ubuntu 18.04 second monitor not working

I have a Ubuntu 18.04, install on legion y7000, with NVIDIA 1060m GPU，of course there is a intel integrated GPU card, but I don't use it. I have three monitors, include two external monitor(through DP-port and HDMI-port respectively) and one internal monitor of LAPTOP. the one not working is VGA monitor through DP-port. internal monitor is also not working, but i don't care much. Recently, I upgrade my GPU driver from 430 to 525 Manually. By below commands.

  • reboot,
  • ctrl+alt+f2 to console, login as root.
  • sudo service lightdm stop( I happen to know my display manager was gdm3, not lightdm after this)
  • sudo apt remove --purge nvidia*
  • sudo systemctl isolate multi-user.target
  • sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-525.105.17.run
  • sudo reboot

before upgrade NVIDIA GPU driver, in Ubuntu setting panel, I close the usage of internal monitor of Y7000, only use two external monitors.

after upgrading, my external monitory through DP-port not working, which is weird. I can see it in NVIDIA x server setting and in Ubuntu system setting panel, use xrandr can also see this screen. but after I switch signal input from others to VGA in monitor manipulator panel, there is only black and no output. I can set join display or mirror display in ubuntu system setting panel, in any way there is no image output in that monitor.
I am currently use gnome\gdm3\xorg\xserver, the software stack is very complicated, that is all I know. I wonder it may not possible be the problem of the new driver version of NVIDIA GPU. support such two monitors would be common.
below is xrandr output

And I try those three monitors in windows10 OS, every thing was fine. So the hardware would be no problems.

Is it worth spending time on 18.04? Ubuntu 18.04 LTS was released in 2018-April (why it's 18.04 given the *year.month* format) with 5 years of *standard* supported life, ie. it's got mere days left? Why not plan instead on the *release-upgrade* or re-install process; as the more changes you make now - the more difficult the *release-upgrade* **may** become in only a few days.

Thank you guiverc for your reply, I use this machine heavily, and there is much software to install if I upgrade to 22.04, so I try to keep it this way.

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.
