I bough a new PC with dual graphics card.After going through the torture of installing Ubuntu and getting the Nvidia drivers to work correctly, I am facing a new issue. Can not get external screen to be detected.
On nvidia-seettings I see there are two options in the drop-down menu:
"X Screen 0"
"Prime Display: eDP-1-1"
If I select the latter I get this message:
"PRIME Displaus cannot be controlled by nvidia-settings and must be configured by an external RandR capable tool."
The native display settings does not show a secondary screen either. I ran this to check:
~$ lspci -k | grep -EA2 'VGA|3D'
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 3e9b
Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. [MSI] Device 1215 Kernel driver in use: i915
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP106M [GeForce GTX 1060 Mobile] (rev a1)
Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. [MSI] GP106M [GeForce GTX 1060 Mobile]
Kernel driver in use: nvidia
I have the latest nvidia drivers installed (-390). I read a few posts on the subject and nothing helped.
To be sure it is not a hardware issue, I ran Windows (dual OS) and the screen launched instantly.
I tried shifting to intel. Tried changing the drivers settings in the "Software & Updates" > "Additional Drivers"
Please advise.
