My power went out last night and I got in a login loop and that's when the screen zoom started. After a lot of searching and trying a lot of things, I found this
and tried making a new user with sudo adduser test and sudo systemctl reboot I was able to log into it and it was also zoomed in. I turned off zoom with ctrl + windows/super + 8 and that didn't work. I also checked to see if zoom was disabled and it is. After that, I went back to tty and tried this from the link above and was able to log into my real account, but ~/.nvidia-setting-rc and ~/.nv were not found:
mv ~/.config ~/.config.old
mv ~/.local ~/.local.old
mv ~/.cache ~/.cache.old
mv ~/.nvidia-settings-rc ~/.nvidia-settings-rc.old
mv ~/.nv ~/.nv.old
sudo systemctl reboot
and:
sudo apt install --reinstall gdm3 pop-desktop gnome-shell
sudo systemctl reboot
When I logged back in, I got a welcome window from Ubuntu as if I just newly installed it, my toolbar on the side was back to default settings and the screen was still zoomed in, but I still have all my files and software from before. As far as I can tell, this zoom problem is the only issue I'm having right now. Everything else seems to work fine, I'm logged into it right now.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
