With Ubuntu switching to GNOME, looks like Unity folks don't care about this anymore.
This and the fractional scaling issue were the only 2 issues that kept me from using anything higher than 16.10 until now, and I've decided to take the matter into my own hands. I've bisected the recent commit logs and found 2 possible faulty commits. Reverting those fixed the fractional scaling issue, and I'm pretty sure it fixes the reset bug. (The commit almost directly tells itself.) I'm still using 16.10 and tested those new Unity builds within a VM, so I can't test whether it fixes the reset bug myself. I'm preparing those PPAs to get ready for 18.04 LTS. (As I prefer Unity over GNOME.) https://launchpad.net/~arter97/+archive/ubuntu/unity I've added build for Xenial(16.04) as well. Please test it and let me know how it goes! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unity-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1689356 Title: UI scale being reset to 1 everytime when display sleeps for a while Status in compiz package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in unity package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in unity-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After upgrading to Ubuntu 17.04, the HiDPI setting(Scale for menu and title bars) is being reset to 1 everytime when display sleeps for a while, making everything looks small. If the display sleeps and I resume it instantly, it's fine, but if the display slept for long, the HiDPI setting gets reset to 1. My guess is that if a display is plugged in(detected), the old DPI setting is not restored. This issue is not present on previous Ubuntu versions and the same issue persists even after a fresh install. *---------------------------------* This bug is now present also in 16.04 since a recent update, experiencing this in Xenial since 23 Feb 2018 at least. We could trace the cause of the bug in the recent backports/bugfix updates to Xenial. *---------------------------------* ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.04 Package: xorg 1:7.7+16ubuntu3 Uname: Linux 4.10.14-zen+ x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_modeset nvidia .proc.driver.nvidia.gpus.0000.01.00.0: Error: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0000:01:00.0' .proc.driver.nvidia.registry: Binary: "" .proc.driver.nvidia.version: NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 375.66 Mon May 1 15:29:16 PDT 2017 GCC version: gcc version 6.3.0 20170406 (Ubuntu 6.3.0-12ubuntu2) .proc.driver.nvidia.warnings.fbdev: Your system is not currently configured to drive a VGA console on the primary VGA device.
