New monitor white screen on boot

ua flag

I recently upgraded my monitors and upon booting into Ubuntu 20.04 I get a white screen with lines of green/purple pixels (see picture). Currently using displayport for both screens, I tried a brand new cord, as well as hdmi. The new displayport cord had the same result, hdmi doesn't produce any visual.

Reference

The monitors work fine when booting into Windows which leads me to believe it's an issue with linux.

  • Monitors are XL2411P by Zowie
  • Display Adapter: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super
  • Processor: i5-9600K @ 3.7
  • Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB with Linux Installed
  • Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 500GB with Windows Installed

Any advice helps.

It turns out it was a driver issue (surprise)

I ran

sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall

then rebooted and it seemed to fix the issue.

Hope this helps someone in the future!

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
