I did a stupid and dropped my 2nd monitor. My secondary monitor had my task bar. Anybody know how to get that back on my only remaining monitor?

#

Using cinnamon (or whatever is default desktop for LM)

#

I should also mention the only monitor I have installed is primary but i had my taskbar set to only be on secondary.

Hi again, uh here this should help you understand.
I don't think I have access to a panel right?

#

@vestal forge

#

I only have this one monitor with me right now so no taskbar/panel for me?

#

press ctrl-alt-t for a terminal

#

then do cinnamon-settings

#

then go to Panels item and add it, then populate it.

#

from left to right, applets are: cinn. menu, panel launchers, grouping window list (or just window list), far right section: system tray, mounted removable devices icon, notifications applet, volume icon , calendar, show desktop

#

I know there's a command for everything but just couldn't find it online because the search algo is congested

How do I give a cookie?
