I am not familiar with that, as this is the first time I am encountering this problem of fedora on a 1920x1200 screen. 1. Default fonts are just too small. 2. Icons of running apps on the bottom panel of Mate DT are incredibly small and undiscernible. 3. On the first gui login creen, if click on the tiny icon of power switch, the drop down menu is so tiny, I have to use 2.0 power reading glasses to see where the Shutdown, or Restart selections are. If you are using X, and an analog monitor, you can put a configuration file in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d. A search on the web will give you the format. Use xrandr to get the numbers to plug in. This is a laptop, so no, it is not an old analog display :) I don't know how to do this for wayland. But I think the better thing for you to do is to up the size of fonts that everything uses, if possible. Text will look a lot better. I have done that, but I thought it is a rather kludgey thing to do, because there does not seem to be a system-wide setting that is used by all components of system and apps.

I am not sure what you mean by aps, but I'll assume you are talking about an icon or menu item. I can't tell you how to correct this, but it sounds like an intermittent bug. When this happens at boot, and when it doesn't, run journalctl -b, and cut the part of the boot that is concerned with mounting filesystems and paste it into a text file. Then, do a diff on the two files to see what is different in them. That should point to what is happening, and allow you to open a bugzilla against the proper component to get this fixed. The types of things you are talking about are usually mounted based on the information in /etc/fstab. But that doesn't match with Windows being in the list. Is this before linux starts, the menu of what system to start? ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org

Blueman / Frank Elsner / Jon Ingason .
Hi , The "solution" in avoiding all kinds of authorisation for bluethoot applications can be "solved" by removing blueman or not doing so but disable in the startup applications list the blueman applet. Both "solutions" are not very elegant , but it functionates . Best is of course to disable the blueman applet : But this is not the solution of the problem ! Thanks for help.
