@JourneymanGeek the resolution sucks
wowowowow
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
Sucks how?
Its "wrong" ?
SOmetimes auto-detection dosen't quite work
So check if the resolution of the monitor and what your OS detects is the same

ahahah ok so basically it can support up to a 3440×1440 but yes, ubuntu wont recognise it (although windows will)
i tried you xrandr to make a custom resolution but that also isnt working
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
ah
Mochan
Mochan
it says its wayland and im not sure but i have an inkling that it doesn't play nice with ubuntu?
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
I was gonna suggest that lol

wayland wouldn't use xrandr

@JourneymanGeek ok finished this, rebooting noww
aight so I think I've broken it
Got me a nice kernel panic on start up
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
Ah shit.
Mochan
Mochan
oops
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
I think you can edit grub from the prompt to get it back up?
Mochan
Mochan
14:50
Ok lemme try
soooo what I edited was grub.config(?) and supposedly you can't edit that from within the CLI? Is it possible to change the contents from my windows partition?
Is there any other distro that's gonna make working with this monitor easy? Considering just reinstalling lmaoo

@Mochan you can't edit that from within the CLI? What? You can edit the file using CLI using text editors like Nano. Is it possible to change the contents from my windows partition? Nope, but you can do that via a live USB (or recovery mode if you can boot into it).
Mochan
Mochan
@Someone I tried booting into recovery but same kernel panic. I thought the grub shell couldn't load text editors ?
Someone
Someone
Oh! So you're on grub rescue> prompt.
Mochan
Mochan
Well it was just grub>, from pressing c before selecting Ubuntu from the grub boot selection thing
Someone
Someone
Oh!
Are you having a Live USB (the USB disk from which you installed Ubuntu)?
Mochan
Mochan
Sorry man. I really have to get around correct terminology. I do, I'm going to try that. But I'm also considering just installing kubuntu or something that doesn't use Wayland as its default protocol
Not sure if that will help but
Someone
Someone
15:23
@Mochan Hmm, I don't think installing Kubuntu will help, but it's worth giving it a try.
Mochan
Mochan
Yeah I'm at that point at the moment πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Good Luck.

Yay using xrandr in kubuntu allowed me to make the custom resolution
BeastOfCaerbannog
BeastOfCaerbannog
@Mochan So that means that it should probably have worked if you had logged in in an X11 GNOME session (instead of Wayland).
logged in in... OK

@BeastOfCaerbannog like this? forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=311203

@Mochan Even simpler, like this: linuxconfig.org/…
In my installation of 20.04 I had both options available in the login screen without having to do anything more
Mochan
Mochan
18:39
@BeastOfCaerbannog yeah I saw that it allowed both. Oh well. I'm enjoying trying a new DE at least lmao
@BeastOfCaerbannog I had 21.10 unfortunately
