Unable to run Ubuntu Desktop GUI on Xilinx's ZCU104

us flag

I am trying to boot a Ubuntu Desktop 20.04.3 LTS image on my Xilinx ZCU104 platform. While I am able to login using the serial port, I am unable to view the GUI on my monitor. I see some boot commands and then the screen goes black. I have a few questions -

  1. Which port of the ZCU104 gives the GUI output feed? The ZCU104 has 2 HDMI ports and 1 display port. I tried using all of them but nothing worked out for me, except seeing a few bootup commands on one of the HDMI displays. I have a HDMI monitor. Should I buy one with display port?
  2. Why am I seeing the boot commands and then the screen goes black? If the display or the cable are bad then I should not see even this right?

Let me know if anything else is needed to debug this issue.

There is no Ubuntu 20 desktop image, Ubuntu has products that use the *year* format (they are *snap* only and intended for headless operation such as Ubuntu Core 20) and different products that use the *year.month* format which are *deb* based, and include server & desktop products, such as Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Desktop). Your tagged 20.04 is a different product to a Ubuntu Core 20 which is not intended for desktop use. 20 != 20.04

I seem to have miscommunicated the name of the image I am using. I edited the question accordingly. I am using the image provided on this site and the link clearly says it supports Xilinx ZCU104: https://ubuntu.com/download/xilinx I contacted the Xilinx support and it is mostly related to me using an HDMI monitor and not one with a display port.

Unfortunately you're on your own here because the image that you linked to is not an official Ubuntu version from Canonical.

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.
