I booted from the install USB stick. It came up in nouveau, so looking
for nvidia in installed/used driver only showed me the nouveau info.
Since reinstalling VirtualBox worked I decided to reinstall the nVidia
driver. I looked at:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1054954/how-to-install-nvidia-driver-in-ubuntu-18-04
for instructions and followed them.
I started with
sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
Then
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers
sudo apt-get update
and then
sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver-390
After a reboot my old two scree setup returned. nvidia-settings shows
that I'm running 390.129. I am happy.
Now to copy the current stuff I did this week on ENU-1 over to ENU-2,
and then switch the boxes again.
Thanks to all for your support.
