execute AppImage file from terminal with -D option

• Apr 10, 2020 - 23:12

Hi everyone,

I'm not able to run the appImage file from terminal. I need to run it with the -D option. I searched for some guidance but did not manage to find anything that really helped me.

Once opened the terminal:
1. cd to the directory (in my case Downloads)
2. the file can already be executed as program (already changed this option through GUI)
3. do not know how to actually tell the terminal to start the AppImage with the option I need (-D)

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Shoichi,

thanks for your reply. yes, that's where I started, I guess the problem was the terminal, after restarting I was able to execute the command...
using a DPI of 35 I obtained the results in the image attached. most of the icons seems fine. Unfortunately the bar with the new, save ecc commands is still too high. And the Palette column is too big (as you can see from the 3 dots, it's not about resizing the column's width).

any suggestion?

I'm using Mint 19.3 Cinnamon.

Can the issue be related to the desktop environment? if that's the case, which desktop environment would be recommended?

thanks!

My situation:
OS: Linux Mint 19.3, Arch.: i386, MuseScore version (32-bit): 3.2.3+dfsg1-4~ppa1804+1 (Ubuntu bionic/i386).
Monitor: HP 20" 1680x1050 (16:10) - image scaling automatic
I didn't have to change anything. But I don't know if this will help you.

I forgot, sometimes someone unplugged the monitor and reconnected while the system was active.

35 is extremely low, is your monitor really that old? Maybe from the 1960's? Otherwise, you shoudln't normally be wanting a value that low, that is why everything is so tall. What is the actual DPI of your monitor? Like, if check the display settings in your OS to find the number of vertical dots (eg, 1600 if the resolution 1600x1200 or whatever) and divide by the physical height in inches (as measured by a ruler; the size listed on the box is the diagonal)? That is normally what you should specify. End result should be the score is exactly life size when viewed at 100%. Then, if the menu text is too small, you can use your OS settings or Edit / Preferences within MuseScore to adjust font and icon sizes further. Make sure, BTW, you are on a current version, in the past things didn't really scale as well as they do now (current is 3.4.2).
