I am using a TV with HDMI input from sony laptop running ubuntu 12. I can see the screen on the TV but any files I run on the laptop do not appear on the television. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

With the small amount of information you've given, it seems like you've extended your display instead of mirroring it.
I would suggested trying to drag an open window to the left/right/bottom and top of your laptop screen to see if it appears on your TV.

yes, you're right and thanks for sharing. It was extending at the time but now it mirrors. I have to raise another question for the sound not being played but judging by the downvoter extremists on the site, I have to wonder whether I should do that or not. – ali haider – 2014-09-01T14:50:43.693
