Hi,

Qubes installer is killing my eyes on a 4K display. I need to use a magnifying to see the microscopic fonts.

How can I change the resolution?

Good question. I feel the same discomfort with the default resolution.

There is $DISPLAY env variable for Anaconda but dunno what can be typed there. Check grub menu for install if it’s present.

Or in grub menu add inst.resolution=1920x1080

Could you please tell where exactly to type that? (on the vmlinuz line or somewhere else)

Edit grub menu entry that is for installation. Search for inst.stage2= and add at the beginning

QT_SCALE_FACTOR=2

and at the end

inst.resolution=1920x1080 video=1920x1080

It’s wild bet.

There is no such thing on any line. I tried the suggested inst.resolution but it did notihng. video affects only console.

It was from fedora net install so it was wild bet.
