solus_me I suppose, I'll have to hide the icons for now.
Or you could get used to it? I know change can be hard sometimes 
Budgie 10.5.2 Released
solus_me I personally, ummm, strongly dislike, having that personal control of the destkop disappeared from me. But you can make some moves in the Nautilus desktop folder in the interim. What is the interim you ask? They are bringing drag and drop back...in 1.1...no ETA of course...I wish I had a time machine
Should the left click on the desktop closes the Raven? 
Solarmass It only did that when Desktop Icons was disabled previously, so that's not something I thought of. But that's a good point actually and would be fairly trivial to implement since we can call it asynchronously over DBus. Mind filing a feature request at https://github.com/getsolus/budgie-desktop-view please?

JoshStrobl sure
JoshStrobl budgie-desktop-view 1.0 is installed. when I ran ps -aux | grep 'budgie-desktop-view' this is what I got back: 2344 0.0 0.0 216576 2280 pts/0 S+ 18:41 0:00 grep budgie-desktop-view
Is this the right command to run to see if I have broken packages?
sudo eopkg check | grep Broken | awk '{print $4}' | xargs sudo eopkg it --reinstall
Also what can I do to fix the broken packages? I'm new to linux and not very savvy with all this. If there is an issue filed regarding this will I just have to wait for a new update? Thanks!

Sounds like Budgie Desktop View isn't running, so sounds like it probably segfaulted during startup since it should be starting with your system automatically (we pre-install it as an autostarting application). Run us.getsol.budgie-desktop-view in Terminal and see what happens maybe? If it segfaults, would be nice to follow up with you on GitHub (I linked the issue tracker in my previous response to you) to determine the root cause. If it doesn't segfault and you see icons, then for whatever reason it isn't being added to your autostarting applications like it should.
JoshStrobl I just ran: us.getsol.budgie-desktop-view
And I got back: Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Would running: sudo eopkg check | grep Broken | awk '{print $4}' | xargs sudo eopkg it --reinstall
fix the issue?
- Edited
NickJ2911 No, that isn't something that can be fixed through a reinstall. The issue was already reported, I linked it to you earlier, I'd appreciate if you could comment on the issue I linked with some details (you can redact any personal info) on what files you have in ~/Desktop
Thanks!
JoshStrobl I set up a new issue on github under that link. Sorry about that. New to all this. How do I get you the info you need in ~/Desktop. Do I run something terminal?
- Edited
NickJ2911 This issue is related to segfaults. Running ls ~/Desktop in the Terminal and putting the contents in a comment of the issue I linked may be beneficial, you're welcome to rename the files (keep the same extension though) if you feel it has personally identifiable information. If you have any .desktop files in ~/Desktop, the contents of them would be appreciated as well. They're just basic text files, so you can open them up in any text editor
Thanks in advance!

JoshStrobl I'm glad you have the +/- buttons on the sound slider. The ability to change volume without using the slider is an assistive technology important for users without fine motor control, and for older people in general. I encourage you to add similar +/- buttons to Raven at some point in the future, if and when you have time. The 10.5.2 update is great overall. The individual changes are subtle, but the cumulative changes make Budgie much better.
sorry if this has been covered, a couple of bugs/oddities
1 )cant add budgie desktop settings to favorites
2 )adding budgie desktop settings to plank means if i click it the budgie panel goes away minimized i think, as if i click again it comes back, i guess 1) and 2) are connected and that 1) is on purpose because of 2) ?
3)desktop icons go under left panel or left plank (unity style)
Lucien_Lachance cant add budgie desktop settings to favorites
Intentional, mentioned in the blog post: "This enabled us to resolve an issue where the pin and new instance buttons were being unintentionally shown, as well as an issue where you could not close Budgie Desktop Settings". It's part of the panel.
adding budgie desktop settings to plank means if i click it the budgie panel goes away minimized i think, as if i click again it comes back
Because it's part of the panel
desktop icons go under left panel or left plank (unity style)
Issue not specific to desktop icons unfortunately. It's a Budgie bug: https://github.com/solus-project/budgie-desktop/issues/1099
To clarify, separating out Budgie Desktop Settings from the panel is something I want to do but it involves a lot of clean up, new DBus signals, etc. Whether it'll happen in Budgie 10.5 series remains to be seen.
JoshStrobl no big deal
all my desktop icons are now suddenly disappearing, in something of the order of a few hours or so, (not reappearing until reboot) any ideas?

psi I would double check that the issue still persists with budgie-desktop-view 1.0.2 (make sure to relog or reboot to make sure you're actually using the latest version), which I released today. If it is, report it on https://github.com/getsolus/budgie-desktop-view (don't report it here, this isn't where I follow-up on bugs), provide information like if you recently renamed files in ~/Desktop, moved files in / out, modified the contents of the file(s), list of files that are getting removed, etc.
