Installed Budgie DE in Ubuntu and now no output from gpu.
Only getting video output from the motherboard. It did this with Budgie on top of stock Ubuntu and with the Budgie "flavor" freshly installed.
I have an Intel A310 in an HP prebuilt, so that's probobly the issue.
Some info about what graphics are on board vs dGPU are needed.
My guess is the iGPU is being detected first, and the A310 is then not considered.
Edit: actually, if my hunch is true, go into the BIOS and set the dGPU to be preferred, or disable the onboard graphics.
That option isn't available. In fact no video will output from the gpu until the os loads. It does output through stock Ubuntu.
Run
lspci -nn | grep -Ei 'VGA|DISPLAY'and post the outputIt does output the Budgie logo through the gpu for a split second while booting
Okay, so both adapters are present and drivers loaded. This is a configuration issue with Budgie's setup then where it's preferring one display over another.
Pretty sure this is the solution: https://discourse.ubuntubudgie.org/t/where-is-gui-to-change-graphics-from-nvidia-to-intel/5593
I tried what they were talking about but could't figure it out. I tried Mint and had the same issue, I reinstalled stock Ubuntu and it's working again. The strange thing is that on Budgie and Mint it would show my second monitor, which was plugged into the gpu in display settings.
Also, i'm not sure who was downvoting you, but it wasn't me.
Then stick with what works.
