For people on mythbuntu who encounter this with a mceusb remote, here's how i'm working around it:
1) Save this file to /home/user/fix_tv_state.sh and make it executable ============================== #!/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 ============================== 2) Create ~/.lirc/irexec and put these contents: ============================== begin remote = mceusb button = KEY_POWER prog = irexec repeat = 0 config = /home/user/fix_tv_state.sh end ============================== 3) Add to ~/.lircrc this line: include ~/.lirc/irexec 4) Restart machine, lightdm or log out/in Now power button on your mceusb remote will fix the HTPC video output state. ** Also affects: mythbuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1308105 Title: HDMI Handshake fails after TV powered off To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/1308105/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
