Hi, I have a laptop that I converted into a Ubuntu server after
removing its broken screen. Now I want to switch it to Ubuntu Desktop,
but I have a problem with the HDMI output. When I connect it to a
monitor, it shows me an extended screen instead of the installation
screen (the one that asks me to try or install Ubuntu). How can I fix
this?

What does it have to do with selfhosting tho? Yes yes i can already
hear it "uh well once its fixed i want to selfhost stuff on it, duh!"

Ask /r/TechSupport /r/Ubuntu /r/LinuxQuestions etc.

It helps posting questions like this on forums where people that might
have experience are. Chances are *someone* on selfhosted has installed
headless linux on a machine with no screen
