Ubuntu

Monitor problem

Asked by Nitin

After using kubuntu for few days My monitor display became scrambled when I log in to kubuntu. In ubuntu also when I used the default session as x server client then after few days the same problem appears. So now I have set the default login session as gnome (after reinstalling ubuntu). I hope it will be okay. What could be the possible reason for this?

Hello Nitin

Seems like a monitor error. Although it is a configuration problem with Ubuntu. You just need to reconfigure xserver using;

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

and it should work thereafter.

Course to get to a terminal you press Control-Alt-F1 (or f2, etc.)

Login.

Run the command:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

then

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart

(or sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart if using kde/kubuntu)

Of course during the dpkg-reconfigure you want to select the options that work best with your system. and I always configure the monitor using the 'medium' option, which will let you select the resolution and refresh rate in a method that makes sense to me. Easy might work better for others.

Hope this helps!
