| user|76 | i want to make the ones on the left smaller | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| mmikowski | Please send a link to a screen shot so I can understand. | 00:00 |
| user|76 | can we upload direct screenshots? | 00:01 |
| mmikowski | you should be able to upload to imgr or similar | 00:02 |
| mmikowski | then share the link | 00:02 |
| user|7620 | https://imgur.com/a/Ul7sZ7S | 00:07 |
| user|76 | ahh close enough it put in as 7620 oh well | 00:07 |
| mmikowski | user|76: ok, it is clear now | 00:07 |
| mmikowski | the RH side is the system tray. | 00:07 |
| user|76 | ok what about the left side? | 00:08 |
| mmikowski | That resizes differently as discussed above - it will add rows or columns to accommodate the widgets | 00:08 |
| mmikowski | The LH side are the normal icons. | 00:09 |
| mmikowski | So if you narrow the bar, you will reduce the size of those icons. | 00:09 |
| user|76 | oh i see its more about the size of the height of that bar | 00:09 |
| mmikowski | So just RMB click on the task bar, enter edit mode, then reduce the bar height. | 00:10 |
| user|76 | yup i just did that | 00:10 |
| mmikowski | The system tray icons should stay the same size, while the LH icons will scale | 00:10 |
| user|76 | the icons are very small width wise on the system tray thats prob. why they appear so small | 00:10 |
| user|76 | yup is sthere a way to change system tray icons? | 00:10 |
| mmikowski | Right click on the tray to configure. | 00:11 |
| mmikowski | You can play with icon size a bit with the first tab. | 00:11 |
| mmikowski | There may be other ways, but that's all I got for now :) | 00:12 |
| mmikowski | kk, gotta get back to compiling some stuff. | 00:12 |
| mmikowski | Best of luck to you. | 00:12 |
| user|76 | thanks | 00:12 |
| mmikowski | you're welcome! | 00:12 |
| user|76 | i have said before at least people here are nicer and help rapidly | 00:12 |
| user|76 | i came from linux mint which boasts how friendly and helpful their people are its the opposite they were rude and after a while they get frustrated if your problem isn't solved | 00:13 |
| user|76 | thanks again | 00:13 |
| mmikowski | You're welcome. I'm from kfocus.org. | 00:14 |
| mmikowski | So we have lots of experience helping people with their systems :) | 00:14 |
| mmikowski | btw, check out https://kfocus.org/wf - this has a searchable knowledge base specifically for Kubuntu. | 00:15 |
| user|76 | ok will do thanks again | 00:15 |
| mmikowski | Lots of helpful articles. Like, if you want to use GPU acceleration in Blender, we give advice on that and tons more. | 00:15 |
| mmikowski | kk, ttyl | 00:15 |

| TomyWork | I'm on kubuntu 18.04 (out of support, I know, but I'm working on getting a new machine and I'm going to wipe this one as soon as that is set up with 22.04) | 04:34 |
| TomyWork | I have a major problem: since the last update, the task bar is missing. the update didnt even have any KDE packages in it: https://gist.github.com/TomyLobo/40c96b5eb9fec913f6cc10b4f1635515 | 04:35 |
| arraybolt3 | TomyWork: Can you right-click on the desktop and see anything that looks like "Add Panel"? | 04:35 |
| arraybolt3 | I've never used Kubuntu 18.04 and don't know if that button existed back then but that's how newer versions worked. | 04:36 |
| TomyWork | nope, and it doesnt even have the background image | 04:36 |
| TomyWork | it's just black | 04:36 |
| arraybolt3 | Does Ctrl+Alt+T work to give you a terminal? | 04:37 |
| arraybolt3 | If so, try running "plasmashell" and see what happens. | 04:37 |
| TomyWork | I have a terminal | 04:37 |
| TomyWork | through krunner | 04:37 |
| arraybolt3 | Yeah, run "plasmashell" and see if your desktop appears. | 04:37 |
| TomyWork | nothing | 04:37 |
| arraybolt3 | If not, you might at least get an error message that way. | 04:37 |
| TomyWork | there is a plasmashell running though, since login | 04:38 |
| TomyWork | should I try killing that and then running plasmashell on the terminal? | 04:38 |
| arraybolt3 | I would. | 04:38 |
| TomyWork | oh that worked | 04:39 |
| TomyWork | weird, why isn't it coming up on boot? | 04:39 |
| TomyWork | on login* | 04:39 |
| arraybolt3 | No clue. I see something KDE-releated might have been updated though. | 04:39 |
| arraybolt3 | libkrb5 | 04:39 |
| TomyWork | krb is kerberos | 04:39 |
| arraybolt3 | But at any rate, I'd consider this a good indicator that it's Time to Upgrade(TM) :P | 04:39 |
| arraybolt3 | Ah. Started with a K, ended with a 5, so it confused me. | 04:40 |
| TomyWork | does plasmashell write any logs anywhere? | 04:40 |
| TomyWork | where does its stdout usually go to? | 04:40 |
| arraybolt3 | I don't know, sadly. | 04:40 |
| TomyWork | I'll just try and relogin, see if that shook things out | 04:41 |
| TomyWork | yep, now it works, weird. I tried relogin before and it didn't | 04:43 |
| arraybolt3 | Weird. Glad it's working though! | 04:43 |
| TomyWork | thanks for the handholding :D | 04:44 |
| arraybolt3 | (btw, 18.04 isn't just out of support in Kubuntu, but it goes out of standard support for all of Ubuntu in a bit more than a month, so it really is a good idea to update very soon before updates stop entirely. Just in case you didn't know already. Glad to be able to help!) | 04:44 |
| TomyWork | yeah I know | 04:45 |
| TomyWork | and there's always the archives, in case I miss the "last update" | 04:45 |
| TomyWork | but if all goes according to plan, I'll be done with 18.04 by the end of march anyway | 04:46 |

| TomyWork | arraybolt3, you know what I just found out: this machine has been running since friday morning. I must have hit the wrong button when shutting it down | 12:23 |
| TomyWork | that might have contributed to the issue | 12:23 |

| TMartins | hello! Does anyone knows if 5.27 is going to be on the backports ppa? | 13:15 |
| BluesKaj | Hi all | 13:41 |
| mparillo | TMartins: On the first page of results: curl https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports | grep 5.27 | 14:05 |
| ahoneybun[m] | <TMartins> "hello! Does anyone knows if 5.27..." <- Not for 22.04 LTS I believe as 5.26 broken upgrades to 22.10 from 22.04. | 14:07 |
| ahoneybun[m] | Hello BluesKaj | 14:07 |
| TMartins | thanks | 14:11 |
| TMartins | hm, it would appear the upgrade might be broken from 22.10 as well. I can't update plasma-workspace to 5.27 | 14:16 |
| BluesKaj | hi ahoneybun[m] | 14:17 |
| TMartins | ah, it's some weird conflict with lxqt! | 14:18 |
| ahoneybun[m] | I don't think it's in backports for 22.10 but not sure. | 14:28 |
| TMartins | no, it actually is, I just installed 5.27 on 22.10... I had to remove lxqt though | 14:33 |
| TMartins | I wasn't really using it anymore (I installed it for a lighter remote desktop experience), and oh boy, 5.26 on dual screens wasn't fun... :( | 14:34 |
| ahoneybun[m] | I don't think I've had an issue with dual monitors with Plasma or any desktop really. | 14:35 |
| BluesKaj | I'm testing Lunar 23.04 and the plasmashell version is 5.26.5... dunno if that qualifies as 5.27.. so trying to a dev version on a stable release seems iffy to me. | 14:35 |
| ahoneybun[m] | Even before 5.27. | 14:35 |
| TMartins | Yeah, well... NVidia user here... :( | 14:36 |
| TMartins | I can't really blame plasma for my troubles, but still... | 14:37 |
| ahoneybun[m] | 5.26.9 I think would be testing 5.27? | 14:48 |
| ahoneybun[m] | I'm either all Intel or Intel+AMD other then my HP which is Intel+NVIDIA with 4K lol | 14:48 |
| mparillo | I am all intel, except for my macbook pro with intel+AMD, and I have no real issues with multi-monitor with KDE and Wayland. Only minor annoyance is that it seems to me that windows open on random monitors and sometimes maximized, and other times not. I have trouble anticipating what will happen. But for me, that is only a very minor thing. | 15:02 |
| TMartins | yeah, I'm kinda stuck with NVidia because of my research on CUDA. I can't really say I recommend it. | 15:45 |
