I've spent a good amount of hours researching and making tests, unfortunately I can't make it work and I'm really desperate, so I'd really thank any help.
I hope someone can lend me a hand (mainly on the procedures of patches of alexander and sean, I can't make them work). ---- The script of first solution works (in my case replacing HDMI-0 with HDMI1), I create it in ~/fixhdmi.sh and chmod 755 it. The question here is automating the process, and in this I've not been able to, It only works running script manually from terminal (I've no try to make a shortcut, it's not valid for my needs) :( I even added a wait time before the process (since the TV takes some time in beign ready I thought it could help) and a message after with zenity: [code]#!/bin/sh #Fix TV state when HDMI link is lost. #By Mario Limonciello <email address hidden> sleep 10 OUTPUT="HDMI1" BAD_MODE="1280x720" GOOD_MODE="1920x1080" for MODE in $BAD_MODE $GOOD_MODE; do DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --output $OUTPUT --mode $MODE sleep 2 done zenity --info --title="HDMI" --text="fixhdmi.sh has been executed" [/code] I've found a few entries explaining the procedure of udev, so I've create a the file /etc/udev/rules.d/hdmi.rules with this content [code]KERNEL=="card0", SUBSYSTEM=="drm", ACTION=="change", RUN+="/home/fkervin/fixhdmi.sh[/code] I also tryed: [code]SUBSYSTEM=="drm", ACTION=="change", RUN+="/home/fkervin/fixhdmi.sh[/code] I tried another ones I don't remember... The result without the udev entry is "no signal message", with it I have cursor on screen over black for a seconds but then dissapear and "no signal" message again. It makes me think that the udev could be working on TV disconnect but not on connect (only an idea). Later when I tried the alexander's mod I had the same effect, (cursor and blank screen), I don't how it there is any relation. I've try udevadm in a power-off/power-on of the TV, having this result: [code] fkervin@fkervin:~$ sudo udevadm monitor [sudo] password for fkervin: monitor will print the received events for: UDEV - the event which udev sends out after rule processing KERNEL - the kernel uevent KERNEL[121.525065] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0 (drm) UDEV [135.590008] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0 (drm) KERNEL[142.156140] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0 (drm) UDEV [156.226634] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0 (drm) [/code] I can't figure out how to make udev rule work :( ----- I've try to install Xfce 4.12 packages: [code] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.12 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade [/code] It unfortunately doesn't solve the problem. ------ killing xfsettingsd makes it work, but since it interfere on the icons, text and many elements, it's not appropiate. ------ In the option of installing an older xfce4-settings: by adding the saucy mirrors to you sources.list, and running apt-get update && apt-get install xfce4-settings/saucy or apt-get -t saucy install xfce4-settings I don't know what should I add to sources.list. ------ Alexander and sean's procedures: I've try several times with no results, for example: fkervin@fkervin:~$ sudo apt-get install xfce4-dev-tools libexo-1-dev libgarcon-1-0-dev libxfce4ui-1-dev Result in pastebin: [url]http://pastebin.com/eWsYxqY7[/url] fkervin@fkervin:~$ git clone git://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-settings [code]Cloning into 'xfce4-settings'... remote: Counting objects: 11824, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (5517/5517), done. remote: Total 11824 (delta 9542), reused 7817 (delta 6301) Receiving objects: 100% (11824/11824), 4.66 MiB | 3.55 MiB/s, done.

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/~mythbuntu-bugs Post to : mythbuntu-bugs@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
