Anchal Bhargava, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.
1) What is the full manufacturer and model of your external monitor? 2) How is the monitor connected to the computer HDMI, VGA, etc.? 3) Could you please provide the full computer model as noted on the sticker of the computer itself (not from the Bug Description, or the result of a terminal command)? 4) If you remove the nomodeset parameter, is this reproducible? ** Description changed: - Hello, + I only have one screen resolution in display (1024x768). - I am new to Linux, I have just installed Ubuntu 14, my problem is I am - getting only one screen resolution in display(1024x768) and that's kind - of uncomfortable to work. - - I read that we do not need to install Graphics Driver then why isn't it - showing me other screen resolutions? - - One more thing, when I tried to install Ubuntu, after clicking on - Install Ubuntu option, I got the time, volume option on the top right - hand but the installation didn't start. I waited for around 15 minutes - then restart the installation. I tried to install ubuntu 6-7 times with - different versions too. But same thing happened every time. - - So I read in a forum and some one said to use "nomodeset" option and - after that ubuntu was installed. I hope this will help in rectifying the - problem (also I will be very grateful if you can tell me why it wasn't - working before and why it did install after that option, I am trying to - learn how Linux works) - - And I think that this doesn't have to do anything with it but still. I - am using Intel XEON E5450 processor and don't have any external graphic - card installed. - - Thanks, - Anchal Bhargava + I have kernel parameter nomodeset in use as I couldn't install Ubuntu + without it.
