[Bug 2054769] Re: Boot animation and login screen use different display scales

[Daniel van Vugt]

It looks like plymouth's threshold for scale 200% is 192 DPI. And gnome-
shell's threshold is 135 DPI. Since my laptop with the bug is 201 DPI it
should be scale 200% for both mutter and plymouth. I think there's a
simple math error in mutter though, leading to 100% being chosen instead
of 200%.

Title:
  Boot animation and login screen use different display scales

Status in mutter package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in plymouth package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  Boot animation and login screen use different display scales, on some
  (not many) machines.

  For example on a Microsoft Surface Laptop 4, Plymouth seems to use
  scale 2 for the boot screen while GNOME selects scale 1 for the login
  screen. This means the Ubuntu logo shrinks.

  I've tried a few laptops and so far it's only the Surface Laptop 4
  that has the problem: 13.5" 2256x1504, 201 PPI
