USB-C monitor not detected with nvidia-driver-535 on Ubuntu 22.04

Graphics / Linux Linux

My laptop suddenly seems to be not recognised by the Dell monitors I’m using.
I tried 4 different USB-C cables that i know work for other purposes.
I did not update any software or changed any settings before this.
I did however update all software to try to mitigate the problem.
I’ve been using the nvidia-driver-535 for months now without any issues.
The fractional scaling trick some people seem to be able to do to get it working also does not work.
I will try the Noveau driver just to see if it works right now

Here is some debug output, and I will try to attach the nvidia-bug-report.sh output to this topic.

The Noveau driver also seems to not work.

The upload seems stuck. Please try to unzip and upload.

The USB-C connector is driven by the intel igpu, not the nvidia gpu. The i915 driver reports connection issues and crashes regularly:
80.085134] i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] *ERROR* AUX USBC1/DDI TC1/PHY TC1: did not complete or timeout within 10ms (status 0xad40023f)
Don’t know whether this is a kernel/firmware issue or the connector is simply broken. You might want to try using the liquorix ppa to upgrade to latest kernel.

Thanks for the advice. I ran the liquorix install script.
I’m now on 6.8.7-2-liquorix-amd64
Still no input detected on the monitor.

I’ve decided to ask a question on Ask Ubuntu since this does not seem to be a Nvidia problem?

No, it’s not an nvidia issue. Since you wrote that hdmi also doesn’t work, please create a new nvidia-bug-report.log with your monitor connected to the hdmi port.

Somehow this problem went away after a few more restarts without any other specific actions taken.
So it’s solved, but not satisfyingly.
