Install Evolve OS Alpha 1 with Budgie Desktop on VirtualBox

gnome-screenshot fails to launch, missing schema (workaround: install scrot from repo, sudo pisi it scrot) Stray development files in system: Please report them so these packages can be improved, i.e. the -devel packages need splitting correctly!
