Whenever I try to install anything from Budgie welcome, it always fails. At first, I thought that it was because I had the installed the Budgie desktop on what was Ubuntu Mate, so I installed Ubuntu Budgie 18.04.4, since performing a clean installation isn’t a big deal for me on this computer. After installing Ubuntu and downloading updates, it still wouldn’t work.

Thx
Run
budgie-welcome
Then install something. Anything interesting in the terminal that appears?
I get this when installing the Ant theme:
grep: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntubudgie-ubuntu-backports-bionic.list: No such file or directory
Gtk-Message: 09:58:05.626: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.

I also get a pop-up that tells me I need the ppa:ubuntubudgie/backports repository, but it fails when I click ok. I have also tried installing the ppa itself using the option under recommendations, but it fails with the same terminal output.
So, the line
got me curious, so I tried running the program as superuser, and it worked. I think budgie welcome is trying to install apps under my account, which obviously doesn’t have the privileges required.
What type of user account have you got?
I presume you mean that you can’t use sudo with your account?
I’m using the default account that I made during installation, and I can use sudo. The only way I could install anything was by running the command “sudo budgie-welcome”
what is the version of welcome you are using ?
budgie-welcome --version
if it isnt v0.12.1 please run
snap refresh

budgie-welcome is already 0.12.1
Not really sure what is going on. I’ve done a fresh 18.04 install and refreshed to v0.12.1 of budgie-welcome.
Stuff can be installed as normal.
Weird
What is the output of this command?
iduid=1000(why) gid=1000(why) groups=1000(why),4(adm),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),46(plugdev),119(lpadmin),128(sambashare)
hmm
sorry - I’m stumped
You should have a look at
[1⋅ Ubuntu Budgie 20.04 Testing Week |2⋅ Ubuntu Budgie 20.04 Testing Week ]
as using sudo for running a graphical app’ may have damaged some permissions in your personal folder.
You you post outputs from commands, use « preformatted text » for easier readability :
Thank you!!
After use “snap refresh”, I could to install through budgie-welcome
