Good afternoon, when trying to install Ubuntu 16.04 on a panel PC from an installation flash drive, the picture from the additional screen is loaded, not the main one. I used the output VGA, the picture was duplicated. The main screen is not available. Is there a way to swap the displays with a keyboard shortcut?

There should be a setting in the BIOS which video output to initialize first.

If it is possible to enter console commands, then xrandr will help you.
First, run the program with no arguments to get the names of the video outputs and connected displays:
Then type, for example:
This command will disable the LVDS1 output and make VGA1 the primary one. Replace LVDS1 and VGA1 with your own values.
For information about other available options, type
man xrandr
