Changing the screen resolution on 12.04

12.04 display parallels macbook-air
11,842

In a terminal:

sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

Search for the line with quiet splash, and change it to quiet splash nomodeset. Save the file.
Then:

sudo update-grub

Reboot your VM.

In most of the cases this will help.

    I am running 12.04 within Parallels 7 on an 11" MacBook Air.

    I'm trying to set the display resolution to the native 1366 x 768 but Ubuntu doesn't list this as an option. How can I add the correct resolution to the options?

      See also this question. I made a comment to my answer regarding setting the geometry from EFI BIOS. This may help.

    That should be "quiet splash" instead of "quiet spasch".

    This did not work for me. But this answer did: askubuntu.com/a/256269/1574
