I just installed 19.04. On 1804 the display worked well. However in 19.04 an odd thing happens. The ext display says there is no signal. When I activate “Displays” or any of the “Settings” the window disappears as if it is displaying on the ext monitor but the monitor does not show the window.

Any suggestions?

thanks

New one one me too. I have had issues with the initial setup but never this disappearing act.

Might have been an automatic software update that resolved it.
