| emma | I use Ubuntu intrepid. Ever since Edgy the following link enabled the scroll wheel effect in my Logitech Marble Mouse -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=169423 | 00:51 |
| emma | However, now something has changed, and making that edit does not change the behavior of the mouse. | 00:51 |
| emma | Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? | 00:51 |
| emma | It stopped working in Intrepid. | 00:52 |
| tjaalton | emma: we went through it yesterday.. | 07:23 |
| tseliot | tjaalton, mvo: I'm working to make sure that the nvidia branch of dkms tree is cleaned up by the drivers so that older versions (left there by that bug which I fixed) are removed. What do you think about this preinst file? http://albertomilone.com//ubuntu/newlrm/nvidia-173-kernel-source.preinst | 10:31 |
| tjaalton | tseliot: if it works, looks ok :) | 10:39 |
| tseliot | tjaalton: yes, I tried it with echo "rm, etc." instead of rm | 10:40 |
| tseliot | and it prints the right output | 10:40 |
| tjaalton | ok then | 10:41 |
| tseliot | of course I'll do some real testing here ;) | 10:41 |
| tjaalton | nah, why bother ;) | 10:43 |
| tseliot | oh, wait, a simple "rm -rf /" would be a lot easier | 10:55 |
| tseliot | can you test it for me? :-P | 10:55 |
| tjaalton | heh | 10:57 |
| emma | tjaalton: you said look at xinput, it's sort of opaque and does not seem to translate directly from the xorg.conf lines to anything you put in xinput. | 12:28 |
| emma | maybe i'm wrong, could you tell me how do you put those xorg.conf lines into xinput? | 12:28 |
| tjaalton | you don't put any lines anywhere, you run the command | 12:30 |
| tjaalton | 'xinput list' shows your devices | 12:30 |
| tjaalton | 'xinput list-props $id' shows the properties of the device | 12:31 |
| tjaalton | 'xinput set-int-prop $id $property 32 $value' changes the setting | 12:32 |
| tjaalton | or, you add 'Option AutoAddDevices "false"' to your ServerFlags, and configure the device in xorg.conf like before | 12:33 |
| tjaalton | $id can also be the full name | 12:36 |
| tjaalton | oh what fun it is getting winxp working on thinkpad X61 | 16:53 |
| tjaalton | not | 16:53 |
| tjaalton | even with sp3 had to use a driver disk to get the hd recognized | 16:54 |
| bryce | heya tjaalton | 16:54 |
| tjaalton | and all this because vista sucks | 16:54 |
| tjaalton | even more | 16:54 |
| tjaalton | hey bryce | 16:54 |
| bryce | as long as vista sucks people over to ubuntu that's fine | 16:55 |
| tjaalton | I've been fighting with my hardware.. got a new phone yesterday and have been trying to make a dump of the contents, but gave up hope getting MMS's or bookmarks out of the old one | 16:56 |
| tjaalton | nokia pc suite == crap | 16:56 |
| tjaalton | outsourced crap, a nokia employee added ;) | 16:56 |
| tjaalton | (a friend) | 16:56 |
| bryce | hehe | 16:56 |
| bryce | I've still been banging my head on that keyboard hotkey bug from last week | 16:57 |
| bryce | I made the mistake of looking in acpi-support and got bewildered by all the other hotkeys-don't-work bug reports :-) | 16:57 |
| tjaalton | yeah, it's a dead-end | 16:57 |
| bryce | bug 267682 | 16:58 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 267682 in linux "Hotkeys no longer working in Intrepid on Thinkpads" [Critical,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/267682 | 16:58 |
| bryce | do you have any other ideas on that? I'm going to contact the kernel team next | 16:58 |
| bryce | tjaalton: you'd mentioned that switching from evdev to kbd made the issue go away - did you ever sort out why? | 16:59 |
| tjaalton | no, but I think it's a simple matter of different scan/keycodes | 17:00 |
| tjaalton | some of them don't match | 17:00 |
| tjaalton | I'd need to know more about how this all is glued together | 17:00 |
| tjaalton | but pitti is on leave until next week | 17:00 |
| bryce | actually I think he's at the plumber's conference this week | 17:02 |
| tjaalton | oh right | 17:02 |
| tjaalton | debian has eight revisions on top of our acpi-support.. wonder if those would help | 17:03 |
| tjaalton | ie. sync the version from unstable | 17:03 |
| tjaalton | * Reinstate thinkpad_acpi.modprobe to fix "Many Thinkpad X60 keys stop working" (Closes: #481253) | 17:12 |
| tjaalton | that's from the debian changelog | 17:13 |
| tjaalton | although, since it was reported that they worked on hardy.. | 17:13 |
| bryce | oooh | 17:24 |
| bryce | there's been so many contradictory comments I'm not sure who to believe | 17:25 |
| tjaalton | bbl-> | 17:34 |
| bryce | in any case it seems there are multiple bugs. Perhaps pulling the dell version of that would fix at least some. I'll put that on my todo for today. | 17:34 |
| superm1 | hi guys, could you check that this bug's fix got pulled in for 8.10: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=461666 ? | 18:42 |
| ubottu | bugzilla.redhat.com bug 461666 in xorg-x11-server "Crash in X.org server during a resolution change (monitor hotplug) in VirtualBox" [Medium,Closed: nextrelease] | 18:42 |
| jcristau | "Note that this bug is fixed in the release version of X.org server 1.5.0." | 18:45 |
| torkel | bryce/tjaalton: re #267682, suddenly Fn-F2 (lock screen) works for me, even after a reboot, on my T61 | 19:25 |
| superm1 | jcristau, i wasn't aware whether we were on the release version of xorg server 1.5. i'm packaging the new vbox to upload, and dynamic adjustments weren't working still for me | 19:30 |
| tjaalton | superm1: apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-core ;) | 19:41 |
| tjaalton | torkel: like it does on my X61 | 19:41 |
| superm1 | ah tjaalton, the easy solution, so yeah indeed release version of 1.5.0. thanks | 19:43 |
| jcristau | meh. bad virtualbox | 19:53 |
| jcristau | "- Bump provides of guest-utils to xserver-xorg-video-2.9" | 19:53 |
| superm1 | it's "supposed" to work according to upstream's changelog | 19:55 |
| jcristau | hardcoding the abi version is bad | 19:55 |
| jcristau | seeing how it was bumped to 4 anyway. | 19:55 |
| superm1 | it was hardcoded in the original debian package... | 19:55 |
| jcristau | i don't care whose fault it is :) | 19:56 |
| jcristau | wow. they ship copies of the xserver headers. | 20:09 |
| bryce | jcristau: oh that sounds safe | 20:10 |
| jcristau | the 'here, a sigsegv' sort of safe | 20:11 |
| jcristau | i'll try to chat with the debian maintainer... | 20:19 |
| bryce | tjaalton: could the recent change in hotkey behavior on thinkpads perhaps have something to do with the sep 1st change to hotkey-setup in bug 256887? | 21:25 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 256887 in hotkey-setup "thinkpad_acpi complains that hotkey-setup is doing the wrong thing" [Undecided,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/256887 | 21:25 |
| tjaalton | bryce: doubt it, since it still works without evdev | 21:29 |
