I have a pc running ubuntu 20.04 via NVIDIA 1650 gpu, and my monitor is connected to pc via HDMI cable. I want to use my old laptop as a second monitor (extended screen) because I can't buy a new monitor now.
Could someone help me what should I do?
I tried to add a virtual display via xrandr
or xorg config but still no luck!
All other answers were outdated and not working for nvidia
.
My goal is to create virtual display as extended screen and connect to it via vnc client from my laptop.
I also used this https://github.com/mrenrich84/vnc_virtual_display_linker repo but I got this error:
