[17:21] <chris_uk[m]> Greetings.... (full message at https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/libera.chat/e2862805552e79d177aef7cd78c6c4fcb4f2640d)
[17:22] <chris_uk[m]> Are those commands the best to use?
[17:23] <Eickmeyer> chris_uk[m]: alt-space (for krunner), then type 'plasmashell --replace'.
[17:24] <Eickmeyer> Not sure why the taskbar is disappearing on you. Can't reproduce here.
[17:24] <chris_uk[m]> It first happened using open source graphics drivers so I switched to the proprietary Nvidia drivers but problem still occurs.
[17:25] <Eickmeyer> Yeah, that makes absolutely no sense. Graphics drivers would not have a factor. I do know that most of Plasma (and KDE Frameworks) were recently rebuilt on Qt 5.15.3.
[17:25] <Eickmeyer> Only if you're trying to run in Wayland would graphics drivers have a factor.
[17:26] <chris_uk[m]>  Ok
[17:27] <Eickmeyer> chris_uk[m]: Do you have hybrid graphics, meaning both intel and Nvidia?
[17:27] <Eickmeyer> Not that it's a factor for plasma, but I do have a helpful hint if you do.
[17:28] <OvenWerks> also added taskbar plugins
[17:29] <chris_uk[m]> Not sure. Nvidia GPU. There could be a graphics chip on the board but the PC builders probably disabled it?
[17:30] <OvenWerks> should show up on the pci bus
[17:30] <OvenWerks> lspci would show it
[17:30] <Eickmeyer> chris_uk[m]: I was going to suggest you install 'plasma-optimus' which is a systray plugin for plasma that makes it easy to switch between integrated and dedicated GPU.
[17:33] <chris_uk[m]> I have results of lspci. What am I looking for exactly?
[17:34] <chris_uk[m]> Be back in 30 min
[18:31] <chris_uk[m]> No mention of Intel in p
[18:32] <chris_uk[m]> lspci listing Mostly AMD stuff. It is an Asus board.
[18:35] <chris_uk[m]> 00:00.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Family 17h (Models 00h-0fh) Root Complex... (full message at https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/libera.chat/8322a7e447a24a5cf6ac3ba3125c8eb268fb9eed)
[18:55] <Eickmeyer> Ah, AMD. So no intel, it probably won't work. Nevermind.
[19:01] <chris_uk[m]> Ok. 
[19:03] <chris_uk[m]> Does adding the thunderbird icon to the task manager cause problems?
[19:37] <Eickmeyer> It shouldn't.
[20:07] <M-spirit[m]> hi
[20:07] <M-spirit[m]> i need help, someone can help me?
[20:11] <krytarik> We'd need to know the issue you got to answer this..
[20:13] <M-spirit[m]> i'm getting trouble with my new HDD external... I've done reset of my laptop yesterday and i Saved all files on that HDD, but now it doesn't work, i cannot mount it i think because I changed the file system from "exFAT" to "Ext4" ... that's the error message: "
[20:14] <M-spirit[m]> "error mounting /dev/sda1 at /media/ (.....) wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on dev/sda1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error
[20:20] <krytarik> M-spirit[m]: With such a generic question you might be better off in the main #ubuntu channel, but not sure what syntax you need to join it from Matrix.
[20:41] <Eickmeyer> #ubuntu:libera.chat
[20:41] <Eickmeyer> Just click on that ^
[21:06] <M-spirit[m]> done it
[21:06] <M-spirit[m]> thank you ;9
[21:06] <M-spirit[m]> ;)
[21:10] <OvenWerks> chris_uk[m]: this is the video card:  07:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP107 [GeForce GTX 1050] (rev a1)
[21:18] <chris_uk[m]> Ok, thanks
[21:20] <chris_uk[m]> So, is there an onboard graphics chip enabled as well as the Nvidia Geforce? Is it hybrid graphics or not? 
[22:07] <OvenWerks> chris_uk[m]: if there was another even onboard (more likely part of the CPU chip like my i5) then it would still show up as a PCI card that said: VGA compatible controller
[22:08] <OvenWerks> chris_uk[m]: My son's graphics card, which has no VGA port, is still called a VGA compatible controller
[22:08] <OvenWerks> So no there is no other graphics controler so far as the OS can see
[22:43] <chris_uk[m]> Thanks. 
[23:57] <eyduh[m]> hey,... (full message at https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/libera.chat/9a2b8564996a69bb7792d891044ec95395f35032)
