Ubuntu Dock on wrong display

[Dave Chiluk]

The activities panel is showing up on the wrong display. Selecting the "primary display" as 3 in the display settings puts the top bar on display 3 , but the activities bar on screen 2. Screenshot attached

Similarly, selecting
primary display = 2 then activities bar ends up on 1
primary display = 1 then activities bar ends up on 3

I'm hoping this is just an off by one error somewhere.

I think gnome-shell is the correct package. Feel free to move to the correct package

It looks like Ubuntu Dock (which inherits from dash-to-dock) has its own zero-based numbering. Try changing this number:

gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock preferred-monitor 0

or just go to "Settings > Appearance" and select your preferred monitor there.
