[Bug 1425564] Re: Wrong resolutions on reboot

 

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears
to be a "regular" (non-security) bug.  I have unmarked it as a security
issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to
cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy.
Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Title:
  Wrong resolutions on reboot

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I installed Windows 7 on another partition and did boot repair, but as
  soon as I booted it up into the grub menu the screen was offset to the
  right and the resolution (1400x1050) will not allow it to completely
  display on my screen. I booted into Ubuntu, and sometimes with the
  auto-adjust option on the monitor I can make it display the whole
  screen at a different resolution, but the only resolutions it lets me
  use stretch the screen and make it look strange. I'm afraid to reboot
  a lot of the time because sometimes auto-adjust won't work and I'm
  just stuck with a cut-off screen.

  I would also like to mention that when I initially boot Ubuntu now,
  after partitioning and installing both OSes, it logs me in and lets me
  use Ubuntu for a random amount of time without asking for a password.
  This doesn't seem very secure.
