I have a TV and I would like to connect my Ubuntu 14.04 laptop to it via HDMI. When I connect HDMI cables between both devices I see am able to detect both devices in my display settings in Ubuntu. But on the TV I see nothing.



$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2390 x 768, maximum 32767 x 32767
LVDS1 connected primary 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
1366x768 59.9*+
1360x768 59.8 60.0
1024x768 60.0
800x600 60.3 56.2
640x480 59.9
VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI1 connected 1024x768+1366+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 500mm x 375mm
1024x768 75.0*+ 60.0
1920x1080i 60.1 50.0 60.0
1280x720 60.0 50.0 59.9
800x600 60.3
720x576 50.0
720x480 60.0 59.9
640x480 75.0 60.0 59.9
DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
VIRTUAL1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)


Have also tried



xrandr --output HMDI1 --auto


the command executes with no warning, but nothing happens to the TV screen; it's still blue and displaying 'No Signal'.



I was following the instructions here on Ubuntu forums and tried the command but found this error



$ xrandr --output TMDS-1 --auto
warning: output TMDS-1 not found; ignoring

How can I get it working?

Your TV might be advertising a mode 1024x768 that it is not able to show.



You can use one of these commands to see if your TV can show the other modes:



xrandr --output HDMI1 --mode 1920x1080i
xrandr --output HDMI1 --mode 1280x720
xrandr --output HDMI1 --mode 1024x768 --rate 60
