OS: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS x86_64
Plotseling (?) staan mijn desktop icons op de verkeerde monitor, nl op monitor 1 i.p.v. monitor 2.
Toch is monitor 2 de Primary Display :
Zelfs m.b.v. ChatGPT kom ik er niet uit:
To move your desktop icons from display 1 to display 2 on Ubuntu, you will need to change the primary display setting. The primary display is the one where desktop icons and other main interface elements are shown. Here are the steps to set your desired display as the primary one:
1. **Open the Settings:**
- Click on the system menu at the top-right corner of your screen (where the network, battery, and power icons are located).
- Click on the **Settings** (gear icon).
2. **Go to Display Settings:**
- In the Settings window, navigate to the **Displays** section. This is usually found under the **Devices** category.
3. **Identify Your Displays:**
- You should see a graphical representation of your connected displays. They are typically labeled as "1," "2," etc.
4. **Set the Primary Display:**
- Click on the display you want to set as your primary display (in your case, display 1).
- Look for a checkbox or button labeled **"Primary Display"** or **"Set as Primary"**. Check this box or click this button.
5. **Apply the Changes:**
- Click on the **Apply** button to save the changes.
- You may need to confirm the changes within a few seconds.
6. **Restart or Relogin (if necessary):**
- Sometimes, a simple restart or logging out and back in is required for the changes to take full effect.
By following these steps, you should be able to move your desktop icons to display 1. If you encounter any issues or the settings do not apply correctly, you can also try using the `xrandr` command in the terminal to manually set the primary display.
### Using `xrandr` Command
If the graphical settings do not work, you can use the terminal to set the primary display:
1. **Open Terminal:**
- Press `Ctrl+Alt+T` to open the terminal.
2. **List Displays:**
- Run the following command to list your displays:
```bash
xrandr
```
- Note the names of your displays (e.g., `HDMI-1`, `DP-1`, etc.).
3. **Set Primary Display:**
- Use the following command to set your primary display (replace `DISPLAY_NAME` with the actual name of your desired primary display):
```bash
xrandr --output DISPLAY_NAME --primary
```
4. **Apply and Confirm:**
- The changes should take effect immediately. If necessary, log out and log back in to ensure the settings are applied correctly.
By following these steps, your desktop icons should now appear on the correct display.
De icons worden wel verplaatst van 1 naar 2, maar dan verplaatst de top bar (met de aan/uit, luidspreker,...) van monitor 2 zich naar monitor 1 :'(
