Ubuntu :: Laptop Shutdown When Playing Video Over HDMI / Sort It?

May 21, 2010

I have a weird problem, i have an LG LCD screen that i connect to my laptop via HDMI through nVidia. I was watching full length movies and everything worked perfectly. So, i got myself a new, slightly bigger LG LCD, and now, when I play a movie, about 20-60 minutes into the movie, my machine just turns off. doesnt even shutdown properly, just turns itself off, as if the power ran out (which it didnt..)

I thought maybe i had too many things installed, or mabe i should wait for a new version.. so i waited till i reinstalled a fresh 10.4 on a new partition, played a movie, and again, the machine just suddenly turned itself off.

i tried looking in the system log viewer, but between shutdown and startup, i see nothing special (besides ALOT of "rt_ioctl_giwscan. 1(1) BSS returned, data->length = 105")..

i tried running 64bit & 32bit and it has the same error.

Fedora :: HDMI Video Output On F14 - HDMI Does Not Appear As Option

Feb 8, 2011

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).

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Optimus Workaround Idea For Playing Through HDMI

May 14, 2011

I've been waiting for nVidia for too long or any genius for me to get things working about my ASUS N53JF and this Optimus tech on it.My brother has a FULL HD 1080P waiting for me Is there a way I could get HDMI through his tv without paying for another laptop or nettop or media player.I saved the original HD image with Windows 7 that came with it but oh my. i don't want to come back to Windows.I've been in Ubuntu since Lucid Lynx (that was on my Sony VAIO VGN-AW120D, now waiting to be repared - no money for the reparation broke).

I thought that I would insert the Windows 7 HD image each time I go visit my brother but do any of you have other solutions .. workaround? I mean stable solution, i've heard that Optimus is no where near what Windows 7 can do with this technology Optimus workaround idea for playing through HDMI.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Encrypted DVDs Suddenly Stopped Playing / Sort It?

Jun 12, 2010

I'm new to posting around here, but have used this forum for years and always have found a solution via search, but this time I couldn't find anyone with quite the same problem.

I've been using 8.04 on an old laptop for quite a while and have been able to watch encrypted DVDs, as I have installed all the proper drivers.

But suddenly, every time I insert an encrypted DVD, it will mount and I can see the name of it and browse the files, but neither MPlayer nor VLC will play it.

I know the drive works, because if I boot into XP I can watch them there.

I already tried reinstalling the drivers and am out of ideas.

Ubuntu :: NIC Not Turned Off On System Shutdown / Sort It?

Feb 26, 2010

It appears I've got some strange driver problem.. When I shut down this computer, the NIC apparently doesn't go off. The LEDs next to the ethernet socket keep blinking, so does the LED on my ethernet switch.

I don't have this problem when using XP, only Karmic. That leads me to think that there's something wrong with the network driver. My NIC is on-board, the ASUS M3A32-MVP. According to System Info this is the Marvell 88E8056 PCI-E.
It seems like ASUS doesn't have the drivers on their website (anymore), because their website search returns empty handed. Also the motherboard product page doesn't appear to know it.

Anyone have any tips / ideas? I'm just unplugging the machine before turning it off now... as it appears to be disturbing the rest of my network

Ubuntu :: Ktorrent Shutdown Plugin Not Working / Sort It?

Mar 5, 2010

I am using Ktorrent 3.3.4 (compiled - using KDE 4.3.2) on Ubuntu version 9.10 (Ubuntu 2.6.31-19-generic)

I have tested the shutdown plugin to shutdown when all torrents stop downloading and also tested by selecting when events below happen and manually selecting the torrents.

I have the shutdown button selected.

However on both occasions my PC does not shutdown after the downloads have completed.

What am I doing wrong? Or is it because I am on Ubuntu and using the Gnome desktop and this only works for KDE?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: HDMI Not Working With HP Laptop?

Apr 29, 2011

I recently installed Ubuntu 11.04 on my HP Pavilion dv4-1040ee laptop which was shipped with nVidia GeForce 9200M GS graphics card, the only problem that I'm currently facing is that the computer was not able to detect my screen by using the HDMI port. So, I thought that may be it was a driver's issue so I installed the latest nVidia dirvers by using the command

Code:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
When I restarted the computer nVidia's logo appeared during booting and nVidia X Server

Nov 25, 2010

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on an Acer Aspire 6930 with an nVidia GeForce 9300m GS hooked up to my LG TV via HDMI.I have used the nVidia configuration tool to set the TV as a clone of my desktop and all appears to be working fine except for one thing.When I close my laptop lid, the TV also blanks.I know I could turn off my laptop monitor from within the nVidia config tool, but that is not what I want to do as I still use it; and besides, it's inconvenient to have to do it all the time.

Ubuntu :: Laptop LCD Shuts Down While Playing HoN

Jan 28, 2010

I just had my laptop in the shop for a month or so now (through Staples warrenty) I sent it in because my LCD monitor wasn't lighting up after a bit of use.

Got it back and they said my issue could not be replicated, so they just cleaned it and such and gave it back. Well so far it's been going pretty good, monitor stays on except when i turn on Heroes of Newerth.

What kind of problem is this and is it easily fixable?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Best Video Card For H.264 And HDMI?

Jul 2, 2010

I'm looking to put a new video card in my desktop. I need one that will be able to handle H.264 at 1920x1080, and I would like to find one that can do HDMI with audio. Shopping for video cards, as I heard somewhere, is the kind of thing that makes you want to bang your head against a wall until you go blind, because then you won't need to worry about it any more... someone will be able to recommend a model, or at least a chipset or something, before I rip my own eyes out.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: No HDMI Video Output ?

Feb 17, 2011

Hardware: HP dv3505ea laptop
Ubuntu: 10.04 LTS
uname -a: Linux adventure 2.6.32-28-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jan 10 23:42:43 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux
HDTV: Panasonic TX-L37D28BSA

I'm having trouble getting any output from my laptop's HDMI socket. I've had a search and can only find sound problems, mine is no visible output whatsoever.

Let me describe the setup: Laptop has a HDMI socket which I have never used before, HDTV has 4 HDMI inputs, I just bought a HDMI cable to connect the two to try it.

After connection I go to System->Preferences->Monitors and the TV is detected fine with the correct description and offers me 3 different resolutions. xrandr also works and gives me the same thing:

Code:

However none of the options display ANYTHING on the TV. The screen remains black, not even a flicker.

I have connected the laptop to the TV before using an analogue VGA (monitor) cable which worked in the same way with no problems.

Could this be an encryption/DRM/DVI problem? I have suspicions about the cable too because it is new and I haven't seen it work, but it wouldn't detect the correct TV description and resolutions would it? It was sold as an XBOX360/PS3 HDMI cable, is there a difference? It looks like a standard HDMI male-male cable.

Other things I've tried:
Log off and log back on to restart the X server
reboot

Some more stuff:

Ubuntu Multimedia :: HDMI Out Only Partial Video

Jun 19, 2011

I've recently tried using my HDMI port on my Acer Timelinex 3820T. Audio works perfectly; video is another story altogether, however. I am able to see my mouse on my TV screen, and my top panel of my desktop is partially visible (it's cut out at the top). The icons on this panel respond to mouse kicks.

Below the panel is just a black screen.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Looking For Dual HDMI Video Card

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.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Losing The HDMI Video Connection?

Sep 15, 2010

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?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: HDMI Video Stopped Working?

I started the computer, everything came up fine but the projector I have attached to the HDMI wasn't recognized anymore. I have a GeForce GT 425M and a Panasonic AE-2000 attached to it. The Xorg.0.log has following entries:

for screen 1.

Debian Multimedia :: Keep Laptop Screen Lit When Plugging In HDMI Monitor

May 7, 2015

Where the script is for Gnome 3. When I plug the HDMI cable, the desktop expands to include both, but disables the backlight on the laptop monitor. I have to restart gdm3 or the laptop for the brightness control to bring it back up. First, why would it turn brightness to 0, and how do I change the default of that so it stops. I plug and unplug the HDMI regualarly while I wait for a new desktop and the laptop has to pull double duty.

I just switched from Ubuntu 14.10. It never blacked out a screen on plug in or removing. That means that there must be some way to do it, however, it used Unity and this is Gnome 3.

I installed KDE. It works as well. I will use it for now, but would like to get Gnome 3 to work. My default is gdm but I think I saw I can switch it to kdm.

OpenSUSE Multimedia :: Connect Toshiba X205 Laptop To TV With HDMI?

Jul 4, 2011

Off and on for some time now I've been using a Toshiba x205-s9359 laptop with (11.4/KDE4.6) during the day as a general purpose laptop using the onboard LCD and in the evenings to run XBMC to play movies on a TV using an HDMI cable (no cable TV on our little island & Satellite TV is poor in the rainy season).

The video card is an NVidia GeForce 8700M GT with NVidia's proprietary driver v. 275.09.07 (installed the "hard way").

Audio info:

Code:
~> aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC268 Analog [ALC268 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

[Code]....

Now the Audio/Video both go to the TV via HDMI if it's connected prior to boot, if not the laptop works normally.

If you try this with XBMC don't forget to go to set the XBMC settings to "HDMI" as needed.
