Ok I see what's happening now. The dpkg command tells me the fix is installed, but it seems to be only for Unity3D, not for Unity2D. And I'm using Unity2D since Unity3D is heavily slowed down with ATI cards using the fglrx driver. Moving windows is chunky. I logged back in with Unity3D and the launcher is now on the correct screen. Unfortunately I have to use 2D because the graphics are too slow in Unity3D with my card.

Hi Daniel, I'm using 11.10 with an ATI card (Radeon HD 3650) and I'm having this issue. I installed the fix from your ppa, but no luck. Basically, the launcher is always on the left screen (as specified by xrandr) and the --primary flag (this is my way of defining the primary monitor) of xrandr is ignored by unity. And I would like my rightmost external monitor to be the primary screen. Any ideas on this matter? Would benefit really a lot from it.

Joost, please run this command to confirm you are running the PPA version and to gather useful info: grep UScreen ~/.xsession-errors And attach the output of the command here. With drivers that have proper xrandr (all except NVIDIA), the preferred way of changing the primary screen is in the Gnome Displays control panel.

A fix is available in ppa:vanvugt/unity, https://launchpad.net/~vanvugt/+archive/unity ** Description changed: WORKAROUND FOR 11.10: - None available right now. + None available. But an early fix is available for 11.10 in + ppa:vanvugt/unity, https://launchpad.net/~vanvugt/+archive/unity WORKAROUND FOR 11.04: There are two ways to configure the primary monitor in Ubuntu 11.04... Permanent workaround (requires logging back in again): Edit ~/.config/monitors.xml, find the monitor you want the launcher to display on and change: primaryno/primary to: primaryyes/primary Now log out and log in again. Temporary workaround (no logout required): Open a Terminal window and... 1. Run xrandr to find the NAME of the output you would like to make primary. 2. Run: xrandr --output NAME --primary nohup unity --replace ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: Binary package hint: unity In my particular configuration I have an external monitor hooked up to my laptop on the left of the laptop display. The unity bar is ending up on the laptop display though making it in the middle of the two monitors. This makes it quite difficult to activate the bar with a full screen application open on the laptop (hitting the upper left pixel of that monitor without going over). I think it would make more sense to make it configurable which monitor the bar ends up on, or at least look at the orientation of the monitors when determining where to put the bar.

If you're using the NVIDIA proprietary driver then the primary monitor (the one the launcher appears on) is chosen by the TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder option in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, which I think you change by ticking the primary monitor box in the NVIDIA control panel.

Thanks Daniel for the PPA. I'm using unity=4.24.0-0ubuntu2b1vv1 and it's doing the job. Except for a little bug. I have 2 monitors : one left and one front (the primary). In CCSM, i configured the Hide Launcher item to Never so that the launcher is always visible on the left of the front screen. Now, if I click (and hold 1 second) on an application icon of the launcher (in order to move it inside the launcher for example), then strangely, the icon smoothly moves to the left of the left screen. The icon come back to the launcher on the front screen whenever I move the mouse or I release the button.

Hmm, on second thoughts that's not the same as the bug I've seen. Although that bug is probably only visible when the fix for bug 742544 is applied, we should still treat it as a separate bug. Because the launcher/icon code is quite separate to the code changed to fix 742544. There may still be yet more parts of Unity which make the same bad assumption that the launcher is always on the left-most monitor. But they should be treated as separate bugs because the symptoms of each will be subtly different, and so will the fix. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/742544 Title: Launcher is shown on the wrong screen in some multi-monitor setups To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/742544/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 742544] Re: Launcher is shown on the wrong screen in some multi-monitor setups
Well one thing I can think of is the dodge animation will probably look kind of weird when not on the leftmost monitor. I know the Gnome panels used to have a problem where auto-hide would cause the panel to hide by sliding into another monitor's view. Maybe instead of a sliding motion, it should be more of a flipping motion, as if it were a flat piece of glass on a hinge attached to the monitor edge. That would probably be a design issue, but it would only apply when the launcher can already be moved to a different monitor. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/742544 Title: Launcher is shown on the wrong screen in some multi-monitor setups To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/742544/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 742544] Re: Launcher is shown on the wrong screen in some multi-monitor setups
Thanks, I did. This is probably out of scope here but I would like to get a bit focus about that fact. This bug with with another one (or design decision - not sure) leads to a silly situation. By another bug I mean notifications appear on the right most monitor (not the primary one as they should). In result: when considering multiple monitors setup there is no way to get dash and notifications on the same screen. No matter how one will connect or setup screens. Moreover the more monitors we connect, the greater gap between the dash and the notifications become. Let take f.e. 3 monitor setup. The center monitor probably will be the primary one where we would like to have both dash and the notifications. However dash with all launchers appears on the left monitor when notifications go to the right one leaving middle (primary) monitor 'empty' of most focus-important things. Kind of nonsense, isn't it?

No problem.

[Bug 742544] Re: Launcher is shown on the wrong screen in some multi-monitor setups
This bug is driving me insane. It makes Unity almost unusable for me. I have two large monitors (24) with my primary display directly in front of me and the second one angled to the left. I am very mouse-centric (I use very few keyboard shortcuts) and having to twist my neck all the way to the left monitor and target the mouse across two displays just to switch apps, which I do frequently (I am a software developer and use multiple concurrent apps constantly), is literally causing me neck pain! Why can't I just drag the launcher to the top/left/middle of the entire display surface? That is by far the most intuitive UI behavior and would solve the launcher placement problem i a way that works for everyone. In 10.04 I had the launcher on my primary display, which put it in the middle of my total display surface. I set it in CCSM to not dodge windows so it always just stayed visible. This was ideal for my situation. 11.10 has seriously regressed in this regard.

I have tagged this regression-release, but it is a regression in 11.10 with respect to Unity only. ** Tags added: regression-release ** Description changed: + WORKAROUND FOR 11.10: + + None available right now. + WORKAROUND FOR 11.04: There are two ways to configure the primary monitor in Ubuntu 11.04... Permanent workaround (requires logging back in again): Edit ~/.config/monitors.xml, find the monitor you want the launcher to display on and change: primaryno/primary to: primaryyes/primary Now log out and log in again.

The unity bar is ending up on the laptop display though making it in the middle of the two monitors. This makes it quite difficult to activate the bar with a full screen application open on the laptop (hitting the upper left pixel of that monitor without going over).

Thanks Danel :) Should not be so difficult patching the display settings panel to draw a vertical bar in place for the horizontal one if unity is running. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/742544 Title: Launcher is shown on the wrong screen in some multi-monitor setups To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/742544/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 742544] Re: Launcher is shown on the wrong screen in some multi-monitor setups
This is why I left the bug confirmed in both gnome-control-center and unity packages.

@vanvugt; I have attached the visual designs for the adjustment to display settings panel to this bug.

[Bug 742544] Re: Launcher is shown on the wrong screen in some multi-monitor setups
Almost there. I think the colour of the overlays needs to be significantly different to that of the grey background or else it's visually confusing. Perhaps black, like it is at present in Gnome 3. Also optionally, the overlay(s) should have arrows, or something, to indicate they are drag-able. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/742544 Title: Launcher is shown on the wrong screen in some multi-monitor setups To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/742544/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 742544] Re: Launcher is shown on the wrong screen in some multi-monitor setups
This bug is primarily a Unity bug still, where Unity 4.18+ doesn't honour the primary monitor setting.

[Bug 742544] Re: Launcher is shown on the wrong screen in some multi-monitor setups
Adding a option to the 'Displays' panel in System Settings to select which monitor should display the launcher was on the todo list for Oneiric but didn't make it in because of lack of time. This option should be added in Pangolin.

[Bug 742544] Re: Launcher is shown on the wrong screen in some multi-monitor setups
@John Lea There is already an option to set the primary monitor in 'Displays' panel in System Settings. End a few weeks ago, the launcher was displayed on the primary monitor, but right now it's shown in the left monitor.

Omer, Who has talked about changing monitor orientation? :) Right know i can't make a screencast because I have no longer a multi head...
