Dual monitors not working on Ubuntu 21.10 - Nvidia GPU on ROG Zephyrus M15

in flag

my laptop is not recognizing any external monitors over HDMI after updating from Ubuntu 20.04 to 21.10. (I also tried screen sharing on Google Meet and got a black screen when sharing the entire monitor, probably related)

I tried running Nvidia 470 and 495 drivers. Main graphics driver shows up as Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics (CML GT2). The laptop has a i7-10750H and an RTX 2070 Super MaxQ.

$ uname -r
5.13.0-21-generic

I am tech savy enough to understand most responses but fairly new to ubuntu, so please advise with step by step instructions when possible, since I've run into issues before with statements like "update the kernel".

On an unrelated note the laptop runs the fans constantly and is pretty hot on idle, I'd appreciate any suggestions on any tools I should be getting .

Thanks!

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
