How To Install Budgie Desktop In Ubuntu 16 04 Or 15 10 Via PPA

Budgie is a modern GTK-based desktop that was written from scratch, with simplicity and elegance in mind.

Used by default in Solus (not to be confused with SolusOS), a relatively new Linux distribution, Budgie Desktop integrates tightly with the GNOME stack and it features a libmutter-based window manager and a customizable panel which includes Raven, an applet, notification and customization center.

Since recent Budgie Desktop versions werent available in any Ubuntu PPA, fossfreedom decided to maintain such a PPA, which offers the latest Budgie Desktop version (10.2.4 at the time Im writing this article), for Ubuntu 15.10 and 16.04. The PPA doesnt support Ubuntu 14.04 because Budgie Desktop requires a newer GTK version.

Ive briefly tested Budgie Desktop in Ubuntu and it works great for the most part - ~~the only issue I have with it so far is that the tray applet doesnt display the nm-applet or Dropbox icons (and probably others)~~. Update: this bug was fixed and the nm-applet icon now shows up in the tray!

I should also mention that Budgie Desktop doesnt support AppIndicators, though this feature might be added in the future.

In other Budgie Desktop news:

Solus 1.1 was released yesterday featuring the latest Budgie Desktop and various improvements. See THIS article for more information;
Budgie Remix is a new Ubuntu (16.04) based Budgie Desktop Linux distributions which, from what I understand, might be the foundation for a new Ubuntu flavor. Right now, this is work in progress and should only be used for testing. More info HERE.

For a quick look at Budgie Desktop (version 10.2.4) in Ubuntu, check out the video below:

Install Budgie Desktop in Ubuntu 15.10 or 16.04 via PPA

-----------------------------------------------
Important update for Ubuntu 16.04 users.

The PPA below now updates Nautilus to version 3.18 (while Ubuntu 16.04 has version 3.14.x), without any Unity patches and because of this, Nautilus doesnt come with any Unity integration, so it uses header bars, it doesnt uses a traditional menu and so on.

If youre using Unity and you know what youre doing, you can lock Nautilus so it never upgrades to the version from this PPA. The other option is to not use the PPA below!

If youve already added the PPA and upgraded Nautilus, you can use PPA Purge to purge the PPA (see below).

-----------------------------------------------

To add the budgie-remix PPA and install the latest Budgie Desktop (version 10.2.4 at the time Im writing this article) in Ubuntu 15.10 or 16.04, use the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:budgie-remix/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install budgie-desktop

Once installed, log out and select "Budgie Desktop" from the login screen session list:

For best results, fossfreedom has included the Moka icon theme and Arc GTK theme in the PPA, and they should be installed automatically when installing budgie-desktop. After logging in, you can switch the GTK/icon themes by clicking on the Status Indicator applet (battery/sound/power), click the top-right settings icon and select "Arc-Dark" for the "Widget theme" and "Moka" for the "Icon theme".

Tip: if youve used THIS to fix large black borders around header bar apps with some themes in Ubuntu 15.10, remove it or else you wont have any shadow for header bar applications under Budgie Desktop.

Update: theres a bug that prevents the GNOME appmenu from being displayed in Budgie Desktop 10.2.4. Until this is fixed, you can use the command below to get it working:

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings overrides "{Gtk/ShellShowsAppMenu: ,Gtk/DecorationLayout: <menu:minimize,maximize,close>}"

Purging the PPA

Since the PPA in this article provides a Nautilus version newer than the one available in the official Ubuntu 16.04 repositories, and without any Unity patches, you might need to purge the PPA at some point.

To purge the budgie-remix PPA (disable it and downgrade any packages installed from that PPA), you can use the following commands:

sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:budgie-remix/ppa

How To Install Cinnamon 3 0 In Ubuntu 16 04 Or 15 10 Via PPA

Cinnamon 3.0 was released yesterday and it includes improved GTK+ 3.20 support, new accessibility and sound settings and more.

Cinnamon is a GTK3 desktop environment, initially started as a fork of GNOME Shell, which is used by default in Linux Mint Cinnamon edition. Among its features are:

panel with a menu, launchers, window list, system tray;
support for panel applets and desktop widgets (Desklets);
supports desktop animations and transition effects;
highly configurable: users can customize the panel (besides applets, the panel supports autohide and the panel layout can be changed: you can use one panel or two panels like the old GNOME 2 layout), easily change themes, customize desktop animations, hot corners, etc.;
much more.

Changes in Cinnamon 3.0 include:

window management improvements on tiling, mapping and unmapping windows, compositor’s window groups and tracking of full screen windows
improved out of the box touchpad support (edge-scrolling and two-finger-scrolling can now be configured independently and are both enabled by default)
new accessibility and sound settings (both rewritten as native cinnamon-settings modules)
battery powered devices can be renamed
different favorite applications can now be set for plain-text, documents and source code files
panel launchers now include application actions
animation effects are now enabled by default on dialogs and menus
favorites and system options can now be disabled in the menu applet
the photo-frame desklet now also scans subdirectories
improved support for GTK 3.20, Spotify 0.27, Viber

Here are the new Cinnamon accessibility and sound settings:

And the Preferred Applications dialog which now allows settings different applications for opening documents, plain text, and source code files:

Cinnamon 3.0 will be included with Linux Mint 18 Cinnamon edition. Its not yet clear if it will be available for Linux Mint 17.3, but I assume thats pretty difficult to achieve, considering that Linux Mint 17.3 is based on Ubuntu 14.04 which uses a pretty old GTK+ version (3.10).

Update: Clem mentioned in a comment that "versions 3.0, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.6 are targeting Mint 18.x.", so Linux Mint 17.x users wont be getting Cinnamon 3.x.

Note that in the screenshots above, Im using the new Linux Mint Mint Y GTK and icon themes as well as the Linux Mint Cinnamon theme. Youll find download links for these below, under "Cinnamon 3.0 tweaks for Ubuntu".

Install Cinnamon 3.0 in Ubuntu 16.04 or 15.10 via PPA

Important: if you want to install Cinnamon in Ubuntu and youre using the WebUpd8 Nemo PPA, purge that PPA before proceeding. Also, dont add this PPA if you use Linux Mint.

The PPAs that uses to provide Cinnamon stable werent updated with the latest Cinnamon 3.0. I did find 2 PPAs with Cinnamon 3.0:

Sunderland93s Cinnamon PPA (Ubuntu 16.04 only - its still in the process of being updated at the time Im writing this article)
embrosyns Cinnamon PPA (for Ubuntu 16.04 and 15.10)

Theres also the Cinnamon Nightly Builds PPA, but its not recommended for regular users because it contains untested / unstable code from Git!

For the instructions below Im using embrosyns Cinnamon stable PPA.

To add the PPA and install Cinnamon 3.0 in Ubuntu 16.04 or 15.10, use the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:embrosyn/cinnamon
sudo apt update
sudo apt install cinnamon blueberry

Once installed, log out and select Cinnamon from the login screen:

Tweaks

1. Themes

In Ubuntu 16.04, Ambiance and Radiance themes have some issues in Cinnamon, like missing shadows for CSD apps.

However, there are quite a few themes out there that should work properly in Cinnamon, like Numix GTK Theme (available in the official repositories). To install Numix GTK Theme, use the following command:

sudo apt install numix-gtk-theme

You can also download the official Linux Mint themes, including the new Mint Y Theme from Linux Mint 18, by using the links below:

mint-themes (youll also need libreoffice-style-mint because mint-themes depends on it, as well as mint-x-icons and mint-themes-gtk3, both linked below)
mint-themes-gtk3 (download the 3.18 version - its for GTK 3.18, available in Ubuntu 16.04)
mint-y-theme
mint-x-icons
mint-y-icons
cinnamon-themes

Note: to be able to install "libreoffice-style-mint", youll need to remove the "libreoffice-style-human" package, which is installed by default in Ubuntu 15.10.

To install them, download the deb files using the links above and place them in a folder - lets call it "deb" -, in your home directory (~/deb). Then use dpkg to install all the packages at once, using the following command:

sudo dpkg -i ~/deb/*.deb

2. Shutdown fix

In my test in Ubuntu 15.10, selecting "Quit" from the Cinnamon menu (which allows you to shutdown the computer) doesnt work properly - the dialog doesnt display any buttons other than "Cancel".

If you have this issue, fix it by using the following commands:

gsettings set org.cinnamon.desktop.session settings-daemon-uses-logind true
gsettings set org.cinnamon.desktop.session session-manager-uses-logind true
gsettings set org.cinnamon.desktop.session screensaver-uses-logind false

... and restart the session (logout or restart the system).

I should also mention that I didnt encounter this issue in Ubuntu 16.04.

Thanks to Kevin @ AskUbuntu for the fix!

How to revert the changes

There are two ways you can revert the changes made by using the PPA above to install Cinnamon: either completely remove Cinnamon 3.0 or you can downgrade the packages installed from the PPA and use the Cinnamon version available in the official Ubuntu repositories.

A) Completely remove Cinnamon 3.0

Firstly remove the PPA:

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/embrosyn-cinnamon*.list

Then, to completely remove Cinnamon, you can use the following command:

sudo apt purge cinnamon* libcinnamon* nemo* libnemo-extension1 cjs libcjs0e blueberry gir1.2-cinnamondesktop-3.0 gir1.2-meta-muffin-0.0 libmuffin0 muffin-common

You may then use "autoremove" to remove all the depedencies that were installed and are no longer required:

sudo apt autoremove

B) Purge the PPA

By purging the PPA, you can downgrade Cinnamon to the version available in the official Ubuntu repositories. You can do this with PPA Purge:

sudo apt install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:embrosyn/cinnamon
