I have been using my Ubuntu 22.04.2 machine for a fairly long time without issues.
All this time I had a very old monitor that has 1080p resolution at 60Hz.
That old monitor was connected to Intel CPU's (11th gen) integrated GPU via DisplayPort.

Recently I changed to a new monitor which is capable of 4K at 144Hz.
I had set its resolution to 1440p and 120Hz.

But whenever I power on the PC then I am able to see Ubuntu OS/Kernel loading, but then the screen blanks (all I can see is a black screen) and I get a monitor's message about a lost signal.
(Note that I passed the phase of GRUB.)

So I disconnect the DisplayPort cable and then I connect it again - which makes the screen to appear without issues.
Conclusion: The issue isn't with the Graphic Driver (I don't need to update this).

I don't want to re-connect my DisplayPort connection every time.
I prefer to understand what is the issue and fix it, such that every boot sequence is properly displayed on the monitor.

I had read several resources online (URLs referred below), but I don't think that these are necessarily related to me issue, except maybe for the GRUB entry options which replaces "quiet splash" with "nomodeset".
Also I don't want to change anything "just to try if it works" because it might break something.

I prefer to understand what is the issue in my case - for example by reading an error in the logs - and only later after verifying the issue - then I will apply its solution.

My GPU driver is - according to "lspci -vv":

"Kernel driver in use: i915"

Is there something I could check to understand the root cause of this issue?

  • Replace the changes you did to your grub config with the original settings, run update-grub, check again. When it fails tell the exact contents of /etc/default/grub – Luuk Aug 02 '23 at 17:27
  • @Luuk Which changes to grub? I didn't do any changes to grub configs for a long time. Is there a specific file you want me to show? Thank you. – David Aug 02 '23 at 17:37
