@fossfreedom , I added the testing repo and installed 10.5, no problems. This morning I rebooted and when I get to the log in screen, I enter my credentials and it does something in the background (screen looks like it tries to render the desktop, and then it goes back to the log in screen. I can’t log back in now, any ideas what I can do to get logged in and back to the desktop?

Sounds like a package or two has been removed accidently
CTRL+ALT+F2 to switch to a TTY and login
type:
sudo apt install --reinstall budgie-desktop budgie-core libbudgietheme0 libraven0 libbudgie-plugin0
reboot --

When I execute the apt command, I get:
E: You don't have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives
Not sure what to do next.
ah - that explains it - you have unfortunately run out of disk space
You’ll need to uninstall some stuff before running the above.
If you have snaps installed - suggest uninstall them
snap list
snap remove snapname
Worth running:
sudo apt autoremove
Have a close look before accepting (Pressing Y) that there are no critical packages being uninstalled like python, gnome stuff, budgie stuff
Sometimes you may have been collecting linux kernels - they should be purged - but sometimes they just collect.
Check what kernel you are running:
uname -a
sudo apt purge linux-image-number-generic
sudo apt purge linux-headers-number-generic
Where number is less than the value returned by uname -a
e.g. dad@dad-VirtualBox:~/Downloads/assets/Banners/19.04$ uname -a
Linux dad-VirtualBox 4.18.0-16-generic #17~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 12 13:35:51 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
dad@dad-VirtualBox:~/Downloads/assets/Banners/19.04$ sudo apt purge linux-image-4.18.0-1
linux-image-4.18.0-14-generic linux-image-4.18.0-16-generic
dad@dad-VirtualBox:~/Downloads/assets/Banners/19.04$ sudo apt purge linux-image-4.18.0-14-generic linux-image-4.18.0-14-generic
(Press tab at the point linux-image-
to autocomplete/list packages that match)
Finally run:
sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade
To check that all packages are correctly installed and that you weren’t in the middle of install stuff before running out of disk space.

Thanks for the help @fossfreedom , I was able to uninstall a couple snaps and was able to log in.
I haven’t run into any issues as of yet, but I do miss the Budgie Desktop settings icon in the raven menu
It’s the power strip which you can re-add via budgie-desktop-settings - raven
