Ubuntu won't detect second monitor on HDMI

So, as the title says, my Ubuntu doesn't detect my second monitor on the HDMI port of my laptop. I know it's not a hardware problem, since it does work perfectly on my Windows (dual boot).
It did work when I first installed Ubuntu 18.04, but after updating my kernel this issue popped up.



I have searched for possible solutions, but none I've come across so far seem to fix it.



I'm using an Nvidia GTX 1060, these are the outputs of



xrandr:



Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192
eDP-1 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 194mm
1920x1080 60.02*+ 60.01 59.97 59.96 59.93
(Plus a whole bunch of other resolutions)


sudo lshw -c display:

Any help? If you need more info, just tell me which command I need to execute.



Thanks in advance!

  • Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! Add the output of uname -r, seems to be a kernel issue. Try to use an older kernel by selecting it at the grub menu. Did you try xrandr --auto.

  • Thanks! I added the output in the original post. xrandr --auto doesn't seem to fix it.

  • Update: it works now! I deleted all the Nvidia files, added the ppa repos and installed a later version of the drivers in tty.
