NickJ2911 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

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?

          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?

                  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.

                            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 J'ai le même problème... obligé de me déconnecter de mon comptre puis de me reconnecté... 😅

                              I have the same problem ... I have to log out of my account and then log back in...

                              • psi replied to this.

                                  papyweb OK thanks for the confirmation, (its why i posted here) i'll wait a while for a response here then log a bug.
                                  can anyone suggest best place to report this? Solus/Budgie/DesktopView?

                                      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.

                                          Was the "Change background" option intentionally removed from the right-click menu? Also, the menu now appears in English instead of the system language.

                                            [deleted] Yes it was intentionally removed and it not being translated just means nobody translated those terms yet.

                                                JoshStrobl Great work from the team, thank you. Love the balanced visual with the audio setting icon.
                                                Wondering if monitor multi orientation possibilities may be worked on. 🙂

                                                  JoshStrobl you have been busy. I've installed every update, every day this week and rebooted. for my budgie it was all smooth; haven't experienced some the problems mentioned in this thread or another. Just throwin it out there for a variable. I echo craig above: thanks.

                                                    JoshStrobl still happening...

                                                    its putting a segfault on dmesg saying it happened in budgie, so wouldn't it be better reported there?
                                                    (as an end user its impossible to know which sub-project might actually accept responsibility.)

                                                    @papyweb same for you?

                                                      @JoshStrobl something awesome happened after today's update! Small glitches are gone when switching workspaces and I can see sliding effect when KODI running in fullscreen!
