Resolution in Ubuntu 13.04 (Retina Display)

I try to use VMware Fusion 5.0.3 in a MacBook Pro with the retina (15 inches). The idea is to run Ubuntu Linux 13.04 in a virtual machine, but I have problems with the resolution of the screen.

When I use the default settings, the highest available inside Ubuntu resolution is 2560 x 1600. Using this resolution, everything seems small, but the picture is not very clear. It seems that the OS tried to simulate a high resolution on a low resolution screen (which is not the case). Using the resolution 1680 x 1050, the size of the text and images is fine, but things are not as sharp as they could be.

My second attempt was to go to the VM > settings > display > use full resolution for the Retina display. In this case, the highest resolution available in Ubuntu is 3360 x 2100, which is higher than the true resolution of my screen (2880 x 1800 - that is not an option). With the help of high resolutions like this makes the very strong image, but everything seems too small. It is really hard to use. Using a resolution as 1920 x 1200 seems to be a good compromise. The image is fine and the size of the text and images is OK. However, as soon as I restart Ubuntu, the resolution is defined as the highest one available (3360 x 2100). Does anyone else have this problem?

I also tried to use the highest resolution available (3360 x 2100) and configure Ubuntu so that the size of the text, images, and applications is not too small. However, I have not managed to configure everything properly. Most applications (like Firefox) appear smaller things as they should. No idea how to Setup Ubuntu in a display resolution properly high?

Anyone could set up Ubuntu 13.04 in a Retina display?

Thank you very much!

HI tiagobt,

[...] However, as soon as I restart Ubuntu, the resolution is defined as the highest one available (3360 x 2100). Does anyone else have this problem?

I just tried and noted this as well. 13.04 Ubuntu, I put the 1920 x 1200 resolution, suspend the virtual machine, take back the virtual machine, it changes the resolution of 2880 x 1800. (mine caps there, which is what it should do).  I'll tell the engineers.

Using this resolution, everything seems small, but the picture is not very clear. It seems that the OS tried to simulate a high resolution on a low resolution screen (which is not the case). Using the resolution 1680 x 1050, the size of the text and images is fine, but things are not as sharp as they could be.

It's actually not the case.  You got an image of low density pixel on a screen high pixel density.  When it is small, it is rendered pixels at 1:1 (or near) ratio.  There are actually of 2880 x 1800 physical pixels on the screen of the Mac.  Linux does not have the ability to be more 'dense' as how Apple has tweaked OS X for this view.  Same reason that Windows search chunky to 'normal' the resolution and tiny at 1:1.

I also tried to use the highest resolution available (3360 x 2100) and configure Ubuntu so that the size of the text, images, and applications is not too small. However, I have not managed to configure everything properly. Most applications (like Firefox) appear smaller things as they should. No idea how to Setup Ubuntu in a display resolution properly high?

Ubuntu is not designed for a high display resolution, so what you're doing to cram in it will be met with compromise.  If they had a way to specify the density of the rendering of the GUI, you can affect the resolution of 2880 x 1800 and Ubuntu would make the size / proportioned like 1440 x 900, but be super crispy.

  • Problems with the retina display resolution

    Hello

    I have a macbook pro (2015) with a retina display 15 "that I can't seem to adjust to the correct resolution. The native resolution, as I understand it, is supposed to be 2880 x 1800. I can't see my resolution when I put its "default value to display" in system preferences, but if I change it to "scaling", it is said that the default resolution "looks like 1440 x 900". Even when I go to the maximum the space option, it doesn't give me that 'looks at 1920 x 1200.

    When I up resolutions for the screens of the retina, it looks like the scale at 1440 x 900 option is supposed not to be available for the 13 "display.

    The native resolution is not supposed to be available in the options when the scale is selected. What you need is respectful of the eye from the App Store, which will increase the resolution above the option 'More space' completely in the native resolution.

  • Allow high-resolution Retina display

    Version 11.0.0 downloaded compared to the creative clouds on iMac screen 5 K Retina (Yosemite). Acrobat Pro opens in low resolution - all the text.images appears blurry/bitmap/low resolution.

    Watching the news of requests: 'Open in a low resolution' is checked and grayed out, so it cannot be changed.

    I saw a few hacks to solve this problem, we have you should go in the happy / info.plist and add<key>NSHighResolutionCapable</key>
    <string>True</string> just before </dict>

    I'm not want to do, more sounds like it will be glitchy.

    Please the next update would allow high-resolution Retina display. Thank you.

    Thank you Adobe, a day later, you release 11.0.09 that solved this problem.

  • Blurry images on the Retina display

    Dear all,

    I have two iMac 27', one of 2010 and a whole new one retina.

    The topic is:

    Editing some pictures on photoshop for my site on the retina of display but the photos seem a little obscure, as a low resolution...
    Edit the photos exactly the same on my old iMac and the perfect look of photos!

    Same size, same resolution, same photoshop.

    To be sure, I saved the two photos for the web on iMacs and then open them with the application overview on both screens.

    Even, perfect on old screen and a little little point clear or blurry on the retina.

    Someone knows why?

    This happens only on photos, texts and stuffs are supa clear on the Retina display, but I noticed that most of the websites I visit display pictures unclear!

    So I guess that the problem is not the way that I save my photos or computer that I use.

    looking forward to read from you guys.

    Jules.

    On the regular iMac, an image that is 400 pixels may appear as about 3 inches long on this screen. However, on your iMac to the retina, that image would be on a 1.5 inch. This is because the iMac has double the resolution, but the same retina display size. Which makes things look great. The downside is, it can also make things look small. To avoid this, the iMac of retina automatically stretches everything so a 400 pixel image on the regular iMac seems the same size on the Retina display. If you set a picture on, you know it can become blurred.  The solution to optimize your images for the Retina of your iMac display is to use higher resolution images. If you take a picture only twice as large that it must be on a traditional screen and squish it down for display on your Web site, it will look sharp for normal users. Then, when he's nervous for someone on an iMac of retina, you're going to be displayed at its original size - and it will always look perfect. There are ways to check the zoom level of the web browser and provide different versions of images on this basis. HTML5 offers tools to help with this. Another solution is to use vector graphics to SVG.

  • CS4 on macbook pro retina display

    Hello, I just downloaded (purchased about 2009) CS4 on macbook pro (2015) with the retina display.  Perhaps because CS4 is old, when I ope PDF using acrobat pro that came with CS4, PDF content looks blurry (the same PDF document opened by a snippet that came with macbook pro shows very strong police force).  Do you know what I can do about it?

    Also, do you know if I can improve more current CS4 CS5 or CS6?  How to upgrade my CS4 is?

    Thank you

    CS4 is old enough that I don't think that there is nothing you can do to improve the display

    CS5 is no longer marketed, and CS6 no longer upgrade pricing

    In fact, as much as I know, same-CS6 won't do well on a modern screen 'high resolution '.

  • MacBook Pro retina display bug?

    I don't know how to submit a bug report, so I post the problem here. Can't move the mouse outside the window of computer virtual and the movement of the mouse is extremely slow and erratic when you enable the full resolution for the retina display and set the size of text and other items to 200% in the control panel to Windows 7. Everything works as it should with 150% but as soon as you change to 200% (which is a must work on a MacBook Pro with the retina display) the problem starts immediately. I have a MacBook Pro with the retina with Mac OS X 10.8.1 and Fusion 5.0.1 and Windows 7 with SP1. Everyone has noticed this annoying problem?

    Turn off the power of the shadow of cursor. On 192DPI, shadow strength slider the slider made software, that really seems to shake the ease curve smile fusion.

    For some cursors generally less crappy, please take a look at:

  • 100% 72 dpi Photoshop is too small on Mac Retina Display

    I see a lot of discussions about this.

    Well, the other day, I actually had a tech from Adobe on the line and after a lot of crying and gnashing of teeth, he admits, "it's a matter of Photoshop.

    Apparently they are working on it, simply not enough fast. It's a shame because it seriously affects our ability to work effectively in Photoshop as you do not get accurate Visual calibration for most.

    We can only hope... Come on Adobe, fix it!

    The image isn't 'too small' - your screen has more pixels, pixels so small, so a better resolution. That's the whole point of a Retina display!

    100% means that this pixel of an image is represented by a pixel screen. 1: 1. Now consider what it means.

    User interface scaling, however, is another question. But this does not affect the display of images.

  • Images for the retina display remain unclear

    I just published my first site in muse, and I used a bunch of miniatures made from the buttons of photoshop. For the desktop version, they are all 300 x 169. For the mobile version, I made all the 600 x 338 and then transformed their 300 x 169 in Muse. I did this thinking that it would be enough resolution for screens of the retina, but when I display on my iPhone 6, they seem unclear. When I have the same files by e-mail to myself, then open them on my iPhone, they are clear, but not on my published page. What I've done wrong?

    You need to activate the HiDPI for your site in the Site properties, or Muse will optimize your images up to 'normal' resolution

  • Solution for the issues with Acrobat 11.0.04 Retina display

    Hello

    It seems to be a problem for some users experience upgrades to Acrobat 11.0.04 on Mac Book Pro that support Retina display.

    In some cases, Acrobat always runs in low definition and the 'Open in low resolution' option is checked and disabled (cannot be changed).

    A cause we have identified is a preferences file that is not updated in some cases and prevents the system from let Acrobat running in view of the retina.

    To remedy this, you can try this:

    1. Uninstall Acrobat 11
    2. Delete Library/Preferences/com.adobe.PDFAdminSettings.plist
    3. Reinstall Acrobat 11
    4. Help/update allows you to upgrade to 11.0.4

    One of the known workflow is updated from an earlier version of Acrobat that had been installed before an upgrade the system or an older version of Acrobat for example 9 is not supported on Mac OS 10.8.

    Please share your experience here and let us know if that does not solve your problem. We will contact you if need be case-by-case basis, to ensure that you have Acrobat running in high definition.

    Thank you

    Good to hear, enjoy our HIDPI features in Acrobat 11.0.4.

  • Announcement Apple re: Retina display

    By the announcement of second (instant) Apple Development Center (https://developer.apple.com/news/), all new applications and updates must be "built for iOS with Retina display devices." What it means for DPS-product apps? Should produce us all our assets in 1024 x 768 @ 240 DPI or 2048 x 1536 @ 72 dpi, or simply continue to do what it was we were doing in the first place?

    If you are producing an iPad app, you probably want to specify assets at high resolution to all your application icons and splash screens. You can do this today in the App Builder, and most of the publishers are already doing.

    If you are producing an iPhone application, you will need to include a splash screen for iPhone devices 5. This support will be added in App Builder Version 26, which will be released before Apple starting to implement this new policy.

    We now believe content is affected by this policy change.
