How do you clean a computer and TV screen?

How do I share the same screen as my computer to my tv screen?

  • I have a pc that that we recently switched from Windows7 to Linux. When I used my HDMI cord to connect the computer to the tv in Windows7, my tv screen automaticaly showed what was on my computer. But now when I do the same thing with linux, it shows a different workspace. I want to share what's on my computer on the tv. I tried dragging the window to the other workspace, but the sound is still on my computer and not on my tv! (Which was not the case in Windows7. I'm trying to watch a movie on my tv but the movie is on my computer. See the problem now?) So pleeeeease help me out!

  • Answer:

    Windows 7 "Cloned" the desktop to the TV while Linux "Extended" the desktop to the TV. Google "Clone Linux desktop to TV" Also for the sound, try to change the default sound device to external device instead of your laptop.
