Hi, I installed Pd-0.48-0test6 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS using makefile.

But I'm facing 2 problems.

Firstly, I see no audio input/output device to select.
I installed libasound2 and jackd2 but I see no audio driver in the list.

Secondly, the Pd's Interface is way to small so it is really difficult to work with the current size. (compared to other apps' UI size)

I tried changing "Scale for menu and title bars" option in System Settings -> Displays. but it had no effect on Pd window whereas all other apps scaled accordingly.
I wonder if there's any way to make the Pd's interface larger on Ubuntu.

Thank you in advance!

Problem #1 - did you run the full string of commands in the INSTALL.txt file before the make i.e. ./autogen.sh and ./configure --enable-jack? What was the result? (if you didn't, make sure to run make clean before you try again).

Problem #2 - There are probably a few sizing problems with anything post U14.04 (they are working on this) but one thing you could try as a workaround is to to go to Edit -> Font and try cranking up the font size. The drawback there is that it will mess up spacing on any patch that wasn't made with the same font-scaling

@NoDSP Reinstalling pd after "make clean" fixed the problem #1 and reducing the screen resolution fixed the problem #2.
Thank you so much for your help!
