I see this too on a HiDPI display. I was able to workaround it by using Steffen's suggestion: $ sudo cp /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/notify-osd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/notify-osd.real
Then creating /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/notify-osd with: #!/bin/sh set -e export GDK_SCALE=1.0 exec /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/notify-osd.real Then: sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/notify-osd Test with: $ sudo killall notify-osd $ notify-send test Note: once you are using the above wrapper you will use 'sudo killall notify-osd.real' instead. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1374301 Title: osd notifications blurry To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/notify-osd/+bug/1374301/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
