      Hello everyone.
      I found references to Libertine tweak tool around, but it's not in the store.
      How can I install it?

      Thanks for any help, regards.

      Have a nice day 😃

        @idj - the Libertine Tweak Tool is in the Open Store at https://open-store.io/app/libertine-tweak-tool.doniks -. but it is built for Xenial only, so you can not install it if your device is running Focal. Hopefully the app will be updated with Focal support sooner than later.

        Best regards,
        Steve Berson

              unfortunately I don't have a focal device ... I've made a build for it, but I have no way to test it myself. But if there is a brave soul who wants to try and give feedback, that would be awesome.

                @idj maybe rephrase the topic to reflect "on focal"

                    Thanks a lot guys, but I switched to Xenial and I'll stick with it.
                    Also, I'll not use LTT anymore, because it causes me issues.
                    The best thing I'll do, if it's possible and if I'll learn how, is to lower screen resolution to 1280x720

                        are you able to connect via adb? If so, can you extract the logfile for ltt for me? Like this:

                        adb pull /home/phablet/.cache/upstart/application-click-libertine-tweak-tool.doniks_libertine-tweak-tool_1.4.0.log

                          @doniks ADB isn't working on my 20.04 install but there is no logfile in upstart anyway.

                          Tried to reinstall the app but no change, Openstore says that it is version 1.4.0.

                            uh yeah, makes sense I guess. I think upstart is gone in focal. Probably there are app logs somewhere ... but I don't know where :man_shrugging:

                            wouldn't have to be adb either. ssh, or if you find it with the filemanager or terminal that's fine also, but well, I'm kinda talking blindly here, sorry.

                            Tried to reinstall the app but no change, Openstore says that it is version 1.4.0.

                            so, I haven't updated the version number, so if you take it from gitlab it will always show up as 1.4.0

                              maybe even better can you try to find the log with Logviewer app from the openstore? (might need to scroll a lot to find it someone told me)

                                  @grumpyoldbloke awesome!

                                  mhm, it seems that the xdpi value in container "focal" has been changed to 203. but you say

                                  it doesn't have any effect on my focal container.

                                  how do you check whether it has an effect?

                                  can you do the following:

                                  • close LTT
                                  • open xterm from your focal container
                                  • take a photo (not a screenshot, please use another camera if you can)
                                  • close xterm
                                  • open LTT and change the value to the lowest possible value and close LTT
                                  • reopen xterm and take another photo

                                  and then share the photos here

                                    @doniks I have been running Aisleriot in my container, in 16.04 changing xdpi changed the toolbar size but in 20.04 it does not.

                                    Xterm behaves correctly, if I change the xdpi the font becomes bigger or smaller as expected but I don't actually use xterm very often so I will try with another app when I have time, hopefully later today.

                                      @grumpyoldbloke ah ok. yeah you are right xterm is kinda pointless on UT, it was just a simple test. well. good news we know that version of LTT does something, bad news it seems setting xdpi doesn't help aisleriot in 20.04 ...

                                      I could start speculating about gnome/gtk apps and mir/wayland, maybe it is now "better" integrated and not falling back to X anymore, but then it would need some other trick to scale up. If you want to dig deeper I can maybe look up some suggestions, but it will be some painstaiking trial and error and editing obscure config files and no promises

                                        @doniks Just tried another couple of apps: Firefox worked correctly but Kpatience didn't..

                                        I would be quite interested in helping to solve this problem, happy enough to poke at things with a little bit of guidance.

                                          @doniks - thank you so much for this! In my tests on Volla Phone running Focal it works 🙂
                                          The only issue I saw is that the default container id shown by it on launch is "xenial" - please change this so it defaults to "focal" so users do not have to enter this for each new install.

                                          Beat regards,
