[08:19] <user|62> hello, my laptop will stop working once i installed kubuntu. irq/179-iwlwifi:default_queue in htop shows 1 cpu core at 100% while the rest are all not being used for anything. My computer will freeze and become unusable. what can i do?
[08:22] <user|62> sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi  sudo modprobe iwlwifi
[08:23] <user|62> that will momentarily fix the issue, but once i reboot it comes back
[12:03] <user|17> Hello, I have a high resolution display on my laptop. How can I increase the width of the scroll bar, and how can I increase the size of the icons <- and -> etc on my browser and on the task bar?
[12:09] <diogenes_Vx15> user|17, try adding to /etc/environment the following line: PLASMA_USE_QT_SCALING=1
[12:09] <diogenes_Vx15> and reboot.
[12:15] <user|17> I inserted into /etc/environment the line as suggested , but no change. Should I increase the "1" in PLASMA_USE_QT_SCALING=1 to a bigger number to see the effect ?
[12:28] <diogenes_Vx15> user|17, no, this is what you should do:
[12:28] <diogenes_Vx15> System Settings > Display and Monitor > Display Configuration > Global Scale.
[12:28] <diogenes_Vx15> Drag the slider to the desired size.
[12:28] <diogenes_Vx15> Restart for the settings to take effect.
[12:29] <diogenes_Vx15> adding 1 to PLASMA_USE_QT_SCALING=1 just enables this option, 1 = enable, 0 = disable.
[12:57] <user|17> ad1m yes, it helps for the taskbar, thanks. But the icons on the Firefox browser are still the same. There is probably some separate scaling for firefox, but I did not find it yet.
[12:59] <user|17> diogenes_Vx15 yes, it helps for the taskbar, thanks. But the icons on Firefox are still very small. Apparently there is some other way of rescaling these icons on Firefox, but I did not yet find it
[13:00] <diogenes_Vx15> user|17, have a look at the last post in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/6oyuem/change_icon_size_in_settings/
[13:04] <diogenes_Vx15> user|17, also for firefox specifically take a look a this post: https://support.mozilla.org/mk/questions/1378420
