I had a similar problem the panels stayed on my laptop when i plugged in the external screen. I managed to find a workaround using xrandr. 1. I queried the screens > xrandr -q My screens were VGA1 <external> and LVDS1 <laptop> 2. set the external to primary > xrandr --output VGA1 --primary 3. turn off the laptop screen, forcing the panels to the external screen >xrandr --output LVDS1 --off 4. turn the laptop on again, >xrandr --output LVDS1 --auto 5. set the laptop left-of the external monitor >xrandr --output LVDS1 --left-of VGA1 I am sure there is an easier way -- Can't define primary screen in dual screen setup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/353186 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
