antaljGood Morning!10:00
antaljIs there a possibility to resize KDE's vertical panel by height? I would like to have a unity like launch pad on the left. Ubuntu 14.04, KDE 4.13.3. Thx ^^10:00
lordievaderantalj: For the horizontal, yes. So I suppose the vertical can do so too.10:02
antaljohm, yeah thx, but I could not find any option for that. Where is it incase of horizontal10:04
antaljI mean there is an option to modify the height for the horizontal but with that I can not make it "shorter".10:05
lordievaderantalj: Panel settings -> Width10:05
antaljyeah that makes it bigger but not shorter. I want to have the panel not along the full screen10:06
lordievaderAhh, I misunderstood, hold on.10:07
lordievaderantalj: Panel-properties -> then drag the little triangles.10:08
antaljoh lol thx :) I did not seen those before10:10
antaljhave not seen ^^10:10
antaljoh yeah now its great10:10
lordievaderThey are rarely used, but KDE supports loads of customization.10:11
antaljyeah, currently I am just learning the many possibilities :) actually this is why I decided at the KDE10:13
antaljMay I have an other question, this is quite interesting10:44
antaljIf I press the fn + brightness keys on my Asus laptop it does not change the brightness at all, but the effect appears on the screen (the pad with numbers). This works perfectly under gnome and unity but in KDE. I have searched around for possible solutions but it is a mass unfortunately.10:48
lordievaderantalj: Try setting acpi_backlight=vendor: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Debugging/Backlight10:53
antaljlordievader: unfortunately that do not work. I have placed the parameter after quite spalsh in grub11:21

GortiZ_Hello, I've found that my sata drives have lost the ID_PATH variable needed to create symlinks into /dev/disks/by-path/ folder. How can I fix it? I've noticed it migrating from *buntu 12.04 LTS to 14.04 LTS. I've also tryied to write on the #udev channel but nobody answered.12:58
GortiZ_Is there a forum/bugzilla/lauchpad/... where I can write?12:59
hateballGortiZ_: there is askubuntu.com, launchpad for bugs, or the other *buntu channels. Possibly #ubuntu might offer more response for such a general question13:00
GortiZ_hateball: I thought that the issue was not really distro related that's why I asked for some "udev" resource (I've searched on internet but on the freedesktop.org site I didn't find their bug tool). Anyway I'll ask on #ubuntu channel to see if somebody has an answer before filling the bug on lauchpad. Thanks13:01

jerwaregood enough lordievader.  But which repo am I missing?  http://codepad.org/0skYF6Mr16:55

lordievaderjerware: Anyhow there might be a ppa somewhere, but ppa's are unsupported...17:41
jerwareI take it trusty isn't the latest kubuntu?17:41
lordievaderjerware: No, Utopic (14.10) is. But Trusty is an LTS so there is a reasonable change it will receive a backport.17:44
jerwareHow can I upgrade to utopic from the shell so I won't have to  burn a cd and wipe my hard drive?17:45
jerwaresafely.17:46
lordievaderjerware: sudo do-release-upgrade, but it is wise to have your system be fully updated.17:47

jerwareI clicked the more button of Muon Manager and can't find any options relevent to LTS.  What is the trail of buttons/widgets if LTS is even an option?19:10
jerwareif  do-release-upgrade returns no new release found, why not apt-get dist upgrade?19:19
geniijerware: What release are you currently on?19:20
jerwaretrusty19:20
arthurfiggishello :) regarding the "diagnostics" in system settings (which seems to be just an opt-in/opt-out setting for sending some sort of analytics/error reports to canonical automatically)...if i click on "previous reports" there's a number apparently listed for my system, but even after registering an account you also need to register for permission to read the error reports? is there a reason...19:26
arthurfiggis...for that, or did i get lost somewhere :)19:26
geniijerware: Because the normal settings in LTS are to wait for the next LTS, you will not usually get a notice until then. If you want to go from an LTS to the next interim ( so here Trusty to Utopic) then you need to change in the file /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades the line: Prompt=lts  into: Prompt=normal19:30
