Display settings missing after installing Budgie

lsorsa

Hi,

I have used Solus MATE for a bit over year now, and I'm really loving it. Recently I've started thinking about trying Budgie, but I'm not really interested in reinstalling the system. Today I read a post on reddit and decided to try Budgie. After installing and switching to Budgie, my displays were not configured properly. This was expected, and I thought it would be simply be a matter of quick configuration.

However, I'm now unable to find any sort of of display configuration in Budgie. I checked the help page of display configurations, and I can't find display settings from the Budgie Menu. On top of that I have the display configurations options described in the GNOME section when I right-click the desktop, but after I try selecting any of the selections nothing happens. Am I missing some package that has the display configurations of Budgie, or is there some mispackaging of configurations that cause Budgie DE to somehow have GNOME configurations options? Any help is appreciated 🙂

Long story short, I installed Budgie DE after using MATE for quite a long time and now I'm unable to configure the displays in Budgie.

lsorsa It's in the Control Center

Control Center

(sorry I had to switch my Budgie box in french to help with the translations so I can't check the exact name in english but it should be Display or Screen or Monitor).

Wow, I hadn't noticed that the screenshot tool took overlap in screenshots (till now).

Thanks for the quick reply. I cannot find anything like control center (or displays, keyboards, printers, etc.) from Budgie Menu. And from software center, I can only find MATE and GNOME control centers (+devels).

Is it possible that I don't have the Budgie control center installed? And if not, what's the package it should come with? From what I can tell the only Budgie packages I'm missing are devel and docs packages.

kyrios Thanks a lot! After installing the GNOME control center I got the cofigurations working. I don't think I could have figured that out on my on, at least without few hours of googling.
