Is it on the budgie team plans to add something like the gnome has “launch with dedicated graphics” ? Thanks for the command btw.
yep - certainly have plans … just a question of finding the time!
Now available in v0.14.0 budgie-welcome is the WhiteSur make-over which includes the whitesur gtk theme/whitesur icons and roboto fonts.

Canonical devs have removed the patch to GNOME Settings - Sharing to enable/disable the vino vnc server. This means there is no GUI to enable desktop sharing out-of-the-box. the vino-server (via the vino package) has thus been removed. Vino is still available in the repo as well as other vnc-servers.
21.04 wallpapers are now available. These are team wallpapers - so an eclectic bunch.
the groovy package budgie-wallpapers-groovy can be uninstalled safely if you aren’t using any of those wallpapers.
PSA - there is an update issue with the package pocillo-icon-theme - the package does not install leaving the update mechanism in a bit of a state.
Not sure what happened - it could be as a result of a missing file that wasn’t picked up during local building and testing. Or it could be as a result of on-going launchpad build problems where permissions of packages/files are wrong.
Just stopped by to report that problem.
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/pocillo-icon-theme_0.13.5_all.deb: unable to open '/usr/share/icons/TelaBudgie-dark/symbolic/actions/action-unavailable-symbolic.svg.dpkg-new': No such file or directory
ok - it must be the previous version of the package that is at issue.
sudo apt purge pocillo-icon-theme
sudo apt update
sudo apt install pocillo-icon-theme
That should fix matters.
there was an error during the purge , but it worked.
dpkg: warning: while removing pocillo-icon-theme, directory '/usr/share/icons/Pocillo' not empty so not removed
yeah. No need to worry.
I note Canonical are doing a rebuild anyway of pocillo-icon-theme and other packages due to permissions issues (the launchpad issues I referred to) - so lets see what happens when that rebuild migrates to the release pocket.
Just happened to notice that I can’t select desktop icons to move or open?? Plank icons are ok.
Running in Virtualbox.
What’s the output of gsettings get com.solus-project.budgie-wm desktop-type-override ?
It should say nemo. Is nemo installed? Is nemo-desktop (the process) running?
By default “Align to grid” is the default - right click the desktop - choose Customise and then deselect “Auto arrange” as per the screenshot to allow you to move icons around the desktop
The nemo-desktop process is running,
Right click on the desktop only has two options
Did you install budgie-desktop-view (the package) ? It shouldn’t be installed by default on UB.
it says you have manually installed it. Basically budgie-desktop-view and nemo are clashing - desktop icons is being provided by budgie-desktop-view which is the new upstream version of desktop icons. You can’t move icons around with that.
This is a very early version of 21.04 installed in early November. I will download the latest build and try again.

Budgie desktop settings is crashing to login screen. I can use the entire panel except the budgie-menu-applet. All, but the customized or snap icons are blank in plank and nemo. System settings and the dconf-editor work fine. Fixed with dconf-editor ! Caused by 3rd party icon theme.
3rd party icon theme? Which one?
OK, that fixed it. Sorry about that, I normally reinstall along the way but got lazy.
