-applet (dpkg -l | grep budgie-showtime-applet says 2.0.0-0ubuntu1, transitional package) but it doesn’t appear in installable applets list; logging out and in is useless. OK Clock, FuzzyClock, keyboard-Layout, WeatherShow, Brightness-controller that I usually install on my system.
About desktop icons, I’ve noticed some changes like contextual menu, but they still seems to be nailed.
About second panel and java apps I can confirm you: they aren’t dockables on panel; besides gpsprune, I’ve tried with Jedit too, without success. I’ll send to BuddiesOfBudgie asap.
Please, notice that (from my own PoV) none of these is fatal; about desktop icons, more, maybe people will learn not to store their data on desktop!
A while back when Raven plugins were introduced in Budgie Desktop 10.7, we created a Vala-based example of a Raven plugin:
It has been updated so it can correctly build under Ubuntu Budgie 26.04 / Budgie Desktop 10.10.
While this will not appeal to most users, should anyone with an idea and a bit of know-how wish to try their hand at creating their own project, it is a good starting point. It is a functional widget, though it serves no purpose other than as a demo. We would love to see new widgets from any creative developers out there, and I don’t mind helping out with any questions anyone has on getting started.
Need help. I have a qt app I’m trying to run that typically runs just fine in KDE wayland. I keep getting the error more specific to xcb… I’ve tried installing qt, however that hasn’t done it.
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin “wayland” in “ ”
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
That worked, but it seems like I need to use the precursor env QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb (./myapp) every time. Is there a more permanent fix?
HAHA installed QT that way too; hopefully it, the app, finds it after a restart (it doesn’t). The app works and is at least syncing, though. Thank you.
All kidding aside, after installing Qt5 and Qt6 and still nothing, I ran sudo apt install kubuntu-desktop alongside Budgie, and it works. Josh is running mostly KDE in his .rpm version that he updates elsewhere, so I said, why not install KDE alongside Budgie? Not the right answer, but a workaround nevertheless.
From upstream issues - all nvidia users. Be aware that reaching for nvidia-settings isn’t appropriate moving into the wayland world. To set monitor positions etc, use wdisplays which is available from the menu.
Back testing again! I’m seeing some flicker and freezing of just about all applications. I’m testing in boxes with plenty of memory and space along with the Ubuntu flagship gnome release. The longer I use Budgie the better it seems to run. I couldn’t get past TTY last week. If I can identify a central cause I’ll report back.
