How to turn on the laptop screen when external monitors are connected to it?
I have a laptop with Ubuntu on it and two external monitors. Recently I've set the laptop screen to turn off, when external monitors are connected. I don't remember how I did it, but I think there was a corresponding option for this in Displays section of the Preferences. But now that laptop screen is off it doesn't even show up in there.
How do I turn it on again?
