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
With Windows, connecting a computer to TV with HDMI is plug-and-play, but when I connect my laptop with Linux Mint to TV, only the wallpaper appears on TV screen. No desktop icons, no windows or videos appear. Is it a driver issue? Thanks for any help you might have.
Hi I am not a complete Linux newbie, but I have a challenge that is new to me.
I am wanting to be able to connect to a linux box (Raspberry Pi running Debian) via ssh directly from a single computer. I want to be able to plug in a ethernet cable from a laptop to the Raspberry Pi so that I can configure it via ssh or a webpage.
I have had a few pieces of hardware, routers, printers etc that allow this sort of connection for configuration, I just would like to know how it is done.
My question is how do I set up the /etc/interfaces file to allow the Raspberry Pi to be found by the laptop.
Once configured I would want the Raspberry Pi to obtain its IP address via DHCP when connected to a network.
Any suggestions, ideas would be appreciated.
Hi,
I am using 2 screens (my current laptop screen and extended to my TV using HDMI), I am only using one x-server (ctl-alt-F7) on ZorinOS 9.1
on the terminal, DISPLAY using: env|grep DISPLAY variable always shows :0.0 for both screens
I thought it would show :0.0 for my laptop display and :0.1 for my TV, its showed :0.0 on TV as well, could some one tell me why.....
Hello, My issue is very common but, not able to resolve it.
Issue I am facing with my Linux (RHEL-5 32-bit) machine, where I am not able to connect to internet.
DWR-113 - D-Link Router is configured for 3G dongle (Vodafone India) - This setup is done via WiFi and not using the provided LAN cable from Win7 machine.
Internet is working absolutely fine in case of Wireless but, at same time when LAN cable is used internet is not working. [Able to ping to Router IP i.e. 192.168.0.1)
Similarly, from Linux box, ping to Router IP is working [LAN plugged] but, Internet not working. IP of linux machine: 192.168.0.60
Also, able to get the console connection of Linux from Windows box..[Windows connected to Router via WiFi and Linux connected to Router via LAN cable]
Please suggest how to get rid of this problem so that Internet will work on Linux via LAN cable.
Many Thanks,
I have just switched over from DVI to HDMI on a new monitor. I would like to feed the audio out over HDMI. Currently I get no audio over HDMI. Is there a setting to enable this? I am running Debian Wheezy with XFCE.
Does anyone know of a USB to HDMI adapter for Linux? Amazon.com only seems to have them for Windows and Mac. Or would they work with Linux also? None of my old laptops have an HDMI port. I'd like to know before I spend the money for one. Thanks much for any help you can give me! -Ed

Hi. Please help.
I got a new ETS-T40 Black Twister CPU cooler a few days ago. The installation was easy. I plugged the cpu cooler cable to 4pin cpu fan. The fan was running at 750-800 RPM which is perfect for me because it's not noisy. The problem was the blue LED light on the fan didn't come on. The only way to get the led light to work was to plug the cable to 3pin sys fan, but the fan was running in full speed 1800 rpm and it's really loud. How can I fix this problem?

Hi
We are going to move some servers from one location to another. How to verify whether the cables are connected to the right interface port?
like one server has eth0 active and eth1 is down. now if the tech guys connect the cable on eth1 port then how to know that
Is it /sys/class/net/eth1 and look for carrier or there is a better way ?
thanks in advance
