Hello,
Background
i was trying the last week to play and install some stuff, that would solve the brightness problem on my laptop. it was not working. so i think after installing sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall i had a huge problem with the display. it was flickering at the logging screen and after that. i tried a lot of stuff and at the end it worked. i really can’t remember how it worked.
The problem
after that i could not connect my two extra monitors to the laptop properly anymore. sometimes they were black, sometimes working but without any interacting. at the end and after trying a lot of things i decided to delete ubuntu completely from the laptop with the boot folder and the disk volume and reinstall it again. still not working.
now i have two extended monitors, one through HDMI and one through USB-C. Both do not work through ubuntu and are not recognized. Both work great on windows 11.
I have tried many things and nothing has worked for me.
Nvidia logs are attached.
