USB-C and monitor issue in Ubuntu
by banderas20 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5BNMF)
Hi,
I have Ubuntu installed in a Lenovo P1. I want to connect an external screen. I use an USB-C to HDMI converter, but when I plug in the screen, nothing happens. I am only able to select the laptop monitor.
I also tried by connecting it directly via HDMI with no results.
If I issue "dmesg", I can see the log when I plug the USB connector, but that's all.
The same machine with Windows works perfect with a secondary screen.
Do I have to enable the USB-C port or do something extra?
Thanks in advance!
