viscid apex
Heyos. I got a problem. I just got into linux and am already faced with a brick wall.
My displays arnt getting recognised and only 1 is on. The other one doesnt work. Ive tried every recommended nvidia driver and then some newer ones. The displays kiiinda worked using the open source driver but after i installed the newest driver now not even that one works anymore.
Installed the newest driver from the nvidia website and the rest using the mint software manager.

what is the rest of your hardware?
What version of Mint and kernel?
That card has been around for a while so it should be working fine on all three displays. Are you certain any integrated graphics are turned off in the BIOS? If you are on the 6.8 kernel there are issues with a fake display. Using the Xanmod kernel fixes it.
Also when you bring the system up, make sure all the monitors are powered on first. What does the Nvidia Settings application show?

Ima go to sleep now. Tmrw ima send all the specs in here.
Thx for ur time.

My main monitor is from LG, 3840x2160
2nd one is a samsung monitor 1080
As far as i am aware i got no integrated grapics card
My monitors are on when the system starts up
this is all that nvidia settings shows
Also i tried using xanmod but that broke even more and my pc didnt even boot
rocky vessel
sorry i was away we must be in way different tine zones, its early morning here
viscid apex
Np am just happy im getting help
rocky vessel
its just odd how this isn't working at all for you
is the card working correctly in windows?
this is a well supported card
are you there?
severe canyon
As far as i am aware i got no integrated grapics card
you do not, intel F series cpus dont
odd that nothing is showing in nvidia-settings
it feels like nvidia-settings is installed properly but the propriatary drivers failed to install
rocky vessel
yeah, something is borked
viscid apex
is the card working correctly in windows?
Working like a charm on windows
rocky vessel
has your linux mint system been installed for very long?
viscid apex
just when using linux ye. It cant detect my displays and just uses the main one
viscid apex
has your linux mint system been installed for very long?
Its been installed literally yesterday
rocky vessel
i would consider doing a fresh install
just start all over again
something went wrong
viscid apex
i would consider doing a fresh install
Ye kinda my thought too
Ima just do that
Dont have much on there anyways
rocky vessel
install LM
viscid apex
Linux Mint?
rocky vessel
then update the drivers before you do anything else
viscid apex
Lm is what?
viscid apex
Kk
rocky vessel
install linux mint -> update the drivers ->reboot -> update everything else - > reboot -> install other stuff
just like its in the order on the Mint Welcome screen
probably a kernel got updated and it didn't pick up the nvidia modules
viscid apex
K ima do that now
rocky vessel
that is why you always want to update the drivers first, then everything else
viscid apex
Mhm
If the problem isnt fixxef after that i was considering just switching to ubuntu. Ya think that would work a bit better?
severe canyon
maybe try a newer kernel before switching
maybe the latest nvidia drivers dont play nicely with kernel 5.15
rocky vessel
i am pretty busy ATM, do you want to help with this?
the only reason i suggested POP!_OS is its a better version of Ubuntu
but if you want to butt in you can take it from here
viscid apex
the only reason i suggested POP!_OS is its a better version of Ubuntu
Better in what way?
A friend of mine also recommended pop os
Hmmm i think i am an idiot. I just read this... i didnt do that the first time........
5mins of reading vs 4h of brute force....
severe canyon
is it working with secure boot disabled?
viscid apex
i enabled secure boot, enrolled the MOK and now my 2nd monitor works while using the closed source nvidia driver
viscid apex
...it really was just that...
meager scaffold
I'm pretty sure I have the same issue
I tried all drivers in the drivers manager and had and undetected monitor but what I'm confused about is how I already had MOK enrolled and Secure Boot on but no change
turned off secure boot, still nothing
meager scaffold
5mins of reading vs 4h of brute force....
Same here but couple o' days of brute force
They weren't lying when they said linux uses you as the resource
meager scaffold
this is all that nvidia settings shows
I even have this exact same issue. I was watching a Chris Titus video and using ChatGPT to look for an "X Server Congifuration" thing and no luck
meager scaffold
i enabled secure boot, enrolled the MOK and now my 2nd monitor works while using...
wait did you fix it?
rocky vessel
5mins of reading vs 4h of brute force....
so real 😭
meager scaffold
I fixed it
rocky vessel
uhhh no im good :)
viscid apex
wait did you fix it?
Ye all good now
MOK enrolled and now even my games work
Like a charm
Lesson learned, 5 mins of reading docs > 4h of brute force.
I will do it again tho
meager scaffold
I will do it again tho
Nah I'd Win Mentality 🫂🤝
