Ensure HDMI is enabled on Lubuntu. Use the appropriate command to configure it.
I possess a damaged Acer Aspire One with a broken screen. It functions but I must connect via HDMI or VGA. After installing Lubuntu on another notebook, I replaced the hard drive with the Aspire. Using the other notebook, I can display content on my TV through HDMI by adjusting display settings or running the command xrandr --output --auto hdmi-0 in the terminal, which works. However, on the netbook, navigating menus is difficult due to the cracked screen, and I can’t get the terminal to output through HDMI. When I press Ctrl+Alt+T, a dark box appears, indicating the OS is running. I’ve also attempted to use the working notebook to enter a command into startup, but it fails to save the xrandr command. Anyone have suggestions?
I'm not sure about the exact specifications. Could you clarify if you're asking about DP, mDP, VGA or DVI-D outputs?
the netbook? i'm not sure if it's intel atom 1g ram, lubuntu 17. something (the latest one). it only has one hdmi and one vga, so i don't have an external monitor to test the vga. i think the hdmi port might not be labeled hdmi-0 like on other laptops, but i tried xrandr --output --auto and didn't get any results. maybe the command isn't working correctly.
You might connect a low-cost HDMI to VGA or enter the GRUB command line upon startup and test commands.
If it works on your Netbook, configure SSH on the installation using the other computer and then adjust xrandr settings through SSH.
