Hallo, I already use Ubuntu Budgie a view years. I like the layout.
I am just setting up a new Ubuntu Budgie 22.04. with lots of installs and removes and Desktop-changes.
After all this I noticed by coincidence that:
Budgie Welcome, Extras, Makeovers & Layouts are displaying a blank page. I’ve changed imidiately the Systemlanguage to enUS.
I removed with Synaptic “Budgie Welcome” and installed the snap package budgie-welcome.
“budgie-desktop-settings” works fine
“budgie-control-center” works fine
budgie-welcome -d

This must have happen by removing all the removable games!
I’ve done “sudo apt install python”
sudo apt install python
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree… Done
Reading state information… Done
Package python is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
2to3 python2-minimal:i386 python2:i386 python2-minimal python2 dh-python
python-is-python3
I’ve created a new user, logged in with that user, and budgie welcome works perfect!
I’ll delete my old user and repeat with a new one! Thanks so much, meanwhile!
Hi there! Hurray! The BUG is back! After creating a new user, I had one bug-free day! Last changes: I’ve scaled the font. I reversed this change. Restarted. The bug is still there.
Right … you are going to have to do some detective work.
Try renaming the .config folder and the .local folders
Logout and login. See if welcome works.
Assuming that it does, move some folder from .config/.local into the newly created folders. Logout and login. Test welcome. Rinse and repeat until you find what folder is the guilty culprit.
It took some time to locate the problem. The “culprit-file” which causes the break of budgie-welcome in my home-directory is:
~/.local/share/mime/mime.cache
That doesn’t mean, I would have any idea of what its deletion will provoke.
Thanks so much for your help, it was a thrill to me, and a training-lesson to my rusty English. I enjoyed it so much.
From this issue on an unrelated app … but it uses webkit2gtk just like welcome to display stuff they found that deleting the cache file also resolved their issue
So it is a bug in this webkit2gtk version used in ubuntu.
