How do I shrink screen size during install?

gb flag

The install screens for 20.04 go beyond my monitor. I'm unable to see options or know when to press enter or continue. Help!

I have an LG 27" gaming monitor. I'm running a Lenovo Legion gaming machine, Win 10, trying to install Ubuntu onto a second drive but can't see what I'm doing.

The installer should window should fit even on a 10" screen, and no, there is no way to shrink it.

Screen size in inches is not relevant. You can select "Try Ubuntu" and go into system settings and verify that the screen is set to the native screen resolution. At that point you should be able to see everything. Also make sure you've physically disconnected any additional displays.

Does this answer your question? [How set my monitor resolution?](https://askubuntu.com/questions/189246/how-set-my-monitor-resolution)

This did not solve the issue. I did the "try Ubuntu" and got to display settings...it is set at 4:3 and will not change. I'm stuck at the "boot manager" screen. I can't see below that line and nothing I do will get me any further. Frustrated at this point. I don't think I have another monitor that is hdmi.

I did happen to have the monitor that this bigger one replaced with an HDMI interface. I got a better response from the computer but, bottom line, I again hit a snag. .apparently my video card is not compatible. It is s GEFORCE RTX 3060 in case anyone is thinking of obtaining one. Thanks for the comments!!

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
