Debian Multimedia :: Unusual Video Display Using X?

Sep 29, 2010

I've been dual booting Lenny and Squeeze but after replacing Lenny with a fresh Squeeze using ext4, the video display has been strange. The effect is similar to running a live CD, where a click does nothing for a few seconds while the CD winds up and gets to the application, but slower than that. Sometimes the display has patches of several windows all mixed up, zig zag patterns like a TV that is too far from a transmitter to receive a good signal and sometimes the mouse freezes in moving around. When I boot and don't start X, everything works perfectly, no delays, no messed up windows.

My video is ATI x1300 with Radeon driver. What is the best way to get the system to use only vesa, to see if that works, instead of ati or radeon? is possible to use grub.cfg or /etc/defaults/grub or /etc/grub.d/ ? I couldn't find any reports of problems with Xorg used by Squeeze, so it seems to be the ATi driver or the radeon driver.

Debian :: Unusual Video Phenomenon In Epiphany/Iceweasel?

Mar 26, 2010

just installed debian 5.0.4 on an imac g3 500mhz allinone and when i went to videos to test the video quality the video seems to open over and over, audio starts and then restarts and copies of the video pop up continuously. the only way to kill the video is to shut down the computer. this happens in epiphany and also in iceweasel, is this a flash issue? any one seen anything like this before? it acts like there is a loop in the software that causes it to keep opening the same thing over and over.

Debian :: No Video Display After Installing ?

Dec 1, 2010

My computer boots up but just as its about to load debian I lose video output. Where do I start with troubleshooting this?

Also there was an option to install debain as "graphical installation" or just "installation". I chose just "installation", whats the difference? I dont know if that has anything to do with why i cant get output.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: No Video Display When Using Dual Head / Get That?

Jun 19, 2010

I just installed lucid on my laptop with a second screen. Unfortunately, I cannot display any video. Neither on the laptop screen nor on the second external screen. In contrast, rebooting without attaching the external screen allows me to display videos again.
I never experienced this kind of behavior with Ubuntu 9.10.
Graphic card: Intel 945
Let me know if you need further information.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Display Video / Song Length In Filename?

Jan 29, 2010

This is just an idea, and I want to know if it can be done. Could I set up Nautilus so that videos and songs have their durations shown in the filename? For example, let's say I have a video of me shooting targets. There would be an icon, and the filename underneath would say: "Range trip 2009.flv - 8:23"

Is there currently a way to do this?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Cannot Display This Video Mode After Grub Screen

May 29, 2011

I use natty 64 bit. I installed a HD 4870. Installed the drivers according to instruction on [URL]. I ran aticonfig --initial. Still I get "Cannot Display This video Mode" after the grub screen, during boot up. Monitor preferences applet doesn't seem to work, either - it won't detect the monitor parameters EDID thing.

When I try to open the Catalyst Control Centre I get:
p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; } "There was a problem initializing Catalyst Control Center Linux edition. It could be caused by the following.
No ATI graphics driver is installed, or the ATI driver is not functioning properly.
Please install the ATI driver appropriate for you ATI hardware, or configure using aticonfig."

Here are chunks of xorg log (I cut the non video bits).

Debian Multimedia :: Integrated Intel Video And High-def Video W/vaapi?

Jul 6, 2011

I have an integrated intel video and latest xserver-xorg-video-intel driver(using only stable repo). Now I wanna watch high-res video. From the bits of info collected from all over internet I understood that I need to:

1.aptitude install libdrm libva.

2.compile or find the .deb mplayer-vaapi and install it.

3.add -vo vaapi -va vaapi to the mplayer command line in gnome-mplayer.

My question : is that correct or did I miss something? Do I have to compile latest libdrm and libva or the ones from the squeeze repo will be good? Do I need kms enabled, i.e. install firmware-linux-nonfree?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Video With My Laptop Display - HP Compaq Nx9010 - Millions Of Jerky Horizontal Lines

Jan 17, 2011

I have a HP Compaq nx9010 laptop with 1 gig of memory and 128mb being dedicated to video memory. The graphics chip is ATI Radeon IGP 345M.

I can only set my resolution to 1024 X768. If I try to change it to any other size or try to play any games, the video has millions of jerky horizontal lines going through it. If I hookup an external monitor the video works just fine. Being new to linux and even newer to installing on it laptops, can anyone tell me what if any thing can be done to correct this. I am running Ubuntu 10.4 LTS.

Debian Hardware :: Unusual System Failure - Hard Drive Bad Sector

Sep 11, 2015

It all started about a week after upgrading to Jessie and I had an unusual system failure, in that the CPU went to 100% usage and the hard drive light was on constantly. The keyboard and mouse were were non-responsive. Not having REISUB enabled I did the "stupid" thing and pushed the reset button on the computer. BAD BOY! As a result the computer would not boot and I had to use a live CD to format the drive and install Wheezy (I had the CD).

After installing Wheezy, everything worked well for about 3 days and then it did the same thing. Fortunately I had REISUB enabled and was able to reboot. I looked at the syslog and found a segfault with colord-sane and, after some research that suggested colord-sane might be a problem, I set UseSane=1 in colord.conf . Things seemed to be okay for about 4 days.

Well, after all that I had another problem today with booting. During boot I got an error message saying that there was some hard drive problem and that I needed to log in and run fsck, which I did . There were I believe 4 INODE errors that I was asked if I wanted to repair, to which I responded yes. After that the system booted correctly. After booting and entering the Gnome Classic desktop I looked at the Disk Utility and checked the SMART data. There is now 1 bad sector where before there were none. The drive is a one year old WD 500GB Velociraptor.

Don't know if this is relevant, but in the days before this latest "crash" I had downloaded about 8 movies using bittorrent. Could this have overtaxed the HDD?

I guess my questions are: When fsck "repaired" the disk would it have moved any data from the bad sector to a new location? What may have caused the sector to go bad ? Should I be buying a new hard drive?

The system seems to boot okay,at this time, so I assume that no critical system files were affected. Just curious as to how I should proceed. First is BACK UP my data. Got that !

One more thing I just thought of is that every time it "crashed", I was using LXDE.

Programming :: .ogv Video Does Not Display With <video> Tag In Firefox 3.5?

Jul 3, 2009

I was trying to take advantage of that new HTML5 <video> tag, and Firefox 3.5's native Ogg support, by embedding an .ogv video. Here is the references I used:

[code].....

Here was the code I put on my web page:

Code:

<video width="640" height="480" controls="controls">
<source src="http://path/to/uploaded/video/on/my/site.ogv" />
Your browser does not support the <code>video</code> element.
</video>

However, when I view it I get a video box, but it is grey and will not play a video. I keep playing with the various attributes but the result always seems to be the same. I also tried it on a Windows box with Firefox 3.5 (to make sure it didn't have something to do with my Linux config) but the results were the same.

Debian Multimedia :: Extended Display With Different DPI On Each Monitor

Dec 14, 2014

How could xorg be set-up such that different monitors work with different DPI but still compose the same extended display?

I have a 15 inch laptop display extending to the right the main display which is 23 inch. The resolutions are comparable, but the difference in pixel size is very large. Thus, either the external display has too large fonts and UI, or the laptop one has them very small. Moving them at different distances is not entirely possible.

xrandr info:
eDP1 connected primary 1920x1080+2048+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 194mm
VGA1 connected 2048x1152+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 510mm x 287mm

I heard that Windows has a hack (which I can't check) for extending displays with different pixels sizes: it computes in which of the displays a window has most of it's surface and sets the DPI for that window based on that. Thus a window will change DPI when crossing monitors, (and will look too small/large on one of the monitors if it is in the middle).

Debian Multimedia :: Display Not Fitting Onto Screen

Mar 7, 2015

I am using xfce4 and in this image

The top bar only shows the bottom half. the bottom bar only shows the top half. i also can't see anything after the r in centre on the right. part of the initial picture on the left also does not display.

My thought is that the tv it has a resolution of 1920x1080 and this is causing the issue. i have this in my xorg.conf:

Code: Select allSection "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Device0"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth    24
    Option         "metamodes" "nvidia-auto-select +0+0; 1920x1080_60 +0+0"

[Code] ....

The graphics card is

Code: Select all02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation C77 [GeForce 8300] (rev a2)

Changing metamodes to 19200x1200 doesn't change anything.

Debian Multimedia :: ATI Catalyst Keeps Disabling Second Display?

May 20, 2011

I have an ATI Radeon 5850 card with 2 17" monitors, plus a 46" TV via HDMI (disabled, except for BD plaback under windows) under Debian 6.0/Squeeze. When I first installed this system, it worked fine with all 3 screens (only 2 enabled at a time). Sometime in the past few weeks though, it's decided to revert to a single-display setup. I can't find any errors in the logfiles, and it works perfectly fine when I re-enabled the secondary display via the ATI Catalyst Control center.

The auto-generated xorg.conf isn't configured to use the second display (even after re-generating one using "aticonfig -initial=dual-head"), and it is not being modified when I change settings in the Catalyst Control Center.Updating display settings after every boot is just a bit annoying.

Debian Multimedia :: Using Xrandr To Toggle Laptop Display

Jun 3, 2015

Background: I am running Debian 8 with the Xfce DE on my Toshiba Satellite Laptop.

When at home I will connect my laptop to an external display. I did the same while I was running Ubuntu; however, with Ubuntu I could activate my laptop display by simply disconnecting the external monitor. With Debian + Xfce, unplugging the external monitor leaves my laptop screen blank.

In order to activate my laptop display, I have to open Display settings, turn on laptop display -- which still leaves my laptop screen blank -- and then switch resolution: there are two listings for 1366x768 under resolution, and only the second one restores my laptop display. Please note that if I have both displays on at the same time the size of the output on my external monitor will be reduced to about the size of my laptop's display.

I would like the create a Bash script which can automatically switch between my displays. After some Googling it seems like xrandr is the tool I need for the job. However, I have been having trouble getting it to work.

I tried the command Code: Select allxrandr --output LVDS1 --auto --primary --output HDMI1 --off. This however just turns my external display off without turning on my laptop's display. I suspect this has something to do with the fact that LVDS1 has two modes at 1366x768; perhaps only one of them can actually display? I'm not sure, but anyways here's the output of xrandr:

Code: Select allScreen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192
LVDS1 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 193mm
   1366x768      59.99*+
   1360x768      59.80    59.96 
   1024x768      60.00 
   800x600       60.32    56.25 

[Code] ....

Is there a way I can specify that xrandr should use the second 1366x768 mode?

I just realized that the second mode is, in fact, 1360x768 rather than 1366x768...

The good news is that I fixed my problem. It turns out that my backlight was not turning on, giving the appearance that my laptop screen was not displaying anything.

The answer I got on Meego's forum is that I am missing glx extensions. I have tried to find a way to get the glx extensions but I do not seem to get it. My searches on the web all point to Nvidia, but I have got ATI. I run Lenny 5.0.6 amd64.

Debian Multimedia :: Vlc No Longer Shows Image - Display Movies Again?

As a result, my vlc no longer works: When I run it to display a movie (any movie, I tried several) I get the sound OK, but there is no image, and the window stays small (like when playing a sound file). How do I get vlc to display movies again?

Debian Multimedia :: Icedove Updates Changed Display Accounts And Folders

Previously, it displayed the number of unread and the total number of messages in neat columns. Now it is a single number of unread in parens.

Is there any way I can get the display back to the previous format of unread# and total#?

Debian Multimedia :: Add A Video Resolution ?

May 14, 2011

This system is basically working fine, but I'd like to change the video resolution. It has defaulted to the monitor's native resolution, which is 1920 x 1024. I'd like to set 1600 x 900. However, it's not in the list. In fact, the other resolutions listed in System => Preferences => Monitors aren't even the same ratio -they're more like the old 4:3.

Background: desktop pc with AMD64, 4GB RAM, etc.video is Nvidia Geforce 8200 or 8400installed debian 6.0 with the default "base" or "basic" or somesuch, plus "graphical environment". It's Gnome 2-series I believe.And it seems to be using the Nouveau driver as far as I can tell.So I Googled, and on various pages people said to edit the file: etc/X11/xorg.conf

However, there is no such file on my system. So I googled more, and posters give the following advice: kill the X server, kill the gdm, and then give command: Xorg -configure and this is supposed to generate the config file. However, for me it did not generate the file. Instead it failed with the error message: "Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices".

Debian Multimedia :: VLC Alsa Stuttering On HD Video

Apr 23, 2016

VLC says: "main input error: ES_OUT_SET_(GROUP_)PCR is called too late" when I am playing back most Bluray discs I have tried.

See this bug post for what I am talking about: [URL].... It has to do with playing back h264 video with ALSA.

Possible fixes:
1. Obtain VLC 2.2.2 - see below
2. Fix by Modax here: https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/10422 - not currently using dmix and not sure how this will relate to HDMI sound
3. Use Pulseaudio - this does not work for me to get HDMI sound and I do not use Pulseaudio as a rule

I have just tried to compile VLC 2.2.2 and the configure script finished properly but early in the build it fails.

With make the error is:

Code: Select alljason@MEDIA:~/vlc-2.2.2$ make -j4
make  all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/jason/vlc-2.2.2'
Making all in compat
make[2]: Entering directory '/home/jason/vlc-2.2.2/compat'
  GEN      dummy.c
make  all-am

[Code] ....

And with compile the error is:

Code: Select allMAKE     : compat
MAKE     : doc
MAKE     : po
MAKE     : share
for f in vlc.desktop.in skins2/default/theme.xml skins2/default/subX/about.png skins2/default/subX/eq.png skins2/default/subX/font.otf skins2/default/subX/main.png skins2/default/subX/playtreeglyphs.png skins2/default/subX/pl.png skins2/default/subX/sysbuttons.png skins2/default/subX/vol_anim.png skins2/default/subX/vol_slider.png

[Code] ....

I have tried installing 3 different versions of libua-dev, 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3. What could be the problem?

With the bugged audio drivers I'm going to replace the computer but it would still be nice to be able to know the solution to compiling VLC 2.2.2.
