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 again [17:39] Azelphur: I'd check with xrandr [17:39] full cold boot with it in? read Xorg.0.log? [17:39] daftykins trying that now, brb [17:39] though i prefer penguin42's idea :D [17:39] guys look what they're doing to our simple island! [17:39] https://www.dropbox.com/s/cz32cipbv8fdu8s/IMG_20150314_171952.jpg?dl=0 [17:39] it's a... it's a Starbucks O_O [17:41] civilisation at last [17:41] (although I generally prefer Cafe Nero's for hot chocolate) [17:41] we already have 2 Costa [17:43] * daftykins giggles at Quicktime still not doing full screen [17:45] in other news it's cruise ship season almost [17:45] https://www.dropbox.com/s/59cmq6ancgf1gwl/IMG_20150314_164658.jpg?dl=0 [17:48] daftykins, hmm strange after a reboot it just doesn't talk to the laptop at all [17:48] how about xrandr as penguin42 suggested? no output? [17:49] daftykins, says everything is disconnected [17:50] Xorg log even see it? [17:50] daftykins, yup, it's gone lol [17:51] guess that tv is a little dead too [17:51] one of those cheap foreign brands? [17:51] bush, so yea :p [17:51] hrmm [17:54] I 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 gone [17:55] Azelphur: 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 o0 [17:55] i'd expect there to be something in there for sure [17:56] daftykins, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10598533/ [17:58] mmm LVDS and VGA [18:00] I 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 disabled [18:01] i do always giggle at that [18:01] "it works, honest!" [18:17] that is weird, you sure you've got an HDMI socket :-) [18:17] Azelphur: Is this a laptop with both an Intel and an Nvidia/ATI chip? [18:19] you'd see some nouveau talk or radeon talk i would think [18:19] daftykins: No, not necessarily [18:19] penguin42, yup [18:19] o rry [18:19] daftykins: The BIOS can switch between them and if the bios switches the nvidia off the host doesn't see it [18:19] Azelphur: 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 bios [18:20] see everyone always says this, but actually i've only seen BIOS switchable with nvidia in about 5% or less of cases [18:20] typically it just does the whole drawing via the intel [18:20] penguin42, never needed to do that before [18:20] daftykins: Yeh they only happen on higher end laptops and then some of them only wire some of the ports through some of the controllers [18:20] i've got an optimus asus myself [18:21] daftykins: I've fought a couple of thinkpads with them in the past [18:24] it's become so much more messy to advise intel+nvidia hybrid graphics installs in #ubuntu :( [18:24] Azelphur: I suspect that after the reboot the nvidia has kicked out and hence you're now only seeing the Intel for some reason [18:24] had one the other day that didn't work with my suggestions, but then the user installed just nvidia-331 and it worked o0 [18:26] yeh I've only run them in one mode or the other not the joint mode [18:27] mmm, i've never seen setups where that's a choice [18:27] other than to say, not install anything nvidia [18:27] the Lenovo's had bios settings to let you choose between the 3 modes [18:29] hmm [18:29] that would definitely be nicer [18:31] hmm [18:31] met a girl las night again who i already briefly know..really pretty black girl [18:32] may aswell ask her out..gives me something to do [18:32] then i can moan when it goes wrong [18:32] ;] [18:33] good luck :-) [20:03] evening all [20:03] allo popey [22:15] daftykins, http://netalyzr.icsi.berkeley.edu/ [22:15] err [22:16] shame it's java
