Hello! I'm trying to use my Samsung TV as a second screen in Garuda KDE, but it's not working. I put the HDMI and the image is not transmitted to the TV (as if I didn't have the cable connected), but in Windows11 it works normally.
I tested it on another monitor and the same thing. If I force it with Super + P. The notebook screen goes black and the TV remains the same as described above. Then I need to remove the HDMI from the laptop to get the image back.
Does anyone know a solution!?
Hi there, welcome back.
Please provide your garuda-inxi as requested in the template.
In addition to that, if the issue is recent (e.g. after last update), it might be useful to provide the relevant part of your /var/log/pacman.log.
Hi, I don’t know where to find this information “garuda-inxi”, sorry, but I’m a bit of a newbie despite having the account here for a long time.
I can’t say about the update issue, as I installed the system again last week.
Open a terminal, type garuda-inxi and hit enter
Copy the output text (ctrl+shift+c), and paste it in the forum formatted like this

The same info can be retrieved from the Garuda Assistant tool / systems specs.
So?

Sorry, I'll leave it to someone else since I don't use multi-monitors (nor Nvidia).
Actually there is no external monitor listed in the garuda-inxi, so I really don't think there is any point in looking in KDE system settings -> display nor in nvidia-settings (which would have been my first check).
The only thing I can think of is if maybe you can try using a displayport?
Maybe another one 
: you could set in the BIOS to use only your discrete card and see how it goes...
Well... funny that I installed it with the Nvidia settings, but it didn't come right!? Maybe that's the problem, is there a way to install it now or do I need to reinstall the system?
You do have the correct proprietary nvidia drivers installed.
If I remember correctly, the system uses by default the integrated driver. You can use the discrete one with prime-run when launching applications and you should be able to use only the nvidia card with a BIOS setting.
In a previous version that I used I had the option to choose which one I wanted to use, hybrid, integrated and Nvidea. But in this new update it doesn't appear and I didn't find it, so I thought I hadn't installed it. Got a black screen bug here, I'm going to reinstall the system...
Let's see if the problem of the two screens will solve, solving it or not I'll post it here!
I think this was optimus-manager, which is probably not included in the newer builds anymore, in favour of Nvidia PRIME. See also:
I couldn't use that link you sent. I tried to do it and it didn't work...
Sorry, what did you try and what didn't work?
I still believe that checking in the BIOS if you can use only the dGPU could be beneficial. Maybe your cable is connected directly to the dGPU and this could help the detection
Please, no pictures from terminal, post as text.
ok, sorry...
