Ubuntu Installation :: Meerkat Won't Boot With External Monitor Connected?

Oct 30, 2010

Have a Dell Studio XPS with 64 bit Meerkat on it. Whenever I connect my Samsung external monitor by displayport/dvi ubuntu no longer boots. Machine unresponsive and have to cut power and disconnect it. :/

Sounds exactly like this bug, no? [URL] Except for the fact I have ATI video card and the restricted drivers (with Catalyst control center, although it is useless).

Code:
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Madison [Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series] Win7 install works fine.

Hardware :: Display Settings Hosed If Second Monitor Is Connected On Boot-up

May 5, 2011

I'm trying to get my secondary display (DVI-Out) working on a laptop (built-in monitor & external display) and I'm afraid I made quite the mess of it installing the proprietary driver only to learn that my old ATI card is no longer supported and having to clean that up and reinstall the original distro driver!Anyways, I reverted back to the open source driver and all is ok. That is until I reboot. If I reboot with the DVI display connected then both displays are brought up in 640x480 res and look terrible.

What do I have to do to be able to leave my DVI display connected when I start up the machine and get it to render the way it does when I plug in the display after the machine is running?I suspect I need to create an xorg.conf file but these fancy modern Linuxes these days don't come with one (or maybe they no longer need it anymore).

Fedora :: Can't Get Monitor Which Is Connected To Nvidia Gt218 To Work Properly

Sep 6, 2011

I have 3 monitors and two video cards. In my ATI HD 6750 I have the DVI going to monitor one and the VGA for that card going to monitor 2.

[burnyd@dynamips ~]$ lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV710 [Radeon HD 4350]
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT218 [ION] (rev a2)

The second card (Nvidia GT218) I have the DVI connection going to monitor three Monitor one and two for the ATI work perfect but I cannot get monitor three which is connected to the nvidia gt218 to work properly. I tried editing my own xorg.conf file but that did not work, I have a windows 7 install on this box that works properly. I cant seem to make this work with the third monitor and the nvidia video card.

Fedora :: Won't Boot With Second HD Connected?

Nov 18, 2009

I wanted to set up a dual disk dual boot system with Fedora 11 on one SATA Hard Disk and Windows XP on the second. I installed Fedora 11 and it mirrored itself onto both disks.This wasn't what I intended, so I removed one disk and installed Windows XP onto the other with the intention of disabling the mirror on the Fedora OS.As expected, I found that Windows will boot up happily on its own, or with both disks connected, but Fedora will now only boot up if the Windows disk is not connected.But when I checked the LVM settings, I found that there is no mirroring set up. I also checked my BIOS and RAID is not enabled.Is there a way that I can get Fedora to boot up with both disks nnected without having to reinstall it?

OpenSUSE :: VNC Without Monitor Connected?

Jan 9, 2010

easy I managed to install Oracle, JBoss and other software, connected to it via VNC. Once finished I decided to move the box to far corner and work with it via putty and vnc. But then problems with vnc started. Whenever I tried to connect via vnc I got background screen with cross cursor and then it stuck, no login screen. I spent a lot of time trying to fix it. I red many forums and this one in partucular : VNC is not working - openSUSE Forums Nothing helped. I have noticed that vnc doesn't work if monitor not physically connected to the box.

Once monitor connected, even if monitor is not powered up, vnc resumed to work correctly. But it looked senseless for me, what a point to have Linux box controlled via vnc if I still have to connect monitor, it drove me crazy !Today I have found a solution and want to share with you. It is not my idea I have found it here :K7V FreeNAS system won't start without a monitor. - alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.asus | Google GroupsThe idea is to create "fake monitor" which cheats graphic card, makes it think a monitor is connected. I have bought a VGA connector then:

Connect 75 ohm resistor from pin 1 to pin 6
Connect 75 ohm resistor from pin 2 to pin 7
Connect 75 ohm resistor from pin 3 to pin 8

Debian :: Monitor Not Detected Unless Connected With HDMI

Nov 13, 2015

I noticed that Debian 8 has a significant bug related to detecting presence of display(s). Today, I woke my computer from sleep while the LCD monitor was unplugged from power (the monitor is connected via DVI) then I powered the monitor but nothing was displayed. Next, I connected another monitor via HDMI and both screens started working. However after disconnecting HDMI cable from the second monitor the first one with DVI stopped showing anything. The conclusion of this situation is that HDMI monitor must be connected all the time.

I thought that this is caused by graphics driver, but I experienced the problem on different machines, one with nvidia driver and DVI, and the second with default free driver and DisplayPort.

I just checked that this is related to KDE. After switching to console using ctrl+alt+f1 the screen turns on, but when I am going back via ctrl+alt+f7 the screen disappears.

General :: Ubuntu - Run A Script When An External Monitor Is Connected?

How can I detect when an external monitor is connected in linux? I need to run various scripts to set up my workspace. Is there some clever way to kick off a script when the monitor state has changed? I'm using the Nvidia display driver.

Ubuntu :: Check Via Terminal If External Monitor Is Connected?

Apr 20, 2010

Ive been wondering about an alternative method for checking to see if an external monitor is connected.
Currently I am using:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
EXTERN=VGA1
if $(xrandr --prop |grep -q "$EXTERN connected");then
echo -e "$(echo $EXTERN | tr -d [0-9]) is e[1;32mconnectede[0m"
else

[Code].....

So, what I am asking is, is there a way to ignore/over-ride compiz's texture size check, a different way to query xrandr, or is there a completely different method I can go about checking if an external monitor is connected?

Ubuntu :: Setting The Resolution For A Monitor Connected To Laptop

Jul 16, 2010

I have connected to the VGA output of my laptop a 19" monitor. I setted in Ubuntu the resolution for that monitor to 1280x1024.

Two days ago i connected the laptop to a projector. When Ubuntu detected the projector it ask me for my user password to change "i dont know what".

After using the projector I have connected the laptop to the 19" monitor again. Now I can not set the resolution for the monitor to 1280x1024 (that resolution doesn't appear in the list)....

Ubuntu Servers :: Vnc Doesn't Work Unless Monitor Is Connected

Feb 17, 2011

Last night I was able to set up my server so that I can just connect vnc. I even was able to be connected at the log on screen so I could select which user I wanted to log in at. For some reason today, I have to have the monitor plugged in all the until the logon screen comes up before vnc will connect. Once the logon screen is up, I then can connect via vnc & select which user I want to logon as. It's odd because it worked last nigh, but today - Nope nada, it doesn't work & I can't explain why. I did clean up - Removing some applications I don't need on my server. (I'm hoping that isn't the problem) It's odd as well because I don't have to be logged on as a user to connect via vnc, I just have to wait until the logon screen is available...Then I can unplugged the monitor & logon.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Monitor Is Connected Via An HDMI Cable But No Signal

Jul 21, 2011

I am running 11.04 on a new Gateway with 8 gigs of ram. It is a solo installation. The monitor is connected via an HDMI cable. Everything was great (installation running smoothly for over a month) until last night. I just installed a netgear router and was setting it up with the system to try to get Stanza on my IPAD to connect to Calibre. Anyway, i suffered a severe freeze up warranting a hard boot. I could see the drive working, ancillary drives lit up, keyboard lit up so I know the system is working. The monitor did not come on, It shows a yellow light indication no signal. It is a 28" Hansspree. I tested the monitor by hooking it to a laptop. The monitor is fine. I cannot see anything on the screen so I can't boot to repair mode or use a CD. There is no signal.

Mar 30, 2010

Can I use apcupsd to monitor my smart-ups 2200 without it being connected to a server? I have set the TCP info on the APC and can telnet into it, but I'm kinda confused by what I've been reading in the apcupsd documentation.

If someone can tell me about there experience doing this and best practice that would be awesome.

Ubuntu Networking :: Program \ Use To Monitor The Number Of Computers That Are Connected To Network And Block Them?

Feb 1, 2011

i have recently had a house mate move in and he is using my wireless network, even though i asked him not to give out the network key to his friends either he has or they have hacked my network and are using it when they come over, is there a program i can use to monitor the number of computers that are connected to my network and block them, or is there a way i can just wee what is going on. They seem to just connect and i don't want to have to change the password particularly because that involves changing it on multiple devices.

Slackware :: Automating Xorg RandR Turning Laptop Screen Off If External Monitor Is Connected?

Jan 2, 2010

I have a netbook (Acer Aspire One) I'm running Slackware 13. and usually, I prefer to connect an external monitor. When I switch my machine on with the monitor connected, the display is duplicated on both screens and since I just want the netbook's screen to be off and only see the display on the external monitor, I can doxrandr --output LVDS --off

Great! However, it's a hassle to do this every time I log in and I'd like to automate the process if possible. I did some googling and I found that if you want to automate xrandr commands, you can put a script in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ (see this). I wrote the following script to automate my xrandr commands and since the Xsession.d directory didn't exist, I tried creating it. The script was called 45custom-xrandr_settings, as the one on the RandR wiki is called the same.

Code:
#!/bin/bash
# Check whether the external monitor is connected

Fedora :: Cannot Get Graphical Desktop On Boot When No Monitor Attached (F13)

Jun 2, 2010

I've put a fresh install of Fedora 13 x86_64 on my new server and I have it automatically log in to the gnome desktop so I can control it via VNC. However this only happens when there is a monitor physically connected when the computer boots. If there is no monitor present at boot time, there is no graphical session started, however I want it to start whether or not a monitor is present.

My hardware is a Zotac IONITX-G-E board (which has an Atom N330 and a NVidia ion chipset of some description). I'm using the Fedora default graphics driver (nouveau). Why doesn't it start a graphical session with no monitor, and is there any way to get Fedora to start one whether or not there is a monitor connected?

OpenSUSE Install :: Boot From USB Connected External Hard Take Long Time From Loading INITRD Image To Start Boot Process?

Jul 18, 2011

I have installed "open-SUSE 11.4" on a "500GB Free Agent External Hard Drive". I didn't have any problem in booting since last week that I booted it from my laptop. Also I did it before several times from then when I try to boot it e.g. from an "Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9400 @ 2.66GHz" PC the time between loading INITRD and starting boot sequence messages lasts nearly 30 minutes!(i didn't actually measure it but it take a long time in the same order). after starting boot sequence which is showed on monitor everything looks normal. e.g copy of files would be done by speeds between 2MB/s to 30 MB/s depending on the targets.I used to use the external hard derive to boot from different laptops and PC's from start but I didn't have such a problem anytime.

Fedora :: No Monitor Input During Boot, Unable To Enter Text Mode From X Window

Nov 24, 2009

I installed Fedora 11 on my system (see below) using the i686 DVD. The graphical install worked just fine, and after the system booted back up, the X server was working very well.

There is no boot text. On the other system with Fedora 11, I can see the boot text scroll by in the window and/or a progress bar at the bottom of the monitor during the boot sequence. On this system, the monitor says "No Input", and nothing appears until the login prompt for the X window. I am able to enter the BIOS configuration page and navigate through it without any issues. I can also edit the grub commands before Fedora loads without a problem.

If I boot in text mode, no login prompt appears. If I wait long enough, the monitor enters the power save mode since it is not receiving a signal. I am able to log in to the system with my user name and password, and then start the X server. Once the server starts, the monitor turns back ON and all is well.

From the X window, I use the CTL+ALT+F2 key to enter text mode. The monitor stops responding. If I press the ENTER key a couple of times, then press ALT+F7, I can briefly see the text window with a couple of login prompts before the X window starts responding again.

How can I get the text mode to work? Why is there no input to the monitor when booting?

System:
Intel D945GSEJT motherboard with Intel Atom N270 processor
2GB RAM
120GB SATA Hard Drive
Fedora 11 i686

Red Hat / Fedora :: Fedora Won't Boot Without Monitor

Aug 29, 2009

I have Fedora 10 on my machine. I'm having runlevel 5, so normally my gui starts automatically. Everything worked good. But when i try to boot without monitor plugged in, it freezes. The reason I'm doing this is I want to connect to my fedora machine via VPN (i'm thinking of using tightVNC). I need gui, cannot boot just in a text mode.The stage it freezes is the following. Without monitor it actually shows me login screen but when i enter login and password (blindly but correct), wait a bit and then plug in monitor to see what's happening it shows something like text mode. I can type whatever i want on the screen. The only way after this is ctrl+alt+del.

Fedora :: External Monitor Won't Work - Both Monitor And Laptop Screen Black

Aug 7, 2011

I am having problems getting my external monitor to work. When I plug in the monitor, both the laptop screen and the external monitor go black. When I unplug the monitor, the laptop screen works again.
When I startup with the external monitor plugged in, neither screen works or teh computer hangs or something.

I have had the external monitor going on a couple of occasions. I did manage to configure my monitors through System Settings > Display. I turned off the laptop monitor as I just want to use the external. But after rebooting, things didn't work.

I have a Thinkpad E420, Fedora 15

Fedora Hardware :: External Monitor Not Detected - Dell Laptop - Monitor

Aug 17, 2011

My software and hardware information are as follows. I have Fedora 12 and KDE 4.4.5 installed on a Dell Vostro 1500 laptop. I believe it's a 64 bit processor; it's an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU. The external monitor is a Dell as well.

My problem is that my system does not seem to be detecting an external monitor that I have connected. Everything else is working just fine; however, I would like to have the option of attaching an external monitor. When I plug the external monitor into the laptop, the external monitor remains black and appears to be in power save mode. The results of xrandr -q (with or without the external monitor attached: it doesn't appear to change) are as follows.

Code:

How can I get my laptop to recognize that the external monitor is even connected? Let me know if I can be more specific or provide additional details.

Ubuntu Installation :: Cannot Boot Without External HDD Connected

Feb 28, 2010

I just recently installed ubuntu. I had always used windows before, and I wanted to try something different. My laptop's internal HDD is pretty full so I decided to install ubuntu on my 500gb external HDD. It is connected via USB A to USB B. So I run through the installation no problems at all. I partitioned 200gb of the external HDD for ubuntu. After install I could run ubuntu just fine and I really like it.

However now it boots through GRUB. I am not really sure what GRUB is but it says GRUB loading every time I boot up and then lets me choose what os to boot, but if I do not have my external HDD plugged in then GRUB fails to start and I cannot boot at all from my laptop. Is there a way that I can get it to boot windows from the internal HDD without having the external HDD?

Ubuntu :: Boot Hangs When USB KVM Switch Is Connected?

Apr 14, 2010

Basically the situation is that the boot hangs if my USB KVM switch is connected. The keyboard works fine through the KVM switch to access the BIOS menu and in the grub2 menu, but as soon as it starts to boot, I get a black screen with a white cursor on top which never goes anywhere.The weird part is that if I disconnect the KVM and reboot, it gets past this point and I can reconnect the KVM and both the mouse and keyboard work normally.However, even if I plug the keyboard in directly but leave the KVM plugged in, the boot hangs. Something about the fact that the KVM is connected (rather than not detecting keyboard) is causing the boot to stall.

The even weirder part is that this worked fine on my previous build, which was 8.04 upgraded sequentially to 9.10. But my system drive died so I rebuilt directly from 9.10 ISO and now this does work. I have tried downgraded to grub .97, I have tried switching between server and generic kernels.This seems to be the same issue reported in[URL]

Ubuntu Installation :: Karmic Cd Won't Boot With Wd15ears Hdd Connected?

Booting from the CD works fine when I don't have any drives connected, or some other drives connected, but if my new wd15ears 1.5TB hdd is connected, after the boot menu the pulsating ubuntu logo will pulsate for a while, and then I'll only see the blinking cursor in the top left corner of my screen. The hdd light is constantly on and nothing happens. Can anyone help me please? Is there a way to put the boot in verbose mode so I can see what fails, instead of seeing the ubuntu logo?
