Ubuntu 14.04 i386, with compiled libavg, full screen xibo client is shifted on a half of the screen

You need to do the rotation in the Xibo config file, not with your graphics
card driver.

Pleaase tell me how

Look in defaults.cfg.

All the options are documented there

Alex, thanks a lot for your support.
Your answer on the question https://answers.launchpad.net/xibo/+question/152054 gave me all details, I need.

But is it correct, when at vertical orientation, when the screen width is 1080, the program still believe it is 1920?

And in not full screen mode it works well.

In Ubuntu 12.04, it works correctly too - the screen in vertical mode, the width=1080 in the configuration file.

Thx, Vlad.

Width and height need to be set up to your actual screen resolution. So you
should have turned rotation off on your graphics card now, so the width is
indeed 1920

You then configure your virtual screen with a width of 1080

Alex,

Thanks a lot for your explanation. As I wrote before, I made exactly what you mentioned and the system works.

I will check the code in order to understand better the logic.

Thank you again, your answer helped me a lot.
B.r. Vlad.

It's pretty straight forward

width and height are the real physical screen - so 1920x1080 respectively

vwidth and vheight are the virtual screen you're defining - so 1080x1920
respectively

And the rotation describes the relationship between those two screens

Alex, my problem is as follows:
1) I turn my screen left 90grad as I use vertical system.
2) I can see normal desktop and use it if any needs.
3) But If I run xibo, I need to turn the screen in normal orientation first.
4) So, my problem is as follows: it would be convenient if I don't need to turn the screen if it was turned already on system level. If I changed screen orientation I would prefer that xibo won't do this job again.

From this type of setup, physical screen is as follows: width=1080 and height=1920.

If such thing can be implemented, it would be great. Otherwise it looks like you implemented the software fixing that orientation of the system is always normal... but I have so many vertical devices, like this one: http://www.liatoss.com/products-en/i-kiosks/models/indoor/ktc-42p31-detail.html

Anyway, thank you for your help.

B.r. Vlad.

It's not possible I'm afraid.

There's some kind of bug low down when screen rotation is enabled which
causes the content to be shown half off the screen.

You could try configuring the client to run with no window boarder at the
correct size, but with fullscreen disabled. That may do what you want
instead.

Now it is clear. As I wrote I have got system working in window. Now, I have a work around for the full screen.

And you are right about the bug I saw it...

Thank you again, Alex.

Hi vvlads !

Can you put down here or by a link the method you used to compile libavg for 14.04 plz ?

Hi!

Please do an update on this?

Did a compilition on libavg, following this instructions:
https://www.libavg.de/site/projects/libavg/wiki/UbuntuSourceInstall#Compilation-and-Installation

But the "Xibo Python Client Installation Script v1.6" following the automation installation didnt work well since it asking for ubuntu version.

Any better guide how to install Xibo manually???

Try the client installation guide in the manual?

Note only Ubuntu 12.04 is supported. It will not compile on newer versions

Hi Gustav,

I have compiled a small how to guide for compiling libbrowsernode.so & libavg which are required to run Xibo Python Client 1.6 on 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04. Hope it helps:
