Broadcast RGB property and Intel video driver
by Tom Horsley 23 Jun '13

23 Jun '13

For the longest time, I've had this suspicion that some update to the Intel graphics driver has made it screw up the range of colors that can be displayed. I just found this command: xrandr --output HDMI2 --set "Broadcast RGB" Full And the result is magical, the thin mist that had been obscuring my screen was blown away, and everything is crystal clear again. But, it makes the screen flicker badly, and the Samsung TV I'm using is slightly out of sync till I power cycle it (or switch modes and switch back). Anyone know if there is some way to set this permanently as the default mode for the display rather than having to run xrandr to change it at runtime? (Apparently the default "Automatic" setting for this property guesses wrong).

OT: Hard drive warning at boot time
by Paul Smith 23 Jun '13

Dear All, Today, I am getting this message at boot time: "Notice - HD self monitoring system has reported that a parameter has exceeded its normal operating range. Dell recommends that you back up your data regularly. A parameter out of range may or may not indicate a potential Hard. Press F1 to continue , F2 to enter setup" Is there any reason to be worried about? My computer is about 3 years old. Thanks in advance, Paul

biosdevname strikes again :-).
by Tom Horsley 23 Jun '13

23 Jun '13

Aside from the 3 or 4 updates to biosdevname that changed the "immutable" names, I've just found another fail: I replaced my motherboard and since this one has native gigabit, I didn't re-install the separate NIC. Naturally, my one and only ethernet interface is now called em1 instead of p6p1. This really worked infinitely better before they solved this problem. All I had to do was remove the 70-persistent-net udev file and let it get automatically regenerated from scratch.

pulseaudio multiple outputs?
by Tom Horsley 23 Jun '13

23 Jun '13

My new motherboard seems to have a audio system that is friendlier to alsa and pulseaudio. For the first time ever I see both HDMI and S/PDIF listed as possible outputs when I run "gnome-control-center sound". They even both work when I test the speakers. Since I no longer seem to need low-level kludgery to get S/PDIF output, I'm now wondering if it is possible for different apps to output to different outputs using pulseaudio? Can I have my normal system beeps and wot-not going to HDMI, but tell mplayer to output to the S/PDIF output? If so, anyone have any examples of the syntax I need to use on the mplayer command line?

Working twitter client
by Steve Searle 22 Jun '13

22 Jun '13

My preferred twitter client choqok doesn't work at the moment because it has not been updated to support the new authentication method that twitter now insists upon. I have tried the others listed by a "yum search twitter" command and can't get any of them to authenticate either. Is anyone currently using a working twitter client? I don't like the browser page - I want my feed updating automatically.

Dear All, How can I see the total disk size of my hard disk?
