I have no experience with HDMI so i will be no help. The only suggestion i can offer is to ask if you have set HDMI as the preffered playback method ?
You may want to post your video card model to see if others can help you.
I tried to use earlier kernel. No help. I did some 13.10 kubuntu updates earlier today which reflected initramfs (what ever that really is?)
The Initial ram filing system (initramfs) is a compressed file that contains a bunch of kernel modules and scripts required to mount your root partition and start the 'init' process (amongst other things).
What does this mean, dmesg
[ 10.124116] EXT4-fs (sda5): re-mounted. Opts: errors=remount-ro
[ 10.801965] EXT4-fs (sda1): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)
[ 11.512209] EXT4-fs (sda6): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)
These are the message about your filing systems being mounted.
The top one (sda5) is your root partition.
It gets mounted read-only at the start so fsck can be run if required. It then gets re-mounted read-write. If any errors are encountered then sda5 will be re-mounted read-only again to stop any more filing system damage.
The other two (sda1, sda6) are supplementary filing systems that it is mounting.
I added some new space to my linux system today, created new partion which I seem not to have write access at all. What's the easiest way to give access?
Change the mount point so that you are the owner. Give that a try after it's mounted.
Code:
sudo chown $USER:$USER <mount_point>
Anyway deri, I'm getting rather worried that this thread may be drifting off topic so please start new threads for your questions.
We don't want to hijack this thread.
Kind regards
