I'm running Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS on this system




Processor: Intel Core i5-7400



Mainboard: H110M-Gaming3-CF




The problem is the highest resolution it can go up to is 1024x768, which is terrible. How can I set my resolution to a higher resolution (i.e. FHD which fits my screen)? Thanks.

First of all if i had understood the question correctly, it is not a hardware problem at all. Simply saying, it is not even a problem but a design flaw where ubuntu or the other versions of it like (k,l,x,edu,etc.,) are required to add the resolution we want to set.



So follow my steps:-



1.Open a Terminal by CTRL+ALT+T



  1. Type xrandr and ENTER


  2. Note the display name usually VGA-1 or HDMI-1 or DP-1


  3. Type cvt 1920 1080 and ENTER


  4. Type sudo xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_60.00" 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync and ENTER


  5. Type sudo xrandr --addmode VGA-1 "1920x1080_60.00"and ENTER


  6. Replace VGA-1 with your display type(step 3) like HDMI-1 or DP-1


  7. Now close the terminal and go to Settings >> Display settings and change it to 1920x1080


  8. Enjoy FHD.

Confectionery

Prepared foods made with a lot of sugar or other cabohydrates "Sweetmeat" redirects here. For the racehorse, see Sweetmeat (horse). Not to be confused with Sweetbread. This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of ...
