Title: TV9 - Initializing display parameters
Post by: JabawokJayUK on February 04, 2014, 06:42:10 PM

Hi,

I have TV9 32bit installed on debian.

Everything works great except for the following problem.

If I boot the machine "headless" (no keyboard or monitor etc) the machine boots fine and TV9 starts ok, but If I try and connect to it, it just sits there displaying the message "Initializing display parameters".

If I connect a monitor to the box and connect again its fine, then the monitor can be removed and all further connections are fine.

Anyone any idea why this is happening and what I might be able to do to fix it?

Thanks

I have same problem on ubuntu 13.10. I set nomodeset kernel option but then I can only have 1024x768 resolution. Looking for good solution too...

I have the EXACT same problem with ubuntu 13.10.

It used to work fine when my monitor was connected to DVI, then I tried connecting to to display port and add a second monitor on DVI. Shut down both monitor: logging in gives only 1024x768 resolution.

Disconnected second monitor, tried again, now I get the same situation you guys have, Initializing display parameters forever.

I'd love to know a fix!

Made ticket for that, but no response from TV devs...

My solution is simply to switch to a DVI cable. If I use a DVI cable instead of display port, I can then turn off the monitor, connect remotely and have no issues with the resolution.

I have the same problem with "Initiating display parameters" when connecting remotely, installed (Via application manager) Teamviewer (9 I think) in Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon and configured for unattended access.
I use dual displays, connected via DVI cables (Radeon R9 280X).

processes running:
ps -ef |grep team
root      1982     1  0 ???16 ?     00:00:47 /opt/teamviewer9/tv_bin/teamviewerd -f
genadi    2276     1  0 ???16 ?     00:01:01 /opt/teamviewer9/tv_bin/wine/bin/wineserver

Any ideas?

R9 280X, are you sure you are using 2 DVI cables? None of them are DP? All my issues were related to DP, switching to DVI solved all (but I'm not using two monitors anymore)

What is DP?

Update: I have found out that, disabling the turning of screen after 10 mins in Power Management, resovled the problem for me!
I am not sure why, but afterwards I was able to connect.

How do we bypass that?

Well you can make a work around, just attach an unused vga cable to the vga port of your computer.

Hope this help...

Hi All,

I had the same problem with CentOS7. Then I connected a monitor and restarted the CentOS. After connecting via TeamViewer, I disconnected the monitor again and now it is possible to connect even there is no monitor.

However, if you restart, same problem appears again,  unfortunately :(.
