My display is the wrong size. When I go to the display settings it says monitor unknown.

What release of Ubuntu?
Does the system have a make and model?
We don't even know the video chip... Or anything about the system.

With so little information how can anyone reply? Imagine if this was posted on a Windows forum. Same issue. What is the answer?

We cannot see your system. You need to give details about the system as well as the symptoms.

Sorry about that, i'm new to this sort of thing. For some reason my brain thought what I had was all I needed. Thank you for telling me what I am missing.
MATE desktop environment 1.12.
Ubuntu 16.04
I dont know about the video chip, the computer is a pine A64+,
let me know if there are more things i am missing. Thanks again.

If you run:

sudo lshw -C network

What is the output?

Thanks

It says [sudo] password for ubuntu:

Type your login password and hit ENTER. You won't get any feedback but the inputs are being registered

It is saying command not found, could you clarify the components of the command?
