Hi all of you. I have connected another monitor on a labtop with intel graphic card via HDMI and it worked fine.But now I can't make any screen to work.I have done the dpkg with the cable plugged in, so it's fully updated.It tries to boot in low graphics but tells me I have to configure it manually but how do I do it :?:

Hi,

unplug the 2nd monitor before switching on the PC, boot into recovery mode and active "Network" (network cable required), drop to "root" and enter the following command:

Code:: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -f

Reboot your PC with Ctrl + Alt + Del, do not click on resume!. See if your PC boots normally again and use the "Add Monitor" (detect displays) function in the System Settings manager > Hardware > Screen display.

If you are feeling adventurous, you can add the Intel PPA for Ubuntu 12.04 using the commands here:

You can do that in recovery mode from the root shell!.

Hope it helps.

Regards Wolfman
