I am currently on my laptop in dual boot Windows 10/Ubuntu 18.04. It has an HDMI output that I can use on Windows to connect a second monitor.

But on my Ubuntu boot, the HDMI output doesn't seem to be recognized and in the settings, I can't add another screen.

Settings Screen

Is there someone who knows what's the problem and how I can solve it ?

Thanks

  • You have a Nvidia but you didn't install drivers. That's the problem. –  May 13 '19 at 10:39
  • Done @Marmayogi – Elex XVII May 13 '19 at 11:38
  • @GabrielaGarcia This is a NVIDIA driver or I am wrong ? https://imgur.com/w0MkntJ

    If not, how can I see what driver is installed ?

    A 1050ti needs driver version 418 or newer which isn't available in the 18.04 repositories. You need to add the graphics drivers PPA and then install a correct version. Older versions do not support the card and that's the same as not having it installed. –  May 13 '19 at 11:46
  • I followed this : https://askubuntu.com/questions/61396/how-do-i-install-the-nvidia-drivers

    Is this good ? : https://imgur.com/BYlUD4N

    Do I need to connect another screen to see the settings saying I can add another monitor? because nothing changes on this window : https://imgur.com/XWDNMYe

  • Please edit your question and post output of the following commands: 1. mokutil --sb-state 2. test -d /sys/firmware/efi && echo efi || echo "Legacy(bios)" 3. echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE 4. dkms status 5. lsmod | grep nvidia and 6. sudo ubuntu-drivers devices. Also Restart your computer and reach BIOS Setup screen by pressing del key. Then disable secured boot. Also please upgrade Motherboard BIOS firmware to the latest version. – Marmayogi May 13 '19 at 16:12
  • Done @Marmayogi. I have a problem with secure boot because I don't have the password but I didn't configure it... – Elex XVII May 13 '19 at 20:44
  • Command dkms status says that you have latest Nividia 430 installed in the system but this driver is not used. You must disable secured boot in order for Nvidia to function. Did you attempt to disable? Was there any problem? Please reply. Thanks. – Marmayogi May 13 '19 at 21:11
  • I am really busy these days, so I will try it as soon as possible, thanks – Elex XVII May 20 '19 at 09:30
  • Hello, I disabled the secure boot, try reinstalling the nvidia 430 driver (it tells me to choose a password and use it on reboot, which I did) BUT I still don't have an option on the Linux settings screen to add an ohter screen (Screen 1) when the driver seems to work (I have all the information about the card in the NVIDIA X Server Settings application: its current temperature, etc) (Screen 2) ||||||| (Screen 1 : https://i.imgur.com/4aTi4c6.png) (Screen 2 : https://i.imgur.com/9hNwpKN.png). Do you know why ? – Elex XVII May 22 '19 at 20:30
