I ran "Software and Updates" / Additional Drivers. I updated to the Nvidia proprietary, tested driver and rebooted.

I use three monitors.

When I rebooted it threw an error which I have lost and it messed up my monitor setup.

I timeshifted back to a save I created just before the update. Didn't fix the monitor.

I reverted back to the original Nouveau driver and still no monitor change.

Finally after working with "Monitor Settings" I got everything back to normal.

I was looking for a Nvidia driver solution to my bluetooth problem which is how I got to "Software and Updates".

I guess my point is I am really skiddish to try to update.

Perhaps you can tell me if I did something wrong procedurally?

Thanks Much,

"Software and Updates" is something you installed, likely gnome-software, it doesn't come with Bodhi. But should work with Bodhi.

Three monitors sounds complicated tho. Your inxi shows you are now using nouveau, not nvidia. It also shows you have a pretty modern nvidia gpu, so I would think for ideal performance you would want to use the nvidia driver, and use the nvidia setings gui to mess with it.

Did you try nvidia-driver-535?

You raise an interesting point. "Software and Updates" is gnome.
Are you saying we should stay inside what Bodhi includes?

The three monitors work really well. I have 5 virtual work spaces for each monitor. Each independent of the other. Pretty cool. I use the system for trading so I use 8 virtual work spaces across the three monitors at a time.

The system is a new build I finished about a month ago. That is when my Ubuntu / Bodhi learning began.
I tried "using NVDIA driver metapackage from the nvidia-driver-535 (proprietary, tested". I read something that said that performance is not optimum with the Nouveau drivers. With the problems I reverted back to "using x.org X server -- Nouveau display driver from server-xorg-video-nouveau (open source)".

When I tried the tested driver besides the monitors not working correctly, I lost all icons and gadgets and virtual windows.

I guess there is something to be said for the fact that I was able to get everything working correctly.

No absolutely not saying you should stay inside what bodhi includes. Bodhi is meant as a minimal base and you can install whatever you want! I guess I only mentioned that cuz I wasn't 100% sure what "software & updates" referred to, and was guessing its something from the "gnome-software" package, incase someone (or myself) wanted to try to understand what you're saying better.

Anyways I have no experience setting up 3 monitors. I do know nouveau and nvidia drivers do behave differently. But if you were able to set it up under nouveau, presumably u sing bodhis arandr monitor settings gui, same kinda thing should (in theory) work with nvidia's driver too. But I know installing the nvidia driver also provides a nvidia settings app, which if I were you I'd look into.

After my last post I started thinking along the lines you mentioned. I didn't know about the nvidia settings app.
I am a little inclined to accept that this system really works well as is. Maybe it is time to just accept that and take a break.

I have an older box that I use as a media player. I'm tired of dealing with the problems that windows 8 is giving me. So I want to rebuild that with Bodhi. Simple - only streams to a hdmi connected tv through a home theater system.

FYI setting up the monitors wasn't too difficult. Half of it was trying to figure how the monitor setup app worked and moving the hdmi monitor connections around until I got the monitors in the order I wanted. The mother board accepts as many as four monitors.

When I tackle the nvidia problem again I'll post the results here.

Thanks Much,
