I've installed Ubuntu 18.04, everything's fine but the video output to an external TV screen connected by HDMI.



I've looked for similar questions, HDMI connection problems , my case is quite different and weird.



PC monitor is ok.
The external TV screen shows only the desktop background pattern with the circle'arcs draft of the beaver; neither icons nor toolbar appear.



Thus a sort of incomplete desktop shows up in the external TV screen while the one in the PC's main monitor is complete.



May someone give me a tip to solve the problem?



Thank you very much in advance.

Apparently, it is the default behavior of Join Displays in Ubuntu 18.04 :

Change the primary display (Settings -> Devices -> Displays) or install gnome-extension-multi-monitor.
