You can use ALT-F2 and type "terminal" (then enter). This should open a terminal, and then you can use command line to change the resolution.

I'm going to try using online Office 365 instead of native Office 2016. And I'll try to use Audacity instead of Audition.
The next step is to get OneDrive working, which is also essential. I...
Good idea. I thought you had to pay for online Office, but I guess not. At least, it seems to be free for me. All I have to do is login with my (free) MS account.
Yup, it's back to lubuntu for me. Why? Because Windows 7/10 are both incredibly slow on my aging Athlon X2 64 5000+ system.
Windows 7 didn't used to be slow, but for some reason it is now. I...
For an advanced user, perhaps so. But for a user asking a question like this in ubuntuforums, almost certainly not. I mean, I'm not a newbie anymore since I've been using linux for over a decade. ...
Last I checked, Hitachi made the most reliable HDDs, whereas Western Digital and other mfctrs had seriously high failure rates. Not sure if that's still the case.
Also, I wouldn't buy a used HDD...
Not if you know what you're doing, no. However, since you're asking, that means you're new at this, and had better take precautions. So, definitely back up any important data. Hopefully you won't...
Good news! I tried testdisk and I believe I have recovered my partition perfectly. Well, almost perfectly. (Grub2 won't install for some reason so I can't actually boot into it.)
But...
Thanks it sounds like testdisk is my best option. I'm going to search for more info, but in the mean time, if anyone has any experience with testdisk please feel free to chime in : )
Well, what used to be the lubuntu partition is now showing up as the "extended" container (sda4). But I've read that extended containers aren't mountable, because they're not really partitions, but...
I knew re-installing Windows 7 would kill grub, but that could be fixed. Apparently though the Windows 7 installer screwed with my partitions. When I boot into a live usb lubuntu I get this from...
I would like to create an ubuntu live usb stick (actually lubuntu, but that shouldn't matter), and I want to use it as my main linux system. So, I would like to be able to install software,...
I have an iso file which is supposed to be bootable as a usb flash drive, but when I extract the iso to my usb stick (formatted as FAT32) it refuses to boot. I get the standard error "This is not a...
Hey guys.
Usually, when I author DVDs from compliant mpg's, I use the following commands:
dvdauthor -o dvd -t video1.mpg video2.mpg -t video3.mpg video4.mpg
export VIDEO_FORMAT=NTSC...
Hey guys.
Suppose I want to crop a homemade 4:3 mp4 video in an unusual manner when converting to NTSC DVD-compliant 16:9 mpeg. For example, suppose I want to cut off the top only (instead of the...
I. Introduction
a. purpose of this document
I intend this to be a running log of some of my experiences figuring out how to do things in Lubuntu. You can think of it as a sort of how-to...
gordintoronto,
Good idea to check that article, but unfortunately it did not fix the problem. I followed its instructions, but still I cannot access the printer through SAMBA.
Any other ideas...
Hi guys.
I have a bunch of random videos I downloaded from the internet, in various formats which are not too obscure. They use stuff like DivX, XviD, and so on. Unfortunately, some of them do...
Hey guys.
I had to use wpa_supplicant to connect my laptop to the WPA2 enterprise security at work. I saved my old /etc/network/interfaces file to /etc/network/interfaces.bak before doing this. ...
I'm trying to set up a network printer share through samba. I enabled "guest ok" in the smb.conf file for the printers:
[printers]
comment = All Printers
browseable = no
path =...
I'm not informed enough to write a how-to guide, so instead I will just post a "solved" thread explaining some problems I had last night and how I fixed them. Hopefully others will find it useful.
...
Okay, thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll check them out.
Hi guys.
So I successfully set up a secure ssh connection using public/private keys and passcode and all that. But all I know how to do is access my server from the client's terminal (i.e....
Awesome! Thanks so much!
For some reason the m4p extension didn't work, so I used mpeg instead. Any further suggestions there?
Otherwise it worked great! Thanks again!
Hey all.
I want to perform a (hopefully) simple task. I have a bunch of high-quality (and hence LARGE) video files which I would like to convert to smaller, lower-quality videos for viewing on my...
