Screen Resolution Settings not Working after NVIDIA Driver Update












3















driver update nvidia



I've installed the nvidia-driver-415 through Software & Updates for my Dual GTX 970s. After restarting, my screen resolution is now stuck at 1024x 768 pixels. I've got two monitors, and now only one is working.



display settings



I also notice that my PC makes a lot more noise now. There are also some weird glitches with overlapping windows.



Here are my system specs:

I would really appreciate your help! I am tired of reinstalling Ubuntu just to fix this silly issue.



By the way: The issue persists even when setting the driver back to X.org S server - Nouveau display driver from xserver-xorg-vidoe-nouveau (open source).

  • We're going to need more details of your hardware configuration, so run sudo lshw and paste the details at the bottom of your post (by editing it) in a code block. Also, please, don't just post screenshots of your config (or at all, unnecessarily), it slows down parsing your question, and means that others with a similar issue won't get a text match when doing a google search. I get that it is faster for you but it reduces the efficacy of your question for you, too.

    Okay I dit it. And you're totally right, sorry.

    – Florian

  • No apology necessary. The short-term quick-fix reality will likely be to reinstall Ubuntu and live with the generic driver, I'm afraid.

  • Isn't there at least a way to revert the changes?

Looking for an answer drawing from credible and/or official sources.

















  • We're going to need more details of your hardware configuration, so run sudo lshw and paste the details at the bottom of your post (by editing it) in a code block. Also, please, don't just post screenshots of your config (or at all, unnecessarily), it slows down parsing your question, and means that others with a similar issue won't get a text match when doing a google search. I get that it is faster for you but it reduces the efficacy of your question for you, too.

    Okay I dit it. And you're totally right, sorry.

  • No apology necessary. The short-term quick-fix reality will likely be to reinstall Ubuntu and live with the generic driver, I'm afraid.

  • Isn't there at least a way to revert the changes?

driver update nvidia



I've installed the nvidia-driver-415 through Software & Updates for my Dual GTX 970s. After restarting, my screen resolution is now stuck at 1024x 768 pixels. I've got two monitors, and now only one is working.



display settings



I also notice that my PC makes a lot more noise now. There are also some weird glitches with overlapping windows.



Here are my system specs:

I would really appreciate your help! I am tired of reinstalling Ubuntu just to fix this silly issue.



By the way: The issue persists even when setting the driver back to X.org S server - Nouveau display driver from xserver-xorg-vidoe-nouveau (open source).

driver update nvidia



I've installed the nvidia-driver-415 through Software & Updates for my Dual GTX 970s. After restarting, my screen resolution is now stuck at 1024x 768 pixels. I've got two monitors, and now only one is working.



display settings



I also notice that my PC makes a lot more noise now. There are also some weird glitches with overlapping windows.



Here are my system specs:

I would really appreciate your help! I am tired of reinstalling Ubuntu just to fix this silly issue.



By the way: The issue persists even when setting the driver back to X.org S server - Nouveau display driver from xserver-xorg-vidoe-nouveau (open source).

  • We're going to need more details of your hardware configuration, so run sudo lshw and paste the details at the bottom of your post (by editing it) in a code block. Also, please, don't just post screenshots of your config (or at all, unnecessarily), it slows down parsing your question, and means that others with a similar issue won't get a text match when doing a google search. I get that it is faster for you but it reduces the efficacy of your question for you, too.

  • No apology necessary. The short-term quick-fix reality will likely be to reinstall Ubuntu and live with the generic driver, I'm afraid.
