XPS13 9300 connecting display to monitor via HDMI
by makem from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5HJF0)
I am using an XPS13 9300 with xubuntu 20.04 and Xfce desktop. The laptop is connected to the monitor on HDMI1 via a Dell adaptor (See below), which connects to one of the USB C ports on the laptop. The adaptor has an HDMI output.

makem@XPS-13-9300:~Using xubuntu Display settings I select the monitor as primary display on the right of the laptop. This tells me that the panel and icons are passed through to the primary display, the monitor but they are not.
I can drag from the panel as expected but that is all.
I am trying to be able to set this up correctly, close the laptop lid (set to turn off the display only) and after final shutdown keep all the settings as they were set. ie open the laptop, sign in, close the lid and work only on the monitor.
To do this I need the laptop display 'permanently' passed to the monitor in total, not just using it as a screen extension.
At the moment I can only use it with screen mirroring and even then the monitor screen width is incorrect, leaving unused screen either side.
Maybe this is not possible? If not can anyone guide or point to a guide where I can set it up as close as possible?
