    I just barely installed Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on my headless server, running the budgie desktop. (I accidentally completely destroyed the previous installation of 18.04. : /) Normally, I disable lightdm, since I get abysmal performance with it when the display isn’t connected, and I let NoMachine create a virtual display. That worked perfectly fine in 18.04, but now, Plank is completely nonfunctional. I can’t open it at all. My client computer is also running Ubuntu 20.04, but with the Gnome desktop.

    Hi.

    You need to edit /usr/NX/etc/node.cfg and change command starting virtual desktop to this:

    DefaultDesktopCommand "env XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 /usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/bin/dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session /usr/bin/budgie-desktop"
