Hello last week after long time i finally mange to make some time and do apt update and everything worked so i closed my laptop and went home. On Monday i connected monitor with HDMI and it wasn’t working I started debugging but didn’t really had time to do much. But today i got bit of time and finally did some debug. the monitor works my coworker tested it. In xrandr i can see HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) so system knows about it and i can also see this in aplay -l outputs

i also have VGA which works but i need the HDMI as i have 2 external monitors and one is not enough :sweat_smile:.
So my question is if there is anyone who might know about solution for this. I can provide more info i only need to know what info you need and possibly how to get it.

Thanks for your help.

This is likely an issue that affects the whole Ubuntu base and not just Ubuntu MATE, you should file a Bug report on launchpad against Linux (Ubuntu) using the ubuntu-bug linux command.
There’s a good chance the bug report will go nowhere though if you don’t have a clear path to reproduce.
