Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS - Intel iRISxe Graphics - No HDMI Output

You need a more up to date distro than Kali.
Try Solus, or Arch(if you can handle it), or maybe Void ( if you are prepared for a learning curve)

Unless @najkarika has cli knowledge and cli confidence stay well away from Rolling distros they sound so inviting yeahup and not always are but can be lots of work,
Even OpenSuse Tumbleweed is not trouble free.

To suggest one or two disros is fine when including AHS as Neville has, to suggest other distros is futile unless you have the same machine and hardware !

When looking at static distro I rumaged through the docs/articles and comments and reviews on Distrowatch,
but only for one long day
Download and verify any disro that looks fit the tasks needed, have a good break away,
Go back to the machine a day or more later
Test the distros,
Very IMPORTANT = on paper make a list of
Distro - what works - what doesnā€™t = and on each one went to their forum and got an idea of what the user help forum is it good bad unfriendly or donā€™t bother answering question promptly.
Also notarized on paper.

Yes thatā€™s two full days so how much time have you (cough umm) fixing this ?

I went and did those things mentioned above
When I bought this i9 desktop they had only been on market less than three months,
I never knew about kernel compatibility, Soon learnā€™t. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Distros change, disappear and the only thing I can say for sure is just focus on getting a distro that matches your hardware not popularity.
Research !
The software is all too easy to sort out for the average person.
Are you ready to explore search and then be rewarded with an awesome machine and distro that work properly out of the box,
I did and learnt so much and itā€™s rewarding.

Fair enough comment.
By far the easiest rolling release is Solus. Thats why I suggested it. It has never given me trouble over about 3 years of updates. It coped with my new graphics card recently.
Doesnt mean it will fix @najkarika 's issue, but it is worth a try.

There is no i915.conf in Kali :smiley:

Thank you gays for your help. I think we tried everything.
Today Iā€™m going to try Solus, and I think thatā€™s it. No more Distros, for now.
But I think, itā€™s not going to work, because what I saw till now, thatā€™s HDMI is working with older Kernel, not with new ones.
I need Monitor because of Coding. I need to learn Coding in Lazarus IDE. :smiley:

:rofl: Thank you gays for your help. :rofl:

That may be because the older releases of Mx and Ubuntu use X11, while the new releases use Wayland.

You could install the older release, and try to fix the WiFi., or get an ethernet dongle.

With what looks to be a bit of a situation
New hardware, older kernel works, X11, WiFi works or HDMI works not together :exploding_head:

Have an idea if mixing and matching all different components is the way to go _ then_try >

DistroWatch - Bedrock review

This is a one man distro, they say he really tries to resolve computer issues on his distro

and instead of trying different distro (frustrating) that donā€™t work, use the technology,
read the review, goto Bedrockā€™s homepage and see what he can do.

Thats what I would look at and not only could you get his help also get suggestions from here at Itā€™sFoss since we know the background story to your machine.

Read it. Fascinating.
I wonder how one would go installing 2 releases of the same distro in Bedrock.
For example @najkarika could have Ubuntu20 as the primary stratum, and Ubuntu22 as a secondary stratumā€¦ then could have hdmi and wifi together. It might be complicated.
It might be resource hungry. How does it handle updates?

Having read the review and earlier had visited the site today
Having a distro with diff versions could not see that being a problem
Would have to double check and ask at Bedrock user forum.

Canā€™t see that as complicated, it can run Debian and Arch together
Now that is an achievement
Resource hungry it isnā€™t, because all it installs is the bare bones of the distro so in this case I was reading (not distrowatch) he had four or five different distros installed and the overall size of the combined comparable to something like Manjaro,
Manjaro by the way wonā€™t work properly on Bedrock this bloke was writing but Arch will, go figure that one out.
also there are some problems with some, only some not all systemD apps work 100%

If I had a spare machine I would definitely have it installed, for serious play um work.

I might try putting it in my multiboot machine when I get time.
I dont think it is the solution for @najkarika ā€¦ too complicated
Best bet for @najkarika is use Ubuntu20 to get the hdmi working and fix the wifi with an ethernet dongle.

While you are doing all this reading and research, can you report back to us on how Bedrock achieves this mixing of distros?
I cant see it mixing filesystems. It must put each distro in a sandbox or a VM or a Docker container or something similar.
How does it do it?
Might be best as a new topic

End of 3rd paragraph from the above

Edit :
If anyone needs more info on Bedrock apart from the good Homepage and links,
Browser search = Duck it -Reviews for Bedrock _ turns up soon interesting articles.

Before you do, does this article be of any use or help

Iā€™m running PopOS 22.04 (ubuntu 22.04) and itā€™s on Kernel 6.x and it DOES NOT use Wayland - the default is still X11ā€¦ Did you try PopOS?

Iā€™ll dig out a HDMI cable sometime (when I can be arsed) and see how it goes - I expect it will ā€œJUST WORKā€ā€¦ The hardware is a Thinkpad E495 with Ryzen 5 CPU (not Intel) and Vega 8 graphics (i.e. Radeon GPU on the CPU die, i.e. an ā€œAPUā€).

BTW - Iā€™m not gay, but my boyfriend is :smiley:

:smiley: - damn Iā€™m hijacking the OPā€™s thread - sorry dudeā€¦

Iā€™m sure you will be forgivenā€¦

Maybe. A new kernel means a new i915.ko module.
That may help, but the only way to know is to test it.

I wonder if @najkarika is up for a bit more work ?

More work. Not today. I can do it tomorrow.
