| cabose | tablet help? | 02:07 |
| cabose | whoever is interested, please pm me | 02:07 |
| cabose | (need help compiling linuxwacom) | 02:07 |
| cabose | i am working on implementing finer details of the functions of a tablet | 02:08 |
| jldugger | such as? | 02:20 |
| cabose | well | 02:20 |
| cabose | i am trying to install wacomcpl | 02:20 |
| cabose | and the only way i know of right now, is to compile linuxwacom | 02:20 |
| cabose | because i can't find a package | 02:20 |
| cabose | but, when i try to compile, it errs out | 02:21 |
| cabose | and doesn't tell me much | 02:21 |
| cabose | as far as i know, the problem is that it doesn't think i have the kernel source on the machine | 02:21 |
| jldugger | maybe, apt-get build-dep wacom-tools | 02:21 |
| cabose | when i specified the directory | 02:21 |
| cabose | that doesn't install wacomcpl | 02:21 |
| cabose | i tried | 02:21 |
| cabose | well, i got all the basics working | 02:23 |
| cabose | like rotation and functionality of the stylus | 02:23 |
| jldugger | rotating a tabletPC screen? | 02:23 |
| cabose | got it working fine | 02:24 |
| jldugger | what tablet are you using? | 02:24 |
| cabose | got a nice little script | 02:24 |
| cabose | toshiba portege | 02:25 |
| jldugger | ah | 02:25 |
| jldugger | ive got a toshiba tecta | 02:25 |
| jldugger | tecra even | 02:25 |
| cabose | ok, | 02:25 |
| cabose | did you get wacomcpl? | 02:25 |
| cabose | i am thinking | 02:25 |
| cabose | that once i get everything up, | 02:25 |
| jldugger | i dont think so | 02:26 |
| jldugger | lemme turn it on | 02:26 |
| jldugger | i just got back from christmas an hour ago | 02:26 |
| cabose | i want to make packages for everything | 02:26 |
| cabose | and one dummy package to handle it all | 02:26 |
| jldugger | more power to you | 02:26 |
| cabose | that way, for my school | 02:26 |
| jldugger | ubuntu-tablet ;) | 02:26 |
| cabose | that wants to incorporate tablets | 02:26 |
| cabose | i can help students | 02:27 |
| cabose | who want to use linux | 02:27 |
| cabose | by giving them an easy to use solution | 02:27 |
| jldugger | all of them? i hope you cna handle it ;) | 02:27 |
| cabose | ? | 02:27 |
| cabose | all of what? | 02:27 |
| cabose | the students? | 02:27 |
| jldugger | yes | 02:27 |
| cabose | i just figure, mass email | 02:27 |
| cabose | the .deb | 02:27 |
| cabose | and give instructions | 02:27 |
| cabose | all the debs | 02:28 |
| cabose | and a line to put into sources.list | 02:28 |
| jldugger | your school big on linux? | 02:28 |
| cabose | not really | 02:28 |
| cabose | the IT staff is | 02:28 |
| cabose | but, admin and other people | 02:28 |
| cabose | keep the school using microsoft and apple | 02:28 |
| cabose | i want to change that | 02:28 |
| jldugger | a couple of questions: do you have a launchpad account? | 02:29 |
| cabose | no, but i should | 02:29 |
| cabose | i noticed some stuff about the sky2 driver | 02:29 |
| cabose | that a fix was released | 02:29 |
| cabose | but i couldn't get to it | 02:29 |
| jldugger | sky2? | 02:29 |
| cabose | yes | 02:29 |
| cabose | for my normal laptop | 02:29 |
| cabose | i am borrowing a school tablet over break | 02:29 |
| cabose | i have a toshiba satellite | 02:30 |
| cabose | this is just a tablet i am borrowing | 02:30 |
| cabose | i asked the guy who is running this program i am in | 02:30 |
| cabose | about removing windows | 02:30 |
| cabose | and installing linux | 02:30 |
| cabose | he told me, "Please do" | 02:30 |
| cabose | but, about the sky2 | 02:30 |
| cabose | that is the ethernet driver for my laptop | 02:31 |
| cabose | Marvell Yukon sysconnect II | 02:31 |
| cabose | driver thinks it is pci | 02:31 |
| jldugger | when was it changed to "fix committed" | 02:31 |
| jldugger | ? | 02:31 |
| cabose | but it is pcie | 02:31 |
| cabose | not sure | 02:31 |
| cabose | but, a couple of months ago | 02:31 |
| cabose | i found the launchpad entry | 02:31 |
| cabose | and it said, issue resolved | 02:31 |
| cabose | neway | 02:32 |
| cabose | do you know of a package for wacomcpl? | 02:32 |
| cabose | or, how to tell it that my kernel source DOES exist | 02:32 |
| jldugger | it would probably be wacom-tools | 02:32 |
| cabose | for compiling the linuxwacom utilities | 02:32 |
| cabose | see, i installed wacom-tools | 02:33 |
| cabose | and it installed just about everything but wacomcpl | 02:34 |
| cabose | wacomcpl is a graphical configuration utility | 02:34 |
| cabose | for calibrating | 02:34 |
| cabose | and for mapping the stylus | 02:34 |
| cabose | it then automatically enters the data in xorg.conf | 02:34 |
| jldugger | wacom-kernel-source? | 02:34 |
| cabose | wacom kernel source? | 02:35 |
| cabose | what now? | 02:35 |
| === merlin-linux [n=quail@unaffiliated/quaillinux/x-000001] has joined #ubuntu-laptop | ||
| cabose | already installed | 02:35 |
| cabose | a w<tab> reveals only wacdump wait wall watch | 02:36 |
| cabose | wa<tab> i mean | 02:36 |
| cabose | anyway | 02:37 |
| cabose | how much do you know about compiling from source? | 02:37 |
| cabose | because i am having slight problems | 02:37 |
| cabose | linuxwacom can't find my kernel source, even when i specify --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux (i made my own symlink) | 02:38 |
| cabose | i think that is what is keeping it from compiling | 02:38 |
| cabose | would you like to see the output | 02:38 |
| cabose | ? | 02:38 |
| crimsun | do not use /usr/src/linux. | 02:38 |
| crimsun | use /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build | 02:39 |
| cabose | why not? | 02:46 |
| cabose | or, rather, why? | 02:46 |
| cabose | so, you think that might work | 02:47 |
| cabose | ? | 02:47 |
| cabose | i posted the output of configure and make | 02:48 |
| cabose | to pastebin.com | 02:48 |
| cabose | number 846138 | 02:48 |
| crimsun | well you don't have any of the build-dependencies installed. | 02:52 |
| crimsun | linux-headers-$(uname -r), x-dev, libx11-dev, and so on | 02:52 |
| jldugger | which is why i suggested build-dep | 02:53 |
| cabose | ok | 02:54 |
| cabose | so, what is your best suggestion for the overall circumstance? | 02:55 |
| crimsun | ...install the build-dependencies? | 02:55 |
| cabose | what's the syntax for that again? | 02:56 |
| cabose | apt-get install --build-dep wacom-tools | 02:56 |
| cabose | ? | 02:56 |
| cabose | nope | 02:57 |
| cabose | fine | 02:57 |
| crimsun | apt-get build-dep wacom-tools | 02:57 |
| cabose | i'lok | 02:57 |
| cabose | sorry bout that | 02:57 |
| cabose | my fingers are cold | 02:57 |
| crimsun | then install linux-headers-$(uname -r) | 02:57 |
| cabose | i have the headers installed | 02:57 |
| cabose | wait | 02:57 |
| cabose | not on the tablet | 02:57 |
| cabose | i forgot | 02:57 |
| cabose | i installed them on my tablet | 02:58 |
| cabose | laptop* | 02:58 |
| cabose | sorry | 02:58 |
| cabose | NOES!!! | 02:59 |
| cabose | Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open | 02:59 |
| crimsun | (use sudo) | 03:00 |
| cabose | i did | 03:00 |
| crimsun | these are questions not meant for this channel. | 03:00 |
| cabose | what channel do i take them to? | 03:00 |
| crimsun | the general support one. | 03:00 |
| cabose | ubuntu channel didn't give me any help | 03:00 |
| cabose | sorry | 03:01 |
| cabose | i fell into a lapse of retardation | 03:01 |
| cabose | (kidding) | 03:02 |
| cabose | crimsun, tell me | 03:02 |
| cabose | what exactly is this channel for, then? | 03:02 |
| crimsun | development. You're asking support questions. | 03:02 |
| cabose | ok, well | 03:03 |
| cabose | what i am asking kindof crosses the line | 03:03 |
| crimsun | btw, you can always check to see if those of us who are active here will help you in #ubuntu. | 03:03 |
| cabose | ah, ok | 03:03 |
| cabose | i know this is besides the point | 03:04 |
| cabose | but, this channel seemed pretty empty to me | 03:04 |
| cabose | nobody was talking anyway | 03:04 |
| cabose | on a side note, why is that command uname? | 03:05 |
| cabose | i mean, what is the u for? | 03:05 |
| cabose | i know what it does | 03:05 |
| cabose | screw it... | 03:06 |
| cabose | i want to get involved with some development, but i need to learn valuable languages | 03:06 |
| cabose | any tips? | 03:06 |
| cabose | i am thinking to start with C | 03:06 |
| cabose | i have some experience elsewhere | 03:06 |
| cabose | but nothing directly valuable | 03:06 |
| cabose | THANK YOU | 03:07 |
| cabose | THANK YOU ALL! | 03:07 |
| cabose | can anybody please tell me how to use check-install real quick? | 03:08 |
| cabose | so i can make a debian package | 03:08 |
| cabose | was it make check-install | 03:08 |
| cabose | or was it make | 03:08 |
| cabose | then check-install | 03:08 |
| cabose | i got it installed | 03:13 |
| cabose | thank you all | 03:13 |
