| Person | anyone on? | 03:57 |
|---|---|---|
| knome | ask your question and find out | 03:57 |
| Person | great | 03:57 |
| Person | I have kind of an unusual problem | 03:57 |
| Person | I set the screen resolution from the settings to a resolution not supported by my monitor | 03:58 |
| Person | and it's giving me a "resolution mismatch" error | 03:58 |
| knome | surprise :) | 03:58 |
| Person | I need to know how to set the screen resolution back without access to the screen | 03:58 |
| knome | xrandr is your friend | 03:58 |
| knome | 'xrandr -q' to get a list of the device names | 03:59 |
| knome | then i guess 'xrandr DEVICE --auto' should work | 03:59 |
| Person | a list is not helpful given I cannot see anything | 03:59 |
| knome | have you tried rebooting? | 03:59 |
| Person | yes | 03:59 |
| Person | I have | 03:59 |
| Person | still mismatched | 03:59 |
| knome | can you get to a TTY? (ctrl+alt+f1) | 03:59 |
| Person | I will try | 04:00 |
| Person | one sec | 04:00 |
| Person | awesome, the TTY is working | 04:01 |
| knome | yeah, so login with your credentials and work with the xrandr commands from there | 04:01 |
| knome | i'd imagine --auto should do what you want (get the optimum eg. best supported resolution) | 04:01 |
| Person | ok, I am going to try | 04:02 |
| Person | when I did xrandr -q it gave me "open display" | 04:03 |
| Person | However, it did not recognize that when I did xrandr DEVICE --auto | 04:03 |
| knome | DEVICE is a devicename | 04:03 |
| knome | on a laptop, it's often LVDS1 for the main screen | 04:03 |
| Person | ahhh | 04:04 |
| Person | I see | 04:04 |
| knome | but yeah, you might need to pass a screen name to xrandr .. | 04:04 |
| Person | On a desktop, how can I find what the device name is | 04:04 |
| knome | DVI or DVI-1 isn't a bad guess if you are using a DVI cable | 04:05 |
| knome | or HDMI1 for hdmi | 04:05 |
| Person | I'll try HDMI1 | 04:05 |
| Unit193 | Sometimes DISPLAY=:0 xrandr -q might work. | 04:05 |
| Person | I have tried what Unit193 said and it simply listed resolutions. It is not recognizing HDMI1, or HDMI | 04:07 |
| knome | Person, if it's listing resolutions, then see for which device name | 04:07 |
| knome | the device name is in the line that says "XXX connected ..." before the resolutions | 04:08 |
| knome | or i guess it might say disconnected in this case | 04:08 |
| Person | the screen seems to be cutting off anything before the resolutions | 04:08 |
| knome | xrandr -q | less | 04:09 |
| Person | uhh, I just tried that command and it just went to a black screen. I think I'm going to reboot | 04:11 |
| Person | does the | less command shift the screen? | 04:16 |
| Person | if so, does a | more command shift it in the opposite? | 04:17 |
| knome | they both work in a similar fashion | 04:18 |
| Person | | doesnt seem to be shifting my screen | 04:20 |
| Person | *| more | 04:21 |
| knome | you can also do "xrandr -q >output", which puts all of the output in the file named output | 04:21 |
| Person | ok | 04:22 |
| chuckmcm | knome 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 against | 05:48 |
| designbybeck | Xubuntu 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 eth | 16:50 |
| designbybeck | it doesn't even show up. This is an older Dell Inspirion 1721 AMD64 Athlonx2 | 16:50 |
| ran | hi. 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 |
| Sigolo | Hey | 20:37 |
| walkfar60 | Any idea what the message playback volume 0 is already present means on boot? | 23:03 |
