Hi lpugoy,
I am using Fedora 24 which comes with Gnome 3.20 Desktop environment.
Thanks!
No I haven’t used any tool it’s all the defaults that come with the environment.
@cvasilak: Do you mean that your display was scaled automatically? I didn’t encounter that in my test.
Hi lpugoy,
that’s correct, haven’t made any changes to any settings, my assumption is that HiDPI settings are honored in Gnome shell, but can be wrong.
Let me know if you have any suggestions. Thank you
@cvasilak: I see. Please try running the following commands:
gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor
gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor
gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings Gdk/WindowScalingFactor
Hi @lpugoy
after playing with the HiDPI instructions as suggested in the Arch Wiki[1], somehow it got fixed and the application window is currently displaying correctly.
Thank you for your help!
I am having this issue to. New System 76 laptop with Ubuntu 18.04. The app window is so small it is unusable, regardless of the display settings I use.
Running gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor 2
fixed it.
App is again too small to be used on my laptop with a high resolution screen. Issue has return with latest update (v1.5.2). Previous gesettings trick no longer works.
I’m having the same issue. My laptop resolution is 3200x1800. Can’t use the utility at all!
Hey guys! If you’re having issues with HiDPI scaling, please check this out: https://help.insynchq.com/installation-on-windows-linux-and-macos/getting-started-with-insync/linux-enabling-hidpi-setting
Thank you!
Setting QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1 before insync start didn’t help.
Also tried setting QT_SCALE_FACTOR, but nothing seems to affect the size of the app window.
See the image to understand the problem.
I’m having this problem with version 1.5.2-2. I’m on a HiDPI Dell XPS 9260. I run Arch using Cinnamon. The Insync window is the only part of my UI that has this problem, so a system-wide tweak is not applicable.
The instructions in that article don’t really mention how to apply the environment variable and make it stick.
A simple way is to directly edit the /usr/bin/insync
script.
It should look like this:
#!/bin/bash
cd /usr/lib/insync
LC_TIME=C exec ./insync "$@"
You can insert the environment variable before the exec
command.
LC_TIME=C QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1 exec ./insync "$@"
