For what its' worth, xrandr is broken if you have xcinerama enabled, at least with the Nvidia drivers. -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Eskimo North Linux Friendly Internet Access, Shell Accounts, and Hosting.

This works with X2Go, NX protocol with Remmina, and pretty much everything else I've tried. It surely does, because it is the same as the command: gsettings set org.mate.font-rendering dpi XX Using GUI is great for a once-set-do-not-touch-anymore action, but when you need to change the DPI often... Anyway, the aim is to use DPI settings as per x2go client setup. It seems that in MATE, once the user sets hiw own value, the DPI from xorg.conf is ignored (which sounds logical but does not fit the bill for our use). xrandr --dpi XX in the running x2go session also does not have any effect.

Simon Baev píše v Čt 21. 05. 2015 v 14:22 -0400: I saw this setting but for some reason it didn't affect anything when I changed it to 96. Could it be caused by the fact that ongoing (not logged out) session was active on the server (physical console) while I was trying to remotely connect to it via X2Go? The only way I found to connect to that server with reasonable DPI was to create a separate user that runs default settings, but that doesn't seem to be a good fix. I switched recently from KDE 4 to MATE (Arch Linux) and can see the same behaviour with MATE: x2goserver/nxagent ignores the dpi settings set in x2goclient. I had not had time to investigate this further and for now worked around that by placing two launchers on my desktop and running them manually in the current session: For local sessions: gsettings set org.mate.font-rendering dpi 107 For x2go sessions: gsettings set org.mate.font-rendering dpi 96 It works on the fly, only some apps (skype) need to be closed and restarted. I believe one could use .config/autostart/ and some script with tests of the environment to set the proper DPI during log-in phase. This would resolve the issue with uncleanly terminated sessions. Perhaps it may not work for published apps. I hope to look at the issue later (well, just a cheap promise...)

Re: [X2Go-User] x2goserver on Ubuntu Mate 15.04 with 4k monitor and high font-rendering DPI
I wasn't looking to start a shadow session to access existing session. I just needed to use some software that was installed on that machine so fresh session worked fine. I will try the extensions approach for testing and will stick with a separate user scenario for main needs in future. Thank you. -- Simon On Thu, May 21, 2015 at 3:23 PM, Mihai Moldovan io...@ionic.de wrote: On 21.05.2015 08:22 PM, Simon Baev wrote: I saw this setting but for some reason it didn't affect anything when I changed it to 96.

What exactly are you doing, anyway? It seems like you are starting a shadow session, i.e., connect to the already running local X server on the server machine? The DPI setting in X2Go Client controls the private X server's - i.e., nxagent's - DPI value. There's a caveat though, in the sense that desktop environments can and most likely will overwrite that. The only way I found to connect to that server with reasonable DPI was to create a separate user that runs default settings, but that doesn't seem to be a good fix. X2Go provides support for hooks via its extensions support. I guess it's not properly documented anywhere yet, but the basic idea is to put scripts into /usr/lib/x2go/extensions/. The targets in there are sort-of self-explanatory. N.B.: the amount of targets available may differ between release and nightly versions. All this said, I think a separate user is the cleanest and best-working idea. Mihai -- Simon ___ x2go-user mailing list x2go-user@lists.x2go.org http://lists.x2go.org/listinfo/x2go-user
