Adult Swim regrets missing Friday Firehose...
Greetings List Lurkers, Despite my ongoing and rather dark hatred of everything Android, the adult swim will continue today sailing the open source ocean where Columbus left off...this evening we will be meeting between 5 and 7 PM at the Hedding United Methodist community facilities as per usual. This session will definitely continue our python, programming discussions, the ongoing attempt to satisfy the famous python homework contest, and show the new ground we have plowed. We Pythonista's expect to diligently work to gain some forward inertia. We have developed part of the new assignment, it is in this direction that tranquility reigns. I like the fact that we progress in organizing open source educational resources for programmers, particularly developing a Python course. Who knows, we may actually get something done! Despite these topics we also want to focus on system troubleshooting and we are always about Linux / Ubuntu system installation. With luck we will have a viewing of DTG's laptop, likely with a fresh copy of Maverick Meerkat installed. For more information about the meeting time and location try this: http://www.flint.com/adult_swim_location/index_html Come on down if you have questions or are interested in Linux or the concept of free and open systems. Finally, if you wish to be included on the Linux_adult_swim mailing list, send a response to this note.

Re: Linux Laptop HDMI Quandry
Better late than never on a reply (I hope). What are you using for drivers in your xorg.conf? Do you notice a difference between using the proprietary (*gasp*) NVidia drivers and the nouveau driver? Check out /var/log for your Xorg log files and look to see if you are having problems loading the driver you are using just to make sure it loads properly: egrep 'WW|EE' /var/log/Xorg.0.log Lines with warnings show with (WW) and lines with errors show with (EE). This might help you troubleshoot if your problem is driver related. I've had issues where I install and try to use the proprietary driver but it ends up loading the nouveau driver due to problems with the proprietary one. I didn't notice as I had 3d acceleration but there were a few features I had issues with that I didn't fix until I tracked down the problem. You can also do an lsmod and verify 'nvidia' is loaded after installing the nvidia driver if you go that route. If you are using gnome, check System - Preferences - Monitors with your HDMI cable plugged in and let us know if you see the other 'monitor' listed and if you can enable it through there (gnome won't always auto enable the monitor - it will make you select the second monitor and click 'On'). And lastly, HDMI cables are dirt cheap if you don't buy them locally. Local retailers use their TVs/PCs/etc as their loss leaders and then shaft everyone on the peripherals. A personal favorite for cables is monoprice.com but there are other similar sites out there.

Re: Linux Laptop HDMI Quandry
Thanx Anthony and Brett for the leads. I installed arandr and it recognizes LVDS1 (laptop screen) and VGA1 with the VGA connector. This is also seen through gnome: System - Preferences - Monitors. It even recognizes the make and size of the 1080p monitor! running xrandr with hdmi plugged in and vga disconnected recognizes only the laptop screen. logs and modules r...@tri:/home/joe# egrep 'WW|EE' /var/log/Xorg.0.log (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. (WW) The directory /usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic does not exist. (II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER (WW) Falling back to old probe method for vesa (WW) Falling back to old probe method for fbdev r...@tri:/home/joe# lsmod|grep nvidia r...@tri:/home/joe# lsmod|grep nouv nouveau 352808 0 ttm39746 1 nouveau drm_kms_helper 20033 2 nouveau,i915 drm 142151 5 nouveau,ttm,i915,drm_kms_helper i2c_algo_bit4225 2 nouveau,i915 i2c_core 15680 6 videodev,nouveau,i915,drm_kms_helper,drm,i2c_algo_bit button 4650 2 nouveau,i915 So I guess I need the driver for the video card?
