However, the dock appears frozen - it does not interact with the user. The problem is that 26.04 also switches from nemo-desktop to budgie- desktop-view for its desktop icons solution. nemo-desktop is autostarted in 24.04 via a budgie specific autostart file called budgie-nemo.desktop. This is not removed on the upgrade - so nemo-desktop also runs on 26.04 which overlays on-top of crystal-dock and hence it appears frozen. The solution is to remove /etc/xdg/autostart/budgie-nemo.desktop ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 26.04 Package: budgie-desktop-environment 0.24.16 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 7.0.0-22.22-generic 7.0.0 Uname: Linux 7.0.0-22-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.34.0-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckMismatches: ./boot/grub/i386-pc/eltorito.img CasperMD5CheckResult: fail CurrentDesktop: Budgie Date: Fri Jun 26 20:21:28 2026 InstallationDate: Installed on 2026-04-05 (82 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Budgie 26.04 "Resolute Raccoon" - Daily amd64 (20260402) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: budgie-desktop-environment UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install)
