Can I connect my Ubuntu laptop to my HDTV wirelessly?

Many TVs support DLNA. You can install "minidlna" on your computer.

sudo apt-get install minidlna specify the folders in /etc/minidlna.conf edit /etc/init.d/minidlna.conf as shown below so that minidlna is run with your user privileges (this is a hack but I didn't find an easier way to get it working).


# Run as minidlna' if USER is not specified or isroot'
if [ -z $USER ]; then
  USER=minidlna
fi

# If no group is specified, use USER if [ -z $GROUP ]; then GROUP=$USER fi

USER=myusername # <-- your username here GROUP=myusername # <-- your username here

If your device has Intel's WiDi interface, it may be possible, though I can't find any evidence of Intel supporting this at the kernel level.

    "Message.getSubject will decode the Subject text for you". It doesn't decode it. I read messages from imap3.
