General :: HDMI Connection Under Dual Boot?
Oct 8, 2010
i'm new in linux and i have a problem with my hdmi lcd under linux. To be more precise , my graphic card is an Nvidia GTX 295 with hdmi output to a Dell 2408W LCD screen and the problem is that linux can't see the hdmi connection, working just with DVI or VGA. I also have Windows 7 in dual boot with linux and in windows it works just fine. To mention that i tried several linux distributions: Ubuntu, Ubuntu ultimate 2.7 and Sabayon 5.4.

I am new to Linux and Debian. I have Compaq Presario R3000 laptop, which is 5 years old now. I have RealTek RTL8139 family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC. Currently I have a broadband connection at home. I have dual boot Windows XP Professional and Debian (which I installed a week ago through CD). I have done some preliminary tests for the network and I am posting the screenshots for the tests (e.g. lspci, ifconfig, etc.). I also did two more commands. For 'cat /etc/network/ifstate' the output was 'No such file or directory'. Same output was for the command 'cat /etc/network/options'.

I currently use "MSI Radeon HD 3650 Graphics Card - ATi Radeon HD 3650 750MHz - 512MB GDDR3 SDRAM - PCI Express" that have no HDMI and some problems with Ubuntu. Due to the Ubuntu compatibility problems I decided to ask you guys for recommendations before upgrading to a new video card.The only "demand" is that the card must have dual HDMI outputs, one for the monitor and one for the TV.

I have a one ubuntu machine, that has two displays are fixed, and I used to have a vnc connection from a debian pc. but the thing is each time I connected to this ubuntu pc, i usually get my connection to the primary display. Is there a method, that I can display both displays, at once, and I have a scroll bar to scroll between each of them. I tried to specify a port as,
xvnc4viewer 192.168.1.1:5900 -> goes to the primary display
xvnc4viewer 192.168.1.1:5901 -> goes to the secondary display
but Isn't there a method that I can view both of them at once?

Just thought I might save someone some time if they are trying to use Mythbuntu with a Samsung LED TV. If you run into the issue where the desktop is larger than the screen even with everything set to 1920x1080i and you tried a customized EDID file to no avail. Go into the menu on the TV and select Source List, Edit Name, then chose the HDMI and change the name to be either PC, DVI or DVI-PC. Either of these three setting should correct the over sized display issue.
Now if you happen to want audio over HDMI and are using the HDMI Computer connector that Samsung so nicely provides. Make sure you don't choose either of the DVI options above as these mute the audio coming over the HDMI connector and instead enable the pin audio jack next to the HDMI connector.

I have a Zotac MAG HD N01 desktop computer hooked up to my 40" LCD Samsung TV in the living room. On this machine, I have Ubuntu 9.10 minimal installed, and the system is configured using the XCI script (a customization script to configure the system as an HTPC with XBMC).
Now, since the original install, I've tweak it a little, and one of the things I have it doing is its booting into a minimal desktop using the NODM login manager and it goes into OpenBox. Everything works fine and dandy, however, when I leave it for a while, it looses its connection and says "Searching for Signal" on my TV. I can remedy the situation by just hitting a key on the keyboard (Ctrl for example).
This also happens if i'm watching, say a flash video in a web browser for a while (like a hockey game), and all of a sudden, the screen cuts out.I've checked in the openbox configuration, and screensaver is turned off, but I can't seem to find where to configure any sort of power management. Is there a way to turn off the, what I can only assume, is a power management feature?

No video from mplayer/xine/vlc with HDMI connection I just plugged in my new monitor using a HDMI cable. Display is perfect everywhere except in video players. Flash video worksfine. I guess there's some overlay setting that needs to be changed?
VLC plays some bizarre 'ASCII art' thing instead of video files. Other players give me audio but no picture.
TVTime is the same - sound but no image
Also, there is no sound via HDMI from the screen but that's a secondary issue.

The problem is this: I have a 320gb HDD splitted in 4 partitions. When I first installed Windows XP I formatted the HDD in 3 (Windows system partition, Media partition and another one I left for Linux). However Linux requires another partition for swap. Everything was just fine. One day Windows stopped working and I tried re-installing it. After the system was ready to start, Windows failed to boot with "NTLDR is missing" message. I tried to recover the Master boot record, even replaced NTLDR manually - nothing worked. I read that in order a HDD to be partitioned in more than 3 parts the so called "extended" partitions must be created. I think this may cause the problem but I don't want to wipe out everything (I have more than 100 GB of books most of which are not available anymore in the same locations I have downloaded them)

I am working on another's Dell Inspiron 530 with Vista 64-bit; see below:
[code]....
wanting a dual-boot, 500GB hdd was formatted as above, Win Vista x64 Recovery CD was created, and antiX-M11 (as Swift Linux 0_1_1) installed. Now, at startup, machine boots to antiX and not Vista. User wants it the other way around. I think I should have reordered the partitions and not installed GRUB in MBR. EasyBCD is the preferred boot loader for User. This is a learning experience but due to time constraints and not being at my home where references are available, EasyBCD is on a USB stick -- should I boot to the Vista Recovery CD and then try to install EasyBCD to sda3 from it, uninstall antiX (but this will not fix the MBR problem, will it?), or edit fstab or what

I have a PC with three HD's. My primary hard drive has a single partition and contains Win XP SP3. I have a second hard drive which I use to store junk (pictures, movies, etc). The third, 60GB HD, I just put into my PC and I wanted to install Fedora 11 onto it. I want to have a dual boot system with WinXP being the default boot. I downloaded the latest build of Fedora 11, created a LiveCD out of it and I tried to install the OS onto this third new hard drive. I installed the OS, I told it to use the entire third HD and to have a dual boot setup and make the WinXP OS be the default boot. The installation seemed to go without any problems. However, after restarting the PC, the PC stops booting right after the DELL screen. It gives me a cursor and that's it. It just sits there. I have tried redoing the install about 4 different times now and no matter how I change the different installation options, I get the same result. Now I can't even boot into XP even after I disconnect the third drive. I am guessing that the dual boot got screwed up; I just don't know how to fix it and more importantly, how to install Fedora, dual boot.

I currently have fedora 10 installed and want to set up the hdd to dual boot xp. If anyone could give a guide or suggestion on the best way to do this it would be great. I prefer to not start over even though it would be easier to dual boot linux into an xp host.

Haven't been browsing for long, so this may have been covered already. I'm sure it's a common question but which distro would you prefer for a dual boot on a laptop, running alongside Vista? I've shrunk my Windows partition and opened a 10GB space for new business. I don't know a lot about different distros but boot Ubuntu 10.10 and XP on my desktop. Would this be the best choice?

I am going to install the newest version of Ubuntu on my computer. I am currently running Vista. I would like to be able to dual boot. I understand the whole partitioning deal and booting from the cd but i am worried that doing so will overwrite my Master Boot Record for windows. Do I need to modify the GRUB2 after installation. Read many writeups but was hoping for some input.

I have an OSS 11.3/WinXPPro dual boot system. Unfortunately, Windows is a mess because of a botched restoration. I guess I need to start again from scratch. I assume if I attempt to reinstall Windoze that the whole dual boot system is going to get botched up anyway.I would like to know what would be the best approach since I am going to start by installing Windoze to the HD. Here is a readout of what I currently have from gparted:
Partition / File Sys / Mount Point / Flags
/dev/sda1 ntfs /media/sda1
/dev/sda2 extended boot,lba

I realise this is an issue that has been covered a lot, one way or another, but at least from what I've been able to find, most of the discussion centres around getting HDMI audio to work. However, I have problems even getting the video to work from my laptop's HDMI output.
I have an HP dv6z-se, with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 6550 (1 Gb) video card and using F14/KDE. My problem is that when I go to System Settings/Display/Monitor, Fedora doesn't actually seem to realise my computer even has an HDMI output and only displays options for VGA and my integrated screen.
When I plug it into my LCD screen, sometimes I get a 'No Signal' message and sometimes I get garbled static and a message about unrecognised input and the frequency it's coming at.
I read elsewhere in the forum that someone was able to get video working by editing their xorg.conf file, so I went in and tried to see if I could replicate that, but none of the files in my xorg.conf.d folder had anything related to video outputs (as far as I can tell at this point).

I had a dual boot machine with fedora 12 and windows vista and I could use grub boot-loader to switch between two. Few days ago windows got corrupt and I have to reinstall it. I put windows 7 now and as usual it erased grub. So to reinstall I put the fedora 12 installation CD on and followed some usual setup steps. When I got the command line I issued the command "grub-install /dev/sda" (sda not hda because It showed bunch of sda, sda1..) but surprisingly it said grub command not found. I remember doing it before while it worked fine.

I have a TV connected to my 11.4 laptop all the time, when I boot Grub outputs its options on the TV screen, then lizard appears for a couple of seconds and then it switches to notebook monitor to continue booting. Or not. About half the time both screens, TV and notebook, go black and nothing happens.
So far I just reboot and wait until the switch from tv to monitor is successful, if that happens everything boots and loads fine. It's like unwatched milk - everything is okay until the moment you turn away and the milk boils over. Boot hardly ever fails if I sit and watch it but sometimes I get two fails in a row.
Never seen this behavior with 11.3 on the same notebook with the same hdmi always plugged in.It's a Core i5 with integrated Intel and a separate nVidia graphic card, what other info is needed? Grub? Dmesg output? Maybe there's a boot log file somewhere, too.

It's been a while since I last installed a Linux distro on a machine that already houses another OS. I want to install OpenSuse (11.2) on a spare external drive that I have which will be connected to my PC through USB. The PC however, houses four other drives: one drive that has WinXP installed on it (NTFS) which is my normal boot drive, and three data drives - all NTFS.
Like I said, I want to install OpenSuse on the external drive through a network install. I don't want to end up with a boot menu where I can choose between OpenSuse and XP, I simply want to boot from the XP drive by default and boot from the USB drive when I tell my system to do so (I can call up a boot menu where I can tell my PC from which drive to boot).
Now I have done this many times - albeit too long ago to remember how I did it. I do remember however that last time I tried to do it, it installed a boot menu on my XP boot drive, and I had a hell of a time removing it. What do I need to look out for to prevent this from happening? How do I make sure nothing is changed on the other four drives? (The safest way would be to simply disconnect the other four drives from my system and install OpenSuse on the USB drive of course

In my recent tribulations getting Linux based tools working at work I've gotten a lot of good answers just by searching here. But since this question is very subjective, and details are important, my searches just weren't quite working out.
I've been using Linux off and on since 94, Slackware... a stack of floppies as long as my arm. I say off and on because I've always been of the opinion that Windows had a superior selection of ready-to-run desktop software... I still think that's true, but since I'm pushing open source more at work ($44K a year to use Exchange? Seriously?) I figure it's time to throw in behind it at home, too.
My biggest hangup with a total transition is gaming. I can handle my desktop suite needs just fine with Open/LibreOffice and Seamonkey. The limited work I do with graphics and sound can be handled just as easily with existing open source applications (though I'm not really sure about video playback, yet. Finding good codecs for HD video that work well with Linux based players, WMP and Windows Media Center is kind of a pain in the ass.) Hell, pretty much everything I do on a day to day basis... a drastic improvement over 5 years ago.
The games, on the other hand, are killer. Two of my off and on favorites, World of Warcraft and EVE Online are reportedly well supported by Wine. A good chunk of my game collection, though, was purchased through Steam, which I understand has some issues with Wine. And there's also concerns about future games that get released ... some of which is offset by the constant improvement in Wine and similar packages.
What I'm considering as an option is simply going with Xen for a paravirt Windows guest and running my games in that. What I need to know, though, is how well will that conceivably work? Will a Windows XP or 7 (which one would I want?) guest in a Xen DomU have better gaming support than Wine provides? What other things am I not taking in to consideration that I should? Should I use Xen or whatever the free VMWare is (I'd prefer Xen, open source and all, but it VMWare would really do the job where Xen wouldn't...)?
AMD Phenom X4 955
8GB RAM
SATA 30GB SSD
2TB RAID storage which I would prefer to keep as a single chunk, but meh... it's 2TB.
I have installed CentOS 5.3-5.5, FC 13 and 14. Ubuntu, Debian and., all the major distros and all the hardware is supported by the prebuilt kernels.
Actual uses: MP3 rip/playback. Web browsing. Quicken. Occasional word processing/spreadsheet, media conversion including the dreaded DVD ripping (I buy the DVDs for my kids, but they can't touch them :P), and... hell, whatever it is that we do with our desktops and take for granted. Games. Lots of DirectX games.
