Frequnecy Out of Range
Hi fellow Trisquel users,
I need your help in resolving the Frequency Out of Range when I boot up my machine. I was able to resolve it the last time (in Mint) by going to Menu>Control Center>System>StartUp-Manager>Advanced tab>Bootloader menu resolution>800x600 but I can't do it in Trisquel.
I tried searching for the answer but the ones I found couldn't help.
Hope to hear from you guys soon!
You can change your resolution and refresh rate from the main menu,
System > Preferences > Monitors, or by running the command:
gnome-display-properties
That is for X preferences. His problem is during bootup. I believe the solution is to edit /etc/default/grub (with administrator's privilege) and update-grub. To be more precise:
1) Open a terminal (it is in the accessories sub-menu);
2) Type and execute (by pressing [Enter]) the following command:
$ gksu gedit /etc/default/grub
3) After entering your password, uncomment the line #GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 by removing the leading # and change 640x480 into 800x600;
4) Add the following line (wherever you want):
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD=800x600;
5) Save and exit the text editor;
6) Back in the terminal, execute the following command:
$ gksu update-grub;
7) Reboot and tell us, in response to this post, if it has worked. :-)
Unfortunately, my monitor turns off still.
Mmmm. Check out this page: https://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/
If you do not mind text instead of Trisquel's logo, you can follow again the steps I mention above, but once /etc/default/grub opened, uncomment the line #GRUB_TERMINAL=console by removing the leading #.
Thanks for that Magic Banana.
Am just updating the grub now. Will tell you exactly what happens after I reset. BTW, I installed startupmanager (sudo apt-get install startupmanager) and was able to go past the boot and was able to see the choices of GNU/Linux OS (I'm dual booting with another distro). However, once I choose Trisquel, my monitor shuts down again until the login screen appears.
