how to connect using my TV as a monitor using SVideo cables. I connect the computer and it boots up fine so that I can see it booting up with Grub until Ubuntu loads then the screen goes black and starts to flicker. I was previously able to connect using Windows can I do the same with Ubuntu and do I need to upload drivers.
i've installed 10.04 on my computer with a radeon 9550, it's an old one I know. Anyway I'm trying to get the TV output working. I've tried this solution: [URL]
the xrandr says that the S-video is disconnected alhouth it's connected. I've tried another solution here: [URL]
This thread didn't solved the issue also: [URL]
but I can't find a xorg.conf file on my system so I don't know how to add the lines. also in my case the s-video seems detected just disconnected.
Does this bug applies to my situation? if I understand correctly there is a patch for that, how can I apply it? [URL]
i have no idea if anyone can help. linux has been nothing but a hassle for me. i just wanted something that wouldn't be affected by viruses. to the point though. i read an thread on here about using fdisk to format sd cards. tried everything it said, not only did it not work but now my svideo to my tv no longer works. i have ubuntu 8.04 (yes i would upgrade but i can't bc for some reason anything newer won't work on my laptop)
So I'm sitting on some components from my old pc build and am looking to stream over my tv once again. My decision rests on do I build the box, run Boxee and/or Windows Media Platform to keep the box with my TV or do I buy the 35ft RCA video cable and dvi composite out adapter for my video card and go that route? All my music and media is stored on a external backup drive so the box I build would not have access to the media unless I could create a wireless network but I do not know how to do this with Ubuntu. Anyone willing to hold my hand and help me walk through this to get a decision made?
I have a strange problem regarding the connection to a LAN. I have a asus eeepc 1000H with Ubuntu netbook remix 9.10 (dual boot with WinXp). I've discovered two days ago that one of the pins from the ethernet port is pushed inside. This led to the fact that my netbook is not capable to deal with some UTP cables in the sense that it won't connect at the network through this cables. These cables work perfectly for any other computer.This is true for XP - for Ubuntu I found that it is not possible at all to connect through any cable at a LAN. There is an exception to that - my internet connection at home is done through PPPOE and I am able to access the internet through Ubuntu and WinXp.
Asus Romania won't honor the warranty (in their opinion I abused the product and it is my fault - fair enough - it is my fault since I am the single owner of the product - and I am connecting it in various locations to various ethernet cables) and in order to fix it they told me they will need to change the entire motherboard - which I guess it will cost me a price close to the price of the netbook itself - and I don't want to pay that much just for a pushed inside pin. (I wrote these to avoid questions regarding the warranty).I can live with the fact that some of the ethernet/UTP cables won't work with my netbook - but I can't live with the fact that the Ubuntu OS is not capable to connect to the internet through the ethernet port in any other locations besides my home. I require help in order to establish if there is something wrong with the Ubuntu ethernet settings or the Ubuntu OS is not capable to connect to internet through the faulty ethernet port (WinXp can).
I have a 64 bit install of Ubuntu 10.04, I was surfing up to 11:30pm EST last night, shut down for the night, upon reboot am unable to connect to the internet or my local network. Ubuntu seems to think that I have no ethernet cables connected.My networking is controlled by my motherboard (Gigabyte P55A-UD4P) and the problem is not on my cable modems side. The modem has multiple wired jacks, all of them are unresponsive with my Ubuntu PC while my roommate can connect to all of them with his Windows 7 PC. Both network cables (the one connecting to his box and the one connecting to mine) are interchangeable: They both work on his and neither on mine, so there is no broken cable.I've followed the troubleshooting in other posts, here are some commonly requested diagnostics:
ifconfig -a Code: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 6c:f0:49:53:1f:c0
I have dell dimension 4700 I installed slackware 12.2 onto with the of making it a headless home network jukebox that I could ssh into and control via a crossover cable.From other posts I've seen, it looks like I just need to set up the IP addresses under the same netmask, and can use ssh then. On the slackware machine, it does not seem to recognize an eth device.
Code:
# dmesg | grep eth Driver 'st' needs updating - please use bus_type methods Driver 'sd' needs updating - please use bus_type methods Driver 'sr' needs updating - please use bus_type methods
I have a broken ssd in my acer aspire one. I bought a Toshiba MK3006GAL 30 GB 1.8" iPod laptop HDD, and planned to make a switch. however, the zif or tif cables are different sizes. the ssd has a way smalled cable it looks like. I know nothing about switching these...i thought i could just plug it in and be ready to go. I also ordered a ZIF/LIF Ribbon Cable FFC for Toshiba 1.8"HDD Drive 56mm, i dont have it yet.
im trying to connect two computers on lan.One computer has: VMWare Workstation and has Opensuse 11.3 mounted in it.The other computer has: VMWare Player and has Opensuse 11.3 mounted in it.Both computers are connected to a switch with cables.I have followed this guide in both computers:Depanati singuri calculatorul!: Opensuse 11.3 - configure local networkin order to setup a network.In one computer, if i go to: Computer---Network---Network folder, i only see one machine. When in fact i could see both of them right
Running 10.10 and win 7 on my HP dv6-2150us laptop and I'm having a few issues.
First how do I get HDMI audio output to my TV? I think I have just a integrated Intel graphics card. It works fine in windows but I can't seem to get it to work in Ubuntu. I tried searching but couldn't find anything pertaining to this issue.
I am sure that this is very simple but I have installed sound juicer and the gstreamer plug ins. The problem is i still cannot select MP3 as an output output option
I don't know anything about ubuntu. Could you guys help me out. I'm pretty knowledgeable with windows if you guys need a printout of something let me know. My friends getting really frustrated about this. Help!!i
So here's the situation. He plugs his audio jack into his computer and then into the speakers but it still plays from the computer speakers.
I finally got audio working on my ubuntu 9.10 desktop... now I am having sound issues watching movies from a network share.The sound device continually randomly changes to "dummy output device" and then there is no sound output. The sound icon dissapears on the toolbar. To get it back and audio to start working I have to $sudo alsa force-reloadIt seems to happen everytime there is a network delay, the movie will stop for a second and then when it plays the sound is gone
I'm still trying to find out if my coby mp3 player will actually play mtv video files as is advertised.
ffmpeg -formats does list mtv but the only command I really ever used was one to convert a vid to an mp3 so I tried Code: ffmpeg -i test.mp4 -acodec copy output.mtv it returns Code: Unable to find a suitable output format for 'output.mtv' I can't find any mtv files online for purchase or free for that matter, so I know this is all pretty obscure but shouldn't there be a way to convert them since ffmpeg lists mtv format?
I'm using awk to read lines of text from files based on user input. My code looks like this:
Code:
awk 'NR==4' "/home/username/folder/$variable"
This code displays the fourth line of text from the named file. In this case, the fourth line of text is a new path. I want to then move a different file to this new path but I can't figure out the correct syntax to do this.
This is a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10 64bit on a Compaq 6715b laptop.Everything is working OK except the fingerprint reader. So to look for the device I did this:
Code:
sudo lshw
but was a bit alarmed when I saw this:
*-volume:0 description: EXT4 volume vendor: Linux physical id: 1 bus info: scsi@0:0.0.0,1
I am using ubuntu 10.04 and I installed svgalib 1.4.3 and while i run a simple c graphics program I can't get the output of this instead its getting an output in a black screen saying"USING VGA driversvgalib 1.4.3"
I ve done lsusb and it finds the usb speakers. but I cant get an output at all, whatever I do in preferences/sound or preferences/pulseaudio preferences.Booted with XP and speakers work fine. Sound worked fine with Lucid and has done until today with Maverick, did have similar probs with sound going sometimes with Karmic, but they could always be sorted by adjusting the settings, cant get anything and its sudden,
This started today in my session: no audio output. In sound preferences, hardware, in Profile, the options are now Off and Analog mono input. In Output tab, I see Dummy output stereo as the device. Nothing is muted.
I just upgraded from Ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 today, and went to watch a movie on my hard drive. I typically do this with an S-Video cord on my TV. In Ubuntu 9.04 I did so simply by plugging in the S-Video cord, then pressing FN+F4 on my keyboard. Worked like a charm.
After the upgrade the same key combination just changes my resolution setting.
I recently installed Kubuntu 9.10 (I think, the latest anyway) on my gf's computer. Everything works great, except for the sound output. The volume control works, (both the buttons on the computer and inside Kubuntu) but there is no sound output whatsoever (not in vlc, system sound etc). Ive googled a little, and I've seen some tips about get it, right click in on sound settings in the panel, and choosing preferences, I don't seem to have that tab, however I've got a "show mixer window" where I the can adjust volume.
I've got 2 tabs here ; 'HDA ATI SB' and 'HDA ATI HDMI' I guess the first one is the one that is the ordinary output, the other if I connect a tv or something. I've also read something about 'alsa' and 'alsamix' I don't seem to have that one, and I've tried sudo apt- but I've haven't been able to find it. I dont know if it is of any importance, but it is the 64bit version of Kubuntu. I'm not sure about exactly what soundcard and driver I've got, but the computer (laptop) is a pretty new HP, and when I run:
Code: cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#*| grep Codec I get the answer Code: Codec : IDT 92HD75B3X5
I'm running a Toshiba Satellite laptop and am having trouble with the function or Fn keys. When running xev from the terminal I get no output for when I press the Fn key and I can't assign any keyboard shortcuts using it. However I'm still able to use some of the Fn+F# combos such as lock the screen or mute.
