Problem
Q. I enabled Magnifier on login screen , then it didn’t worked correctly and covered right half of my screen !
Now I cannot login and cannot disable magnifier and if I restart my computer Tthe magnifier will start again. Here is How I solved it.
1. Open terminal type
[sourcecode language=”bash”]$ sudo nano gnome-mag.desktop
[/sourcecode]
Give your administrator password, when asked.
2. Then search for the line
[sourcecode language=”bash”]StartupNotify=true[/sourcecode]
and change to
[sourcecode language=”bash”]StartupNotify=false[/sourcecode]
3. Save the file by hitting Ctrl+O followed with single Enter.
4. To Exit Hit Ctrl+X
This will reset the magnifier disabled, no removal of software required. And next time if you want magnifier be enabled, just enable it from the accessibility options.
Just to make sure it’s really working, try restarting.
I’ve done the same and cannot access anything. I put my password in after boot and screen is magnified. Which don’t allow me to do anything. I have tried the aforementioned but only from drop to root shell prompt with no luck. What more can i do?
Open file `gnome-mag.desktop` then change `StartupNotify=true` to `StartupNotify=false`. Save the file and restart the computer. It should disable the magnifier.
