Unable to Detect Projector on Linux Mint 19.2
Posted: Tue Aug 20, 2019 10:53 am
by rhb2k9
I have installed latest Linux Mint 19.2 on my new Laptop.
However whenever I'm trying to connect the projector through HDMI to VGA connector, the projector is not getting connected.
As the Laptop is dual boot, i checked on Windows platform, and it works fine.
However on Mint the problem persists.
I didn't face any problems in earlier version of Linux Mint.
Can anyone provide the suitable solution, as this is (mostly) neither related to HDMI port nor the HDMI_VGA connector.
Many Thanks in advance.

Use this command in the Terminal and copy the output: inxi -SMCGx; ls /sys/class/drm; xrandr --prop
Open the Mint Forum reply window and select </> at the top. Press Ctrl+V to paste the copied lines into a code display window.

You have a laptop with graphics provided by an
Integrated Intel +
Nvidia card. Usually the HDMI port is internally connected to the Nvidia GPU, so the Nvidia driver needs to be installed for that port to work. Open Driver Manager and install the recommended Nvidia driver.
After installing the Nvidia driver, open the
NVIDIA X Server Settings utility. If you see the HDMI display is named a
PRIME display, then the HDMI port is connected internally to the Intel GPU.

Your system has
Secure Boot enabled. This prevents the Nvidia driver from loading. Either disable Secure Boot in the BIOS, or if you want it enabled for an added layer of security, then the Nvidia kernel modules that were built during the Nvidia driver installation will need to be signed. Many distributions require modules to be signed with a trusted key when loaded into kernels running on UEFI systems with Secure Boot enabled.
For the instructions on how to do this, go down to the section:
How to install the Nvidia driver with Secure Boot enabled; for drivers installed using Driver Manager, apt or Synaptic in this post:

Thank you Sir.
It worked. I disabled secured boot and it worked perfectly.
