Ubuntu won't boot
I am new to Linux. I installed Ubuntu 12.04 a month ago in WUBI to dual boot with my aging XP os.
I was quite happy except for a couple of things that I set about trying to remedy. One was the screen resolution, which was 1280 1024 (5:4) that I wanted to be 1920 1080 (16 : 9). After searching quite a few websites, I followed some instructions and created a text document 10-monitor.conf with some code in it, which I hoped would rectify the situation, however, when I rebooted, it hangs on the Ubuntu logo screen forever. I've tried all sorts but got nowhere. When I get to the command line prompt in recovery mode and try to remove the file, I just get “no such file or directory”. Does anyone know what's going on? Can anybody help ? |
Maybe, try to find your file by command: find / name file_name
Then try to delete it and recovery system. |
Did you look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d? This is where x configuration files usually go.
|
If you want to find this file you need root privileges, command find, described above. Or try to find in recovery mode, you have privileges in this case.
|
I don't have /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d, only /etc/X11/. I have however finally managed to delete the file and all work OK now. Thanks for the help, I'll be back
|
Which file did you delete?
Ubuntu doesn't use a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d nvidia did create a /etc/X11/xorg.conf for me though. |
The file was called 10-monitor.conf.
