46 46  KDE Plasma offers a solution to this by under Display Configuration settings. Over there, you'll have an option of how to treat Legacy applications (X11). Under that setting, you have to manually choose "Scaled by the system". That will force the system to manually magnify the X11 applications automatically in the future.

57 +== Description ==
58 +When you open the Monero GUI, it keeps rescanning the full blockchain from scratch after every system reboot. There is clearly no persistence being stored on the drive, which indicates a permission problem. Moreover, when you go to Settings -> Info, you will see that the Wallet path is always under /run/user/... which is strange, since the wallet file is under my home directory. This needs fixing.
59 +
60 +== Solution ==
61 +I fixed this by rewriting the permissions for the flatpak of the Monero GUI app to explicitly have access to my directory path under my home directory. I did it as such:
62 +
63 +{{code language="bash"}}
64 +sudo flatpak override org.getmonero.Monero --filesystem=/home/alex/Monero/wallets/
65 +{{/code}}
66 +
67 +Under that path, I store both of my wallets: py P2Pool Monero wallet as well as my personal Monero wallet. Please note that you need sudo permissions to make this work.
68 +
69 +Good luck :)
