| 07:31 | RickHull | Hi, I'm having trouble setting the proper desktop resolution in LXDE / LXRandR |
| 07:32 | RickHull | it is only giving me the option of 1280x720 |
| 07:32 | RickHull | i am looking to run 1920x1080@60, which is supported by /sys/class/graphics/fb0/modes |
| 07:34 | RickHull | xrandr on command line only shows the 1280 res |
| 07:36 | RickHull | ok, this looks helpful: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/xrandr#Troubleshooting |
| 07:36 | TrojanHorse | RickHull, I dont think xrandr is supported with fbdev or vivante driver |
| 07:36 | TrojanHorse | which probably means oyu need to set the resolution before starting X |
| 07:37 | TrojanHorse | (but I'm not sure) |
| 07:37 | RickHull | i am just running arch via ignition, this is the OOTB experience AFAIK |
| 07:37 | TrojanHorse | whatever OOTB is |
| 07:37 | RickHull | out of the box |
| 07:37 | TrojanHorse | well, I am not an arch user, I am your average nerd who will claim the text mode is just fine |
| 07:37 | RickHull | i.e. i think ignition(arch) is set up to use LXDE and LXRandR |
| 07:39 | RickHull | for a web browser? ;) |
| 07:40 | TrojanHorse | links |
| 07:40 | TrojanHorse | I prefer links |
| 07:40 | RickHull | not so useful for getting past the hotel wifi auth page, unfortunately |
| 07:40 | TrojanHorse | xD |
| 07:41 | TrojanHors | 07:41 * TrojanHorse really knows how that feels |
| 07:41 | TrojanHorse | thats why you use ethernet cable |
| 07:41 | TrojanHorse | anyway, I dont think I can help you much with your issue |
| 07:41 | RickHull | sure, i'll just plug it into the bathroom faucet |
| 07:42 | TrojanHorse | I was more thinking about plugging it right behind the reception desk, and then walking backto my room |
| 07:42 | RickHull | brb, buying 100m cable |
| 07:42 | TrojanHorse | yep |
| 07:42 | TrojanHorse | just saw one on sale on ebay |
| 07:42 | TrojanHorse | pretty cheap |
| 07:43 | RickHull | i appreciate the moral support, but I'm afraid that I am in fact determined to use X on this machine |
| 07:45 | TrojanHorse | you can try that arch wiki page |
| 07:45 | TrojanHorse | and also check /boot/uEnv.txt |
| 07:45 | TrojanHorse | if it lists any video mode |
| 08:24 | RickHull | TrojanHorse: yeah, I have 1280 specified in uEnv.txt |
| 08:24 | TrojanHorse | yay |
| 08:24 | TrojanHorse | a hit |
| 08:24 | RickHull | from earlier troubleshooting on a different monitor |
| 08:24 | RickHull | like a few months ago |
| 08:25 | TrojanHorse | so there is what I meant by xrandr not supported |
| 08:25 | RickHull | video=mxcfb0:dev=hdmi,1280x720M@60,if=RGB24,bpp=16 dmfc=3 |
| 08:25 | TrojanHorse | the fbdev driver just uses the already set up framebuffer |
| 08:25 | TrojanHorse | which is already set up for a specific resolution |
| 08:25 | RickHull | so should I change this to 1920/etc ? |
| 08:25 | TrojanHorse | it should be safe to jsut replace the 1280x720 with 1920x1080 |
| 08:26 | TrojanHorse | make sure your editor does not turn it into a multiline statement |
| 08:26 | RickHull | is it read on boot, or do i need to activate it or something? |
| 08:26 | TrojanHorse | it should remain 1 line |
| 08:26 | TrojanHorse | yep |
| 08:26 | TrojanHorse | the bootloader reads it before loading the kernel |
| 08:28 | RickHull | rebooting, thx |
| 08:33 | RickHull_ | it "worked" :) |
| 08:33 | RickHull_ | but it's actually a 720p TV :/ |
| 08:33 | RickHull_ | 1366x768 |
| 08:38 | RickHull | TrojanHorse: all set, thanks for the help |
| 08:42 | TrojanHorse | great, you're welcome |
| 09:43 | RickHull | anyone know about setting timezone on arch "the old fashioned way"? |
| 09:43 | RickHull | timedatectl on arm dumps core |
| 09:44 | RickHull | hey pepedog, what's the old fashioned way to set timezone (on arch)? |
| 09:44 | RickHull | per http://www.solid-run.com/community/topic2143.html |
| 15:57 | schribl | Does anybody know a good esata enclosure with multiple bays (4-5) that will work with a CuBox-i4pro? |
| 17:08 | mhoney | better off buying a 4 bay synology |
