Azelphurhey folks, got a TV here which I plug into via HDMI. The laptop detects it, I tick enable and hit apply, the GUI still says its disabled and the display doesn't come up, but I can't enable it again17:35
penguin42Azelphur: I'd check with xrandr17:39
daftykinsfull cold boot with it in? read Xorg.0.log?17:39
Azelphur daftykins trying that now, brb17:39
daftykinsthough i prefer penguin42's idea :D17:39
daftykinsguys look what they're doing to our simple island!17:39

daftykinsit's a... it's a Starbucks O_O17:39
penguin42civilisation at last17:41
penguin42(although I generally prefer Cafe Nero's for hot chocolate)17:41
daftykinswe already have 2 Costa17:41
* daftykins giggles at Quicktime still not doing full screen17:43
daftykinsin other news it's cruise ship season almost17:45

Azelphurdaftykins, hmm strange after a reboot it just doesn't talk to the laptop at all17:48
daftykinshow about xrandr as penguin42 suggested? no output?17:48
Azelphurdaftykins, says everything is disconnected17:49
daftykinsXorg log even see it?17:50
Azelphurdaftykins, yup, it's gone lol17:50
Azelphurguess that tv is a little dead too17:51
daftykinsone of those cheap foreign brands?17:51
Azelphurbush, so yea :p17:51
daftykinshrmm17:51
AzelphurI think I'll take my laptop and test it back on my tv at home to see if it's my laptop or the tv that has gone17:54
daftykinsAzelphur: just to be sure you're not lazily grep'ing Xorg.0.log for hdmi? sometimes i've seen it come up as the wrong connection type o017:55
daftykinsi'd expect there to be something in there for sure17:55
Azelphurdaftykins, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10598533/17:56
daftykinsmmm LVDS and VGA17:58
diddledanI really don't get how that makes sense: [     3.202] (II) intel(0): RandR 1.2 enabled, ignore the following RandR disabled message. [     3.203] (--) RandR disabled18:00
daftykinsi do always giggle at that18:01
daftykins"it works, honest!"18:01
penguin42that is weird, you sure you've got an HDMI socket :-)18:17
penguin42Azelphur: Is this a laptop with both an Intel and an Nvidia/ATI chip?18:17
daftykinsyou'd see some nouveau talk or radeon talk i would think18:19
penguin42daftykins: No, not necessarily18:19
Azelphurpenguin42, yup18:19
daftykinso rry18:19
penguin42daftykins: The BIOS can switch between them and if the bios switches the nvidia off the host doesn't see it18:19
penguin42Azelphur: Right, so I suspect your HDMI port is connected only to your Nvidia, you either need bittlebee or to forcibly to switch to the nvidia in the bios18:19
daftykinssee everyone always says this, but actually i've only seen BIOS switchable with nvidia in about 5% or less of cases18:20
daftykinstypically it just does the whole drawing via the intel18:20
Azelphurpenguin42, never needed to do that before18:20
penguin42daftykins: Yeh they only happen on higher end laptops and then some of them only wire some of the ports through some of the controllers18:20
daftykinsi've got an optimus asus myself18:20
penguin42daftykins: I've fought a couple of thinkpads with them in the past18:21
daftykinsit's become so much more messy to advise intel+nvidia hybrid graphics installs in #ubuntu :(18:24
penguin42Azelphur: I suspect that after the reboot the nvidia has kicked out and hence you're now only seeing the Intel for some reason18:24
daftykinshad one the other day that didn't work with my suggestions, but then the user installed just nvidia-331 and it worked o018:24
penguin42yeh I've only run them in one mode or the other not the joint mode18:26
daftykinsmmm, i've never seen setups where that's a choice18:27
daftykinsother than to say, not install anything nvidia18:27
penguin42the Lenovo's had bios settings to let you choose between the 3 modes18:27
daftykinshmm18:29
daftykinsthat would definitely be nicer18:29
mapphmm18:31
mappmet a girl las night again who i already briefly know..really pretty black girl18:31
mappmay aswell ask her out..gives me something to do18:32
