I was getting some inconsistent and confusing results on my tests, so I decided to start from scratch with a fresh VM (qemu) and also a fresh Workspace (AWS).
In a freshly installed Jammy VM (on qemu, not AWS), out of the box we have factional scaling disabled, so I tried changing scale to 200% and I do hit the error (but the scale DOES change): https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/yVwnmqbTTJ/ When I try to revert, I hit the error again and gnome freezes: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/nYpqJDmr5x/ I then upgraded the packages in the PPA: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:vanvugt/mutter sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade Rebooted the VM When I still hit the error both when trying to change the scale to 200% (still does change it, though): https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/V7MmKCjc4W/ And also when trying to revert it (gnome freezes): https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/dbWZFQGr9t/ Package versions: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/c4WsgPVnxr/ Also did the same tests with a fresh Workspace: Tested the very same thing in a Workspace: Out of the box fractional scaling is disabled, so I tried changing scale to 200% and I hit the error (but it does change): https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/gSZ5rfm7vF/ When I try to revert, I hit the error and then it causes the problem reported in https://launchpad.net/bugs/1924689: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/NHY62YvxCG/ (So both Workspaces and local VM hit the same problem, but when reverting Workspaces will hit LP#1924689 and the local VM will freeze gnome) I then rebooted the Workspace without upgrading any package and tried the same steps again, and I still have the same problem. I then upgraded the packages in the PPA: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:vanvugt/mutter sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade Rebooted the Workspace, and I still hit the error both when trying to change the scale to 200% (still does change it, though): https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/977wzx6sxW/ And when I try to revert: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/D2VZv2J7QV/ Packages: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/mDKy4wWyWZ/ So, unless I'm missing something, apparently the same problem happens with fractional scaling disabled and also with the packages from the PPA. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2020782 Title: Xdcv: Changing display scale setting and reverting it fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/2020782/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
