[13:06] <wallen_> Hello, I am configuring my keyboard shortcuts after installing budgie. I noticed that the usual shortcut to switch between windows of the same application group (alt+key_above_tab) seems to work only for certain applications (e.g.: terminator), while it does not work for others (e.g.: chromium, intellij, android studio). Any ideas?
[13:11] <fossfreedom_> wallen_: have you got the windows previews applet enabled (on the panel in budgie-settings) ?
[13:21] <wallen_> fossfreedom: I can only find the window move or the workspace switcher applets, am I missing packages?
[13:24] <fossfreedom_> 18.04 wallen_ ?
[13:24] <wallen_> yEP
[13:25] <fossfreedom_> was this a minimal install or a normal install?
[13:25] <wallen_> it was a normal ubuntu install
[13:26] <fossfreedom_> k - and you haven't got the windows previews applet available to add to the panel ? Check in budgie-welcome - software - budgie applets if it is installed
[13:37] <wallen_> I actually just installed budgie-welcome (I installed budgie by apt-installing budgie-desktop) since it wasn't a dependency by the looks of it. It prompts me for the installation of the SNAP package and for a reboot, I will restart it later since I can't at the moment, thanks for the help thoguh :-) I'll report back
[13:45] <wallen_> Budgie is amazing though, so much snappier than gnome on my machine
[13:46] <xincognito10[m]> yeah
[13:47] <xincognito10[m]> my favorite feature is the transparent panels. Makes the os look so clean and professional, like elementary oos
[13:47] <xincognito10[m]> *OS
[13:54] <fossfreedom_> wallen_: ah - good - that was confusing me - yeah - if you just install budgie-desktop you get the vanilla setup without any other packages like budgie-welcome, pocillo theme etc etc
[21:49] <GuiToris> hey, is it safe to upgrade to a newer release?
[21:50] <fossfreedom> GuiToris, stable is next week.  Last minute fixes will be put in during the last week
[21:51] <GuiToris> fossfreedom, one time I upgraded and I couldn't start my computer anymore
[21:51] <GuiToris> I needed to reinstall it
[21:51] <GuiToris> I have 16.04 installed on my computer
[21:52] <fossfreedom> generally it is recommended that users sitting on a LTS release upgrade when prompted at 18.04.1 - i.e. mid July.  This allows for things to settle down
[21:53] <GuiToris> oh, am I going to be noticed?
[21:54] <fossfreedom> not sure I understand.  "noticed?"
[21:55] <GuiToris> will Budgie offer an upgrade?
[21:56] <fossfreedom> yes - regular upgrade mechanism
[21:57] <GuiToris> does regular upgrade mechanism make my 16.04 18.04?
[21:57] <fossfreedom> yes
[21:57] <GuiToris> that's great, thanks
