For some reason my fickle bitch linux laptop when it losses full connection with hdmi while the lid is down, basically never restores hdmi when 'plugged back in' unless the lid goes back up. I need that mofo to switch fast so I can jump to my workout playlist for quick jump in workouts.
I debugged the shit out of X, frame buffers, upgraded the whole machine (emerge world), and updated the kernel, no avail (though it did seem to fix some bugs!). Then I noticed the machine was sleeping from dmesg. So went into the kernel and completely just removed it's ability to sleep at all. No fix.
Looked online "does a hdmi pass through exist where it tricks the machine into thinking a live hdmi is always on" and low to avail it was! What a holy shit invention heaven world we live in! Just ordered it, $7, just arrived and avail! This matha fucky is avail! We are working baby! What a world of heaven!
To quickly jump to a workout playlist, consider an old iPod or mp3 player and wireless/aux speaker. This way you won’t need to dick around with a full desktop computer. Last thing you want when working out is to be operating a computer terminal.
I know you like cool Linux systems and rigs but sometimes the wrists are bet slit with Occam’s Razor.
