Having Issues with Dual Monitor Setup, HDMI monitor not detect

Hello everyone, I'm experiencing some issues with my Arch Linux environment. I use dual boot, and the problem is that it no longer detects the second monitor, although it used to. I was using the KDE Plasma 6 desktop environment, but suddenly dual monitor stopped working. My theory is that it could have something to do with the dual boot configuration because I moved some things around to free up space from Windows and assign it to Arch, and since then it stopped working. I switched desktop environments to see if that was the issue, and now I'm using LxQT, but it still doesn't detect the other monitor. The cable is working fine as it detects the second monitor in Windows.

Re: Having Issues with Dual Monitor Setup, HDMI monitor not detect

The HDMI output is most likely wired to the nvidia GPU but it doesn't show up in xrandr (and nvidia-smi, but that's b/c of the old GPU)

You either unselected the nvidia GPU for X11 or power it down w/ something like bbswitch.

Re: Having Issues with Dual Monitor Setup, HDMI monitor not detect

I've already activated the nvidia_drm.modeset=1 but I haven't blocked the other thing. How do I do it? It detects the HDMI, but when I connect it, the monitor doesn't activate.

The configuration
sudo nano /etc/default/grub

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Arch"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=3 quiet nvidia-drm.modeset=1"

sudo cat /sys/module/nvidia_drm/parameters/modeset

It should be nvidia_drm.modeset=1 (with an underscore, not a dash).

Re: Having Issues with Dual Monitor Setup, HDMI monitor not detect

nvidia-drm.modeset=1 on the cmdline should™ block the "other thing" (and underscore or dash shouldn't matter) check e.g. 

sudo dmesg | grep simpledrm

which should show that it's not trying to load simpledrm due to the modeset parameter.

But now that I've actually read the journal that parameter is not applied currently. Did you forget to regenerate your GRUB config after the adjustment?

Post the two commands seth asked for as well.

Re: Having Issues with Dual Monitor Setup, HDMI monitor not detect

It detects the HDMI, but when I connect it, the monitor doesn't activate.

a) what changed? Updated xorg log?
b) 

xrandr --output HDMI-1-1 --auto

You can use https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/x-on-resize to automatically configure the output when attaching it.

Re: Having Issues with Dual Monitor Setup, HDMI monitor not detect

That's not the output of "Qikk", the "kk" part is missing and it's impossible for you to not get "pacman -Qs nvidia" output if you can "pacman -Qi nvidia-390xx-utils"
Typo'd anything there?

Re: Having Issues with Dual Monitor Setup, HDMI monitor not detect

https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/linux-lts/
https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86 … s-headers/

And it's working properly if the weird error there doesn't show up in your xorg log and the nvidia driver picks up the device.
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-390xx-utils doesn't indicate any issues w/ 6.8, though.

If nothing else helps you could try to bind the nvidia driver to the busid, 

Section "Device"
        Identifier "NVS5200M"
        Driver "nvidia"
        BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
