Install Linux

Could you also type the following and paste the output. I think it's probably safer if I edit files and just get you to copy/paste them:

cat /etc/default/grub

We'll do a little more tomorrow. It's late here for me again...

Got it. So the rear panel of your Denon looks like this:
http://manuals.denon.com/AVRS500BT/NA/EN/WBSPSYjsdhemcn.php

Right, so your connections will be:

Computer to Denon AVR, HDMI 5 GAME
Denon AVR, HDMI OUT to TV HDMI-1 (because HDMI-2 is broken and so we'll pretend it doesn't exist)

Your Roku should probably connect to the Denon's HDMI-4 (blu-ray)

All cables need to be HDMI2-compliant, which you confirmed in an earlier post.

You nailed it, that's her.

Would you like me to change my inputs to match your suggestions, I just plug them in and learn what's where to access by pushing buttons.":O}

That would probably give you best performance. Let me know how you get on.

Yes back using the 340 drivers.

I gave my RoKu and computer the 60hz connects. I gave my PS4 Slim (Not 3820, but 1080 for the slim) the 30Hz and my PS3 a 30Hz.connect.

On to business!

OK, we'll do it this way, first.

1) Download the attached file and save to your computer - I'm going to assume it downloads to /home/Daniel/Downloads, but I trust you'll be able to find it once it downloads.

2) Do this:

sudo su
cp /etc/default/grub /etc/default/grub.backup
cp /home/daniel/Downloads/grub.txt /etc/default/grub
cat /etc/default/grub
<paste the output>
ls -al /etc/default/grub*
<paste the output>

Note, we still haven't made any irreversible changes to your system at this point. That comes next.

Daniel~ · Jul 22, 2019

nothing in downloads yet. So your just sharing our plan":O}

Not to worry about screwing the pooch! I can restore like a champ!!

Ok the dummy just caught on! I have it downloaded in downloads. Mint wants to open it with text editor will this get us what we want?

Just peachy

Now, we can update grub. I'll assume you've closed the terminal already, but even if you repeat the commands, nothing bad will happen:

sudo su
mount /boot
update-grub

Once you've done that, go ahead and install the most recent 430-series driver you have available, then reboot.

Rebooting..Ah...that's AFTER I install 430...Sorry if I scared you there! ":O}

Kaitain · Jul 22, 2019

OK, once rebooted, run

xrandr

and paste the output

Daniel~ · Jul 22, 2019

If things are going to be a bit dicey...I can do a fast back up now to prevent have to start over? Your choice.":O}

No need. OK, leave this with me for an hour, I've gotta check something

Actually, while I think of it, could you connect an hdmi cable directly between the computer and TV (hdmi-1), then post the output of

xrandr --verbose

?

YE GODS!
I lost all sound! But this is only a temporary thing...Right Kaitian, just a temporary thing Right?

I'm off to switch plugs

Kaitain · Jul 22, 2019

You'll need to be more specific wrt sounds - did that happen since changing driver, or before, or after?
