(from #ubuntu-budgie irc, it’s quiet there)  
After installing Wine from Software Centre, I got an error for unmet depencies, after reboot I can’t get to the desktop enviroment ‘Failed to start session’ , first thing google gave me was to ‘sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop’ from ctrl-alt-f1, Now I can login to Ubuntu and Ubuntu on Wayland, but not Budgie. Want my Budgie back ☹ Running Ubuntu Budgie 18.10.

Sounds like something has accidentally been uninstalled

Try

```
sudo apt install --reinstall ubuntu-budgie-desktop budgie-desktop budgie-core gnome-control-center
```

```
sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade

```
