Hello ,

Thank you very much for replying to me :)

Indeed my first post did not include too many details. I have a Dell E6520 laptop, and i use 1 x HDMI and 1 x DisplayPort output through a Dell Port Replicator. It was working perfectly before the Ubuntu upgrade.

I tested:
Ubuntu with XFCE4
Ubuntu with Unity 2D and 3D
Ubuntu with Gnome classic
Xubuntu
Ubuntu with xubuntu-desktop

All of the above attempts failed in the same way. Nvidia-settings freezes when i try to configure second monitor in TwinView.

The nvidia driver i use is installed through Additional Drivers. I tested both available drivers, "current" and "post-release updates" and both behave the same.

From the nvidia-settings I can find out:
NVIDIA Driver Version: 280.13
Server Version Number: 11.0
Server Vendor Version: 1.10.4 (11004000)
NV-CONTROL Version: 1.27
Screens: 1

I did not find anything unusual in the logs when i checked. But i will re-check and return with the log output once i re-test.
