I have been enjoying dual monitors using Xubuntu with Nvidia driver 340.58 for some time now. However, suddenly one of the monitors stops working. In nvidia-setting panel it just appears as "Off" and I couldn't change any settings.

And the result of xrandr says DP-1 was not disconnected but has no modes.

Any idea what might cause the problem?

It seems that this is typically a connectivity issue. I experienced similar symptoms that went away after re-attaching the cable at the back of the monitor. In other cases, a new or alternative cable should be tried before anything else.
