seems like it gets stuck after i do save. at the bottom it'll say File Name to Write: /etc/default/grub I do the control o followed by control x and nothing happens.

[logan01]

doing it now.

i can't exit

Did you edit with sudo? If not say no to discard the changes and edit the file as root

[elijathegold]

So you added a new line to /etc/default/grub containing

GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX="1366x780"

Pressed Ctrl + O (Letter O) <Enter>
Pressed Ctrl + X

That should drop you back to the terminal from which you launched nano. You should just be able to run the sudo update-grub from there? If not, I'll have to come back to this tomorrow as my meds are kicking in and I'm getting very drowsy. I'd hate to mess up now!

i can't exit

[logan01]

did save in a new "blank" line.
tried to exit. I then entered the required Y to save yet again. Can't get it to a point where i can enter sudo update-grub. Tried to x out of it (the window close x in upper right. It launches another window say work is being performed in sudo. I cancel the kill.

[elijathegold]

Ohhhhh

[logan01]

control plus zero or Ohhhhh for save?

Gèp nem indul ,ezt a segitseget kaptam Audo Self....

You don't click in nano, use the cursor keys to move down to the right place. I've been using nano for years and still do that every now then. These new fangled GUIs spoiling us with their features.

[logan01]

I pasted the line you provide less the resolution so that I could add 1366x780. When I hit return, should I not see that newly created line? I ain't getting it. At GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="", don't I just click there, hit return, and a new line should appear fro me to enter what you want me to enter?

[elijathegold]

Applications -> Settings ->System Settings -> Display and Monitors will show you that info.

[logan01]

I need to find my monitor's current resolution in kubuntu and replace the default?

[logan01]

Ok. Got my printer going too.
