Black screen when disconnecting second monitor


ribsies

Recommended Posts

I have seen all of the many black screen posts and issues but I havent seen any that fall under my use case. Any fixes suggested in those posts dont do anything.

 

I am using the Vive Pro with the HP Z VR Backpack. This backpack has a dock that it plugs into before putting it on the backpack gear. I have a monitor plugged into the hdmi port on the dock. 

 

Here is what happens.

 

I have the backpack computer plugged into the dock and the vive pro is plugged into the backpack using a mini dp - mini dp cable. I restart the computer and steam vr automatically boots up on start. Everything is working fine but when I disconnect the computer from the dock, which has the 2nd monitor plugged into it, the Vive screen then goes black with the audio remaining. If I plug it back into the dock, the headset remains black.

 

If I then were to restart steam vr it of course works again, and any further removing / inserting into the dock has no issues.

 

Very strange behaviour. It seems to be some issue with the different display ports.

 

I have a 2nd example that acts differently.

 

I also have a usb-c monitor that is used for portability. With this plugged into the dock instead of the hdmi monitor, if we do the same thing something different happens. After restarting the computer and auto starting steamvr, if the computer is removed from the dock there is no black screen. But when the computer is put back into the dock the black screen then appears. After restarting steamvr it gets fixed, but the same issue then happens every time after that, on removal no issue, on putting it back, black screen.

 

I have tried these different monitors in the ports that go straight into the computer rather than through the dock and the same issues happen with both monitors.

 

Any tips/ideas?

URL Shortener service

Unfortunately, Google finishes the URL Shortener service from May 30, 2018! That is why My365.cloud includes a fresh and far
better URL shortener Freemium support on offer.

However, what would be the most significant five benefits of Weblink Shorteners?

1. Ability To Track The Performance

URL shorteners provide information. All shortened my365.cloud hyperlinks do so, and this information is easily accessible. By
tracking the success of hyperlinks, a company can comprehend what their audience is participating with and adapt their plans
accordingly.

2. Uses Less Your Precious Characters

If it comes to Twitter particularly, saving each possible character is crucial. Getting your message across in 280 characters or
less may feel as rocket science sometimes. Now try doing it using a link that's 85 characters. Seriously, try it. It's almost
impossible! Also think of this optimal tweet length is somewhere near 200 and 240 personalities and you will have the ability to
find the problem.

3. Promotes Sharing

Which one seems more comfortable to share?

We're all expecting to get as many shares as possible while we post. So why is it that we want to create the procedure for sharing
any more difficult than it has to be?

4. Folks Are Used to them

We'd recommend you do not, but in regards to shortened URLs, linking the majority makes complete sense. Shortened URLs have become
so comfortable that many people do not even listen to them. But, an URL sticks out like a sore thumb, and a few readers may even
consider it unprofessional.

5. People today love to shortened connections on media.

Due to this, using shortened links will raise your click-through rate. It is one of the very straightforward changes you can make
for your posting strategy to enhance the effectiveness. Not convinced? Check it out yourself and assess the analytic data! See,
having the capacity to track your shortened link's achievement is currently coming in handy.

Last Thoughts

If it's to do with social media, shortened URLs are the only kind of URLs that you need to share. If you are not already using
them, it is time to begin. The beauty of communicating using https://my365.cloud is that your posts look a whole lot cleaner and
more specialist. On top of this, analytical tracking will instantly begin to track all interactions, by pressing your short link.
Give it a try for free and see for yourself!

, This is a pretty hardware specific question. Given that our staff doesn't have readily available access to this PC it isn't one we can easily reproduce and debug. At a glance, my guess would be that this could be related to HDCP. By restarting SteamVR, it will reboot the HMD, issue a new handshake, and generate new keys. 

 

Another idea is that when you remove the PC from the dock, you could be triggering some sort of switch in the power management profile such as which graphic processor is preferred.
