I have established an ssh connection from Win10 to RedHat machine via MobaXTerm. I have also enabled X11 forwarding, but when I launch eclipse or gedit or anything else the application window looks blurry, i.e. not really crystal sharp as it would look be it run natively. Below is how it looks like when forwarded from a linux machine. Any clue how to make it look more sharp?
right click mobaxterm executable or shortcut
go to compatibility tab
go to high dpi settings
check the box override dpi table
leave dropdown to application
apply
restart mobaxterm
launch the app
I found a similar issue when working with VcXsrv and the solution for that one worked for me in MobaXTerm as well.
I'm going to guess that your screen is a high DPI one as it seems like that's where most people seem to have this issue.
Try going to the MobaXTerm executable, right-click it and go to properties.
Inside properties, click on the Compatibility tab and then mark the check to disable display scaling on high DPI.
I had the same problem with blurry Mobaxterm windows on Win10. Try to change scale and layout of the monitor in Windows to 100% like in
this image, and it worked for me.
I have 125% display scale and the same issue. In MobaXTerm (21.4) I've changed the following setting to make applications look sharper:
MobaXTerm / Settings / X11 / DPI: auto

I have XQuartz 1.20.11 (xorg-server 1.20.11) on an M1 MacBook Pro (installed via MacPorts) and am trying to display IntelliJ running on a Linux box via ssh/X11.
The IntelliJ windows appear with oddly rendered text that's unreadable—the white background turns black, and there are white outlines around the black text. If I click outside of an X11 window and start typing, then the IntelliJ window looks normal. But as soon as I touch the trackpad, IntelliJ becomes unreadable.
I tried taking a screen shot, but it comes out looking normal even though the window is nearly unreadable. So I've attached photo of the screen.
X11 windows from other applications display fine.
As mentioned in an XQuartz thread, setting
export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dsun.java2d.xrender=false' clears up the text but results in extremely slow display.
Anyone have suggestions for troubleshooting or a solution?
There is a ticket for this issue in IDEA tracker, please upvote it and follow for updates.
Do the latest recommendations from the thread that you mentioned help?
If not, then please try switching IDE boot JDK to e.g. OpenJDK 17 and inform if the issue persists after that.
I am trying to understand why Mac terminal font is not sharp.
Mac terminal most of the time shows up like this:
Rarely it shows up like this:
Much sharper. I want to make it so it is always like the second image here, the sharper version.
What could be causing the fond to be not as sharp like shown in the first image?
I am running macOS 12.0 Monterey.
And this is my General and Profiles tabs:
That's the Antialias text option in Terminal's Preference->Profiles. My guess is that you sometimes switch between the predefined Basic profile, which has the option enabled, and the Homebrew profile, which has it disabled.
In the Preferences General tab, you can setup the Terminal to use a non-default profile on startup. If you do so, but at the same time have new windows open with the default profile, you get a different profile for every Terminal window but the first, which may be why you see these differences.
I installed ROS under windows, following the instructions here: https://janbernloehr.de/2017/06/10/ros-windows. However on running Ubuntu under windows and launching a GUI based linux application like rviz, the font size is too small to read.
The applications are launched using Xming. Though it would seem that the Linux application is launched on windows, the truth is that they are being launched under xWindows, on windows. So changing the DPI of Xming will fix the font size in the application you launch.
To change the dpi of Xming, do the following:
Find the location of Xming. Do this by searching Xming in the windows search box. Right click on the Xming result and select "Open File location"
At the file location, right click on Xming and select properties. In the window that pops up, edit the contents of shortcut -> target to add in the dpi option. In my case the contents of target looked like this: "C:\Program Files\Xming\Xming.exe" :0 -clipboard -multiwindow -nolisten inet6 -dpi 180
Restart Xming - to do this find it on the system tray on the bottom right of the screen. Restart Xming and try and start the offending application again. The font sizes will be larger
I have a Windows 10 64-bit PC (fresh install, not an upgrade).
When I run the setup file (web or offline alike) in order to install Visual Studio (2013 or 2015, Community edition), all I get is a small black rectangle on the screen (which I later found out that this is actually the title of the setup popup window), without the actual window of the installation.
I have tried it also after a reboot, and with various "versions" of the installation files (web, iso, standalone), but it's always the same situation.
What can I do about it? VS is my main development tool and I really need it on this computer as soon as possible.
Similar problem here. Program install ok but display blank screen after launched.
Problem solved when I changed my Nvidia graphics's global 3D setting to integrated graphics.
Right click desktop
Select Nvidia Control Panel
Select Manage 3D Settings
Under preferred graphics processor, select integrated graphics.
Apply.
If you are using a laptop with an external monitor, try unplugging it and using your primary monitor to launch. This worked for me. Laptops often have dual graphics cards and I believe we're hitting some issue with the way the Installer for VS was written (likely WPF)
Once I launced it and started the installation, I could safely plug my monitor in and it kept working properly.
I'm using an AMD GPU, It was a blank white screen but when I hover the mouse over it, I can see the text events
By the way
I went to my AMD Radeon Settings and saw that vs_installershell.exe and vs_setup_bootstrapper.exe were added automatically to the Switchable Graphics list
they were with Not Assigned Option which usually is like High Performace Option
means It would run it with my ATI GPU.
So I clicked on them
Selected Power Saving Option (to work with my Intel GPU)
Which worked and I can see the window of visual studio installer back
after restarting visual studio installer for sure.
whether is your graphics card, just turn on power saving for it.
Had the same issue. Since this topic is not accept any answare, there is one from https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/150888/visual-studio-installer-shows-blank-screen.html
Try to open installer as Admin.
You will probably have blank screen. Do not close it!
Open installer once more.
Hope it help other people with same issue.
the same thing happened to me, i didn't do anything i just waited for it and it started showing it's status, i suggest you close other running programs to avoid conflicts and performance hindering, and try it again.
This seems like a very shoddy issue. I've run into this problem too, and I tested all solutions that I came across online. These all work:
Running the installer as administrator, which is a blank screen. Leave it open and run a second instance of the installer, which will not be blank (doesn't need to be run as administrator the second time.
Changing screen settings so that the laptop screen is not being used.
Downloading the AMD Settings application, and setting vs_installershell.exe to run on powersaving mode. Restart the installer after saving the settings.
Use a default graphics driver instead of the AMD one.
I had the the same problem in my laptop. The temporary solution is: start the installer only without the battery, if installer starts you can connect the cable, it works fine.
I had to run integrated graphics rather than my Nvdia. That solved it for me.
Remember to change it back when programming in OpenGL and DirectX otherwise you may get a list of messages staying that nothing works.
I had the the same problem in my laptop. The work around is, in device management, remove the amd graphics or start the installer only with battery.
I've used Hummingbird Exceed as my Xserver on my windows box for years. I've almost always worked out of xterms, but at times the number of open windows can get a bit out of control and hard to manage. Wondering if there is a terminal emulator that runs on WinXP that supports tabbed windows, similar to Konsole on KDE.
Have you looked at Poderosa ? From the web page
Tabbed style GUI
It is convenient to open multiple connections at the same time.
Moreover, you can split the window
into panes and allocate each
connection. Many different ways to
connect| In addition to Telnet and
SSH1/2, local cygwin shell and serial
ports are supported.
PuTTyCM (PuTTy Connection Manager)
Too bad, its website is down right now, but the hard link still works http://puttycm.free.fr/download/puttycm.exe
Does KDE on Cygwin help?
You could also have a look at Super Putty.
It is similar to PuttyCM with a tabbed layout, but I have found it easier to use for saving and restoring sessions and layouts. Details can be found here
Edit:
My tool of choice for tabbed SSH on Windows now is MobaXterm.
I have used both PuttyCM and SuperPutty before. MobaXterm gives you a lot more options including saving credentials, XWindows support out of the box, ability to reconnect sessions, a sftp browser to copy files and many other useful features.
