How do I get the Ubuntu Dock off the secondary monitor?
CLI method:
You can disable the multiple monitors option for the dock by running the following command in Terminal:
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock multi-monitor false
Then you can set your preferred monitor by running
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock preferred-monitor <monitor-number>
(Put -1
in place of <monitor-number>
for the primary monitor)
GUI method:
See the answer by singrium and the answer by Dan Dascalescu.
