Bug Description
We have an unusuable computer after an apt upgrade
I run kubuntu 22.04.2
The screen is stuck at 1024x768 and the menus and everything are close to unusable.
I went to the virtual console and it works fine at 1920x1080,
i ran an update again and restarted the computer
no packages updated.
I went back and poked thru the KDE menus and tried to change the screen resolution, but it said the kkscreen was unavailable. I verified it is installed.
on reddit it said to upgrade to ppa backports to fix the problem, this has happened before
Our computer uses an older integrated intel graphics
on an optiplex 3010 with a pentium circa windows 7.
when the computer restarts i may be able to add details but this is a very severe problem the computer is unusable
I was running totally stock 22.04
it was ubuntu forums that has the commands to do the ppa
the kde load screen comes up in 1920x1080 and then it pops into 1024x768 (I rebooted and the ppa is installed
