[SOLVED] no hdmi out (Failed to probe LSPCON)

i found this issue to be similar to
https://forum.manjaro.org/t/no-hdmi-out … ptop/45121
but nothing really changed anything.

dmesg:

[    3.017833] [drm:lspcon_init [i915]] *ERROR* Failed to probe lspcon
[    3.942836] [drm:lspcon_init [i915]] *ERROR* Failed to probe lspcon

[ 1582.260048] [drm:intel_dp_detect [i915]] *ERROR* LSPCON init failed on port B

i also noticed that this is similar to another issue, but that wasn't doing me good
LSPCON doesn't work in ANY situations.

journalctl:

May 24 12:03:28 yorat kernel: drm_dp_i2c_do_msg: 14 callbacks suppressed
May 24 12:03:29 yorat kernel: [drm:lspcon_init [i915]] *ERROR* Failed to probe lspcon
May 24 12:03:29 yorat kernel: [drm:intel_dp_detect [i915]] *ERROR* LSPCON init failed on port B
May 24 12:03:32 yorat kernel: [drm:lspcon_init [i915]] *ERROR* Failed to probe lspcon
May 24 12:03:32 yorat kernel: [drm:intel_dp_detect [i915]] *ERROR* LSPCON init failed on port B

maybe me trying to fix it through kernel parameters isn't doing me much, as lspcon in the beginning isn't even being probed at all,

No.

But...   We invite you to tell us more.  These are active forums, so silence is a sure sign there is not enough information.  Tell us what you have tried since your first post.  Or tell us what you have read or learned about the problem.  Where you have tried to find information.

Also, You did not describe your question.  You referred us to another page on another site.   I, for one, will not follow such links.   Tell us the problem in your own words.

Tell us -- specifically -- what commands you ran to cause those messages to appear in the logs.

Re: [SOLVED] no hdmi out (Failed to probe LSPCON)

Please also post the full output of dmesg and list what kernel versions you have tried that show the issue.
Edit:
Please also list what displays are connected along with the connection type each is using.

Re: [SOLVED] no hdmi out (Failed to probe LSPCON)

this issue is ongoing (fixed by using linux-drm-tip-git) with https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/issues/2875, but i will still give information as with linux 5.13 this might be fixed.

# uname -r -v

these will pop up after i plug in the hdmi

another thing is i have a seperate issue, but thats onhold because its fixed by blacklisting elan_i2c

Re: [SOLVED] no hdmi out (Failed to probe LSPCON)

If it is fixed by https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke … 6881110890 that is in 5.13-rc1+
You can check using linux-mainline from Unofficial_user_repositories#miffe or building the package from AUR.

Re: [SOLVED] no hdmi out (Failed to probe LSPCON)

yes, its fixed in 5.13.0-rc4-1-mainline, video, sound works and everything
thank you for letting me know of this, another question is that will this fix be pushed into stable linux 5.13?
if the answer above is correct, i will just mark this as solved.

Re: [SOLVED] no hdmi out (Failed to probe LSPCON)

rc-4 is the abbreviation for release candidate four.  Everything from this release candidate will be in 5.13 plus additional fixes.  Unless a fix added between rc-4 and release breaks this fix it should work in 5.13.
5.13 mainline will be the base for the 5.13.Y stable series which again will contain additional fixes back ported from mainline.  So hopefully all being well the first stable release containing the fix would be 5.13.1.

Re: [SOLVED] no hdmi out (Failed to probe LSPCON)

Yes edit the first post and prepend [SOLVED] to the title.  If it is too long you might have to shorten is a bit.

Re: [SOLVED] no hdmi out (Failed to probe LSPCON)

For me this issue has actually _appeared_ recently, about 1-2 weeks ago, not more. After the kernel upgrade.

Running 5.14.6-arch1-1 now, everything up to date. On Lenovo T15g Gen1 laptop, with integrated Intel card + Nvidia prime. Not connected to the external monitor. The following messages pop up on the console every time the machine wakes up:

[10118.013359] [drm:lspcon_init [i915]] *ERROR* Failed to probe lspcon
[10118.013435] [drm:intel_dp_detect [i915]] *ERROR* LSPCON init failed on port D
[10119.277861] [drm:lspcon_init [i915]] *ERROR* Failed to probe lspcon
