My second monitor has suddenly stopped working after a reboot.
I'm on Ubuntu 18.04 with an OpenBox desktop and an nVidia 1060, using the nVidia 396 driver. I've been fiddling with my display settings a bit because of a different problem and after a reboot, the second monitor says "no signal", and my double-wide desktop has shrunk to a single monitor. I have no idea what I've done!
xrandr reports only one monitor (HDMI-0) despite HDMI-1 also being plugged in:
$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 32767 x 32767
DVI-D-0 disconnected primary (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI-0 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 477mm x 268mm

HDMI-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-3 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
Things I've tried:
lxrandr, arandr, and nvidia-settings all fail to detect it.
I was told xrandr --output HDMI-1 --auto
might reactivate it, but it didn't.
Unplugging and replugging the cables made no difference.
Any help appeciated!
