 Sounds like a kernel issue. Please run this command to see what ports
the kernel thinks are connected:

  grep . /sys/class/drm/*/status

** Package changed: xorg-server (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu)

Title:
  External display monitor not recognized

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  xrandr lists four disconnected DPs (though my laptop has zero Display
  Ports) but does not list an HDMI, which is what I use to connect
  external monitor. Cable is sound b/c I have a dual boot setup and
  Windows recognizes the display without issue.

  Using Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
  I expected OS to recognize that I have a an HDMI port or alternatively that something is plugged into it
  OS does not seem to acknowledge same
