Android Studio start view resolution problem in Ubuntu - android-studio

I am using Ubuntu 20.04 on an FHD monitor with 1920x1080 resolution but I am getting this type of Android Studio start view. It's not properly adjusting the content within the screen.
If I try to resize the view, I get this.

You should access System Settings -> Display. There you'll see a Resolution drop-down menu. Just click on it and check the resolution you desire, like 1600x900. Then, just click Apply and you should see the changes.

I was having the same issue with my Android-Studio on my Ubuntu 20.04.
I was able to fix it by changing the dpi settings in ~/.Xresources file from 180 to 96.
Xft.dpi: 96
Xft.antialias: true
Xft.hinting: true
Xft.rgba: rgb
Xft.autohint: true
Xft.hintstyle: hintfull
Xft.lcdfilter: lcdfilter
Make sure to reboot your machine after the changes.

Godot IDE debug display resolution change

Please excuse the highly noob question. Within the Godot IDE project settings, how do I decrease the size/resolution of the debug screen within the IDE without changing my project layout size? My computer has a 1920 x 1080 resolution, the mobile resolution I am targeting is 720 x 1280. This causes the bottom of the screen to appear out of sight when running a test. Thanks for any help!
First, go to project settings and enter the display>window>size>width and height.

The font of my modelsim is too small to see

As you can see, the font of modelsim's text editor is very small. But I can't change the size in Tools->Edit Preferences->Source Window->Fonts.
However, I can make the letters bigger by set the DPI higher(through System Settings->Fonts) or set the resolution of the screen to a appropriate value, such as 1024X720, while 1366x768 is the actual resolution of my screen. These ways are not comfortable, because everything else look strange.My OS is Fedora 22, and the version of my Modelsim is 10.3d.
I want to get a more comfortable way to the font-size problem of Modelsim, I'll appreciate it!
I ran into this too in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with modelsim 10.5 ASE. I fixed it as follows:
Open ~/.modelsim (use "nano ~/.modelsim" in terminal)
Find: PrefDefault = ... textFontV2 {Verdana 12} (the name of the font may differ)
Change 12 to -12, so it will looks like this: textFontV2 {Verdana -12}
Save ~/.modelsim (Ctrl+O and then Enter)
Reopen modelsim
I ran into this too in Xubuntu, just use Ctrl++ or Ctrl+- to enlarge or shrink the text dynamically.
Tools->Edit preferences->source windows-> textFont
I am using CentOS Linux, Questa Sim-64 10.1a and had the same problem. I fixed it as follows :
Select "Tools" option from the toolbar at the top.
From the drop down menu select "Edit Preferences ..."
On the lower left pane, there are various Font types like fixedFont, footerFont, textFont etc. To change the size of textFont, select it and you get the choice of font type and size.
Choose what you are most comfortable with.
menuFont is used for command prompt and treeFont is used to display the folder structure.
On Xubuntu/XFCE4: Going to Settings⟶Appereance⟶Fonts and disabling the "Custom DPI setting" checkbox solved the problem for me.
The strange thing is that xdpyinfo says the screen resolution is 96x96 dpi regardless of the checkbox. Leaving the checkbox on and setting something like 200 dpi scales the Modelsim editor font, but also all other fonts on the screen, so that doesn't help. I didn't dig any further towards the root cause.

White little screen on the top left corner when I'm installing ubuntu

I want to install Ubuntu 14 next to Windows 8.1. I have BIOS and fat32 file system on my flash drive where is an ubuntu installation wizard. But after I enter "install Ubuntu" it just shows white square(approximately a quarter of the screen) on the top-left of the screen.
What do I need to do?
Thanks everybody for help!
If I guess right, you should not see the desktop? You can turn off the installation window, adjust the desktop resolution is set inside. After entering the installation program from the menu on it.

Matlab linux GUI glitches

I've been having this problem with the Matlab GUI (linux) that has been annoying me for over a year but I still haven't found a solution.
Basically, the autofix hints are not displayed. When I move the mouse cursor over a potential warning/suggestion, a gray-background pop-up appears but the text inside is missing. The same happens when I hover over those little warning bars on the right hand side of the editor. Does anyone have any clue what might be causing this?

This happens only on my linux machine (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, NVidia GeForce with nvidia driver).
Thanks!
For those interested, this issue appears to be related to the Unity Desktop. Mathworks does not provide a fix but suggests using a different XServer instead. Here is the answer I received from support:
This issue is known to occur due to a windowing system used with
"linux" on which MATLAB has not been tested. It has been observed that
if you are using "Unity desktop" in "linux", then the tooltips are
displayed as blanks.
To work around this issue, you may try switching off "Unity desktop".
You can refer to the following links for more information on this
issue:
http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/116987-empty-tooltips-in-code-analyzer
matlab code analyzer produces empty tooltips
Indeed, I tried lubuntu and XUbuntu (Xfce) and the tooltips in Matlab were working in both cases. I find Unity very handy because I got used to it, so for now, I will probably simply not use this Matlab feature. Hopefully this will be fixed eventually.
It's an old post but some people may be still looking for a solution or a hack. Well, I also had this issue on R2015a when using two monitors and hiding Ubuntu 14.04 sidebar seems to do the trick. This link explains how to do it: http://www.howtogeek.com/198218/how-to-easily-hide-the-unity-launcher-in-ubuntu-14.04/. Hope it helps!
This is accomplished, in the article, by:-
1) Select “System Settings” from the drop-down menu.
2) The “System Settings” dialog box displays. In the “Personal”
section, click “Appearance.”
3) On the “Appearance” screen, click the “Behavior” tab.
4) On the right side of the “Behavior” tab, there’s an ON/OFF switch.
Click the switch so it reads ON.
5) The ON/OFF switch also turns orange. Additional options for how to
show the hidden Unity Launcher become available in the “Auto-hide the
Launcher” section of the “Behavior” tab. Under “Reveal location,”
select whether you want to move the mouse to any location on the “Left
side” or just to the “Top left corner” of the screen to reveal the
Unity Launcher. Use the “Reveal sensitivity” slider to change the
sensitivity of the reveal location.
6) Once you have chosen your settings, close the “Settings” dialog box
by clicking the “X” button in the upper-left corner of the dialog box.
This happens to me in Ubuntu 15.10 using xfce, with two monitors connected to an Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT, one of which is rotated to portrait orientation. The "workaround", from the page Anton linked, is to resize my matlab desktop such that the red underlined text or red scrollbar annotation is in the bottom third of my left monitor. Unbelievable.
My preferred workaround is to use Python+Scipy+Matplotlib instead of Matlab.

Virtual buttons not appearing on emulated Android 4.2 system

I have created an Android 4.2 AVD. For the need of my current project, the main screen orientation is landscape. The software keys option is selected.
The mode is set to xhdpi, like a Galaxy Nexus phone.
As I start the emulator, I see a black stripe on the right where the buttons should appear, but it remains black. Thus, there is no way to trigger a Back action since the emulated physical keys are disabled.
The problem can be fixed by configuring the emulator in portrait mode then rotate it once started; the buttons appear as expected. This causes problems since the window is automatically scaled down to fit on my monitor; I did not find any shortcut to restore 1:1 scaling at runtime, after the rotation is done. This is important since I would like to see pixel-perfect results.
I am using SDK version 21 and platform-tools version 16.0.2, as updated yesterday.
Found the solution myself... this is a workaround that allows getting 1:1 scale and the software buttons working.
Leave the AVD (Galaxy Nexus or cloned from it) on portrait mode.
Run the emulator from the command line, using the -scale 1 option; this is the magic that forces 1:1 pixel perfect ratio even if the window does not fit in screen at startup. By default, automatic downsizing happens to fit the monitor.
Rotate the display using Ctrl+F11 or Ctrl+F12 to get landscape mode.
