I mainly run Cypress and Chrome through WSL2, whenever I try and make any of the windows that open full screen a part of them always displays on my second monitor.
Is there anything I can change in a config file or something to fix it?
I don't know if it's related but the cursor on the WSL2 GUI programs is huge. Is this something that can be fixed too?
I'm happily using x2go to connect to a remote Ubuntu Server 16.04 with XFCE installed from my local pc with a local resolution of 1920x1080 on a HiDPI screen (13''). If I run the x2go client from a virtualized Linux (Linux Mint 18.03 with XFCE), everything works well and I can see a really sharp image of the remote desktop. Problem is, when I try to connect directly from Windows 10 the image is blurred and the resolution is wrong. I tried to play around with the x2go client settings but no way, the image is always terrible. I also tried to use PyHoca and different X-servers but the result is the same.
Is it a well-known problem? Any suggestion on how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.
I had a very similar problem: A Dell laptop with an Nvidia graphics card, having a resolution of the built-in flat panel of 1280x800. I connected this to an external screen with HDMI with a resolution of 1920x1080. However, X2Go seemed to pick up the resolution of the built-in screen instead of the actual screen, making everything seem blurry (interpolating 1280x800 to 1920x1080).
This is what fixed it for me: Navigate to the C:\Program Files (x86)\X2GoClient\VcXSrv\ directory in Explorer. Select the vcxsrv.exe file and right-click it, choosing Properties from the popup menu. Go to the Compatibility tab, and in the Settings section there, select the option "Override high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by:" and then select "Application" in the combo-box below.
Restart the X2Go Client to have its X server start with this new setting.
This fix also solved X2Go Windows Client crashes in my setup.
I have basically the same scenario: connecting from a high DPI Windows laptop to KDE on Debian, in my case for Desktop Sharing. The client would connect okay, but display only a portion of the remote host's screen.
Keyboard shortcuts would not scroll the client window.
Any attempt to show more (maximize, go full screen, click-and-drag client window border) would seem to work for a second, then crash.
The Compatibility scaling change fixed the instability - no more crashes, yay! - but did lead to slow repaints as noted by Algeboy.
Upgrading to a newer version of VcXsrv also did not resolve the crashes - Compatibility change still required, but screen repaints are quicker.
To upgrade, download and install the latest VcXsrv in its own directory. Using Explorer or whathaveyou, apply the HiDPI setting to vcxsrv,exe.
Start x2go client but don't start a session. Click Options, Settings, then X.Org Server settings tab. Select "use custom x server". Point to the newly installed vcxsrv.exe and click okay. Restart the x2go client.
This apparently takes the version from 1.20.6.0 supplied by x2go to 1.20.14.0 (2022-04).
Screen refreshes are quicker if I minimize all applications on the host, allowing it to repaint the desktop, then restore whatever I want to work on.
OK, so I would like to install openSUSE 13.2 64bit with my USB (want to install it, not to use LiveCD - so i downloaded installation 4.7GB iso). I have used Universal USB Installer 1.9.5.7 to create installation media. Everything worked without problem. When I boot from it, first a openSUSE screen shows up with options Install, Upgrade, Something-I-Don't-Remember and Check installation media. If I choose Install, terminal shows and at the end it says that it is launching "openSUSE installation program". After that, a graphically stunning screen with header "linuxrc" (seems to be responsible for launching installer) shows up and asks me to insert installation media and then press Yes to continue. If I click yes, it shows again, if I click no, it shows me another screen with options Install, Check disk integrity, Reboot and so on... I choose install and it asks for source medium. Options are CD/Network/HDD. However, I want to install it from an USB.
So, my question is: What am I doing wrong? Because I got that feeling that after choosing Install in the first screen (that one with openSUSE background), something else should happen instead of showing up linuxrc. Like launching or whatever. Or should I use another app to "burn" my ISO on USB?
Ok i just managed to make it work.
I am using ISO downloaded today morning (5.November 2014 at 13:11) and ImageWriter ( http://www.mediafire.com/download/9haeauu9sq8xtkx/ImageWriter.exe ). And it seems to work. If you get error about writeToDisk, close the program and launch it as Administrator (i mean it, right click and select run as administrator, it asks you for admin password even if you launch it with doubleclick but it won't work). Then find your file (it shows only *.*raw files in open dialog so you will have to just start writing iso file name in Open bar), choose right device and it will do the hard work. If it finishes with "Sucess" message box, restart PC and boot from USB. Then select Installation.
For a project I was given a virtualbox image to work on. I don't have virtualbox but opened it in VMware and it works great except that in full screen the vm stays small and in the middle. I tried changing the autosize to stretch but it turns out obviously distorted and hard to work with. How do i get the fullscreen to work properly?
You probably lack VMWare Tools. You can install it with VM > Install VMware Tools.
I had to change the display resolution within the OS, though I thought it should have done that automatically
I've searched every place I could think of, but nobody seems to have had this issue or didn't bother asking about it.
I just installed Ubuntu 11.10 freshly with the gnome fallback shell. Everything works perfectly fine, except for one thing.
My WINE applications start on the wrong screen, this isn't really a big issue, but when I drag the window to my main screen, the mouse doesn't work on the application anymore. The app doesn't freeze, and is fully responsive to keyboard input, I just can't click on anything anymore.
My specs (relevant):
- NVidia Geforce 540M
- 1 laptop screen 1366x768
- 1 Samsung Syncmaster SA550 27" - 1920x1080
Thanks in advance!
Did you create the application on a resolution smaller then the current on your pc?
If so, do the following (I have a laptop with 1366x768 on the internal monitor and 1920x1080 on the external monitor):
Open winecfg
Check the Virtual Desktop checkbox and set the size to the largest resolution you are going to use
Start the app and check if it's working properly now (You can check that with the battlenet launcher :))
Start winecfg again and uncheck the Virtual Desktop box
