Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Release: 18.04 Codename: bionic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1685035 Title: GDM login doesn't scale on Hi-DPI display Status in GNOME Settings Daemon: Fix Released Status in Ubuntu GNOME: Triaged Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gnome-settings-daemon source package in Zesty: Fix Released Bug description: Impact ------ GDM's login screen was being start with no gnome-settings-daemons plugins. In particular, this broke Hi-DPI support in the login screen Test Case --------- - Install the update on a computer running Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 with a Hi-DPI display (ideally one that worked well with Ubuntu GNOME 16.10). - Restart your computer. - The login screen should automatically show at the right scale. Regression Potential -------------------- See the other 3.24.2 bugs but this commit is a simple typo fix. Original Bug Report ------------------- Ubuntu gnome 17.04, gnome 3.24. On high resolution display, 3200x1800, login screen is too tiny to read. GDM login screen doesn't reflect changes to org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor or text-scaling-factor. Eg: xhost +SI:localuser:gdm sudo su gdm -s /bin/bash gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor 2 gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor 2.0 no effect. Creating a gdm user under /etc/dconf and running dconf update has no effect either. Scaling-factor seems to scale the mouse cursor, but nothing else.
