[00:00] i want to make the ones on the left smaller [00:00] Please send a link to a screen shot so I can understand. [00:01] can we upload direct screenshots? [00:02] you should be able to upload to imgr or similar [00:02] then share the link [00:07] https://imgur.com/a/Ul7sZ7S [00:07] ahh close enough it put in as 7620 oh well [00:07] user|76: ok, it is clear now [00:07] the RH side is the system tray. [00:08] ok what about the left side? [00:08] That resizes differently as discussed above - it will add rows or columns to accommodate the widgets [00:09] The LH side are the normal icons. [00:09] So if you narrow the bar, you will reduce the size of those icons. [00:09] oh i see its more about the size of the height of that bar [00:10] So just RMB click on the task bar, enter edit mode, then reduce the bar height. [00:10] yup i just did that [00:10] The system tray icons should stay the same size, while the LH icons will scale [00:10] the icons are very small width wise on the system tray thats prob. why they appear so small [00:10] yup is sthere a way to change system tray icons? [00:11] Right click on the tray to configure. [00:11] You can play with icon size a bit with the first tab. [00:12] There may be other ways, but that's all I got for now :) [00:12] kk, gotta get back to compiling some stuff. [00:12] Best of luck to you. [00:12] thanks [00:12] you're welcome! [00:12] i have said before at least people here are nicer and help rapidly [00:13] 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] thanks again [00:14] You're welcome. I'm from kfocus.org. [00:14] So we have lots of experience helping people with their systems :) [00:15] btw, check out https://kfocus.org/wf - this has a searchable knowledge base specifically for Kubuntu. [00:15] ok will do thanks again [00:15] Lots of helpful articles. Like, if you want to use GPU acceleration in Blender, we give advice on that and tons more. [00:15] kk, ttyl === jcea1 is now known as jcea === jcea1 is now known as jcea [04:34] 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) [04:35] 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] TomyWork: Can you right-click on the desktop and see anything that looks like "Add Panel"? [04:36] 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] nope, and it doesnt even have the background image [04:36] it's just black [04:37] Does Ctrl+Alt+T work to give you a terminal? [04:37] If so, try running "plasmashell" and see what happens. [04:37] I have a terminal [04:37] through krunner [04:37] Yeah, run "plasmashell" and see if your desktop appears. [04:37] nothing [04:37] If not, you might at least get an error message that way. [04:38] there is a plasmashell running though, since login [04:38] should I try killing that and then running plasmashell on the terminal? [04:38] I would. [04:39] oh that worked [04:39] weird, why isn't it coming up on boot? [04:39] on login* [04:39] No clue. I see something KDE-releated might have been updated though. [04:39] libkrb5 [04:39] krb is kerberos [04:39] But at any rate, I'd consider this a good indicator that it's Time to Upgrade(TM) :P [04:40] Ah. Started with a K, ended with a 5, so it confused me. [04:40] does plasmashell write any logs anywhere? [04:40] where does its stdout usually go to? [04:40] I don't know, sadly. [04:41] I'll just try and relogin, see if that shook things out [04:43] yep, now it works, weird. I tried relogin before and it didn't [04:43] Weird. Glad it's working though! [04:44] thanks for the handholding :D [04:44] (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!) [04:45] yeah I know [04:45] and there's always the archives, in case I miss the "last update" [04:46] but if all goes according to plan, I'll be done with 18.04 by the end of march anyway === jj5_ is now known as jj5 === jj5 is now known as Guest2704 [12:23] 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] that might have contributed to the issue === hal is now known as Slaine === Slaine is now known as Slaine21 [13:15] hello! Does anyone knows if 5.27 is going to be on the backports ppa? [13:41] Hi all [14:05] TMartins: On the first page of results: curl https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports | grep 5.27 [14:07] "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] Hello BluesKaj [14:11] thanks [14:16] hm, it would appear the upgrade might be broken from 22.10 as well. I can't update plasma-workspace to 5.27 [14:17] hi ahoneybun[m] [14:18] ah, it's some weird conflict with lxqt! [14:28] I don't think it's in backports for 22.10 but not sure. [14:33] no, it actually is, I just installed 5.27 on 22.10... I had to remove lxqt though [14:34] 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... :( [14:35] I don't think I've had an issue with dual monitors with Plasma or any desktop really. [14:35] 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] Even before 5.27. [14:36] Yeah, well... NVidia user here... :( [14:37] I can't really blame plasma for my troubles, but still... [14:48] 5.26.9 I think would be testing 5.27? [14:48] I'm either all Intel or Intel+AMD other then my HP which is Intel+NVIDIA with 4K lol [15:02] 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. [15:45] yeah, I'm kinda stuck with NVidia because of my research on CUDA. I can't really say I recommend it. === tomreyn_ is now known as tomreyn === jeroen_ is now known as jeronimo [17:50] Is it just me or kubuntu 22.04 LTS isn't getting any updates recently [18:15] We just pushed out 22.04.2 so there are updates.
