I recently decided to install Ubuntu 18.04 on an old computer of mine (HP Pavilion G6) and everything went smoothly until the computer restarted.
Since my laptop is quite old, the monitor doesn't work, so I hooked up a second monitor to be able to use it. During the install, I was able to use the Fn+F4 shortcut to change my primary monitor, but after the computer rebooted, the shortcut stopped working, and the only thing I see is a purple screen.
So I really want to know if there is a way to switch monitors, and if not, how to login using only the keyboard because I'm basically blind.
Thanks!

I finally found a solution.
After trying everything I could think of, I decided to take a completely different approach. I completely disassembled my computer, and found the problem with my computer screen (The screen was unplugged from the main board). So I fixed it, reassembled my computer and started it back up. Everything worked perfectly, I was able to log in and use it normally.
