Thanks. Systemd is one of those things that's changed since I last ran linux so I've got a bit of learning to do there. Turns out ubuntu gnome is running gdm, which isn't surprising. > I'm guessing the partition type is NTFS, so try ntfs-config. Ext4 actually, windows has never touched this machine :) I did the fstab thing (I think) on the last install but this is getting beyond my comfort zone. > Neither is Windows. [0] IME windows has always gone the other way, it will default to a lower resolution which is uglier but more usable. And the login menu is at the resolution of the last user. I did have an issue recently where windows 10 was constantly switching resolutions though, it was the first time I've been grateful for the dell/intel crapware that fixed it. |

Not kidding. Its one of those things that can run half the system, so its unsurprising to not know much about it. However, at least we have a consistent way of managing things now.

Yeah, this might be getting difficult.
We used to have pysdm, but that's out of date now, and doesn't even support UUIDs, so it won't help.
I think gnome-disks (which is GUI-based), might have a chance at helping, but we're running into the technical side of Linux that I wish was easier to manage for the average person. (You can install gnome-disks with apt-get install gnome-disk-utility if it isn't already installed).
However, it might just have the same issues as the volume manager.
Wish I could help more, but I don't know enough about what's going wrong for you.

Thankfully, that's an easy thing to do with Linux, thanks to symbolic links. [0]
But I agree, defaulting to a lower res would be so very helpful in situations like this. Hopefully this story gets better soon.
