I started using Ubuntu back in 2004.
I have seen allot of changes plus and minus.
I lover gnome shell, and or Unity up until a couple of years ago.
I have been checking many other OS. Including testing betas.
I wanted to stay with the Debian development side with Ubuntu.
The only reason I did not use Budgie earlier is because of Nautilus. I have been using Nemo for years, and love all the functionality it offers.
I have always replaced my desktop FM to nemo, but starting on 19.04 and more prominent on 19.10 the Gnome shell has issues with Nemo.
I am very impresses with Budgie.
keep Nemo, I have used plank for a couple of years and never had an issue.
This is my first time using Tilix, Wow, Impressed my new terminal app.
Good flow, great settings,
I came from Mate, and I want to tell everyone here to keep up the Great work Budgie.
As the above page shows, probably the best way to get stuck in with testing is run Ubuntu 20.04 (either download or upgrade from 19.10 with update-manager -d ) as often as possible for usual tasks (bearing in mind that one’s productivity and data may be hampered by bugs on 20.04!) and reporting bugs with ubuntu-bug and ubuntu-bug package-name as you go.
Alternatively, there is always a huge backlog of bugs that need to be triaged (i.e., progressed towards being fixed), head to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad for a guide on getting started with that!
Hello! Friday PM update (Feb 14th, 2020) became a partial upgrade, and I don’t seem to have the new elementary menu. Everything else seems fine, I installed the application menu that comes with plank, so I have some functionality until I figure this out. Just an FYI.
Apparently, I just had to reset the desktop layout in the budgie theme and layout page. Hmm!
How do I help out with icons in inkscape? Tell me more…
After I installed Bleachbit, I lost all other programs listed in the “System Tools”
folder in the menu. Removing Bleachbit brought them back. I tried installing and removing from both the Software library and Command Line.
Also; using Menu Editor I was greeted with “/usr/share/budgie-desktop/applications/display-im6.desktop” & “/usr/share/budgie-desktop/applications/display-im6.q16.desktop” parsing errors.
Thanks - I’ve fixed this and will be uploaded sometime this week
Sorry - I cannot reproduce - I’ve installed bleachbit (sudo apt install bleachbit) - the system tools menu and is still there - logged out and logged in to confirm also.
Everyone - beta 4 of budgie-extras applets were uploaded overnight (update as normal - logout and login).
This release has a mass of fixes in shuffler - notable are animation support when moving windows.
The new applications menu has had some cleanups - so just need confirmation nothing has broken here.
Lots of fixes throughout every applet to ensure /usr/bin executables are used - this ensures the applets don’t inadvertently use an exe that happens to be in your path. So we are just asking to test thoroughly all budgie-extra applets (all the applets listed here in the description https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/budgie-extras)
Once: budgie-panel[1703]: relevancy-backend-zg.vala:113: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.zeitgeist.Engine was not provided by any .service files
budgie-panel.desktop[1703]: no icon
Tried to search for all of them. budgie-panel, if that is the actual origin, is on Solus(?)
Since applets live in the same process as the budgie-panel it could be an applet(s) rather than the panel itself.
To be sure you’ll have to create an empty panel - delete the old one and add the bare minimum of applets to see if you can reproduce the issue(s)
Second one - zeitgeist is an optional install for the new applications menu - so if you don’t care too much about zeitgeist being used to track your application launches, install the zeitgeist package.
For 1 - do upgrade to get the v0.93 version of budgie-extras - that should minimise this happening.
FYI , the mailspring snap is currently broken. I continue to receive mail, but can’t write new mail. I know this is not a Budgie desktop issue and will report if possible.
The .deb@ Github has dependency problems on the development release.
Hello! Saturday Feb 22, another partial upgrade this evening, rather than just an update.
@ 5.4.0-14 at this point.
–> Everything seems to have gone smoother this time, no dropped environments.
Apparently it scooped out and replaced quite a bit, but it seemed pretty seemless. Well done
Everyone - I’m interested in your thoughts about “drawing” - Ubuntu Budgie never has had a painting program simply because most painting programs were either not maintained … or rather too advanced for most users (eg. gimp)
Its a rather elegant looking drawing app - think “MS Paint” … but much better.
Please have a look at v0.4.11 that is now in the focal archive.
it probably needs a little bit more space between title and subtitle.
