[02:07] <cabose> nebody?
[02:07] <cabose> tablet help?
[02:07] <cabose> whoever is interested, please pm me
[02:07] <cabose> (need help compiling linuxwacom)
[02:08] <cabose> i am working on implementing finer details of the functions of a tablet
[02:20] <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
[02:21] <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
[02:23] <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?
[02:24] <cabose> got it working fine
[02:24] <jldugger> what tablet are you using?
[02:24] <cabose> got a nice little script
[02:25] <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,
[02:26] <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
[02:27] <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
[02:28] <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
[02:29] <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
[02:30] <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
[02:31] <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
[02:32] <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
[02:33] <cabose> see, i installed wacom-tools
[02:34] <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?
[02:35] <cabose> wacom kernel source?
[02:35] <cabose> what now?
=== merlin-linux [n=quail@unaffiliated/quaillinux/x-000001]  has joined #ubuntu-laptop
[02:35] <cabose> already installed
[02:36] <cabose> a w<tab> reveals only wacdump wait wall watch
[02:36] <cabose> wa<tab> i mean
[02:37] <cabose> anyway
[02:37] <cabose> how much do you know about compiling from source?
[02:37] <cabose> because i am having slight problems
[02:38] <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.
[02:39] <crimsun> use /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build
[02:46] <cabose> why not?
[02:46] <cabose> or, rather, why?
[02:47] <cabose> so, you think that might work
[02:47] <cabose> ?
[02:48] <cabose> i posted the output of configure and make
[02:48] <cabose> to pastebin.com
[02:48] <cabose> number 846138
[02:52] <crimsun> well you don't have any of the build-dependencies installed.
[02:52] <crimsun> linux-headers-$(uname -r), x-dev, libx11-dev, and so on
[02:53] <jldugger> which is why i suggested build-dep
[02:54] <cabose> ok
[02:55] <cabose> so, what is your best suggestion for the overall circumstance?
[02:55] <crimsun> ...install the build-dependencies?
[02:56] <cabose> what's the syntax for that again?
[02:56] <cabose> apt-get install --build-dep wacom-tools
[02:56] <cabose> ?
[02:57] <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
[02:58] <cabose> i installed them on my tablet
[02:58] <cabose> laptop*
[02:58] <cabose> sorry
[02:59] <cabose> NOES!!!
[02:59] <cabose> Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open
[03:00] <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
[03:01] <cabose> sorry
[03:01] <cabose> i fell into a lapse of retardation
[03:02] <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.
[03:03] <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
[03:04] <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
[03:05] <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
[03:06] <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
[03:07] <cabose> THANK YOU
[03:07] <cabose> THANK YOU ALL!
[03:08] <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
[03:13] <cabose> i got it installed
[03:13] <cabose> thank you all
