UI bug when trying to package it on Debian

[CicadaSeventeen]

Everything works just fine when

    meson build
    meson compile -C build
    sudo meson install -C build

However, when I try to build and package it, which means like

    meson setup --prefix=/usr build
    meson compile -C build
    sudo meson install -C build --destdir xxx

There is a fatal bug that the login/unlock UI does not show up, so that I cannot input password. What can be the problem?

You should not be changing destdir. That should remain the default, which ends up being / (effectively empty as root), which then adds the prefix (e.g. /usr) on top of it.

There is no UI bug when you are failing to build and install it properly.

Excuse me. Maybe I did not explain clearly. The screensaver does not work correctly even when

    meson setup --prefix=/usr build
    meson compile -C build
    sudo meson install -C build

But it works when

    meson setup --prefix=/usr/libexec/test build
    meson compile -C build
    sudo meson install -C build

or

    meson setup build
    meson compile -C build
    sudo meson install -C build

The problem is that it does not work in /usr dir.

Under debian you will need to recompile budgie desktop without using the meson option with-gnome-screensaver

You also obviously need to uninstall gnome-screensaver as well

Do you mean under Debian or Ubuntu (Ubuntu has similar problem too), budgie-core needs to be recompile budgie-desktop if I want to switch to budgie-screensaver ?
