Yup. They've got their own ffmpeg implementation. I downloaded the latest .deb off the ubuntu repo and extracted the libffmpeg.so. Then I made a symbolic link to it in /usr/lib/opera/ . I am sure it'll break sooner or later (when the version numbers of opera and chromium misalign again), so definitely not recommended as a long-term strategy.

Outright ridiculous how opera and vivaldi totally neglect support for non-Debian systems. I was able to make it work, but had to extract the libffmpeg off chromium-codecs*.deb ....

Hi, thanks for the interest ! It is a Thinkpad X220 , and I am using ThinkPad Mini Dock Series 3. Additional info which I suspect might be connected to this bug:

I always keep the lid closed when the laptop is docked. I think this is standard practice.
It is a Display port, and not HDMI. Wrote down HDMI because that is what Raven recognises it as. I have another bug submitted to the budgie community concerning how Raven allows the user to change output from 'HDMI' to laptop speakers, but vice-versa never works.
If the undocked laptop is suspended by closing the lid, and it is then docked and powered up from sleep (while the lid remains closed), the external monitor just shows a blank screen.

@skmlcd Thanks! I had looked at it, but it seemed more about edges than corners. I'm coming to Budgie from Pantheon, so my workflow rotates around the hot corners.

Hi @ikey could I have a link to the feature request please ? I would like to subscribe but can't seem to find it on the budgie github.

So you think this is to do with the MATLAB installer being geared towards a Debian install rather than the standard Linux directory structure ? If I can just get the location of the icon after installation I can try writing a simple script which sorts out the links and the .desktop.
