Unable to use two monitors simultaneously (18.10)
I am using 2 monitors:
First one which is my main monitor is connected via DVI to my videocard and the second one is connected via VGA to the integrated graphics.
After installing ubuntu (18.10) I had both monitors working together and properly, but after installing nvidia driver via software & update my main monitor has stopped working and now it's just black screen with blank signal. Changing drivers and manually installing them does not help.
The main problem I need help with is to get monitors to work properly, or at least the main one.
I tried digging some solutions, but they couldn't solve my problem
Some outputs that I hope might be useful:

If you have one output connected to your GPU and one to your iGPU, and your iGPU is enabled in the BIOS for multi-monitor display, you can try to link-up the provider output source with:
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0
Bear in mind, it is still highly experimental, so your results may vary. Had good results with Intel HD Graphics chips in the past.
