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?

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.
