Recently, I watched some content with the laptop connected to television via HDMI cable. Everything worked correctly, without any complications.
However, today when you turn on the device, the LED lights came on, but the screen didn't. In fact, the screen is black, but with no image at all. After some tests, I decided to connect the laptop to the TV and the Zorin OS 16 Core charging screen appeared.
But, the login screen does not appear complete and, due to this, I cannot enter the password to access the system. I imagine that if I have access to the system, I can switch the image from the TV to the laptop display, but I don't know how to do it via terminal.
I think I read somewhere you are best booting the Notebook first then connect your TV and use the Fn+ F# keys to change display output to external monitor.
Unfortunately, I tried to do this a few times. When I press Fn + F5, Fn + F6 and Fn + F7, I can decrease the brightness, increase the brightness and turn off the laptop screen.
However, precisely the function to switch between the TV and the laptop screen (Fn + F8) does not work. I think it may have to do with the monitor resolution, but I'm not sure.
Just to confirm if we are talking about the same terminal, I am accessing this terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + F2 on the login screen. I will try to apply what was recommended in the topic you sent in this terminal, okay?
In case I can't, do you know any way for me to eliminate the need to log in by typing the password? I believe that if I can access the system directly, I can solve the problem through the system settings.
