The resolution of my PC is 3200x1800 but I have enabled 2x scaling on my Windows and Linux machines.

When I connect using Workspace app from my Windows machine then the resolution of my remote PC is appropriately set to 1600 x 900. But when I connect from my Ubuntu machine then the resolution of remote PC stays at 3200x1800 and as a result I see very small text.

What do I need to do to ensure that my remote PC is scaled properly?

I am running the latest packages "Citrix Workspace app for Linux (x86_64)", downloaded from: https://www.citrix.com/downloads/workspace-app/linux/workspace-app-for-linux-latest.html

  • I believe there is no direct solution to this problem with the linux citrix client. The only workaround I found was to install Citrix in a Virtual Box virtual machine and then use the autoscaling option of virtual box. – jomuller May 19 '21 at 08:04
  • The question [was ask here too "Change DPI setting for Citrix Receiver"](https://askubuntu.com/questions/808141/change-dpi-setting-for-citrix-receiver) and lead to the same kind of workaround I suggested: VirtualBox or using VNC (but I didn't try the later). A bug report should be send to Citrix in this subject. – jomuller May 21 '21 at 05:34

The best solution I have found is to use Google Chrome and install the Citrix Workspace Chrome App. DPI scaling is much better.

Had a similar issue. Turns out the problem comes from fractional scaling setting in "Display Settings". So simply turning off "Fractional Scaling" fixed the issue for me

Instructions on how to enable/disable "Fractional Scaling" can be found here
