$Failed in the mathematica interface

Recently, I bought an Asus Zephyrus G14 and I install Manjaro on it (the gnome version). I made a fresh install of Manjaro and I follow this reddit guide.

Anyways the problem is Mathematica interface. Here what happens when I run Mathematica.

Interface $Failed everywhere Interface $Failed everywhere

Blur suggestions Blur suggestions

$Failed Again $Failed Again

Solution

  • I had the same problem. Apparently is a problem with Mathematica compatibility with High DPI screens.

    You have to open the "Option Inspector.." menu: Option Inspector Image

    And search for "ScreenResolutionCompatibilityMode" (without quotations), change the value for "True". By the way, first you need to change the option environment to "Global Preferences", see picture. Then apply changes and restart Mathematica for sure.

    Finally, the $Failed disappear. However the Blur problem keep existing. For that I recommend you to search for Magnification configuration in Mathematica or fonts size based on resolution also for Mathematica. I will try a solution using QT_SCALE environment variable but I did't test it yet. Sucesses for you
