I have Ubuntu 16.04 running on a HP Desktop with two monitors. The launcher is currently located on the left edge of the right hand monitor which is very inconvenient. How do I move it to the left edge of the left monitor?

I am able to move it to the bottom with:

gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Launcher launcher-position Bottom

But I would like to move it to the left edge of the left monitor.

  • The ancient bug report says fix released, and OP says it didn't help, so I don't think we should be closing this against that – Zanna Mar 17 '17 at 05:39

Go to System Settings > Screen Display

Find Launcher placement and select the display you want to put the launcher on.

Other than that you could personalize your unity interface with Unity Tweak Tool.

  • I don’t have a 'Display' option on 'System Settings'. I have a 'Screen Display' option but this doesn’t have a 'Launcher placement' option. – Alexander Peace Mar 15 '17 at 19:04

  • i think this might be your problem, check this link http://askubuntu.com/questions/453440/missing-system-settings-after-removing-some-packages#453441 after that you should be able to do it the way i told you before. – Nelson Candia Mar 15 '17 at 19:16
  • I have just tried this and uninstalled the system settings then reinstalled but this didn’t provide any more options. – Alexander Peace Mar 15 '17 at 19:40

    @AlexanderPeace It's at Screen Display at it should look like this: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Zb7jf.png –  Mar 15 '17 at 20:37
