I am using Ubuntu 22.04 on a machine that has (based on lspci -v
): VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corp. GK208B [GeForce GT 730]...
, although on the system ABOUT the graphics shows as llvmpipe (LLVM 15.0.6, 256 bits)
.
The resolution should be 1920x1080 but the screen does not have this resolutoin. I solve a first issue of this kind with the command sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall; sudo apt install nvidia-driver-470
. I solved a second issue of this kind, on the same machine, with the same command, and a third issue as well.
The it happened again, but this time the command did not work. To note that the drivers are already installed. I tried to install a newer driver with sudo ubuntu-drivers install nvidia:525
but it did not work.
I tried to force the resolution by changing the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash video=hyperv_fb:1920x1080"
on /etc/default/grub and reload with sudo update-grub
. But it did not work. I also tried to reinstall xorg, as shown in this post, but did not work.
How can I force the resolution to 1920 x 1080 once and for all?
Why do I have the line llvmpipe (LLVM 15.0.6, 256 bits)
instead of an NVIDIA
one in system:About? Is that the problem? If yes, how do I change it?
Was the modification of grub a good approach?
Shall I follow this post about disabling secure boot? In my configuration, I have a fast boot, then a secure boot option #1 ubuntu (SATA6G_5:...)
active and a SATA6G_5:...
inactive. Shall I disable it? And if yes, how will the machine know where to find the booting files (for it will not know where to find SATS6G_5 anymore...)?
To note that I have other machines with Ubuntu 22.04, but this error occurs always and only on a specific machine. The machine that gives resolution problem has:
$ uname -a
Linux whopper 5.19.0-41-generic #42~22.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue Apr 18 17:40:00 UTC 2 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
One machine that does not give resolution problem has
$ uname -a
Linux behemoth 5.19.0-40-generic #41~22.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Mar 31 16:00:14 UTC 2 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Is there something wrong with the hardware of this machine? Perhaps either the video card or the mother board have a glitch?
Thank you
