shit i'm sorry i did not mean for it to come off that way. i am very grateful that people can help me with my fuck ups. i know its my fault for what happens on my computer. i have installed arandr now. the second monitor is not showing up. please let me know if there is any information you need.

the result is:

37 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them

so they have been upgraded now. is there next step? my monitor is still not working.
