I have this problem everytime I install ubuntu. Firstly make sure you have the nvidia drivers installed you can find guides on how to do this just by googling, I think Dapper drake uses the same technique as the one shown un the hoary hedgehog guide doesn't it? Anyway once you've installed them press ctrl + alt + backspace.

Just realised, you might not be running nvidia, I'll assume.

Then load up a console and type sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Find where it says what colour depth you're running (probably 24) then scroll down to the list of resolutions under depth 24 and add in "1600x1200". Then press ctrl+alt+backspace again. If it still runs at a lower res start upping your vertical and horizontal refresh rates under the bit which says generic monitor. You should try not to take them above 75 each. I think mine are set at 75 and 74.

I hope that made sense, it was typed very hurriedly.

    • Review: LincPlus enters the traditional NAS space with the 6-bay LincStation S1

      By dustojnikhummer · Posted

      N97? Since it has same limitations as N100, those two M.2 slots have to run at x1, right? The Aoostar WTR Pro, the N100/N150 is a lot cheaper than this. Buy barebones and throw your own RAM (despite the price hikes in the last 2 months). Sure, it only has one 2280 slot, but it has a WiFi E key slot you can use for a boot drive with a 2 dollar adapter. The Ryzen 5825U model has two 4 lane NVMe slots (plus that E key slot) and still costs less than this. Right now, on their site, the barebones Ryzen model is 370 dollars. It doesn't come with an Unraid license, true, but that might be a plus if you don't intend to use it. Why this wall of text? Just in case someone wants to buy a semi DYI 4 bay NAS, there are cheaper options.

      Those are the big MMOs. What else is there, Infinity Nikki and Genshin Impact? Those work too. Of course some professionals will come up with edge cases where a specific software function is needed but what most people do at their desk jobs is no problem.

      Genetic toll of the dice and one point a female was born?  There was an episode of DS9 when Bashir and O’Brien crashed landed and ran into a bunch of Jem’Hadar and one wasn’t dependent on ketracel-white (genetic anomaly)?  So, it’s possible a female could have been born at one point.  Plus after how many centuries have passed between DS9 and when this takes place.
