Can you give some details to help you. e.g.
What graphics card do you have?
What resolution is that screen?
How is that screen connected to your machine (what ports/cable type)?
gt 1030 low profile *i have the nvidia drivers
and this picture has my internal resolution
it's connected via HDMI
So Zorin Setting is currently 1680x1050 resolution.
Do you know native resolution of the large screen. (i.e. is it a 4k monitor)
Do you see (or have tried) other resolutions from that "Resolution" dropdown.
tried other resolutions and nothing really changed
it's not a 4k monitor it's a pretty mid toshiba amazon fire tv lol
Is it installed or does it run in a Virtual Machine?
installled
Is it just me... or is there a line vertically running just to the left of center of the monitor?
@qwert, what is your terminal output for
sudo lshw -C video
I got this
"*-display

"
Either using Software & Updates > Additional drivers
Or
nvidia-smi
Which Nvidia driver are you using?
Is the HDMI cable plugged into the Nvidia card port or into the Motherboard port?
typed that in the terminal and got this
"Failed to initialize NVML: Driver/library version mismatch
NVML library version: 535.161"
That sounds like a Cuda issue.
Have you manually installed any Graphics related packages?
You might try
sudo apt remove --purge '^nvidia-.*'
sudo ubuntu-drivers install
Once done, do a hard reboot fully shutting down the computer before booting back up.
and now everything is zoomed in
Is it still producing the error and the screen only partially populated with a tiny display?
it looks like this
and no it's just the whole screen. not a chunk of the screen this time
Opening Display, what resolution are you using?
Or the terminal output of
xrandr
Does it say something like "Failed to get size of gamma..."?
yep got "xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 640 x 480, maximum 640 x 480
default connected primary 640x480+0+0 0mm x 0mm
640x480 73.00*"
Can you follow these steps to use the nomodeset grub parameter (Be sure to run sudo update-grub) and then reboot and check resolution?
hard reboot or soft reboot???
