Community Rules

Follow the Code of Conduct

All posts on pop_os must adhere to the Pop!_OS community Code of Conduct. https://github.com/pop-os/code-of-conduct

Be helpful

Posts to pop_os must be helpful. When responding to a user asking for help, do not provide tongue-in-cheek responses like "RTM" or links to LMGTFY. Linking to direct sources that answer the asker's question is fine, but it's advised to provide some explanation as to how you got to that source.

Critique should be constructive

We within the Pop!_OS community welcome helpful criticism or ideas on ways to improve. However, basic "It's bad" or other simple negative comments don't help anyone fix anything. When voicing a complaint about something, try to point out ways the complaint could be improved or worked around, so that we can make a better product for it.

This rule applies to both Pop!_OS and its projects as well as other products available from third-parties.

Don't post malicious "advice"

It can be funny to joke about malicious commands, however this is not the venue for it. Do not advise users to run commands which will lock up their systems, steal their data, or erase their drive. Examples of this include (but are not limited to) fork bombs, rm, etc.

Posts violating this rule will be removed, even if the post is clearly in jest. Repeated offences may lead to a ban. You may understand that the command isn't serious, but a new user might not.

No personal attacks

Posts making a personal attack on any user will not be tolerated.

No hate speech

Hate speech of any kind will not be tolerated. Any violations will be removed, and are grounds for a ban.

I only have one monitor plugged into my desktop PopOS 22.04 LTS install. Recently my display settings shows two displays with one being the correct Samsung one and another just as "Unknown Display".

I am running NVIDIA Graphics and the About reads: NVIDIA Corporation TU106 [GeForce RTX 2060 Rev. A]

With nvidia-driver-550 installed. Any help would be appreciated!

Check out nvidia Xserver settings, last update seems to have messed with something in the config, popOS display settings was having trouble putting them back and ignoring the unknown one

Yeah I checked and saw that there was some random display there. However, the latest update this morning fixed this issue after a restart so I guess someone fixed it upstream? ๐Ÿ˜€

Good news for everyone! My right monitor I have a 21:9 portrait and its a black hole for my mouse now, I can move it further right about 3 screen widths, hopefully this update fixes that too

Sadly today the issue is back. Still unsure why this keeps happening.
