I am running Ubuntu 18.04.2 under VMWare Fusion on a macbook pro.
It just downloaded an update, and, after it rebooted, the display was no longer scaling and the scaling option had disappeared from the display settings.
I was able to set the scaling again using xrandr
, but I have to set it every time after a restart…
I tried following the directions here, but it is not working:

Does anyone know what happened to the scaling option in the GUI and how I can get it back?
Best Answer
You can try this command
Then restart your system.
I am also on mac but I am using Parallel Desktop. There is a scaling and more space option available in parallels graphics settings. After this command whenever I change to scale and then back to more space, I get 200% scaled desktop.
Although also in this you will have to do it every time you open ubuntu but no restarting is required.
You can also try this in VMWare Fusion
