Hi There,
I created a new user account for my daughter using “sudo useradd -m name” but when I log into it and try to change the screen resolution to the same as mine(1980 X 1080) it will not let me unless I change my screen resolution to something else.
Is there a way to make them both the same?
Thanks,
Alma
Hello again @NewUser. This is an unusual resolution. Might this be a typo, and you meant 1920 x 1080?
Could you also provide some system details:
inxi -SMGxxx --za | eos-sendlog
Please share the shortlink that produces.
Hello again Bink,
You are right I meant to say 1920 x 1080.
Here is the result of the command you sent me:

Note: I moved your topic to the XFCE section now your desktop environment is noted.
It makes things a bit easier to read, if you set output text like that as preformatted text.
To do that, use three backticks before and after the text:
```

```

Im not sure if I get it.
I placed the … in front of the text and after but I’m not seeing any difference.

When logged in under your daughters account, what does the output of xrandr show?
xrandr

Can you try this:
xrandr --output eDP-1 --mode 1920x1080
I suspect this won’t persist after restart, but just wanting to see if this works.
So I just tried something and it worked. I changed the refreshing rate to match mine which is 59.96Hz and now they are the same.
