....and in an odd twist of events, it just fixed itself. I did nothing to cause it or fix it. However, I'd still like to know why it happened.

After updating last night, any video I play now is distorted and echoes, no matter which player I use. Dragon Player, VLC, and videos in browsers all have the same results. Is this a known issue? My System: Operating System: Fedora Linux 37 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.2 KDE Frameworks Version...

I've never had any of my several Bluetooth devices connect as of yet. This is a new build, but everything Mint was installed without issue. I don't know if there is a conflicting plugin, or a missing part of the program, but I have had no luck getting anything to be acknowledged whenever I...

Does anyone know what steps to take to get Mint to acknowledge Bluetooth devices? I've heard uninstalling all Bluetooth-related packages and reinstalling them sometimes works, but I can't figure out how to make that effective. My setup: System: Kernel: 5.15.0-58-generic x86_64 bits: 64...

Done. Thanks to you, @Lord Boltar , @kc1di , et al. for the help. It is greatly appreciated as I make the permanent move to Linux. BTW: Timeshift was a step I took during initial installation, so I'm all set there. :) Thanks again!

HOLD EVERYTHING! I just got this working. Haaa...llelujah For a laugh, I changed the grub file to its default 800x600 and commented out that line. I thought if I can get showing on the TV again I can at least see if the display settings are still greyed out. I then remembered that if I...

Good point. Much to my chagrin, this TV only has HDMI as a connection. (Three of them, to be more accurate.) On the other hand, my GPU has one HDMI port, but three display ports.

Once I managed to get the resolutions list to appear via the videoinfo command, I got so excited that this was actually one of the first things I did. However, I still got the "Out of memory" error on bootup when I switched to the larger monitor. The result of this command is: HDMI-0 I may...

@wizardfromoz I'm certainly hoping for the best. What makes me optimistic is that the screen resolution I'm hoping to display at is a lot smaller than my GPU's maximum output. According to GeForce's specs for my video card, the maximum digital resolution is 7680 x 4320. I'm only shooting for...

@wizardfromoz : It worked! (The GRUB menu results, that is.) Right, here's what returned from videoinfo: Adapter `EFI GOP driver': *0x000 3840 x 2160 x 32 (15360) Direct color, mask: 8/8/8/8 pos: 16/8/0/24 There are about thirteen more listings, but I'm excited about the first one with the...

Learning curve, indeed! 1. Should I turn off secure boot? I think I can find it. It's probably in the advance settings, but I'll see. 2. When I enter xrandr in a terminal, here's what I get: xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default Screen 0: minimum 1680 x 1050, current 1680 x...

Last question answer: my GPU is MSI RTX 3070 Ventus 2X 8G OC LHR NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 8GB GDDR6. I've followed the instructions per the link you shared. It's a bit confusing because the author first says to run the hwinfo command (which I did), and adds that if that doesn't work, to use...

Using Lord Boltar's advice, I've actuallt managed to get something to show on the monitor, so we are making progress. However, I realized the aspect ratio is off. I figure it's because the grub file is set to 640x480, so I changed it to read the aspect ratio of my television monitor -- which is...

Thanks for that! It worked like a charm.

I finally found the grub file, but it's not letting me save changes. Is there a way to bypass that so I can test your suggestion?
