Switch from Dual Monitor Display to Single Display Permanently
Wrong display configuration used by LightDM in Ubuntu 13.10 when laptop lid is closed in docking stationMultiple Monitors Detect Add Remove Laptop Auto Change Nvidia X Server SettingsDual monitor setup, why does NVidia 340 Prime only detect one monitor?How to make the right hand monitor the primary monitorUnplugging HDMI cable doesn't switch back to single monitor mode on Lenovo Yoga 3 11 laptopHow can I fix lightdm login black border?Notebook display not detected after upgrade to Ubuntu Gnome 16.04Ubuntu 16.04; external monitor; after reboot, no longer working as dual monitor, only working as mirroredUbuntu 16.04 & Nvidia - Adding external monitor stretches single display across both monitorsSecond Monitor is not detected after upgrading to 18.04.1
ISSUE: My laptop's display is broken, so i removed the in-built monitor (LVDS1-1) and bought an external monitor (HDMI-1-1).
Under Setting, I am able to change display mode to 'Single Display' as my HDMI-1-1. However, this setting kicks in only after I log in.
Before login, ubuntu treats it as dual monitor system and all the text is 'displayed' on LVDS-1-1 (which i can not see, since there is no monitor connected) (I am able to login by entering the password, but it is annoying)
QUESTION: How can I change the display mode to always be as Single Display, even before login?
ENVIRONMENT:
-Ubuntu 18.04
-Nvidia GFX (Switchable mode with Intel)
-New to Linux
THINGS I TRIED:
1. Editing /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf (added active-monitor=0)
2. NVIDIA X Server Settings (Prime Displays cannot be controlled by nvidia-settings)
3. Editing ~/.config/monitors.xml (LVDS-1-1 is already disabled)
