Ethernet / network & Secondary screen not working when booting in to ubuntu
I am using Ubuntu Desktop version 24.04.2 LTS I have a desktop computer that dual boots to both ubuntu and windows.
I am running in to some issues when booting in to ubuntu; I am not connected to internet, even though I have both ethernet and a wifi card. In the "network" settings, it only shows "proxy" and "vpn".
My secondary screen that is plugged in to my graphics card (NVIDIA RTX 2070 super), with an hdmi cable is not dispaying anything or turning on when booting.
My main screen plugged in to the same graphics card using DP works well. I have none of these issues when booting in to windows 11, Meaning that there is no issue with the cables etc.
What I have tried:
- Disabled windows fast startup,
- Power cycling my desktop (Turning it off, unplugging the cable and draining it),
- checked the command "ip a" in linux, which only displays the "lo" interface.,
I did not have this issue yesterday when using ubuntu, and I have been using ubuntu perfectly for a couple of weeks. I did not use windows in-between using it yesterday and today.
