Ubuntu Budgie 17.04
BIOS - fix gray screen after dell logo with no grub menu
This is fixed in Ubuntu Budgie 17.10 (tested on beta1).
- Start OS - if you see only gray screen after dell logo pres
CTRL+ALT+DELETE
and wait when OS boot again, grub should appear if not, do this step again -
Edit file
/etc/default/grub
and disableGRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT
like this:#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
-
Reload grub:
sudo update-grub
-
If you have disk encrypted, you will properly see GRUB but then there will be again only gray screen after it, press
CTRL+ALT+F2
- screen should change to black (if not press it again) then pressCTRL+ALT+F7
- black screen with password promt should appear
Use backports for newset Budgie Desktop (10.4) with ALT+TAB, several applets and other features
Ubuntu Budgie 17.10 already has Budgie Desktop 10.4.
Install ppa backports
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntubudgie/backports
sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade
Install Gnome Tweak Tool
sudo apt install gnome-tweak-tool
I personally use:
- Appearance -> Global Dark Theme -> Enabled
- Appearance -> Enable animations -> Disabled
- Workspaces -> Number of Workspaces ->
2
Additional applets
Caffeine
sudo apt install caffeine
Simple weather indicator
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kasra-mp/ubuntu-indicator-weather
sudo apt update && sudo apt install indicator-weather
Do not forgot to put it into startup applications.
National Geographic Wallpaper
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:atareao/atareao
sudo apt update ; sudo atp install national-geographic-wallpaper
