I made some progress, but still struggling. The Ctrl-Alt-F1 opened a terminal, but maybe not the right kind?
Whenever I issued the xrandr command (other than man xrandr), I got "Can't Open Display" Found two outputs VGA1 and LVDS1 in this file /var/log/Xorg.0.log and this coincides with what I saw in the monitor window. These are the 'output' types and if the xrandr command worked I'd issue something like: xrandr --ouptut LVDS1 --auto Someone mentioned xorg.conf, but I could not find any xorg.conf files in the etc/X11 file. In some of the info I found, the xorg.conf was replaced in this or a recent version of Debian by something else and confuses me. One person had the same issue and he got to this directory: $HOME/.e/e/config/standard" and found files such as: "e_randr.cfg" plus "e_randr.1.cfg" thru "e_randr.9.cfg" Here's the page for that guy: https://forum.manjaro.org/index.php?topic=16531.0 He kept saying, "I can login as root." I'm having issues login as root and not I got that right. I issued: sudo su cd root But, ls root --> there are no files or folders. I tried: cd .e cd e But, no surprise that folder is not there. I guess my question is, did I get to root, and if so, how can I get to .e folder? I did see the # sign appear like other info I read on the web. But, no files are there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
