Hi Laurie:

8.04 is still a bit Experimental with me. I use 7.10 all the time. I was
going through the Configurations, and noticed that there are several log
in screens in 7.10, and that you can even apply them randomly each time
you log-in. I'm using an Acer LCD Screen now, which takes whatever
screen Resolution, and then converts it automatically to it's Screen
format, filling up the whole screen when the input is either lower or
higher resolution. I have not found the resolution format setting of the
Log-in screen yet.

Alfred!

Hi Alfred,
  Synaptic went when I was getting source list for medibuntu. That error
was resolved with a couple of commands supplied by good people on ubuntu
list.
 With login screen I went on ubuntu forums for a solution and found
quite a few people had the same problem.Tried one of the solutions,which
led to a config setup.Used this as best I could,and ended up with 4
screens on main screen,but it fixed the login.However to get back normal
screen started 8.04 in recovery mode--repair packages.That gave me my
screen back,but the login screen was back to being 800X600.My main
screen is 1024X768.

Hi Laurie:

It sort of sounds like you have a little Gremlin living there, that has
access to your Computer, and makes changes to your account. If you are
on the Internet, then you need a Virus Checker like Clam - AV, and a
Firewall like Firestarter. That way Little Gremlins on the Internet
can't do this sort of thing. Loosing Synaptic, might have been caused by
someone deleting a Part of your Linux File System. So in this case you
might want that "other Person" to have their own account, with their Own
Password, and you change your ID and Password, so they can no longer
access your Account. Then in System Tools you set permissions on files
so that They can't change your setting, and can't edit your Files, or
change your Preferences. 

If you are using 7.10 you might want to turn Comp Wiz off, because that
might be the Cause of your not being able to see Log in text. The
Password is usually not seen, it just shows up as Astrixs or you can
make it look like dots. This is so that someone else watching the screen
can't see your Password. This is Normal!

You may have the Screen Resolution set too high, this makes the font
size look very small. On one of your Panels, you can Right click on it,
and then select ADD look for a screen resolution setting Icon, and just
put that in the panel. A lower resolution will make things look bigger
on the screen. In add remove you can download some of these Extra
things. In Synaptic look for those same Files and see if there are
additional files that can be added, to give you some more options with
them. One might be in System tools, Configuration Editor. Here you can
set things like System Font Size. You can also do these things in the
Preferences of Applications, so that Font Size and Default Font can be
chosen, for an application.

This is kind of general, but might help you, until i know some more of
your System Details.

Alfred!

Hi Laurie:

>>>Still can't change the resolution on login screen.Just type in user
and password,but can't see it or the options on login.

I'll try to look into this, it probably has something to do with setting
up the default Font, and setting up the Splash Screen or Login Screen. I
didn't run into this problem yet, but I'll experiment with it, a bit.

Alfred!
