| olle | How do I check if my laptop hdmi socket is working? xrandr something? | 09:07 |
|---|---|---|
| olle | I did just purge primus/optimus to see if it fixed it | 09:13 |
| olle | Gonna check the bios... | 09:14 |
| olle | Nothing in bios | 09:19 |
| olle | Booting in a manjaro system using xfce4 also didn't show the external hdmi monitor | 09:20 |
| olle | Weird, worked last week. Computer is old tho. Perhaps time to buy a new one. | 09:20 |
| olle | Or try with another hdmi cable | 09:23 |
| olle | Nop, did not help | 09:26 |
| olle | Urgh | 09:26 |
| olle | Trying to boot from a previous kernel without success | 09:44 |
| olle | xrandr listed VGA, so using a vga cable worked instead | 10:43 |
| olle | Old laptop, so not completely unlikely there's actually a physical damage to the hdmi socket at this point. | 10:44 |
| olle | Still, wonder if anyone else had this issue | 10:44 |
| bruh | i | 14:29 |
| bruh | Hi | 14:29 |
| bruh | anyone here | 14:29 |
| bruh | hello | 14:30 |
| bruh | anyamosayo | 14:30 |
| tomreyn | olle: i haven't run into this before. but a system with a vga connector is indeed likely pretty well aged. ;) | 14:32 |
| tomreyn | maybe check the hdmi socket for dust or anything which could get in the way | 14:33 |
| tomreyn | there's also #hardware which might have better suggestions | 14:33 |
| olle | Hmmmmm | 14:33 |
| olle | tomreyn: yea thanks | 14:33 |
| olle | Maybe some missing service start too | 14:33 |
| tomreyn | olle: you could check whether you get bios output to vga, and if so, whether you get tit to hdmi as well | 14:34 |
| tomreyn | to tell whether it's more likely a hardware / firmware or software / OS issue | 14:35 |
| olle | tomreyn: Actually i didn't see anything related to output in the bios :d | 14:38 |
| tomreyn | olle: i mean whether you get to see output on the externals creen while you're on the bios setup utility | 14:39 |
| tomreyn | that would help you test | 14:39 |
| olle | Hm x11-common is not active | 14:39 |
| olle | Running sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall too | 14:39 |
| olle | tomreyn: Oh good one | 14:40 |
| olle | I don't think I did | 14:40 |
| olle | But also perhaps too old laptop | 14:42 |
| olle | Sigh. I don't want to buy a new one. T_T | 14:42 |
| olle | They didn't release M1 or M2 for desktops yet, did they? | 14:42 |
| olle | And without that pesky OS... | 14:42 |
| olle | https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2023/everything-ive-learned-building-fastest-arm-desktop | 14:43 |
| olle | "128 core CPU" Ha! | 14:43 |
| tomreyn | there are ARM laptops not sold by apple. | 14:43 |
| olle | tomreyn: But not very powerful ones? Pine64? | 15:00 |
| tomreyn | olle: i don't have an overview really. but this is also the wrong place to discuss it. we can meet in #hardware and i could try to get a better idea and share it with you if this helps? | 15:02 |
| olle | tomreyn: I'd like that! | 15:08 |
| xubuntu | ih | 16:52 |
| xubuntu | hi | 16:52 |
