I found the solution to fix this probleam
step 1 You need to find out your desktop resolution . You can find this
information by gowing to system in your menu bar , then click on the control
center icon. When the control center icon open look for a icon that say display
. A box may appear with a choice just select no . Then the display preference
panel will open. in there you will see a box that has your resolution in it .
For example 800X600 . Write down on a piece of papper the screen resolution
before you go to the next step.
stept 2 at the log in screen press CTRL+Alt+F1,
step 3 type the following at your command prompt
export DISPLAY=:0.0 and press the enter key on your keyboard
stept 4 after pressing the enter key you may be asked to enter your
password so just enter your password and press the enter key on your
keyboard
step 5 after your computer go back to the command prompt type the following
command
sudo -u gdm gnome-control-center and press the enter key on your keyboard
if your are ask for your password just enter your password and press the enter
key again .
you may see a errors masage on your screen just it ok ,just go to the next step
step 6 after pressing the enter key in the previous step and when you
are back at the command prompt stops press CTRL+F7
step 7. now you should be back to The Gnome Control Center should appear (it
looks exactly the same as The Gnome Control Center found in system on your
ubuntu menu bar, but , it relates to the login screen in this case.)
step 8 now select in the control center panel the Display icon . when the
display icon open you will see a other panel .
step 9 in the display preference panel you will see a place were it
say RESOLUTION. beside it his a box that has a arows menu . click with
your mouse on the arows and you will see defferent choice of resolution.
select the same resolution that you wrote on a piece of papper in step 1
, then click apply with your mouse
step 10 close the dispay panel and the control panel then restart your
computers by selecting the log out icon then click on restart.
step 11 if everething worked ok , then when you computer reboot and go
back to the command prompt your log in screen will be fix with the right
resolution
