It seems that many people have asked how to get the top bar on multi-monitors for Ubuntu 18.04 (e.g., Ubuntu 18.04: Top bar for all monitors, Ubuntu 18.04 Gnome bar on all monitors). There is no satisfactory answer there. I'd like to know if a solution exists for Ubuntu 20.04?

EDIT: I've already tried the Mutli Monitors Add-On but it doesn't work properly for me. I'm not able to get sounds parameters on both top bars and there are problems with some indicators.

This works for me:

https://github.com/realh/multi-monitors-add-on

Remove old versions of Multi Monitors add-on from ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions

Download updated extension from https://github.com/realh/multi-monitors-add-on and put multi-monitors-add-on@spin83 folder into ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions

Then press Alt+F2 enter r, Enter to reset Gnome Shell.

After that, you will be able to enable Multi Monitors add-on

I had the same need since the past two days, and found little information on 20.04. However, starting with this answer and that one, I was able to get it working by doing the following:

  1. Install GNOME Shell Extensions: sudo apt install gnome-shell-extensions

  2. Install the GNOME Shell integration browser extension and the Multi Monitors Add-On:

    To control GNOME Shell extensions using this site you must install GNOME Shell integration that consists of two parts: browser extension and native host messaging application. Click here to install browser extension. See wiki page for native host connector installation instructions.

    • After installing the extension, a widget appears on that page which allows you to toggle the extension On or Off; toggling On brings a popup asking you if you want to enable the shell extension; after confirming it just worked for me.
