[00:17] <ubot5`> Ubuntu bug 1649736 in unity (Ubuntu) "unity picks poor hidpi scale factor defaults" [Undecided,New]
[14:05] <Trevinho> dmj_s76: mh, intresting, can you please try to debug to see what's the correct value? Unfortunately I've not such wide hardware to test, so... it's not easy for me
[14:05] <Trevinho> andyrock: too ^^^^
[14:07] <andyrock> rounding to integer makes sense to me
[15:02] <mterry> dandrader|afk, greyback: ok 2150 is landing, will be able to start 2160 for realz in a few seconds
[15:02] <greyback> mterry: nice work, thank you
[15:02] <mterry> mesa is still a problem, looks like someone just pushed u8 through anyway -- so it may hit your autopkg test runs
[15:19] <mterry> greyback: the branches in 2160 need updating
[15:19] <mterry> 2150 merged to trunk, should be fine to merge now
[15:19] <greyback> mterry: yep known, dandrader is on it
[15:19] <dandrader> mterry, qtmir there needs mir 0.25, but silo https://bileto.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/2180 still stuck
[15:19] <mterry> ah cool
[15:20] <dandrader> maybe I was too proactive :)
[15:28] <cimi> pstolowski, josharenson I created a silo 2302 for https://code.launchpad.net/~josharenson/unity-scopes-shell/fix-overview-results-sorting/+merge/313075 pawel, can you have a look at it too?
[15:33] <pstolowski> cimi, oh, nice finding from josharenson, thanks! yes, i will take a look, but probably tomorrow
[15:33] <josharenson> pstolowski: thanks
[17:31] <dmj_s76> Trevinho: andyrock: Rounding to integer makes the most sense to me as well.  There are some hardware vendors that pick displays that won't be ideal (3K panels on a 15" laptop being the most obviously bad.)
[17:42] <dmj_s76> However the pathological displays out there really have no good (feasible) solution: On a 3K display  2x scaling results in effectively 720p, which will be a little too big for most while 1x scaling will be a little too small.  1.5x scaling there will result in just-right size, but bad, hacky widget rendering.
[17:46] <dmj_s76> We should probably not even try to know what's right for those displays, since 1x vs 2x is a matter of preference between eagle-eyes who want more space and the bifocal crowd that wants bigger widgets, and non-integer scaling rendering issues *by default* would make Ubuntu look bad and unpolished.
[17:48] <dmj_s76> Trevinho: andyrock: Take 140dpi as our "ideal" like we're doing now, but round to the nearest whole integer.
[19:27] <andyrock> dmj_s76: oki i'll preper a branch tomorrow
[19:27] <andyrock> a good solution would be to round up just the gtk scaling to the clostest integer
[19:28] <andyrock> e.g. right now if the scaling is 1.75 the gtk scaling is 1
[19:28] <andyrock> 2 would make more sense
