[Bug] Can't add AppLauncher applet to panels #556

Closed Raxelgrande closed 1 month ago

Raxelgrande commented 3 months ago

Description

When i go to Budgie desktop settings and i try to add the AppLauncher applet, it just refuses to add it. Budgie automatically removes that applet before it's even visible, making it impossible to use the applet.

Budgie version

10.9.1

Operating System

Arch Linux

Steps to reproduce the issue

Install EndeavourOS with Budgie Go to budgie desktop settings and try to add the applet

Actual result

It doesn't work.

Expected result

That the applet works as intended

Additional information

I would like to provide more information, but i couldn't get any debugging information on my own. And yes the behavior is that cryptic...

What is AppLauncher? Is it the UbuntuBudgie Applications Menu? How was it installed?

I am assuming this is referring to the budgie-app-launcher applet from Ubuntu Budgie Extras. It appears to be a missing dependency on Arch:

  File "/usr/lib/budgie-desktop/plugins/budgie-app-launcher/AppLauncherApplet.py", line 16, in <module>
    gi.require_version('GMenu', '3.0')
  File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 122, in require_version
    raise ValueError('Namespace %s not available' % namespace)
ValueError: Namespace GMenu not available

[sam@archlinux ~]$ 

Installing gnome-menus should fix it.
