When I click on the Desktop Setting icon, the app won’t open and finally logs me out of the system.
Restarting UB didn’t help.
I tried to open the settings window from the terminal (sudo budgie-desktop-settings) and get the following output:
** (process:1754): WARNING **: 08:38:15.029: budgie-desktop-settings.vala:27: Failed to launch settings UI: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.budgie_desktop.Panel was not provided by any .service files
Side note : you shall never use sudo to launch any « graphical » program. Never. This may corrupt permissions on files used by your « graphical » session to run.
sudo → only for programs in command lines, in terminal or console.
Can you clarify this statement? I’m a noobie and I’m trying to figure out why a program installed with root permissions. If you are prompted to enter your password to open a program does this mean in installed incorrectly? I’m the only user of my machine
I installed with synaptic and had to enter my password to install. When i tried to use the program it failed saying I didn’t have permission which led me to find that the program was owned by root. The program in question id fslint
⋅ Programs whose purposes are to modify system files will ask your password to act as root. Things like gparted, users-and-groups, network-manager settings… These are administrative tasks at system level.
⋅ When you install a program, it’s normal you need to provide password, as the installation process will write files into your system, ruled by root user.
⋅ Now fslint. It should not ask your password to be launched. By default it’s launched by [ you as a normal user ] ready to work on your personal folder /home/you
Try to launch it from terminal by typing
fslint-gui
and if there are error messages in terminal please report them here.
Gtk-Message: 15:53:35.866: Failed to load module “canberra-gtk-module”
I saw this same error msg in a different topic as well. i will go back to look at that. The gui launched fine but a search for duplicate files returned 0 results
check first if you have libcanberra installed by giving dpkg -l | grep canberra on a terminal, then install it -if missing - by giving sudo apt install libcanberra-gtk* … it shoud work.
