I tried the kde desktop for a short while but I didn't like it that much
so I purged it and then re installed the gnome dektop. I also installed
gnome tweaks and have the yaru them.

At some point during me setting my windows back up on the 2 monitors,
the ubuntu side menu was moved to the 2nd monitor!!
I don't know how I did this, but I would like it back on the primary
monitor again.

Thanks

Update:
I had to set the 2nd monitor as Primary, which it isn't, and that put
the sidebar menu back to the other monitor.

The top bar which has the date and time as well as power icon etc is
still on the 2nd monitor. It only goes on the 1st monitor if I set that
as primary, but why won't the side bar go to the 1st or primary monitor
Aaargh!
