timokParticipantThe update/upgrade now succeeds without errors. NoMachine has been updated to latest version.
The the Nvidia driver is at latest version (595.71.05) available for this graphic card (RTX 2000).I tried the WaylandModes as suggested, no impact. All 8 displays still black.

timokParticipantThe fix is to upgrade your NVIDIA drivers, there is a new release out. Totally fixes this!
The driver is currently 595.71.05. I tried to run update/upgrade. The upgrade fails on packages nvidia-dkms-595-open and linux-image-7.0.0-15-generic. Full log below. The computer has Kubuntu 26.04 with all other updates. It has secure boot and hard drive encryption on. I do not know if that is related.
sudo apt upgradeGet another security update through Ubuntu Pro with 'esm-apps' enabled:

timokParticipantThe logs were in previous post. Is there some problem with those, do they contain correct information?

timokParticipantWith NoMachine we can view 4 monitors fine, connected to first display card. But if we connect monitors also to second card, all screens are viewed as black.
P.S.
Fixing the typo in original post:
Each display card has 4 display cards. – >Each display card has 4 monitor outputs.May 15, 2026 at 09:11 in reply to: Kubuntu 26.04 black screens when multiple display cards with monitors #55978
timokParticipantThe NVIDIA driver version is 595.58.03
