i'm not totally new to Ubuntu/Linux but still far from being a pro!
Actually i run Ubuntu 22.04 (installed via ARMBIAN) with Gnome 42 on my Pinebook Pro ARM-Laptop:
$lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
Release: 22.04
Codename: jammy
$ uname -a
Linux pinebook-pro 6.1.30-rockchip64 #3 SMP PREEMPT Wed May 24 16:32:53 UTC 2023 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux
$ gnome-shell --version
GNOME Shell 42.
I've tried an Dell Monitor with USB-C-Support (U3421WE) an DELL-USB-C- Dockingstation with a Lenovo-Monitor and a Lenovo Thinkpas Universal USB-C-Dock (40AY) with an Fujitsu Monitor.
The beahviour ist always the same: USB-Hub is Working (Mous, & Keyboard etc.) but Display is not:
The U3421WE display,: " No USB-C Signal from the Divce". The other ones yust say: "No input Signal".
It makes no difference if it is hotplugged or plugged in befor boot also not flipping the USBC plug.
Her ist (as an example) some information i imagine to be helpful:
