Cannot connect laptop to TV with HDMI cable
I want to connect my laptop to the TV to view sports etc. but when I plug in the HDMI cable nothing happens, the program just continues on the laptop. I am using Xubuntu and am completely new to Linux
Hello guys thanks for helping. I solved the problem by going to Display in Settings and selecting "Configure new displays on connecting". This enabled the TV when I plugged in the HDMI cable. Thanks again. Liam |
The hdmi port/cable in a laptop is used to view laptop contents on the other monitor(TV/external pc monitor, projector etc). Not the reverse way.
Am I clear that you want to view sports from the tv to the monitor in laptop? |

Again, that's a "maybe"...you may just have to go into Xubuntu and configure a second display and mirror your monitor. First thing to try: have your laptop powered off first, plug in the HDMI, have the TV on, THEN power laptop on. HDMI may not activate on your laptop, unless it senses a monitor/device. Quote:
