I have just installed KODIubuntu. it runs much smoother but no audio. I have installed it on a Sapphire Edge HD2 mini. checked the settings in system - audio settings - Audio output, I've got 3 options 1.Default, 2.HDA Analog, 3.HDA NVidia HDMI
No matter what one I choose no audio.
Please help me, I wanna use Ubuntu not windows.

Assuming you want to use the HDMI output, you could try and install pavucontrol, go into a desktop environment and make sure that audio works there.
So open a terminal and type "pavucontrol"
You usualy have to disable the analog output alltogether in the configuration tab and choose the right output option for your HDMI device.
In my case that'll be "HDMI/DisplayPort 2"
Best of luck.
Tycho.

Well, since you cannot read anything in the desktop, I advise you to type ctrl+alt+F1
I'm still assuming that you'll be using the Nvidia/HDMI hardware and installed the right nvidia driver.
This will get you into a black login screen on tty1
Now login and type "sudo nano /etc/X11/ xorg.conf"
In that file you should see a section beginning with something like this:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Default Device"
Driver "nvidia"
Now right under this Driver "nvidia" line, add a line like this:
Option "DPI" "100x100"
Save the file and reboot. That should make your desktop readable.
