My HP Pavilion g7 is not detecting external monitor. It is running Ubuntu 13.04
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I have confirmed that both the cable and monitor are working perfectly. I get No signal and No Display when connecting my Laptop to an external display.
The cable is VGA and the person using the computer before me said it was working fine.
product: HP Pavilion g7 Notebook PC (QE124UA#ABA)
vendor: Hewlett-Packard
version: 0691120000204610000620100
width: 64 bits
capabilities: smbios-2.7 dmi-2.7 vsyscall32
configuration: boot=normal chassis=notebook family=103C_5335KV G=N L=CON B=HP S=PAV X=Null sku=QE124UA#ABA uuid=35434431-3339-3158-3959-441EA1E2865E
P.S. I've tried different working cables and monitors. So it's not a monitor issue.

It's not uncommon for things to stop working in Ubuntu (touch pads, monitors, wireless cards) after a kernel update. This seems likely since it apparently worked for the previous owner.
Roll back your Linux kernel to the previous version through the Grub menu and try again.

Have you enables the external display in Ubuntu?
usually laptops have a display switching button.
Why don't you try that?

Sometimes the BIOS needs configuring, for example "LCD and analog RGB" instead of "autodetect".
On some laptops a monitor is only detected if it's present at power-on.
Some laptops have a keyboard shortcut such as Fn+F4 or Fn+F7.
Your can also try entering :
xrandr --output VGA1 --auto
xrandr --output VGA1 --off
xrandr --output VGA1 --auto
Also ensure that you have the latest driver for your video card.
