Where's the extended Screen [was: First no extended screen, now my password doesn't match]

[jb]

Hi Josph, hereby my report. 1. I installed Ubuntustudio 12.10, which ran absolutely fine,     incl. a second monitor as a clone from a 32GiB USB-stick, which     was not the same stick where the downloaded image.iso     was installed (a 16 GiB-stick)     I was missing the second monitor as an extended one, but only     the clone screen was available.     Then after some queries with Xserver and     randr and some restarts Ubuntu forgot my user     Password. Password changing with shift-key at the grube-prompt     didn't work - a new password wasn't accepted. 2. After that,  I yesterdy installed Ubuntustudio 12.04.2 LTS     on the reformatted same USB-Stick like 12.10 before.     No error message apeared, but while the install procedure     Ubuntu said the medium (16 GiB) from which I was starting the     install procedure is damaged and stopped the install procedure.     An errormessage was sent somewhere in the net. It was always the same    dilemma whether I tried the Stick prepared for persistant mode or not. 3. Running 12.04.2 LTS in Life-mode I couldn't find an extended Monitor, too. 4. A Hardware check of the 16 GiB-Stick (Fat32) under Win7 couldn't not find any error. Where's the extended Monitor to be found?

I'll change the system now and give you report after.

In my case this driver is Nvidia 304.48 ArandR and 'display' in settings may show the second monitor in some cases but the values are bad if the wrong driver is in place.. Sysinfo from the software center may tell you if your system is seeing the right display information.

I know Linux since the late 80ies but I did not work continously work with it, because it was  mostly for me to difficult to handle. You see I'm not a real Newby, but I got more and more sick of beeing the administrator rather than an operator who wanted to work with Linux. Another reason was that Linux - from Redhat over Suse and Debian to Ubuntu - never provided a pleasant enviroment  for me  and especially for the applications I wanted to run (Officeapps, Mediaapps). So far .... Since I'm now in retirement I find that there is no more reason to hold an expensive and extremly  by it's provider controlled OS  on my Computer I decided to make another trial with Linux, Ubuntustudio 12.04, KDE My issue Hardware: Thinkpad ( Lenovo X61T ) OS:             Ubuntustudio 12.04 running with KDE installed on USB-stick, 32 GiB                    with nearly 22 GiB free space) (no Live-Version) Aim:           Running a second screen as an extended and not as a clone First impression: easy to install, even the printer!!!! That was really new for me                                and raised hopes. But all my trials to run an extended screen got fail and were ending to a Clone and after some investigations in the net and some queries  with the Xserver and randr I couldn't solve my problem. I do not really remember whether I changed a parameter, but when I started my Ubuntu next day, Ubuntu doesn't rember  or accept my password. Who can help me a) with the password lock and b) with the extended screen?
