Restoring Panel Defaults
To restore Budgie's default panel settings, run the command below
budgie-panel --reset --replace &
After this you can press CTRL + D to close the terminal without closing the Budgie Panel process.
Enable Numlock at Login
At the login screen on boot, numlock might not be enabled even if set in your BIOS / UEFI.
To change this, you will need the numlockx and lightdm-settings packages:
sudo eopkg it numlockx lightdm-settings && sudo lightdm-settings
Numlock can then be enabled or disabled via a toggle switch on the Settings tab:
Note: in the Budgie Menu, you can find lightdm-settings as System Tools > Login Window.
