I'm Running Solus OS (budgie) and its pretty cool

chrisfromgreece

Its my favorite distro again.
Very good performance
What i don't get is why the Solus Software Center doesn't let the user select the applications he wants to install and the with a press of a button install them all automatically. I hope this feature will come in the future.
Budgie desktop is cool and performance is also nice.

The Solus Software Center is going to be deprecated in near future in favor of GNOME Software and (KDE)Discover. Both Software Centers are already in the Solus repository. I don't know if any of those suppoprts that feature.
But it is highly unlikely that any features get added to Solus Software Center before it's removal.

Hi,

Glad you like Solus 🙂.
The software center is to be phased out pretty soon, so you can either go with Gnome software center (gtk) or Discover (qt).

SethStorm666 Guess we answered at the same time 🙈

chrisfromgreece

So it will be replaced by gnome software center/ plasma discover , is it already working ?

SethStorm666

chrisfromgreece

I'm on KDE and I'm already using Discover. So far no problem.

chrisfromgreece

SethStorm666 it uses the Solus package manager to install packages ?
Also i have setup online accounts but i can't find google drive on nemo a nemo extension might be missing or something.

chrisfromgreece ale nie mogę znaleźć Dysku Google na Nemo

To mount Google Drive in Nemo on Budgie:

Install gnome-control-center and gnome-online-accounts:
sudo eopkg install gnome-control-center gnome-online-accounts

Run:
gnome-control-center online-accounts
→ Add your Google account.

After logging in, remove gnome-control-center:
sudo eopkg rmf gnome-control-center

Keep gnome-online-accounts installed.

Reinstall gvfs-goa (it was removed along with GCC):
sudo eopkg install gvfs-goa

Google Drive will then appear in Nemo’s sidebar and can be mounted/unmounted without re-logging.

Original-Syn

As mentioned, it is being phased out, and in the FAQ linked above, it recommends Discover for Budgie, XFCE, & Plasma. It is fully functional at this point. When you install either Discover or Gnome Softtware, it is recommened to remove the Solus Software Center sudo eopkg rm solus-sc .

pomon i have installed gvfs-goa , it works now !

As far as I know, you have to Install gnome-online-accounts-gtk on Budgie.
And with that, GNOME Control Center isn't needed.

https://github.com/xapp-project/gnome-online-accounts-gtk

Edit: There was a brief period of time where Budgie users had to install gnome control center to set up online accounts. This got resolved with introduction of gnome-online-accounts-gtk.

Sync notes introducing gnome-online-accounts-gtk

Also making a first appearance is gnome-online-accounts-gtk, a standalone
application for setting up online accounts such as Google, Outlook, IMAP, etc., accounts
on GTK desktops. Now that GNOME Online Accounts has been ported to GTK4/libAdwaita,
it isn't usable in other control centers, such as Budgie Control Center, leaving users of these
desktops with no way to configure their accounts. The first application published under the
new XApp cross-desktop initiative, users of Budgie, XFCE, and MATE can again configure accounts
with this program.

Oh, that’s even better. I didn’t even know about that package. Awesome. 😃
