Second monitor stopped working after executing dist-upgrade

By Sarah Rodriguez

I'm using a newly installed Xubuntu 21.10 on my brand new ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 GA401QM-K2030T. It has two video cards. One is the integrated on the AMD CPU Ryzen™ 9 5900HX and the second one is a discrete NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060. I also using an external monitor alongside laptop one via the HDMI port. Initially, the setup was working fine, but after executing sudo apt dist-upgrade and restarting the external monitor has stopped working. Could someone give any suggestions on how to resolve this problem?

It seems that this is a problem with NVIDIA drivers. I logged in to a text terminal and type sudo apt remove --purge nvidia* and then reboot. Then I reinstalled the Nvidia drivers.
