Hi everyone.
I’m a reasonably new Linux user and new to the forums, currently using Mint 20 with a cinnamon desktop. [details below] I have searched high and low to find an answer to my problem but no go.
I am trying to get my laptop to mirror to my TV, but having great difficulties.
My TV is detected, but I can only see the desktop background, no cursor or icons.
I can get sound on the TV, but no mirrored image.
When I click on ‘mirror display’, and ‘apply’ the second green screen [the tv] disappears and the following error message pops up,
Failed to apply configuration.
GDBus.Error:org.cinnamon.SettingsDaemon.XRANDR_2
was not provided by any .service files
I truly hope someone can guide me as to what to do next.
Thanks in anticipation
Here are the details of my system:
