View 5 Replies View RelatedMy problem here is the following: whenever I plug or unplug the AC cable in or out of my laptop it goes on hibernation, which is very annoying indeed. Sometimes I just want to plug it because I'm downloading something and my battery is running out.I would like to add that when my laptop goes into hibernation, and I try to bring it back up nothing happens, only the fans go on, but no activity other than that, at which point always just end up shutting the computer down cold and restarting it, which is getting to be a huge problem
View 5 Replies View RelatedI can not get any sound through my HDMI cable. Sound through my headphones works fine. But when I want sound to go through the HDMI and play on the monitor, there is no sound.
The HDMI cable is connected to my Radeon R9 270X graphics card.
My OS version is 8.1.
It works on Windows 8.1, so it is definitely an operating system problem.
I am having a problem when I hook my computer up to my tv the desktop is bigger than the screen will allow. Is there a way to shrink the desktop down so that it fits within the screen? I can not find a way to do it on the tv itself... I should also add that the resolution is set to 19201080 and the video card has a vga and dvi port. I am connecting to the tv with a dvi-hdmi cable
View 2 Replies View RelatedI bought a 25 foot dvi to hdmi cable to play movies from my computer on my plasma tv. Green pixels appear on about 20% of the plasma screen; some jump around others stay in one place. I have a nvidia GeForce 7600 GT card. The nvidia restricted drivers are installed. I also tried using a mythbuntu live cd and had the same problems. Is this a problem with a bad cable, bad driver, wrong setup, or something else? How can I get rid of the green pixels?

I connected my Latop to my Xbox 360 by HDMI cable, but nothing happens, I was expecting the screen to auto-switch or something, so I went to the monitors GUI and tried to find settings there - unsuccessfuly.
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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI went out to buy myself an nVidia G210 yesterday in order to play Quake Wars. I installed the 260.19 (latest from RPMFusion) nVidia drivers and 3D effects worked along with the game. What didn't work is the sound. I am using an HDMI cable to connect my monitor to the computer. It seems as though ALSA is not letting the digital stream through because when I play an audio file in Rhythmbox, PulseAudio Volume Control shows that the speakers are blasting music. This is strange, since nothing is coming out.

I have a home server that I have been running for some years and am constantly tweaking / playing with it resulting in numerous reinstalls (and upsetting the wife!). It does nothing critical but I use it mainly for:
backing up my laptop files
XBMC
ZoneMinder
Due to the number of times that I manage to break it, I have now thought about setting it up as a base system but with virtual machines looking after the seperate 'components'. The machine is an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ with 2Gb RAM. First of all do you think it is powerful enough to run XBMC and ZM in seperate virtual machines? - I appreciate the more RAM the better but at the moment I am sticking to 2Gb.
I was also wondering what sort of issues may arise for the audio and video areas I will be using. XBMC currently outputs through an HDMI cable to the TV and ZM recieves video signals through a seperate video card. ( I have had my concerns in the past that there have been conflicts in the way I have set things up!). I have read a number of guides about setting a system up with virtual machines but not really found any articles about the practicalities of using such a set up at home. before I commit and spend a week pulling my hair out trying to get it all to work!
I have a newly set up computer with 11.4 64 bit. Intel Core i5, under Sound Configuration in YaST I have '5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio'and 'nVidia Corporation'I have built in speakers in my screen, connected via HDMI. I hear no sound from any source, neither via HDMI, nor via a separate sound cable connected to the sound connector on the back of the computer nor via the head phone jack on the front.

Three Ethernet Cables
Two Printer Peripheral USB Cables
The Two Computers
A 2GB Flash Drive
That is all I can think of right now. I do not want to use CDs. In a way, I would like to do a network boot. So, how do I get the whole HDD visible to the others computers (either/both) and be able to write to it? I want to put Xubuntu on it, and earse the rest of the Hard Drive. The computers getting this are the iMac G3s and the eMac G4. The eMac has 256MB RAM, 40GB HDD, and a 700MHz processor. Two iMacs have 128MB RAM, 40GB HDD, and a 600MHz Processor. The other iMac is the same as the rest but has a 500MHz processor.

HDMI video out is fine, HDMI audio is a no go.
I have a computer with grub installed, and nothing else. I'd like to install Debian on it without having to burn a CD. (and I don't have any flash disks.) It has a nice ethernet card, and I have another computer right next to it with an ethernet card. I also have an ethernet cable. However, I don't have any router free which I can mess with for these purposes. As I've looked up, apparently modern Ethernet cards don't need crossover cables, normal cables will work for this type of connection.
I've tried several different "tutorials" on how to set up a netboot server, but
None of them are complete. All of them assume that you understand how DHCP works, and that you can do things like set up a dnsmasq server. I don't understand the DHCP protocol, with submasks and whatnot (I know that it is the protocol for assigning computer network addresses, and that's it), and I don't think I should have to in order to simply connect two computers. All of the tutorials give you incomplete configuration files, and ask you to fill in things which I don't understand, and for me it doesn't make sense to customize these settings, as I just want to connect them and I really don't care what ip address the TFTP server has or whatnot. All of these assume that you are going through a router. I am not. When I try googling for ways to directly connect two linux computers with an ethernet cable, I can't even find instructions, just more references to "you need crossover cables".
So basically, I have two computers directly connected by ethernet cables. Tell me what packages I need to install, what the contents of my configuration files should look like, and what, if any, commands I need to run in order that when I turn on my second computer, and select network boot, it will start up a minimal debian system.
EDIT: Hmmm, it looks like I actually have a linux kernel installed too, but no root filesystem (so no other programs besides busybox).
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).
For about the past month I have been having a very frustrating problem When I boot the system with the ethernet cable attached it acts as if the cable is unplugged even though the connection light is litWhen I boot the system with the ethernet cable disconnected and wait until it boots all the way to gnome and then plug in the cable everything works fine
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.
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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to run a script when the switch goes down and an other when it goes up. Is there an easy way to pull this off in Debian (preferably with no other than system tools)? I suppose there is no difference (in the OS point of view) between unplugging ethernet cable and the switch losing power.
On an event I get lines like these in the syslog:
Jun 15 17:49:41 debian kernel: [ 5506.956130] igb: eth1 NIC Link is Down
...
Jun 15 17:49:45 debian kernel: [ 5511.168788] igb: eth1 NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: RX/TX
In FreeBSD you can pipe log messages (pre-filtered by regex patterns) to a program. What is the easiest way to replicate this on Debian (with as little additional software as possible)?
After an upgrade to 10.04, every time I unplug the AC adapter, the laptop crashes, and immediately shuts down and restarts, and will boot up normal, and shut down again as soon as it reaches the login screen.The laptop only runs fine when the cable is plugged in.I'm assuming this has something to do with the gnome power manager.I'm running an HP Pavilion dv4-2012la .
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've been experiencing a really strange issue regarding networking. I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 for use as a server/media box, which is connected via HDMI to a TV. Everything seems to be working fine, but there's one peculiarity: the machine doesn't connect to the network (so I can't SSH to it or anything) until it loads on the HDMI display. While it's not a big deal to turn on the HDMI display and wait for Ubuntu to show GDM, I was wondering if anyone knows why I'd have to start up GDM for the machine to connect to the network, and if there's a way to fix it.
I did notice after unplugging the HDMI cable and rebooting that networking started without any trouble after boot. But it's also not very convenient to have to unplug the HDMI cable every time booting!
Not sure if it's relevant, but the graphics card is an ATI Radeon HD 4350, and I'm using the binary ATI driver (otherwise HDMI doesn't work).
i want to connect my laptop to the lcd using hdmiI have nvidia video card 9200 gs and the driver is installedafter connecting both together nothing happens!do i have to change anything in the system or display settings?
