Miracast to an Ubuntu 18.04 Desktop from Lineage OS Android 7.1.2 Nexus 5 using Miraclecast

First test to make sure your Wifi adapter is compatible with Miraclecast:

github.com/albfan/miracl…

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/albfan/miraclecast/master/res/miracle-utils.sh
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/albfan/miraclecast/master/res/test-hardware-capabilities.sh
chmod u+x test-hardware-capabilities.sh
./test-hardware-capabilities.sh

Install miraclecast repo:

launchpad.net/~thopiekar…

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:thopiekar/miraclecast
sudo apt-get update

github.com/albfan/miracl…

Steps to use it as sink

1. shutdown wpa_supplicant and NetworkManager

   systemctl stop NetworkManager.service
   systemctl stop wpa_supplicant.service 
   

2. launch wifi daemon

   sudo miracle-wifid &
   

3. launch sink control (your network card will be detected. here 3)

   sudo miracle-sinkctl
   [ADD]  Link: 3
   

4. run WiFi Display on link:

   > run 3
   

5. Get this error, and realize you never ran the test script:

   $ systemctl stop wpa_supplicant.service 
   $ sudo miracle-wifid &
   [1] 18029
   $ WARNING: supplicant: wpa_supplicant or driver does not support P2P (supplicant_status_fn() in wifid-supplicant.c:1698)
   
   $ sudo miracle-sinkctl
   [ADD] Link: 3
   [miraclectl] # run 3
   ERROR: supplicant: invalid arguments (supplicant_p2p_start_scan() in wifid-supplicant.c:2002)
   ERROR: cannot change p2p-scanning state on link 3 to 1: Invalid argument (ctl_link_set_p2p_scanning() in ctl-wifi.c:740)
   now running on link 3
   [miraclectl] # 
   

   My Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6230 [Rainbow Peak] (rev 34) apparently is not supported.
   “Sorry, wlp2s0 do not support P2P”

6. Pair your machine with other miracast device (mirroring)
7. See your screen device on this machine
