Edit the file:

Code Select Expand

sudo nano /etc/default/gruband set screen resolution as you like, from:

Code Select Expand

#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480to, for example:

Code Select Expand

GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480or

Code Select Expand

GRUB_GFXMODE=800x600Then save the file and update grub:

Code Select Expand

sudo update-grub

Thanks. I tried to bring up Terminal but got Konsole instead. I was able to enter the first command, but after that there was no input prompt.Instead there was a bunch of entries saying to delete the comment hash, i.e. make a command, but I couldn't make it work beyond the deletion. It didn't respond to Enter. Is there no plain Terminal on KDE?

Check the Forum profile-> Notifications

I've been frustrated by notifications too. My own "profile > notifications > Follow topics I create and reply to" was unchecked. Is that the default, or did I do that to myself? (If it's the default, I think that's the wrong default.).

mine was unchecked too, until this help led me to check it. I agree, unchecked/off isn't a smart default.  more, yours is not the first Reply I've gotten on the forums, but your reply was the first that generated an email.

Konsole is a default terminal emulator for KDE, so you can use it.

Run:

Code Select Expand

sudo nano /etc/default/grubthen use your keyboard, not mouse, and go to line:

Code Select Expand

#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480use DEL key to delete "#"; the keys of CTRL+o saves the file, then CTRL+x quit the text editor.
Then:

Code Select Expand

sudo update-grub

Notifications still aren't working for me (after enabling "Follow topics I create and reply to").  That's the only thing I changed. I was thinking there would be a notification on the forum page itself (since I didn't enable email notifications). But, there's nothing.

Maybe the forum community would be more active if it defaulted to notifications (just a visual alert). It's tedious to come back to the forum and manually scan for everything I was interested in. That must be an impediment to participation.

I still wonder if I changed something (turning off notifications) and forgot I did. I hate to be too critical if there's a chance I did it to myself. But, you said you had the same default setting I did. (Apparently there's more that needs to be changed too just to get a forum visual alert, not full email alert).
