Hello,

I set up a dual boot of Ubuntu 22.04 with Win 11. My ultimate goal was to install Budgie but a direct install did not work. I read that Budgie was simply a set of repositories on top of Ubuntu.

After installing Budgie, all of the screens are red (Budgie and Ubuntu). I searched how to completely remove Budgie. I followed the instructions and it is still present and my screens are still green.

I have an Nvidia graphics card and an EVGA motherboard.

- Can I fix the fix?

- If not how can I completely uninstall Budgie so I can learn more about it and reinstall later?

- Can/Will reinstalling Unbuntu 22.04 “cleanup” the problem and If so will all lose all the setup set steps. I had to do a lot of work to get my mouseand wifi adapter to work?

Thank you in advance.

Peter

Your issue is probably the same as this where gnome’s colour management isnt recognising your monitor correctly and applying the wrong profile.

Removing the profile should work for your setup

> Ok let me give that a try. That’s it! Really interesting. Deleting the monitor profile in Budgie Control Center → Color fixed the issue. Now, it still lists the “Sony TV Monitor” but lists it as “not calibrated” and after a restart everything was fine. I then re-added the “Default: Sony Monitor” and everything went pink again. So I deleted the profile again, rebooted and back to no Pink. Thanks for your help! It was driving me nuts. I also see that you never saw the pink, yes?..lol. The backg…
