I have a dual monitor display with Nvidia graphica card. After installing 18.04, I am unable to save the display settings after a reboot. The settings go back to the default. I followed the procedure from Nvidia docs but nothing seems to work.
Does any one have a similar issue?

just in case any one else has this issue

i added a script to my startup applications to apply the nvidia settings at every login.

#!/bin/bash

nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="HDMI-0: 2560x1440 +0+0 {viewportin=2560x1440, viewportout=2560x1440+0+0}, DVI-D-0: 1600x900 +2560+0 {viewportin=1600x900, viewportout=1600x900+0+0}"

This makes my default screen as the HDMI output with the set resolution and the DVI output as my second screen next to my primary.

I was able to get my display settings to persist after reboot by installing the Nvidia X Server Settings application from the Ubuntu software center.

Steps taken:

1) Use proprietary Nvidia Drivers:

• Click the Ubuntu menu button, or windows button if you have one on your
  keyboard.


• Type Software & Upgrades and click the Icon that comes up with that
  name.


• Click the Additional Drivers tab. And select the appropriate Nvidia
  Driver to use, click apply and wait for it to finish.


• Reboot, although it might not be needed.

2) Install Nvidia X Server Settings:

• Click the Ubuntu menu button again.


• Type Nvidia


• Click Nvidia X Server Settings


• Click Install


• Once done installing, set the display settings (again) you would like
  to keep in the Ubuntu Displays configuration


• Save/Apply/Keep settings. Note: you may have to change the settings
  to something else and back again just to get it to save


• Reboot to test

Some steps may not be necessary for others but this is what worked for me. Hopefully it helps someone else.
