[07:53] <user|59> Can I run Kubuntu 24.04 Desktop on this old hardware?
[07:53] <user|59> The system boots OK, but selecting a menu within Dolphin produces a pulldown window which flickers then disappears completely and leaves a small illegible image beside the (absent) pulldown.

[07:55] <user|59> A suggestion on stackexchange was to swap sdddm for kdm, plus an edit to /etc/environment (add a line with GSK_RENDERER=gl and then reboot)

[07:59] <user|59> "swap sddm for gdm3" (typo)
[08:00] <user|59> Hmm...runs, but looks weird...I'll try a fresh install of Kubuntu 22.04

[19:04] <Guest25> I'm having an issue with the monitor scaling. It's set to the monitor resolution of 1920x1080, but there is a black bar to the left side of the screen. (It is an Acer QG241YE plugged in via VGA)
[19:07] <oerheks> reset the monitor with its own menu, back to standards?
[19:08] <Guest25> Yeah, it's set to standard
[19:09] <oerheks> then i have no clue
[19:09] <Guest25> OL
[19:09] <Guest25> OK.
[19:09] <Guest25> Thanks anyway
[19:09] <oerheks> it maybe needs hdmi/dp
[19:11] <Guest25> Maybe so. Unfortunately the machine I have here is VGA and DVI only, and the monitor is VGA and HDMI.
