I'm using my TV as a monitor to watch movies on my laptop, which is running 13.04, and I was wondering: how I can make it show my laptops screen on both my TV and laptop?

What you are looking for is Mirroring:

  1. Click your user in the upper right corner of your screen.
  2. Click System Settings.
  3. Type display and hit enter.
  4. Make sure the TV is connected
  5. There should be a tick button that says "Mirror Display", activate it.

Now you should read this answer in both your TV and the Laptop Monitor.

  • Great answer! But between step 4 and 5 should be another step. Something like: There should be a button that says "Detect Displays", click on it. Mar 30, 2014 at 16:50

Install arandr. Then run it. Place both desktops in the same space, covering each other. :) If looking for a command line alternative, use xrandr.
