^No AMD owns ATI, the other major graphics card provider. I am also experiencing this problem on integrated Intel graphics on Xubuntu 14.04 when using HDMI. It's the first distro I have used on this system but I never had the problem on Xubuntu 12.04 on my previous sytem (which was VGA/D-sub).
I do not get 'NULL' in my /var/log/Xorg.0.log but the issue is basically the same problem. I do get null in dmesg however: [code][ 0.152426] ACPI: SSDT (null) 0004C4 (v01 PmRef Cpu0Ist 00003000 INTL 20061109) [ 0.153472] ACPI: SSDT (null) 000433 (v01 PmRef Cpu0Cst 00003001 INTL 20061109) [ 0.160066] ACPI: SSDT (null) 00015F (v01 PmRef ApIst 00003000 INTL 20061109) [ 0.163743] ACPI: SSDT (null) 00008D (v01 PmRef ApCst 00003000 INTL 20061109)[/code] -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1308105 Title: Xfce resets TV mode to NULL when power cycled Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV: Confirmed Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-331” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “xfce4-settings” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I had an HTPC with Mythbuntu 12.04 installed. Upon upgrading a new behavior that if the TV is power cycled it no longer detects a link with the HTPC. When this happens I can find in the xorg log that there is an accompanying log item: [ 39829.509] (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "NULL" After debugging with NVIDIA at https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/729955/linux/tv-stops-being- detected/ we've deteremined it's a X client that reacts to the RANDR events causing the mode to be set to NULL. Working through the list in an Xfce environment, the culprit is xfsettingsd. If xfsettingsd is running, it causes the TV to come up in a NULL mode. If it's killed, it remains in the mode it was previously running in. Until this is fixed, this behavior can be worked around with a simple shell script: ============================== #!/bin/sh #Fix TV state when HDMI link is lost. #By Mario Limonciello <supe...@ubuntu.com> OUTPUT="HDMI-0" BAD_MODE="1280x720" GOOD_MODE="1920x1080" for MODE in $BAD_MODE $GOOD_MODE; do DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --output $OUTPUT --mode $MODE sleep 2 done ============================== To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/1308105/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
