I have disabled networkmanager on plasma-meta and wifi on powerdevil from what 
I recall, but nothing else.

Do you have this issue when you run jupyter from a virtual environment?

Not much help, but I have not had problems with jupyter for years, with

I isolate jupyter (actually jupyterlab) in an separate python 
environment. I do use pipenv to manage the python environment. It boils 
down to three commands:


$>  cd projectfolder
projectfolder $>  pipenv install
projectfolder $>  pipenv shell
projectfolder $>  pipenv install jupyter-lab

pipenv itself can be installed with emerge. pipenv resolves the 
dependencies within the virtual python environment.
This way of working with python solved most of my troubles with ~amd64 
python packages. python packages for system and for programming purposes 
stay separate this way.

For Qt apps you might want these environment variables in .xinitrc:

QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS=DVI-I-0=1.5;DVI-I-1=1.5;HDMI-0=1.5;DP-0=1.5;DP-1=1.5;DP-2=1.5;DP-3=1.5;DP-4=1.5;DP-5=1.5;

(These device names are the same as what xrandr shows.)

QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0

Currently I have an issue where opening Qt apps from certain contexts results 
in resetting the DPI scale to 2 instead of 1.5. Primarily this happens when 
Chrome launches a Qt-based viewer such as Kate, and sometimes it happens from 
Konsole. Have yet to file bugs.

No I don't have it. I thought the line

xrandr --dpi 192 &
or
xrandr --output eDP-1 --mode "3840x2160" --scale "0.75x0.75"

in ~/.xinitrc was sufficient to fix Firefox; it doesn't fix TB.

I just added
Xft.dpi: 192
to ~/.Xresources and not only TB works but LibreOffice works too.
Of course all of this defies the purpose of having an HiDPI laptop but
it is either that or no use at all.

Thank you Andrew.

I'm replying to this message using the same method of selecting only part of 
your message and evidently it works - I have left out the first paragraph of 
the original in my selection.

I have the same kmail version and profile like you.

Regarding the settings under General/Format, all are enabled except for 'Reply 
or forward using HTML if present'.  The word wrap is set at 78, not sure if 
this is the default and/or if it makes any difference.

[gentoo-user] [KDE] "Only quote selected text when replying" feature not working in Kmail

[Matt Connell (Gmail)]

Asking here since the kde-pim list suggested that this could be a 
Gentoo-specific problem I'm having.


In KDE KMail, when I enable the "only quote selected text when replying" 
feature under Configure -> Composer -> General, the reply behavior 
doesn't seem to change.  That is to say, if I try to select a line of 
text, and reply (as one would do with a mailing list, for example), the 
reply window quotes the entire message instead.  I've tried unchecking 
and rechecking the box, with an 'apply' after each change, to no avail.


Is this a bug?  How can I troubleshoot/fix this?

Kmail Version 5.13.3 (19.12.3) (according to the about panel) using the 
following profile: default/linux/amd64/17.1/desktop/plasma

Do you have an ~/.Xresources file? It can have something like:

Xft.dpi: 144

Which is also passed to Xorg for me: -dpi 144 (Plasma does this by
modifying SDDM service file(s) to systemd).

If I do ls -l /proc/ both of them are not root, 1 as gdm
and the other as me which got created after I logged in.  Try doing
that and see what you see.

Thanks Michael.
The CSS info is more detailed than what I had. Initially it did not
help but I noticed the cyan color appeared on the menu bar. Hence I
increased font sizes to 25 and 30 and it made a difference.
However various places still have the small fonts; e.g. dialog windows
for say, configuring an email account, etc. This will require some
fine tuning...

[gentoo-user] xorg-server without suid still runs as root?

[Nikos Chantziaras]

There's a news item about disabling the "suid" use flag on 
x11-base/xorg-server, which makes it runs as a normal user rather than 
root. Version 1.20.8-r1 of the ebuild disables "suid" by default. After 
updating to that and rebooting, X still runs as root though:


  $ ps aux | grep X
  root 270 1.7 0.6 226892 107052 tty1 Ssl+ 13:52 2:08 /usr/bin/X

  $ emerge --info xorg-server
  [...]
  x11-base/xorg-server-1.20.8-r1::gentoo was built with the following:

-libressl -minimal (-selinux) -static-libs -suid -unwind -wayland 
-xcsecurity -xephyr -xnest -xvfb" ABI_X86="(64)"


Am I missing something? I'm using systemd. If it matters, the "kms" use 
flag in x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers is enabled.

Hi Valmor, I'd think TB also uses CSS to modify the look of the GUI - but I 
don't have it installed on this PC to check its file structure.  This post 
suggests so:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1269224#answer-1282444

I also found this Addon which claims to do just what you're after, but I have 
not tried it out:

[gentoo-user] thunderbird small fonts on hidpi

[Valmor de Almeida]

Hello,
Does anyone know how to fix Thunderbird UI fonts on a HiDPI
Gentoo/OpenBox system with no desktop?
A similar problem exists with Firefox but it can be fixed using a CSS
file (userChrome.css). However I can't get Thunderbird to work using a
similar fix. The UI fonts are so small that the app is useless.
Thanks,

I will try that, if it works it will at least give me a chance to look
at the error messages.

I don't think I have any serial cables!

Thanks

Thanks for pointing that out, it was the easiest way to post!
