Bug Description

When an external display is connected to my laptop, running Ubuntu 22.04, the display is detected and I am sent to the login screen. After logging in again, the display is not running, although the primary laptop display works fine. The external monitor is looking for connection in that moment, which it never founds.

The bug is tested on two Samsung monitors: S24R350FHUXEN and S22F350FHU.

Thanks for the bug report.

I believe this is a known problem with the mutter Wayland backend. It was mentioned by the developer just this week: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/2127#note_1373187 Although that bug was closed when the user's main problem was found to be an unrelated crash.

affects:	xorg (Ubuntu) → mutter (Ubuntu)
summary:	- The connection with HDMI to an external monitor fails after the login - screen. + Wayland sessions can't use external monitors that are connected to an + Nvidia GPU with the proprietary driver

As a workaround, on the login screen try changing the session type before you enter your password. It's the icon in the bottom right corner of the screen.

If anyone wants to look into this bug, the issue is with META_SHARED_FRAMEBUFFER_COPY_MODE_SECONDARY_GPU. It only supports open source (Mesa) drivers at the moment.

I'm happy to say that in the current version of the nvidia driver (nvidia-driver-510) the problem seems to be fixed. I can connect external monitor and it works flawlessly. Thank you for the help!

That's great, but can you verify it's a Wayland session you're still using? Or has it switched to Xorg?

But even when finished it will be a little slow. We're waiting for Nvidia to update their driver such that the GBM API doesn't fail when it's the secondary GPU. Until then we should probably default to Xorg so that all monitors work with reasonable performance.

Hi Daniel,

I tried it on my DELL XPS 9510 which is I+N platform but I didn't meet this issue on Jammy daily build (with dist-upgrade).
Did you change anything? e.g. upgrade gnome-shell or mutter to 42 beta?

I've just tested with jammy again and it definitely fails with Nvidia-510. The external monitor plugged into the secondary (Nvidia) GPU doesn't light up for Wayland sessions, while the primary monitor (Intel) works fine.

Although you need to have the monitor plugged in before logging in to even get that far. If you try hotplugging a monitor on the secondary GPU in a Wayland session then you get bug 1964037 instead.

Do you have a PPA could try your patch like this https://gitlab.gnome.org/vanvugt/mutter/-/commit/8354289650aa3ae0c531820d3a95251b627f9eb4 ?

The crash is bug 1964037 but it's the same fix for this bug. I'll propose a distro patch to mutter soon because it seems fairly common that people plug a monitor into their hybrid laptop.

In this case, do we have any ticket for nvidia to fix the GBM issue?
We would like to highlight this to nVidia.

I haven't got to that yet. It will require a different kind of bug report to the Nvidia forums detailing which GBM function is failing, without mentioning these mutter symptoms.

Is there any way to charge NVIDIA for a solution?

Ubuntu has already released a solution, it's only a more performant solution that requires changes from NVIDIA. They are aware of the issue as I've seen it on their list of missing features in Wayland sessions.

in fact it has been fixed, but the lag persists which makes it impossible to continue with wayland when using a secondary monitor.
I really appreciate all the support you have provided.

Won't Fix for the Nvidia drivers because the problem is properly fixed. The remaining issue is just a performance one: bug 1970291

Changed in nvidia-graphics-drivers-510 (Ubuntu):
status:	Confirmed → Won't Fix

I have the same problem...

And mine is worse - picking Ubuntu on XOrg has no effect.

ThinkPad P1 Gen3 has all HDMI/USBC monitors connected to NVidia only.

So I cannot use external monitor in any way shape or form. This is new, btw.

XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP=ubuntu-xorg
XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11

$ prime-select query
nvidia

EDIT: Scratch that... Forced an update and moved to proposed and it started to work.
