I've not looked to the logic behind hidpi scaling in a bit, but iirc unity-settings-daemon doesn't apply the factor to the session.
In GNOME g-s-d does it, but the unity case is more complex since we have different factors (gtk being an int, unity being a float, ...) so we let unity do the magic. Of course in the oem installer mode unity is not running so nothing is setting the xsettings that would make gtk do the hidpi transformations... @Shih-Yuan, your patch add support of the unity scaling to u-s-d, but is that really helping in the case where unity is not running? We should probably just make u-s-d apply the gtk factor if unity is not there, that should work right? -- 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/1382291 Title: Account creation during first boot of an OEM image needs to scale based on resolution Status in OEM Priority Project: Confirmed Status in OEM Priority Project trusty series: Confirmed Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in unity-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in ubiquity source package in Trusty: Confirmed Status in unity-settings-daemon source package in Trusty: Confirmed Bug description: [Impact] The ubiquity window size display in HiDPI screens is small. The new gSettings to scale GTK applications (and their corresponding settings in System Settings) work great, but this does not help for the account creation (first boot) for users buying a pre-install system. We would need changes in Ubiquity to: * Probe the monitor to get resolution information * Re-scale the ubiquity window using the corresponding gsetting (com.ubuntu.user-interface scale-factor) based on resolution We would need the changes to be backported to Trusty as well. [Test Case] 1. Install image on a system with HiDPI panel 2. Check the ubiquity window size displayed on screen Expected Result: The window size should be reasonable for user to read the content. Actual Result: The window size is small and user is hard to read the content.
