I’ve found numerous posts with similar issues, although none seem to fit my case. Running Manjaro on a laptop with an external monitor connected through thunderbolt. If I boot with the monitor attached all works as expected, however if I disconnect and reconnect thunderbolt the monitor isn’t found on reconnect (doesn’t show up in ‘Displays’ gui or with xrandr). I’ve tried with various kernels and the issue is the same.
Then, I was following advice from another post and ran sudo inxi --verbosity=8 --filter --width and the monitor came back to life! The fix is only temporary, as long as I leave the terminal window open. What is going on? I guess it might be something to do with permissions, but have no idea how to fix.
Output of sudo inxi --verbosity=8 --filter --width:
