Solved Budgie System Settings Issue

[LinuxHub]

I'm having a weird issue with Budgie on Arch Linux. Whenever I try to open System Settings it logs me out. Anyone have a clue as to why this is happening. here is a quick video to see the error happen:

Thanks

G'day. I don't use Budgie, nor Arch, although I run 16 - 17 Arch-based distros, one being Arcollinux.

They had this three years ago.

So it may be a GNOME issue, or else perhaps check with Arch bugs as mentioned there.

Someone else may have better ideas.

Good luck and if you find the answer by all means share with us.

Good luck

I finally managed to work it out. It was an issue with other software fighting with gnome dependencies. I removed all custom software and got it to work. I will have to re add software one by one to pinpoint what exact software it was. That's gonna take a while. Marking thread as solved. when I figure out what exact software it was I will post it here. Thanks

Wonderful! So GNOME was involved.

My advice would be to install Timeshift before you start re-adding the software and take snapshots as required to roll back to.

sudo pacman -S timeshift

I'm building a custom respin so it's a matter of creating new iso's until I figure the culprit. Time consuming task

Removing the following fixed it for me. The xorg and video settings were already baked into the budgie system. somehow reinstalling them broke the system.
"gstreamer",
"gstreamermm",
"gstreamer-vaapi"
"xorg",
"xf86-video-amdgpu",
"xf86-video-intel",
"xf86-video-nouveau",
"xf86-video-qxl",
"xf86-video-vmware",
