No display on Ubuntu 21.04 with two display card

TheBuzzer67 · June 3, 2021, 9:33pm

Hi,

I understand that could be answered in other topic but I tried all other topic didn’t resolve my problem.

I do want to run my system on the NVIDIA card and use my Radeon card on a VM.

My system seems to boot on Radeon card, switch it in VFIO as I need for my VM so all boot display disappear but not switch to the NVIDIA card.

similar issue, my ubuntu get stuck on the boot splash screen … I had to remove the driver and switch to the open-source noveau, to be able to boot and use my system - still looking for a solution, as I need the nvidia driver!

I know it is very well documented on the web, but in case is needed - this is the procedure I use to temporary switch to the OS driver:

at boot press ‘esc’ to access the grub interface (press it only once, otherwise you go in the grub shell)
select other options, and reboot in rescue mode
select ‘enable networking’
select ‘root session’
from the root shell in rescue mode run apt-get --purge remove *nvidia* # note: this will remove also packages like docker-nvidia

… the system should now boot, now pray for a driver kernel upgrade that will fix the issue … hopefully, will happen soon

Is there a better solution than removing nvidia drivers?

epifanio · June 14, 2021, 1:19am

I don’t know if this is the case for everyone, but following this discussion: Black screen after install of nvidia driver ubuntu - #175 by remo.fischer

I tried to unplug one of my two DP monitors and I was able to boot with the kernel running the NVIDIA drivers

I still need to test with an HDMI cable … hope that helps as a temporary workaround.

EDIT:
It does work with HDMI

Finally received a Radeon card and it works with both card!

I think that the other card wasn’t compatible with my MSI TRX40 motherboard cause I removed the second card (GPU) and had 02 error that means that no display card working!

Thanks anyway!
