set up external monitor for laptop
0
I am trying to set up a second monitor for my Dell G5 laptop.
Ubuntu version 18.04 LTS.
However, I am struck at this:
What I tried so far is:
Download Gnome-Tweak-Tool and selected workspaces spans display.
reinstall gnome setting using the command line
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
None works. can someone help me out?
