If you remember guys I bought a Dell monitor to plug into my Asus notebook that runs on the latest Peppermint distro. Last time I plugged it in it would immediately go live; that is the desktop comes on it with all the icons and I can use it ( go online, open files etc etc). Now the desktop comes on but with no icons. I just get my desktop itself but nothing else. It isn't live. The desktop is only live on the Asus notebook. I have tried doing the following:
Powering up the notebook, then plugging in the monitor/on
Powering up the notebook with the monitor already plugged in, switched on
Rebooting the notebook with the monitor plugged in/on
None of this works.
