GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 788483
Nvidia gnome control center scale setting gets overridden on reboot
Last modified: 2021-07-05 13:50:57 UTC
Created attachment 360874 [details] screenshot of where I go to keep setting the scale Operating System: Ubuntu 17.10 Beta 2 How to reproduce: When I set the scale to 200% on Ubuntu 17.10 Beta 2 it sets it correctly for my session. If I reboot then the scale is reset back to 100% but the value on the control center "displays" section shows "200%". I don't think this happens till I install the Nvidia driver by performing: ubuntu-drivers devices sudo apt-get install nvidia-xxx Work Around: To work around it I save the scale to 100% then save it back to 200%. After rebooting I have to do this every time. Logs, settings, screenshots, more details, etc: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1720838
Thanks for reporting this. Which mutter version is this about? Setting the "Version" field is welcome.
Hi Andre, Thanks for asking.

GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
