sixwheeledbeastduoi: Never done multi monitors but can you not add a new panel to each monitor?09:01
sixwheeledbeastcim209: System > Preferences > Look and Feel if you are being pedantic ;)09:02

sixwheeledbeastWiki and the UM website are helpful for newbies. IRC is generally for a specific question12:30
sixwheeledbeast!ask12:30
ubottuPlease don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience12:30
m4tanyone ever seen lightdm freeze at the login screen background after logging in? cursor is frozen too. everything loads but nothing is displayed until i switch from x->console->x17:44
m4ti was hoping it was something simple like the recent x11 library upgrades, but it's still happening after downgrading :/17:44
m4thuh, seems something with my xorg.conf (which i've used in its current incarnation since i switched to 18.04 in april)18:53
m4tremoving xorg.conf = instant desktop ;(18:54
