I have a dual-boot (Windows 10) Acer Aspire A715-71G Notebook with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile GPU and I am trying to connect it with additional monitors to extend the view. When I plug in the HDMI cable of the additional monitor to my laptop and restart my computer, the additional monitor works perfectly until I enter my password. After I enter my desktop, the additional monitor stops working. Inside the Displays menu, no additional monitor can be found or selected.
Further system info:
- 18.04.1-Ubuntu
- 5.3.0-53-generic
- x86_64
- NVIDIA-SMI 440.26 | Driver Version: 440.26
Thank you for your time
