If it had one, I would. I can't find anything related to it and I |
13 |
clicked on some things just in case it got renamed. If it's there, I |
14 |
can't find it here. Maybe something else needs installing or |
15 |
something. I did figure out to add the activity thingy. That sort of |

helps. |

Well, here, it does. I've got that at least a dozen times so far. It |
26 |
doesn't seem to be as often as it was but at first, it was every time I |
27 |
clicked on the panel thingy. It got to the point, I logged out and back |
28 |
in again. It seems to be getting better. |

I missed the decimal point. It was 1.1 not 11. Allergies and new |
46 |
glasses isn't helping with all this. I did figure out how to make the |
47 |
fonts bigger. That helps. ;-) |

I noticed. I found a video but even that doesn't match what I have now |
58 |
so I guess some things were changed since the video was made. I think |
59 |
it was several months old. |

I did find with google that it is supposed to restore but some things |
76 |
don't work. That seems to match what we got. Maybe later on they will |
77 |
get it sorted. |

In a way, I like it. I just need to figure out how to set it up so that |
80 |
I can work with it. Other than a glitch or two, it's not to bad. The |
81 |
biggest thing, I forgot and updated Firefox and they took tab grouping |
82 |
away. I wasn't ready for that. I wanted to get settled in KDE5 first |
83 |
then do that. The old Firefox was took out of the tree. Bummer. |
