Hi, and welcome to Zorin OS!

Just to start ruling things out, could you switch to Xorg to see if that works?

In the login screen, there's a wheel icon in the lower right where you can make the switch, and then log in normally:

Do You remember what Error that was?

Try the Following for now:

sudo apt reinstall zorin-os-desktop gnome-control-center

and then reboot.


still no way to change the settings. it's weird because when i first installed it through my flash drive i was able to change around my settings but after i installed the updates for the latest version of everything it locked the display settings.

i tried that and nothing changed still not able to edit display settings, sadly also i don't remember the error it gave me

Nvidia Gforce 4060, but i'm looking at my hardware now and it says software rendering

edit: i have yes still the same issue of the settings being locked

i just disabled secure boot and i'm able to change the setting, is that good or bad?
