I install Ubuntu on my desktop, but I can't find the 1920x1080 resolution. I use it on windows but can't find that on Ubuntu. Any advice!!

Hello and welcome Tirtho. Please for this u need to find the name that your OS give to the Screen trough this command:

xrandr --listactivemonitors

that will give u back something like this:

    Monitors: 2
 0: +*XWAYLAND0 1600/430x900/240+1920+0  XWAYLAND0
 1: +XWAYLAND1 1920/480x1080/270+0+0  XWAYLAND1

The very first thing u can try is:

cvt 1920 1080 60.0

this will show you the Modeline of that resolution like this:

Modeline "1920x1080_60.00"  173.00  1920 2048 2248 2576  1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync

from this u will use right after Modeline : "1920x1080_60.00".... with the xrandr command like this:

xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_60.00"  173.00  1920 2048 2248 2576  1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync

now add that modeline to the name of your monitor, on this example:

xrandr --addmode XWAYLAND0 "1920x1080_60.00"

Now it's time to add this mode on a little config file created on your home nano or vi called .xprofile

xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_60.00"  173.00  1920 2048 2248 2576  1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode XWAYLAND0 "1920x1080_60.00"

now do this to it initialize every time u log in to your user:

chmod +x $HOME/.xprofile
