Ubuntu

i can not run ubuntu

Asked by francescohk

i m lost

after starting installation i get this problem
(EE) 1810 no video bios for the chosen depth
(EE) screen(s) found but none have a usable configuration
Fatal error
no screen found

what i have to do.

one of the reasons maybe can be
when i installed the first time everything was fine but the resolution that was fixed on 640x480 no way to change it
so i did something that i can remember what
i found myself in a page orgx where there were different resolution values
i choose the 1152 x... and went out

then the problem starts
with fail to startx server

i uninstall ubuntu hoping to reinstall it but i come to face the above problem.

what i have to do to get my ubuntu install and working in a better resolution?

Try booting in recovery mode, and at the prompt give this command:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

or this if you know well your graphic adapter:

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

Or you can simply restore your old X server configuration file with this command:

mv -f /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~ /etc/X11/xorg.conf

The first option is most probably better as it should allow you to set the wished resolution.
If you keep having troubles, we need to have a look at your /etc/X11/xorg.conf as well as your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file to seek for a solution.

Can you help with this problem?
