[09:07] <olle> How do I check if my laptop hdmi socket is working? xrandr something?
[09:13] <olle> I did just purge primus/optimus to see if it fixed it
[09:14] <olle> Gonna check the bios...
[09:19] <olle> Nothing in bios
[09:20] <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.
[09:23] <olle> Or try with another hdmi cable
[09:26] <olle> Nop, did not help
[09:26] <olle> Urgh
[09:44] <olle> Trying to boot from a previous kernel without success
[10:43] <olle> xrandr listed VGA, so using a vga cable worked instead
[10:44] <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
[14:29] <bruh> i
[14:29] <bruh> Hi
[14:29] <bruh> anyone here
[14:30] <bruh> hello
[14:30] <bruh> anyamosayo
[14:32] <tomreyn> olle: i haven't run into this before. but a system with a vga connector is indeed likely pretty well aged. ;)
[14:33] <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
[14:34] <tomreyn> olle: you could check whether you get bios output to vga, and if so, whether you get tit to hdmi as well
[14:35] <tomreyn> to tell whether it's more likely a hardware / firmware or software / OS issue
[14:38] <olle> tomreyn: Actually i didn't see anything related to output in the bios :d 
[14:39] <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
[14:40] <olle> tomreyn: Oh good one
[14:40] <olle> I don't think I did
[14:42] <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...
[14:43] <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.
[15:00] <olle> tomreyn: But not very powerful ones? Pine64?
[15:02] <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?
[15:08] <olle> tomreyn: I'd like that!
