I have just upgraded to 18.04, and all of a sudden my HDMI is not connecting.

Everything was working fine, before the upgrade. And I have no idea on where to start debugging. Anyone else has similar problem or an insight on how to fix it??

possible solution




  1. boot into earlier kernel (4.13 in my case). couldnt login due to unknown issues.

  2. reboot into the latest kernel (4.15, installed by 18.04). hdmi detected :)


background:
I migrated from 17.10->18.04 (kubuntu). on installation completion restart, booting to kernel (4.15), hdmi is not detected (xrandr shows hdmi-1-1 disconnected) .
searched around, didnt find any solution (laptop is dell 3450 latitude, nvidia geforce 830M graphics card, intel onboard graphics card)

Try:



xrandr --addmode HDMI-1 1366x768
xrandr --output HDMI-1 --mode 1366x768 --right-of eDP-1


I have the same issue and in my research I've found this potential temporary solution (the above commands need to be re-run after reboot), but in my case it fails with:



xrandr: Configure crtc 1 failed


But it might work for you.

    I had a strange problem with a monitor.
    Plugged in HDMI into notebook (thinkpad l580 with ubuntu 18.04 mate) - it was not recognized by xrandr (shown as disconnected).



    Plugged in HDMI into another monitor while still plugged into the notebook. After plugging in inlet connector into the monitor it worked.



    So I pulled all cables from the first monitor, plugged in HDMI from notebook, after that plugged the inlet connector into the monitor ... and it worked correctly

              Plugged in HDMI into another monitor while still plugged into the notebook. After plugging in inlet connector into the monitor it worked.
