You describe more precisely exactly the same as I am seeing, with just a single screen. Now, being a total Newbie to Linux, I thought initially it was pilot error.
I also need to use the Command Line commands, and after setting the screen size, I used the GUI desktop "Terminal" to access the login ...... this works OK (against the purple background). But if I access the Command Line via "Ctrl+Alt+F1" (as recommended) the screen changes size back to overflowing (black background) and so you cannot see the prompts, which overflow on the left side. I notice also that an incorrect keyboard layout is now selected. I don't think this can be normal, so could this be something to do with the same bug? Or maybe its just my ignorance of the quirks of Ubuntu, and I still need to configure something else. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1511247 Title: Ubuntu 15.10 Could not apply the stored configuration for monitors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1511247/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
