All 4 installed systems are seeing the same hardware.
I cant see any hardware associated with hdmi output, unless it is the vga compatable controller
I can see the network controller
It is strange that either hdmi output or wifi works, but never both togetherā€¦ I cant see how wifi setup would interfere with hdmi setup

Note that wifi networking only works with the latest Ubuntu (22.04) or with MX21"ahs". That indicates that drivers for your wifi interface are only available in those two recent releases.
Therefore , you may have to use one of Ubuntu22.04 or Mx21"ahs", and try to work out how to fix the hdmi output.

The hdmi output is probably a function of the graphics interface firmware

> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Alder Lake-P Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)

It is an Intel on-board graphics interface.
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/platforms/details/alder-lake-p.html
It has a displayport and an hdmi outlet.
Does the displayport output work?
Does your laptop have a displayport as well as an hdmi port?
I recently bought a new graphics card , and when I installed it, the hdmi port produced a pink screen , but the displayport output was normal. So a non-functional hdmi outlet happened to me, and I solved it by buying a displayport cable. Is that a solution for you?

If not we need to look at finding the name of the graphics card firmware package and attempting to install an older version from one of those two older releases.

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005520/graphics.html
so let us try lspci -k
and see if we can get an intel driver name
and then try
lsmod
and see if that name appears.
Then we might be able to unload that module and load an older one from the earlier release.

Q
Do you @najkarika have any access to Ethernet cabled internet connection ?

Edit Addon, hour later had to search my notes to make sure.

When running the distros again if your up to that,
Would you open either Htop or Btop.
check for excessive ā€˜wps_supplicantā€™ activity ERROR should beā€™ wpa_supplicantā€™ ( any more that 5mb to bit higher) not a good thing,
that would indicate bottlenecking of data because of the WiFi connection, that might be why the HDMI and or WiFi work alone and not together.
Check the sound output (check for popping and or split second drop in sound output of music) that is another indicator of data bottlenecking
If those things show up then with the Intel system itā€™s a reason to try Ethernet cabled internet connection.
Makes no difference what distro you use, I never found a distro where the problem did not exist.

Laptop has NO Ethernet cabled connection.
Than I need to bay USB-C to Ethernet adapter.

26

Before you go to the hassle of buying adapter
try the idea above yes do that on WiFi and check for wpa supplicant ( I miss typed the above)
Checking the wpa_supplicant will give you information that IF you need the adapter.

If the wpa_supplicant does not show excessive use in Htop or Btop then the solution would have to be something else Hmm ?

27

Are you saying that the data bus may be overloaded?
Why would WiFi in particular cause that? Why would ethernet not also cause it?.. its on the same bus.
It would perhaps explain why it interacts with hdmi , especially onboard graphics.

28

@nevj I not sure why but going from WiFi to ethernet fixed the sound output problems I had few years back and if I connect to WiFi
the sound goes kaput with split second drops in music every 15 seconds to five minutes, donā€™t know why, the computer tech friend has fixed many computers that way,
why is this so ? .
It should not be that way !

Exactly, but experience tells you something different.
I hope @najkarika can do the ethernet experiment and see.
I think it should be a usb3 ethernet dongle, yes with usbc plug

30

No no do it while on WiFi to see if wpa_supplicant revs out
Only then try on ethernet
If wpa_supplicant behaves then itā€™s back to square one
AKA no idea from the east coast.

Yes, you are right, test if Wifi is misbehaving first.

32

It sounds like something from the old days when you would move a jumper to change which IRQ or DMA a device was using so they didnā€™t interfere with each other. Thatā€™s been decades ago though.

@najkarika
wpa_supplicant ist at 0,0% CPU 0,1% RAM

Is this in an installed system in which the Wifi works?

35

This is a brand new laptop
Huawei MateBook D 16 2022 i7 16GB+512GB (RLEF-X)

I think it might be a coincidence that Wifi stops working when HDMI worksā€¦ just a matter of which driver versions are in which OS release

Even if @artytux is right about bottlenecking, it may still be an errant driver causing it.

36

This is installed Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS

As you said:

OK, Your graphics card driver is called i915

and it is loaded as a module into the kernel

There are two things we might try from here

  • The easy one. Look for the configuration settings for the graphics card and see if we can make it work for hdmi by changing some configuration setting.
    I dont know where the config files are. Will have to check.
  • The hard one. Find out what Ubuntu package supplies driver i915, Find out what version of that package you have, and try and tell Ubuntu to remove the current version and install an earlier version. I dont use Ubuntuā€¦ I dont know how to do that in Ubuntu.

I will see if I can find out where graphics card config settings are made. They may be in files, they may be set in kernel boot parameters.

I will see if I can find someone who knows about Ubuntu package management.

Could you have a look at
dpkg -l
and see if you can find a package name and version for i915
try
dpkg -l | grep i915
dpkg -l | grep video
dpkg -l | grep graphics
it will not be easy. Other way is to use google and look at Ubuntu package lists.
Yet another way is to use apt-file
apt-get install apt-file
apt-file update
apt-file search i915.ko
What that does is search for a package containing the file i915.ko which is probably the kernel module filename

Will get back to you

Neville
