Ubuntu Budgie Puns

This has been pretty frustrating over the last day or so I've been on-and-off on the internet trying to find something that would actually solve the issue.

I'm connected via gigabit Ethernet, and it shows connected in settings... my motherboard's integrated ethernet is recognized fine, and in settings it shows a 1000mbps connection. However, whenever I try to use a web browser, it either just loads for eternity or loads a cached version of the site and complains that there's no internet. I dual-boot Windows 10 alongside my Ubuntu install, and Windows 10 seems to work just fine. No internet issues, so I feel it's a reasonable conclusion to assume something is wrong with Ubuntu.

In case you couldn't tell, I am a complete and total Linux noob. Software's not supposed to fail on its own, right? I must have done something. It seemed as if I just booted into Ubuntu one day and the internet just decided it didn't feel like working anymore. Not sure what I'm supposed to do or how to do it, as everybody who has had an internet issue seems not to have exactly the same issue as me, and I would rather not destroy my install with a sudo command that I wasn't supposed to do.

Got this new laptop (like just out of the box new) a couple dys ago as an early holiday gift, and im attempting to set up a dual boot with Windows 10/Ubuntu Budgie 21.10 but im having a hell of a time getting the built in WLAN adapter to work. It works just fine in windows so im assuming its a driver issue, but the additional drivers tool comes up with nothing. Ive been using an external adapter in the mean time to get things set up but its not ideal. This is what I have so far:

• The adapter thats in my laptop is a Realtek Semiconductor 802.11n WLAN Adapter withan id of 0bda:d723
• A full probe of my pc in case that helps with anything.
• This is result from sudo lsusb -v on the relevent bus

Im not sure what driver I need or how to install it. Looking on Realteks site, they all list my model number which i havent been able to find. and most of my googling has threads that are years old for slightly different devices. Any help is appreciated. TIA

*edit: so the adapter works for Bluetooth pairing but not wifi.

My endeavor into Linux started with Ubuntu 5 or so years ago.

I used Ubuntu for the first 2.5 years and halfway through decided to give Kubuntu a try and have been using it ever since.

As my laptop (Dell XPS 13, 2016) is starting to show some age, I've decided to buy an SSD to upgrade and decided I'd start fresh with another flavor. I tried Lubuntu and found it to be too minimal and not all that friendly with my 4K screen.

I've also been spoiled with the look and feel of KDE so didn't feel like I would like Xubuntu either.

Budgie however has been a phenomenal experience. Everything was properly scaled, the trackpad was already configured, and it just looks amazing. Not even Kubuntu worked out of the box the way this does. It makes starting from scratch a treat!

How popular is it amongst the Ubuntu flavors?

With both essentially offering the same outcome, what's the purpose of using both?

Hi,

I've installed Ubuntu Budgie on my ageing 15" 2012 MacBook Pro Retina, and I've figured out most things I wanted to do, but so far have been completely unable to find any way to switch between the NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M graphics and the Intel HD Graphics 4000.

No difference switching between the 390 and 418 drivers that show as available. I don't have any PRIME Profiles option in my Nvidia X Server Settings.

"prime-select query" in Terminal gives the response "on-demand"

It's not the end of the world, but the Mac's running quite warm doing very little and I feel like this is probably the reason.

Am I missing anything, or does the age/configuration of this Mac mean it won't support switching between the integrated and discrete graphics?

Thanks!

I disabled fast startup, tried a bunch of terminal commands, disabled secure boot, and still having this issue. I tried reinstalling ubuntu and it still gives me this message in the wifi settings.
I get this when trying to install bcwml-kernel-source:
the following packages have unmet dependencies:

bcmwl-kernel-source: depends: dkms but it is not installable depends

libc6-dev but it is not installable

e: unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages

Could anyone help me out? thanks

I want to go with something like Ubuntu, or something very similar to it, and looking around I found that Budgie caught my eye

Hi. This post is going to be about my experiences with Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu Mate 20.04 and Ubuntu Budgie. I hope, that maybe this experiences will be interesting for someone else :)

First of all: This is not going to be a "Finally I found the best Linux distro ever"-post. There are many distros out there with all their own strengths. I respect everyone's choice, because everyone is different and has their own reasons for preferring a distro :)

Background: I used my whole life windows only as my main OS, but because of transparency and privacy I wanted to switch to an open source operating system.

So before I installed my first OS, I did some research and asked reddit at the end, which OS would meet my requirements. From today's perspective, I was too worried back then that Ubuntu flavours could be too "overloaded". Meanwhile I tried many ubuntu flavours and today I know that it is mostly just ubuntu, but with a different desktop environment and default applications.

At the end I decided to install and try ubuntu 20.04 as my new main operating system for my daily usage. I thought: If this is one of the most used operating systems, then it should be really good and easy to use- right ..? But ... No. Not for me.

Ubuntu 20.04 experience

I got the first problems of course at the beginning, because I was a complete linux newbie- but I learned really quickly the most important things. But ... it doesn't matter if then or even a few weeks ago- using ubuntu 20.04 was kinda uncomfortable and annoying. Starting with the bad nautilus file explorer because ... for example why tf do I have to leave the whole file manager open, while there is only a copying-task remaining? With nemo or windows file manager there exists an own window just for the copy process, so you can close all the file-manager windows to clean up your desktop. Or the file-browser and desktop behavior- what in the h*ll? it is not really possible to move the files between file-browser and desktop? There were many problems like this. And even applets. Weather, network speed- nothing out of the box. You have always to look up on extensions.gnome.org for some applets. Huh .... :/

Ubuntu isn't bad in my opinion, but there are basic things that don't work right or are uncomfortable. So ... a few weeks ago, I was looking for a better alternative. And I remembered

I just want to say a great big THANK-YOU to the Ubuntu Budgie developers, for making a gorgeous Desktop. I love it, it's working a dream on my old Laptop and to be honest I think it's one of the most beautiful Linux distros out there. Many thanks #LinuxPals

I’ve been working on getting Ubuntu Budgie on my 2020 MacBook Air - mostly just for fun but also with the privacy benefits of alternative OS in mind. I’ve gotten as far as having the iso file written to a flash drive and having a partition ready to install the distro to, whether on an external drive or the internal one, but whenever I get to the step where I restart my MacBook and hold down the option/alt key to display the bootable drives, it displays my “EFI boot” flash drive and seems like it’s gonna let me move on, but after I click the arrow to boot from my flash drive, the standard apple startup screen with the loading bar under the apple appears, followed by a window that says “the version of macOS on the selected disk needs to be reinstalled” and the aforementioned “EFI boot” drive doesn’t show. Any ideas on what I could do to get this installed?

FYI: I’m working from OSX Big Sur I’ve disabled SIP with “csrutil disable” as well as “csrutil authenticated-root disable”

I'm trying to install Ubuntu Budgie on my SSD. I have a laptop with a replaced hard drive (256GB SSD) and then a mechanical HD (650GB) in the drive bay. Ubuntu sees it all, however I'm not sure how to proceed. I've selected my SSD and it'll allow me to continue but I haven't created any partition so I'm fairly certain it'll install over windows.

This is what I'm doing:

-Install alongside Windows 10

-One smaller partition (SSD) is hidden.

-Unhide it

I'd like to make a new partition but unsure what type of partition I should make for Ubuntu. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is there any difference between installing Ubuntu Budgie and installing Ubuntu and then running: "apt install ubuntu-budgie-desktop"?

Do you end up with identical systems? Exactly the same apps, kernel, optimisations etc?

What's actually under the hood of Ubuntu Budgie? Is it literally just the ubuntu-budgie-desktop package?

Hello.

I'm trying to virtualize Linux Ubuntu with bhyve. I've reinstalled Ubuntu Budgie 21.04 using BHYVE_UEFI.fd,the problem that I have is that Ubuntu is not able to connect to internet. This is the script that I'm using :

bhyvectl --vm=vm0 --force-reset
bhyvectl --vm=vm1 --force-reset
setxkbmap it
ifconfig tap0 create
ifconfig bridge0 create
ifconfig bridge0 addm tap0 addm em0 up


bhyve -c 4 -m 8G -w -H \
        -s 0,hostbridge \
        -s 3,ahci-cd,/vms/iso/linux/ubuntu-budgie-21.04-desktop-amd64.iso \

Hey,I started using linux with Lubuntu on my old HP system and it was faster and better in practically every way. Now I have a new system and I can't decide between Kubuntu or Ubuntu Budgie. I no longer want to use Lubuntu. What do you suggest? From what I've seen so far, I want Ubuntu Budgie (Honestly, it has a Windows feature I really like and it looks better than Kubuntu) but I feel like I need Kubuntu (I heard it's customizable and fast). Helpppppppppppppppppppppppppp.

Please note I plan to dual boot with Windows 10.

First time poster. First distro. Absolute noob. Please be gentle.

Just installed Ubuntu Budgie 20.04 on my ASUS Q505UAR laptop. The problem is that my speakers sound AWFUL anytime I play audio. The volume also sticks to either maximum or muted no matter how I try to scale it.

I presume this is a driver issue. ASUS only provides drivers on their site for Windows 10 for my model. I've also tried going to "Additional Drivers" in Ubuntu, but it said "No proprietary drivers are in use." So I then attempted to go to linux-hardware.org to try and find a solution. I couldn't the install/command to work and I can't find my model in their existing database of hardware.

I thought about emailing ASUS to see if I can get some help, but has anyone experienced this before? Is there something else I can do?

Ubuntu budgie 21.04 should be named to Ubuntu buggie 21.04. Why is it soo buggy? And why did they release it anyways? And will other distributions based on this release be equal or better?

I need your help, because I'm not sure which distro would be mostly the best for me.I'm about to switch from Windows to Linux in the future; I tested all of the above mentioned OS's and this are the pro/cons that are important for me

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solus:
+ a solid OS (not based on any other OS); no update-endtime (because always updates); very nice modern looking desktop enviroment (for my taste); good software center; extrem nice side/notification board

- can't handle .deb files; can't easy create shortcuts to files/folders
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ubuntu (main OS)
+ best compatibility for allmost everything I could ever need for linux;

- shop has some propritary code; desktop enviroment really not my taste- almost everything ... ; can't easy create shortcuts to files/folders;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ubuntu Budgie
+ .deb file support; very nice surface

- based on a distro, which also based on a distro = maybe high susceptibility to errors; can't easy create shortcuts to files/folders
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Debian
+ easy creation of shortcuts for files and folders; .deb file support;

- worst desktop design of all in this topic mentioned OS's
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Linux Mint
+ easy creation of shortcuts for files and folders; ok desktop surface; .deb file support

- based on a distro, which also based on a distro = maybe high susceptibility to errors;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some other information that could be important! :

- I'd like to add a networkspeed monitor somewhere on the taskbar
- I prefer to have the most things from the beginning; means- I'd like really to avoid installing add-on's or smth. like that to customize the surface like how I'd like to have it; best if everything comes officially by the distro
- most software you can find mostly support/offer a .deb file for installation ... so debian distros seem to be better...? (for example steam officially offers on their website only .deb install

Hello guys I'm a complete beginner on Ubuntu and i have installed Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on my laptop . I didn't like how it looked and saw that Budgie had a prettier environment so i downloaded a package to make it look like that. After i had done that i saw that there was an ISO of Ubuntu Budgie. Is it the same thing ? Am i losing more ram doing that? Since i saw budgie is more friendly and light for low end pcs. Any advice would be much appreciated.

I installed kde on ubuntu budgie using "sudo apt install kde-full" now I want to delete budgie.

I like Ubuntu Budgie 20.04, however I would like to show the boot drive as an icon on the desktop. There is an option to show mounted drives on desktop, but that is only external drives not the boot drive.
