No option to mirror Displays on 18.04 - DELL M3800

Question

I don't find an option to mirror my Displays on Ubuntu 18.04:

I am running Ubuntu on a Dell M3800 with hybrid graphics.

What might cause this?

Result of sudo lshw -c display

When booting from Live USB the options also is not avaiable.

Switching to the NVIDIA Driver 340.107 from nvidia-340 didn't fix it.

Answer 1

The other very quick solution on both 18.04 and 19.04 is to use the keyboard shortcut: [Windows key + p] and then cycle through to get the right configuration.

Answer 2

From this answer: How can I mirror one of the screens in a 3-monitor setup? try using:

xrandr --output eDP-1-1 --output HDMI-1-2 --output HDMI-1-2 --same-as HDMI-1-1

In the accepted solution above, screen 3 is mirrored to screen 2 but the primary screen is not mirrored.

Another option is switching to Unity desktop: GNOME in Ubuntu 18.04 and multi monitor setup

Click the gear icon next to the Sign In button as shown below:

Note: Fresh 18.04 installs may need to install Unity Desktop. 16.04 Upgrades will likely have Unity in place by default. See: How can I make Ubuntu 18.04 / 18.10 desktop use Unity (be like Ubuntu 14.04)?
