How do I remove the launcher from my second monitor display?

Question

My workspace extends, and is not a mirror or copy of original display, but I still get the vertical purple Icon launcher bar on both screens and see no way to remove it. Please advise!

Answer 1

You can configure whether the launcher will show on all monitors or in a single one:

Open the dash and type display

Now configure where you want the launcher to appear:

If you have an Nvidia video card you need to run the Nvidia software and change the primary display. Don't know about other chipsets

Do you mean the 'Launcher' (which contains the Ubuntu symbol, Home folder, Ubuntu Software Manager, Ubuntu One, etc etc) on the left of the screen? If yes, then follow these instructions:

1. On the desktop, right-click and select Change Desktop Background.
2. Switch to Behavior tab.
3. Change Auto-hide the Launcher from OFF to ON.

Answer 5

Nvidia users, just disable "Xinerama", restart lightdm and then make changes to Display and Enable Xinerama.

Steps:

1. edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
2. change Xinerama value from 1 to 0
3. service lightdm restart
4. System Settings -> Display -> Launcher placement -> select monitor
5. edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
6. change Xinerama value from 0 to 1
7. service lightdm restart

You can disable sticky edge this way too.
