Hello,
What might be a problem, if chromecast works on another machine but does not work on other? Chromecast device is second generation.
So.. for example I have two different laptops (HP and Lenovo), which both has Solus Budgie and latest updates. If I remember right HP is this one and Lenovo is Yoga 910.
So both have Intel as graphics card, so there shouldn't be differences in graphics drivers.
HP
- Chrome browser in use, chromecast works ok every time and no problems at all
Lenovo
- Chrome browser was in use, casting worked over a year ago (not used much)
- Brave browser in use atm, casting works only on Youtube (I guess Chromecast has native support for that)
Problems on Lenovo currently
- even Chrome browser fails to cast tab or desktop
- when trying to cast tab/desktop (both Chrome or Brave), it connects and TV changes to black screen and then immediately disconnects and returns back to Chromecast desktop showing image slideshow
But...
- I found over a year ago created Solus Budgie Live USB and if booting that and installing Chrome browser, casting works ok on Lenovo (Youtube, tab, desktop, ... everything)
Tried already
- Reset Chromecast --> no help
- lower resolution on Lenovo (4k --> 1080p --> 768p) --> no help
So what is causing these issues? Something related to newer kernel? Something related to graphics? Something related...?
