02/28/2019 update messed with screen resolution
0
I just updated my system (ubuntu 18.10) and my external screen resolution is all messed up. Instead of the usual 4k (3840x2160), the maximum I can set it with the Display GUI is 1680x1050.
Everything was working fine before that update.
I already try that solution and I can see the 3840x2160 option in the Display menu but it is not changing the screen resolution.
The packages that were updates are the followings:
2019-02-28 08:31:54 status installed libgs9-common:all 9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.18.10.7

After of few hours of scratching my head, I rebooted the computer WHITHOUT the external screen attached, then plug it back in and the 4k resolution was back.
It is a mystery to me how this works.

After of few hours of scratching my head, I rebooted the computer WHITHOUT the external screen attached, then plug it back in and the 4k resolution was back.
