There is a video here [this video] that fixed it for me. The short version for Ubuntu 19, is that I had to open "Startup Applications" and add a new item with the command: nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="nvidia-auto-select +0+0 { ForceFullCompositionPipeline = On }"

As discussed in the comment, I post the answer. To solve the tearing problem, add this following command to be run at startup: nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="nvidia-auto-select +0+0 { ForceFullCompositionPipeline = On }" To do so, you can search for 'Startup Applications Preferences' and add the command to startup commands by pressing the Add button, pasting the command in the Command field (you can add the name you want in the Name section) then press Add . Or you can add that command to your Crontab by: Run crontab -e on the terminal. If it is the first time you open Crontab, you'll be asked to choose an editor, choose nano for example (which is number 1) then press Enter . Add

I'm running Ubuntu 16.04.06 LTS with two 1920x1080 monitors connected (one over HDMI and another over DVI). I have terrible vertical screen tearing on both of the monitors. There are many helpful videos which address vertical tearing with a single monitor, but none for more than one: [LINK] [this video] Solutions are very similar, and involve configuring the NVIDIA settings with the ForceFullCompositionPipeline enabled. The following solution works for a single monitor ONLY : nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="nvidia-auto-select +0+0 { ForceFullCompositionPipeline = On }" Can anyone suggest how to apply this fix simultaneously to both monitors?

I was working on another ubuntu problem [this video] , which required me to add a command to my startup list. Now, when I try to boot up, my OS gets stuck at this screen [LINK] . Any way to fix this? I added a command relating to nvidia drivers. This [LINK] is the problem which I was working on. Edit: Ubuntu version: 18.04
