Monero GUI Beta 2 Window Covering Entire Screen (Linux, Arch x64)

Question

When running the Beta 2 release of GUI on Arch Linux x64 the window is too big and it covers my entire screen! What can I do to fix this?

Answer 1

It's already fixed in the code and you could re-build the GUI with that fix. Next release shouldn't have this problem.

In the meantime, and if you want to avoid re-building, you can edit the start-gui.sh script which came with the package and add the line export QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0. Then, open the GUI by running ./start-gui.sh from the console.

After modification, the start-gui.sh file should look like this:

#!/bin/bash
export QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`/libs
export QT_PLUGIN_PATH=`pwd`/plugins
export QML2_IMPORT_PATH=`pwd`/qml
./monero-wallet-gui
