Hello,
I just switched over from Manjaro KDE Plasma to GNOME and things are running pretty smoothly. I could never figure out how to get the hdmi port working on kde, but in gnome I figured I’d give it a shot.
Out of the box, everything seems to be working fine, it just won’t let me turn it on!!!
I’m on a laptop with integrated AMD and separate NVIDIA GPUs.
Of note here is that it works perfectly fine over USB-C! If I use a HDMI to USB-C cable, I have no problems. Only with HDMI to HDMI. Which is why I suspect NVIDIA is the problem here. I would just do this, but I’ve only got 1 USB-C port. It also only supports 30Hz refresh then (might just be the cable).
xrandr output looks good:

Any help would be appreciated!

Setting up a dual graphics Intel NUC I noticed that the HDMI ports were hard wired to the Nvidia card. The internal graphics, while supporting dual monitors, were only supplying a signal via the USB bus, so when using a ‘card-on-demand’ mode this may not work correctly.
To check this out try to force the use of the Nvidia card, either via Bios or prime/optimus-manager, then reboot.
Also make sure the cable is working, they are notorious. If you dual-boot, is it working in Win?
To get better help please provide an output of inxi -Fazy
I do dual boot (on two separate internal sdds so they don’t fight), it does work in WIndows.
For some reason, it errors when I try to install gdm-prime, so optimus manager is a no-go. (I wish it would work, it would make life easier):
gdm/meson.build:43:11: ERROR: Dependency lookup for udev with method 'pkgconfig' failed: Pkg-config binary for machine 1 not found. Giving up.

Check if you have pkgconfig installed, if not install it and try again. (When running meson .. "ERROR: Pkg-config binary for machine MachineChoice.HOST not found. Giving up. " · Issue #534 · libfuse/libfuse · GitHub )
UPDATE: Before installing anything have a look at this first; same laptop, same problem and fixed:
It turned out that the HDMI output was connected to the Nvidia card, but as far as I understood, Manjaro runs in “hybrid graphics” mode by default, and to get the external monitor work I had to turn nvidia-only mode on.
Reddit - Dive into anything .
Thank you so much!! That reddit post is amazing!
Installed envycontrol, switched the mode from hybrid to nvidia, and restarted. On restart, the second display automatically came on working, without needing to tweak any settings.
Damn that is what I call a quick and easy solution. Thanks for the help!
UPDATE: Interestingly enough, when I set it back to hybrid and reboot, it still works. huh.

For some reason…
…you haven’t installed base-devel which is required for using the AUR (Arch User Repository).
Please see: Arch User Repository - Manjaro
I don’t have that installed which I will do, but I have installed other AUR apps, so I don’t think it’s that.
