Yeah, sigh. Nothing surprising maybe, but you always hope you can avoid these problems &#8211; in particular in the last moment with a huge audience waiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was this separate video monitor laptop that clearly showed that my laptop would output the correct thing &#8211; in a proper resolution (1280 x 720 as per auto-negotiation), but the projector refused to play ball. The live stream could also see my output, so the problem was somehow from the video box to the projector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several people eventually got involved, things were rebooted multiple times, cables were yanked and replugged in again. First after I installed <a href=\"https:\/\/christian.amsuess.com\/tools\/arandr\/\">arandr<\/a> and forced-updated the resolution of my HDMI output to 1920&#215;1080  the projector would suddenly show my presentation. (Later on I was told that people had <em>the same<\/em> problem in this room the day before&#8230;)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That was about nine minutes of technical difficulties that is cut out from the recording. Nine minutes to test my nerves and presentation finesse as I had to adapt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the video recording of my talk with this title, done at February 4, 2024 10:00 in the K1.105 room at FOSDEM 2024.
