[02:05] <dragon_> has anyone monitor settings problems lately?
[02:07] <dragon_> I have a black band about a centimeter or so on top of the screen and the blue wallpaper with a jellyfish is sort of not stretch all the way out
[02:08] <dragon_> I have tried all the settings for monitor, and the one fitting best is 1280x800
[02:09] <dragon_> I am in lubuntu 22.04,  not yet upgraded for the october edition
[02:10] <dragon_> the cursor moves all the way across the blacked out ban on top above the wallpaper
[02:12] <cartdrige> Try different resolution, try to put a flat color background instead of a wallpaper to see if it does the same, select another wallpaper and check the setting to fit-to-screen then later to zoom-to-fit see if it changes, if it's a display bug, try a live distribution of another OS/distrib to see.
[02:17] <dragon_> I have tried all the resolutions under config center
[02:18] <dragon_> and it is fit the screen, or rather, stretch to screen works best, still the line on top
[02:18] <cartdrige> It may be a hardware/driver bug then.
[02:18] <cartdrige> i'd try another USB ubuntu or Windows.
[02:19] <dragon_> has LXQT had updates lately?
[02:21] <dragon_> thanks for the tip, I shall have to fix a usb of another distro
[02:27] <dragon_> is the resolution in lubuntu very simplified?
[02:31] <guiverc> dragon_, I'm not aware of any updates for 22.04; though you can use a later LXQt by adding lubuntu backports PPA. 
[02:31] <dragon_> I shall try and updgrade to 22.10
[02:32] <dragon_> Upgrade manager will only do the regular upgrades, not distro
[02:42] <dragon_> the bootup screen is just fine ?
[02:45] <dragon_> should  I just go for ubuntu?
[02:46] <dragon_> I mostly chose lubuntu for the simple and easy desktop environment
[02:47] <dragon_> I don`t get the 22.10 update suggestion, and I have tagged off for normal releases, not just longterm?
[02:48] <dragon_> can this still be launched in terminal?
[02:49] <dragon_> I just went sudo do-relase-upgrade. will in upgrade lubuntu. or ubuntu?
[02:50] <dragon_> a bit scary 
[03:20] <dragon_> I am now in 22.10
[03:20] <dragon_> not sure why I did it, longterm was fine really
[03:21] <dragon_> the black band on top turned out to be a panel?
[03:21] <dragon_> so issue sorted out
[13:40] <dragon_> after upgrade to 22.10 yesterday, the screen or monitor goes dormant very quickly. The entire settings manager is new, and I can`t find any options for the dormant intervals?
[13:55] <dragon_> I have searched for options under LXQt settings, monitor settings, session setting?
[13:56] <dragon_> when I right click on the desktop, there is an option for Desktop preferances, nothing there
[14:00] <dragon_> I probably should have kept the old desktop manager, it was an option in the upgrader
[14:01] <dragon_> The simplest thing just became a problem?
[15:42] <dragon_> sunday is probably not the best day for support?
[16:29] <dragon_> lost connection
[17:32] <dragon_> I have spent quite a bit of time on the new monitor settings, where are they?
[18:00] <arraybolt3> dragon_: Can't you find them by searching for "Monitor" in the application menu?
[18:01] <arraybolt3> If not, run "sudo apt update", then "sudo apt full-upgrade", then "sudo apt install lubuntu-desktop", and see if that fixes it. Maybe you accidentally uninstalled whatever component has the monitor settings.
[18:20] <dragon_> I might have, I just pressed "Y" everytime on the upgrade, but it looked right at the time
[18:22] <dragon_> I know there was a question on keeping the old monitor settings application, or install the new, I installed by presseing "Y" with out further investigation
[18:24] <dragon_> I ran your list of commands, and everything seems to be done already
[18:25] <dragon_> This has to be a flaw of some kind, but I would not expect it to be missed after beta version 
[18:28] <dragon_> I get the the same monitior settings, very simple no option for setting time interval or dormant modes, menue-preferances-lxqt settings-monitor settings-
[18:28] <dragon_> it was different before
[18:29] <dragon_> IT might be a very simple thing I am missing too
[18:30] <dragon_> in some operative systems, the dormant settings are under power management
[18:33] <dragon_> there was something there, under "idle", and the icon or function was nearly blanked out
[18:33] <dragon_> so lets see
[23:18] <dragon_> I can honestly say, the new monitor manager is worse than the old
[23:18] <dragon_> or rather, the dormant options in power manager 
[23:19] <dragon_> I hope they work on the new one a bit, and add a bit more options
