Linux installing on GPU-equipped PC

Following steps could be a general troubleshooting for installing Linux on GPU-equipped PC.

The problem I faced when booting Linux install/live media (DVD or USB) is that:

• Monitor is blacked out after (automatically) selecting boot option
• Boot process is stuck with some video output message

This is obviously video output setting problem, although I noticed this after googled several times and keywords :) In order to proceed the booting process, it is needed to change (UEFI) BIOS boot option by:

• Enable on-board graphic (i.e. Enable multi-monitor)
• Set on-board graphic as primal

Importantly, monitor should be connected with on-board graphic output only, at least for first setup.

My New PC (with GeForce GTX 1080) is arrived!

I was excited when I heard that the next generation GPU (Pascal), GeForce GTX 1080, will be released from NVIDIA in this summer. I and ex-colleague are interested in Deep Learning. So I decided to buy BTO PC which contains the GPU in no time since we or I hope to have some personal high-performance environment.

To be honest, I want to play minecraft with some beautiful shader MOD pack :)

AVT-C875, a video capture device from AVerMedia

I bought new gadget AVT-C875 for capturing video output (HDMI) from a PC or other devices such as WiiU.

For testing the device and recording software, I firstly recorded Mincraft playing on PC with an encoding software OBS(Open Broadcaster Software) Studio,a free, open source software via AVerMedia RECentral Stream Engine. But it fails following two points.

1. Minecraft doesn't for external display
2. Recorded video has some quality problem such as blur

I solved both problems by changing some condition including PC setting. Cause of the problem (1) seems Minecraft problem. If I set resolution of the PC to the same of HDMI output like 1920x1080 in Graphic property setting (See image below), it works fine!

On the problem (2), the cause was broadcasting software or AVerMedia Stream Engine. If I switched recording software to AVerMedia RECental, it works well!

Then, I tested recording from game device. I uploaded the recording test videos on Youtube.

Markdown

Markdown, a lightweight markup language, is a skill what I'd like to be familiar with.

But I have not so much experience of writing Markdown syntax rather than that of DokuWiki syntax. One of the reason why I began to post this Hatena Blog is to learn Markdown syntax.

However I'm thinking that I want to make a bit modified Markdown syntax which includes several (general) wiki syntax.

Hello everyone.

printf("Hello world!");

This is the blog to share what I'm working on. Recently, I bought VOICEROID+ (ver. 東北ずん子EX) which synthesize voice from text. Then, I created a tutorial of Unity 5 programming with ずん子 voice as below. (Sorry, it's in Japanese.)

I will continue to create such kind of video.

Thank you.
