Budgie Control Center Errors

I just got a System76 Adder WS with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS installed. Since I run Budgie on my desktop pc, I wanted it on the new laptop as well. I initially tried just installing the Budgie desktop via command line, but ran in to several conflicts. Decided to just wipe the drive and install from the Budgie ISO. Install went fine without problems, with this exception: The Budgie Control Center is installed, but doesn’t show up in the app menu. I can access it via command line, but I see errors in terminal when I execute “budgie-control-center”. Specifically:

If this is a vanilla install i.e. you havent done anything since the install including installing or installing packages, likely its an incompatibility with the laptop. Possibly graphics related, maybe even the kernel.

If you boot into a live session confirm that you still have the issue.

If you do, try again booting into a live session of 24.10 and testing again.

Looking at the system76 ppa there is a hugr number of packages that they are using over the top of vanilla 24.04

Difficult to tell of any of them specifically will resolve your issue.

Thanks for the info. Yes, I knew System76 had a lot of custom packages, which is why I wanted to get rid of them and do a clean install from the Budgie ISO. I was having multiple little issues that were constantly consuming my time, hence my desire to get rid of the System76 Ubuntu.
Sounds like you may think I need some of them if it is a hardware issue. I’ll send them a note and see what they think.
