AU. Been googling this for 2 days now, trying various fixes which succeeded in only causing an Nvidia persistent error on boot. Although I did manage to increase the resolution at some point, the black border still existed.



PC is connected via hdmi to an LG tv. I had to install using nosetmode as the hdmi signal would drop during the ubuntu splash screen, if that makes a difference.



xrandr fails to get size of gamma, but if it manages to add the higher resolution, it still displays as 640x480 and I only see a corner. This is a fresh install of 18.04.



Some command examples:



    snow-white@snow-white:~$ xrandr
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
