Installation

Now we will install our own lightweight Budgie desktop in Ubuntu14.04 LTS. First, we will add the PPA source to our Ubuntu. Execute the following command:

$sudo add-apt-repository ppa:evolve-os/ppa

After adding the ppa, run the following command to update the local software repository.

$sudo apt-get update

Then simply execute the following command to install

$sudo apt-get install budgie-desktop

Be careful

This is an active development version, some of the main features may not be particularly perfect, such as: no network manager, no volume control components (can be controlled using the keyboard), no notification system and can not lock app to the taskbar.

There is a temporary solution to disable the overlay scroll bar: set another default theme, and then exit the current session from the terminal:

$gnome-session-quit

Log in to the Budgie session

After the installation is complete, we can choose to go to the budgie desktop when we log in.
