Linux drivers messed up after i installed windows on a separate drive

[MiszS]

I installed windows 11, and patched it with reviOS on a 256GB sata SSD, all while my main m.2 ssd wasn't plugged in, but now when i plugged in both of them, the nvidia drivers (1050ti) on linux are behaving weirdly, it doesn't recognize the second monitor, and the main 360Hz monitor is locked on 77Hz. I'm using the 535 driver, and tried installing the 545, but it gave me an error, but when i reopened the driver manager, it shows that it works. I'm using linux mint 21.3. I also got 2 errors when trying to boot into both windows and linux.

Try installing 545 via command line

sudo apt install nvidia-driver-545

Post any error messages in full here.

Are you booting windows via grub?  Seems grub trying to boot windows of a device that does not exits. Ensure os-prober is enabled and update grub.

As for the acpi messages, nothing to worry about and should not cause issues booting. Can reduce log level during boot to not show

Having windows and linux on separate drives should not cause any conflicts. with each other.

Try running the following commands

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt install -f
sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo apt autoremove

Then try installing latest nvidia driver again

 

Failing that I would fall back to the tty (Alt + F2 - or any other function key up to F11). Login to the tty and run the following set of commands

sudo service lightdm stop
sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-*
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-545
sudo reboot

Disable Fast Startup in Windows. It's a feature that puts Windows into a sort of hybrid hibernation and it sometimes screws with other operating systems that boot on the same hardware.
