X11 fractional scaling support is missing in mutter/gnome-shell 46.0

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I can report that the packages 46.0-1ubuntu8 works like a charm, many thanks! Downloaded the from here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter

I did however had to use --force-overwrite on mutter-common since there was a conflict with the file ./usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.mutter.gschema.xml that is also provided by magpie-common. This could also have been a side effect from my testing. What I can tell there's still that conflict.

Have discussed this with jbicha on matrix - magpie needs to revert the schema changes here to accommodate - and the release needs to be coordinated.

fossfreedom, probably magpie should use a different schema name though and *always* conflict with mutter, no?

[fossfreedom (fossfreedom)]

Marco,

  this is a temporary issue for 24.04 only. In 24.10 (hopefully) we
will drop this current version of magpie and X11 support- so there
shouldn't be any dependency links.

I'm dropping the block-proposed tag now that the second mutter upload has landed in -proposed and been seen by britney.

This fix is working. Checked on the updated version released on 23rd April 2024

[Harald Hannelius (harald-arcada)]

Thank You very much. Works.

[Kostya Vasilyev (kmansoft)]

Fractional scaling is available again after today's updates

However the ghost "Unknown Display" is still there

[Jeremy Bícha (jbicha)]

Kostya, please file separate bugs for separate issues. Comments on closed bugs can easily be missed.
