I have an issue under Budgie with KeyPress events not being raised.

So I installed Gnome to troubleshoot:

sudo eopkg install gdm gnome-shell gnome-desktop-branding

This procedure replaced my lightdm greeter app. Please help me figure out the name of this new greeter? If I search for "greet" in Software Center none of the greeters listed are installed. I would also much appreciate if someone could pinpoint me to a configuration tool for this greeter?

  • Jumpy GDM will replace LightDM, if you install Gnome. GDM offers minimal customization. You can do it by installing GDM Settings via flatpak :

    flatpak install flathub io.github.realmazharhussain.GdmSettings

      Jumpy gdm is the login/display manager for Gnome. I'm not sure about customisation.

          Okay now I noticed some problems with Gnome. Seems like some components are missing. Nothing happens if I select anything from the right click context menu that pops up from desktop such as "Change background...", "Display Settings" or "Settings". I also found an icon for "Login Window" from the Start Menu; Which asks for my password but then launches nothing.

              Jumpy I think you need to install the gnome-control-center package too.

                Also be aware that with GDM, computer will go to suspend on it's own if you don't login right away after boot.

                  brent I have been making my own programs in Gambas3, an integrated development environment only available for the GNU/Linux. This week I noticed that KeyPress events are not being raised. I can enter text in text boxes, but I can't catch the KeyPress events like I was able to before the bug appeared. Other Gambas users don't have this issue, but they don't use Solus. I experimented with OpenSUSE Tumbleweed under KDE Plasma and I had no issues there. This is a new issue and has appeared at some point with Solus updates. Unfortunately the time frame is several months since I can confirm it last worked; I cannot pinpoint it better. I did some further testing with Solus. I changed the desktop environment from Budgie to Gnome. And found out that Gambas KeyPress events are bugged under X.org (both budgie and Gnome), but work fine under the Wayland version of Gnome. I would like to know if this this bug is affecting anyone else in any form?
