Nvidia driver won't load - Ubuntu Win10 Dual boot












0















Problem / Symptoms:



I have Win10 / Ubuntu 18.10 dual boot on my Asus GL703GS laptop which has worked great for months. However, after connecting / disconnecting HDMI cord while in Win10, Ubuntu can apparently no longer use the graphics card.




  • It lists the display as "Unknown Display"


  • Resolution is set to 800x480 and no option to change it.


  • On Win10 the GPU works and it had worked on Ubuntu for months prior so I don't think it's the hardware.

  • I suspect Windows has locked up some display driver resource that persists after reboot.


Already tried:




  • Cannot reinstall Nvidia drivers in Ubuntu, says "nvidia-uvm" is already loaded and it cannot be unloaded. Tried reinstalling through the Nvidia .run file, Ubuntu automatic driver update, etc, no luck.

  • Tried uninstalling Nvidia drivers and removing all traces of it in Win10 and reinstalling it. No point in this process changed anything for Ubuntu, same issues there.

  • Tried many tutorials / answers related to xrandr but none of them work at all.

  • No results from any lsof nvidia commands.


Machine Details:




  • Output of lspci | grep NVIDIA


01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP104M [GeForce GTX 1070 Mobile] (rev a1)




  • Output of ubuntu-drivers devices
