I have just recently switched from Windows to Linux Ubuntu 16.04 to try and learn this OS (system administration), I have installed the normal Ubuntu 16.04 with the GUI as it wouldn’t be possible for me to make the huge jump from windows to non-GUI linux.
On windows I used to have Kodi (Jarvis 16.1) on Fullscreen on TV (connected from laptop DP port using DP->HDMI cable) while laptop monitor has the normal desktop (in Extended mode).
Now with linux it seems I cannot do the same, if I full screen KODI to the TV it will just result in black screen, Even if I don’t accept the dialog that comes out asking if I want to keep this change (I cannot see the dialog but I assume it is there), then KODI windows returns to fullscreen to the laptop screen but also in black! then I have to exit Kodi and start again, pressing “\” to change from fullscreen to windowed will still have a black screen.
The only option seems to be Windowed mode, but I can see the bar at the top (the one with clock, battery, WiFI..etc).
I don’t know if this is expected behavior or not, or if what I want is possible or not, I appreciate if anybody can clarify.
