I've been using an HDMI chord to connect my laptop (samsung R522) to the TV with Windows and it hasn't had problems, but once I tried this with Ubuntu (to which I am now switched completely), I experienced what seems to be a bug:
when the connection happens, only the home screen (and mouse movement) of my pc appears on the TV, no other application or function displays.
I yet found no answers about this on the internet, so I'm assuming this is a new error?
After running sudo lshw -C display, I got:
xaycparty@R522-xayc:~$ sudo lshw -C display
[sudo] password for xaycparty:

So, by suggestion, I installed an Addition Driver application, but when I opened it, it told me:
no additional drivers are available
and
no proprietary drivers are in use on this system,
I saw the system download some sort of a package with a bunch of miscellaneous drivers.
Am I supposed to run or configure something specific, or do something else?
This is like my day three with Ubuntu (or any form of Linux for that matter), and I am completely lost and scared.
