> hey all, ive been experiencing problems with my ubuntu 8.04 since installation. ive used ubuntu since 7.04 and everything has been great until i upgraded to hardy. Basically ive been having problems with window resolution as well as login font. when i installed it on my laptop the windows were so big that i couldnt see everything and so i pretty much blindly installed it. after installation everything seemed fine, except for the login name and password font. the font is like size 72 or something huge, which i just decided to deal with bc everything that i found online to fix the problem didnt work. for some reason i couldn't add dpi -92 to ...i forget which document...so i gave up. the next thing, i installed SElinux from the command line and it required me to restart my computer. upon shutdown timidity i noticed took longer than usual to close down and upon starting a new session i all of a sudden dont have sound! once again i tried everything from forums to handbook to irc and no luck on how to fix either problem. any suggestions anyone? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!
