How to install Ubuntu Budgie over Ubuntu 18.04

I did that command but only installed some applications but not installed Budgie.

I did "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-budgie-desktop" as said by Rosamunda.

What can I do now? Any body could help please?

Budgie Desktop environment is located in standard Ubuntu universe repository since Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. So you do not need any third-party repositories or PPAs to install it.

You can install the Budgie desktop as task with

sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-budgie-desktop^

In the last command note ^ in the end, it means installing of task with all necessary dependencies.

Then logout and select Budgie session on login screen

and login to it.

If this does not help - reinstall the following packages manually:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall budgie-core budgie-desktop \
budgie-desktop-common budgie-desktop-environment \
budgie-dropby-applet budgie-hotcorners-applet budgie-indicator-applet \
budgie-keyboard-autoswitch-applet budgie-lightdm-theme \
budgie-lightdm-theme-base budgie-previews-applet budgie-quicknote-applet \
budgie-rotation-lock-applet budgie-showtime-applet budgie-wallpapers \

Then configure LightDM as login screen with:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm # select lightdm

reboot and login to Budgie session.
