kubasama Can you get journalctl logs from a failed login? That's the only way we can narrow down what part is failing.

      kubasama This has happened to me several times. It was always a mesalib error. I would suggest:

      1. Go to TTY Ctrl+Alt+F2 or other function key.
      2. Log in to your account. Enter your name and password (it will not be visible).
      3. Execute sudo eopkg it --reinstall mesalib and reboot.
        If this does not help then do steps 1 and 2, write sudo eopkg check | grep Broken | awk '{print $4}' | xargs sudo eopkg it --reinstall and reboot

          pomon nope, Budgie remains broken.

          Also tried to rollback update, but:
          System error. Program terminated.
          Repo item perl-net-smtp-ssl not found

              Same thing happened to me yesterday. I solved it by creating a new user and copying all files from the new user directory in my own home dir (also chown'ed it). Now login into Budgie works again, except of course, I now have to re-create all my desktop settings.

                kubasama
                sudo eopkg it https://packages.getsol.us/shannon/p/perl-net-smtp-ssl/perl-net-smtp-ssl-1.04-14-1-x86_64.eopkg
                and then try rollback again.

                  pillmuncher Thanks for the tip. Removing all config files fixes the problem. Also, it's possible that Budgie screenshot applet was at fault here, because whenever I try to add it now, it causes a crash.

                    I just wanted to add the WeatherShow applet to the panel and now the Budgie Desktop Settings program hangs and also the panel. Rebooting fixed that.

                      After startup I get the notification that the Network Connection was established. Clicking on "Don't show this message again" in the notification popup has no effect, the next time I log in the notification reappears.

                        Contrary to what I wrote before the WeatherShow applet wasn't installed, and whenever I try to install it, it immediately hangs. That is, already the "Choose a plugin" dialog window hangs, and with it the "Budgie Desktop Settings" window, and the panel.

                        BTW, I had already uninstalled the budgie-screenshot-applet.

                        EbonJaeger I turned the notification off by switching on org / gnome / nm-applet / disable-connected-notifications in the dconf-editor.

                          Just adding my Budgie experience here (already wrote on reddit)
                          Synced, borked, rolled back, fine.
                          Uninstalled budgie screenshot applet, rebooted, and budgie runs smoother and faster than ever.
                          Synced, rebooted, system is perfectly fine.
                          Thank you @algent !

                          presianbg 115 is way way way faster...

                          I haven't noticed that yet, perhaps because I don't have any accounts that large, but I've read their list of improvements, and I like that -- for the most part -- there are no changes that require one to re-learn how to use Thunderbird. The one I mentioned is the only one I've noticed, and now that I know the secret, it's a very nice improvement over the old version.

                            budgie-extras has been cherry-picked to Stable to fix the issue with Weather Show and the screenshot applet coexisting.
