Personanyone on?03:57
knomeask your question and find out03:57
Persongreat03:57
PersonI have kind of an unusual problem03:57
PersonI set the screen resolution from the settings to a resolution not supported by my monitor03:58
Personand it's giving me a "resolution mismatch" error03:58
knomesurprise :)03:58
PersonI need to know how to set the screen resolution back without access to the screen03:58
knomexrandr is your friend03:58
knome'xrandr -q' to get a list of the device names03:59
knomethen i guess 'xrandr DEVICE --auto' should work03:59
Persona list is not helpful given I cannot see anything03:59
knomehave you tried rebooting?03:59
Personyes03:59
PersonI have03:59
Personstill mismatched03:59
knomecan you get to a TTY? (ctrl+alt+f1)03:59
PersonI will try04:00
Personone sec04:00
Personawesome, the TTY is working04:01
knomeyeah, so login with your credentials and work with the xrandr commands from there04:01
knomei'd imagine --auto should do what you want (get the optimum eg. best supported resolution)04:01
Personok, I am going to try04:02
Personwhen I did xrandr -q it gave me "open display"04:03
PersonHowever, it did not recognize that when I did xrandr DEVICE --auto04:03
knomeDEVICE is a devicename04:03
knomeon a laptop, it's often LVDS1 for the main screen04:03
Personahhh04:04
PersonI see04:04
knomebut yeah, you might need to pass a screen name to xrandr ..04:04
PersonOn a desktop, how can I find what the device name is04:04
knomeDVI or DVI-1 isn't a bad guess if you are using a DVI cable04:05
knomeor HDMI1 for hdmi04:05
PersonI'll try HDMI104:05
Unit193Sometimes  DISPLAY=:0 xrandr -q  might work.04:05
PersonI have tried what Unit193 said and it simply listed resolutions. It is not recognizing HDMI1, or HDMI04:07
knomePerson, if it's listing resolutions, then see for which device name04:07
knomethe device name is in the line that says "XXX connected ..." before the resolutions04:08
knomeor i guess it might say disconnected in this case04:08
Personthe screen seems to be cutting off anything before the resolutions04:08
knomexrandr -q | less04:09
Personuhh, I just tried that command and it just went to a black screen. I think I'm going to reboot04:11
Persondoes the | less command shift the screen?04:16
Personif so, does a | more command shift it in the opposite?04:17
knomethey both work in a similar fashion04:18
Person| doesnt seem to be shifting my screen04:20
Person*| more04:21
knomeyou can also do "xrandr -q >output", which puts all of the output in the file named output04:21
Personok04:22
chuckmcmknome do you know if anyone has tested Display port 1.2 chained screens? It kinda works on my NUC (second screen isn't stable) but I don't have a known good system to verify against05:48
designbybeckXubuntu 16.04 works fine on a LiveUSB, and I can get on the internet via eth port. but after install, which seems to go just fine, I can't ge on eth16:50
designbybeckit doesn't even show up. This is an older Dell Inspirion 1721 AMD64 Athlonx216:50
ranhi. in xubuntu 16.04 there is a problem with japanese letters. on many programs and the title bar they are "pushed down" a little, when they needs to be on center. (sorry about my english).20:00
