As described in the bug report I have observed the following that make
me think that a hardware issue can be excluded:

> All above modes of connection work as expected with the same laptop, dock, 
> and display on Windows 10 (installed as dual boot along side Ubuntu).
> All above modes of connection also work as expected with an older laptop 
> (ThinkPad T470s - Ubuntu 20.04 - kernel 5.4.0), and the same dock and display.
> This leads me to believe that this is not a hardware issue.

My main operating system is Ubuntu and I only use Windows on rare
occasion, so I do not have months of usage under Windows that I can
report on. However, whenever I test with the T14s on Windows the monitor
connection through the dock works immediately and reliably, while it
never works on Linux with the T14s. So, even if there was an underlying
hardware issue somewhere, it would still seem that there is a software
issue as well which makes me not encounter any issues on Windows, while
consistently observing an issue on Linux.

You report that you are using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, I am using Ubuntu 20.10.
The corresponding difference in kernel may well be relevant here. Also,
just to be sure, do you have the same laptop model (ThinkPad T14s Gen 1
- AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750U) or a different one?

Title:
  ThinkPad T14s external display not working on ThinkPad USB-C Dock Gen2

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  laptop: ThinkPad T14s Gen 1 - AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750U
  docking station: ThinkPad USB-C Dock 2. Gen.
  external display: NE MultiSync EA275UHD
  OS: Ubuntu 20.10 - kernel 5.8.0

  Plugging the external display into one of the docking station's two
  DisplayPort connectors leads to the screen resolution changing on the
  laptop's builtin display and the external display waking up but
  showing no picture and displaying "no-signal" after a bit.

  Plugging the external display into the docking station's HDMI
  connector leads to no visible reaction on either the external nor the
  builtin display.

  Plugging the external display into the laptop's builtin HDMI connector
  works as expected. The external display is recognized and shows an
  image.

  I have recorded the output on `dmesg` during the steps mentioned above
  and inserted explanations using `echo MSG >/dev/kmsg`. The output
  follows at the end of the message. I believe `ubuntu-bug` should also
  attach the full log.

  All above modes of connection work as expected with the same laptop, dock, 
and display on Windows 10 (installed as dual boot along side Ubuntu).
  All above modes of connection also work as expected with an older laptop 
(ThinkPad T470s - Ubuntu 20.04 - kernel 5.4.0), and the same dock and display.
  This leads me to believe that this is not a hardware issue.

  The following bug seems related, but seems to have been observed on
  faulty hardware according to its author. Therefore, I decided to open
  a separate bug report.
