I also would check if it's not a cable problem, ex: a [13:31] shorted cable in pins that don't affect image. only disconnect monitor from cable but leave cable attached to laptop, try another cable. [14:23] I tried another cable. I admit that I never booted while monito was attached before I installed Lubuntu, maybe I have a broken laptop at hardware level. [14:23] I will try with just HDMI plugged in, not attached to the monitor [14:34] I tried, it works fine in such case [15:09] @matkoniecz [I tried, it works fine in such case], so it is the monitor, not your laptop or cable.

[21:06] it is also solved in LO 7 which will be in 20.10.- [21:07] Good to know! [21:08] Weird bug.
