[07:47] <sumone> so edubuntu hires an illiterate person to market edubuntu?
[07:48] <Mamarok> thanks folks for joining in :)
[07:49] <sumone> I want to learn how to managable edubuntu
[07:50] <Mamarok> sumone: I already told you to behave, it's not nice to make fun of other people's mistakes
[07:50] <sumone> hi
[07:50] <sumone> why ubuntu hires illiterate persons?
[07:50]  * Hobbsee waves
[07:51] <sumone> wrong chan, I meant to ask in ubuntu
[07:51] <Hobbsee> ubuntu doesn't hire illiterate people, from what i've seen.
[07:52] <ogra> ubuntu doesnt hire *any* people :)
[07:52] <Hobbsee> that too
[07:54] <sumone> wow still there
[07:54] <sumone> Managable
[07:54] <sumone> lol
[07:54] <Mamarok> ogra: hi
[07:54] <ogra> hey
[07:54] <sumone> hey
[07:55] <sumone> mm... who's the illiterate dev ?
[07:55] <Mamarok> sumone: behave!
[07:55] <Mamarok> ogra: read back, I posted the problem at 8:38 here
[07:55] <ogra> sumone, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website/+filebug feel free to file a bug
[07:56] <sumone> wow another error!!
[07:56] <ogra> feel free to file another bug then
[07:56] <sumone> in the same line!!
[07:56] <sumone> Managable - With teachers and school IT departments deploying and administering an increasingly large number of
[07:57] <sumone> no, I am gentoo user
[07:57] <ogra> so gentoo users dont file bugs ?
[07:57]  * Hobbsee starts to wonder if sumone is actually here for anything productive
[07:57] <ogra> thats putting gentoo in a pretty poor light
[08:00]  * ogra wonders if such gentoo users that dont file bugs are to illiterate to handle bugtrackers or why they dont file bugs to improve errors some overworked volunteer made
[08:01] <Hobbsee> ogra: because it's far more fun just to whine about it, apparently?
[08:02] <Mamarok> ogra: just a question: you are working on touchscreen drivers?
[08:03] <ogra> Mamarok, yup, though due to upstream not having done the right thing yet jaunty might stay as intrepisd was, with only some improvements
[08:03] <ogra> *intrepid
[08:03] <Mamarok> I've got calibrating problems with a General Touch
[08:03] <ogra> do you know which driver that would usually use ?
[08:04] <Mamarok> and unfortunately there is no free driver, I have one made from scratch by OpenSuSE
[08:04] <Mamarok> calibrates better on OpenSuSE but not on Kubuntu
[08:04] <ogra> oh, and we dont have it in ubuntu ?
[08:04] <Mamarok> still very imprecise unfortunately
[08:05] <ogra> inprecise > not working at all
[08:05] <Mamarok> well, I didn't find time to try all drivers yet, the ELO ones are no use
[08:05] <Mamarok> right
[08:05] <ogra> evtouch might work but the jaunty version is broken atm
[08:06] <Mamarok> the customer will ask General Touch for a driver, but theyy have New Year in China so it will take another two months before they can react
[08:06] <Mamarok> well, I use Intrepid so far
[08:06] <ogra> the big overall target is to make evdev handle all input devices, at some point, including touchscreens
[08:06] <Mamarok> would be very nice, indeed
[08:06] <Mamarok> it's a basic requirement for our project to work
[08:06] <ogra> right, but evdev isnt there yet sadly ...
[08:07] <Mamarok> yeah, I tried that first and it didn't work
[08:07] <ogra> as a start you could attach the output of lshal to bug 317094
[08:08] <Mamarok> so there's no other choice than wait for the GT people to come back to us in March
[08:08] <ogra> so we have the HW info
[08:08] <Mamarok> thanks, will do ASAP
[08:08] <ogra> thanks
[08:09] <Mamarok> might be Monday only, as I don't have the screen here
[08:09] <Mamarok> but will definitely add it to the bug
[08:09] <ogra> if the device registers as some /dev/input/eventX device it might be possible to solve
[08:09] <Mamarok> well, we can calibrate the upper part of the screen, then it gets fuzzy
[08:10] <ogra> oh, so you already have input events, thats a good sign
[08:10] <Mamarok> yeah, but I'm pretty much stuck now :(
[08:10] <ogra> for the rest of the issue its probably best to file a fresh bug, tell what the dirver is you use and what exactly the device is
[08:11] <ogra> feel free to subscribe me
[08:11] <ogra> *driver
[08:11] <Mamarok> thanks a lot, will do :)
[08:11] <ogra> great, thanks as well :)
[08:12] <Mamarok> :)
[08:15] <Mamarok> ogra: thanks, cu another time !
[17:26] <guntur_roxx> hi all
[17:26] <guntur_roxx> can anyone help me?
[17:26] <guntur_roxx> http://paste.ubuntu.com/112153/
[17:36] <Ahmuck> guntur_roxx: have you completed the install?
[17:37] <Ahmuck> guntur_roxx: are you using the ubuntu alternate cdrom?  if not, that is the cd you need to install from
[17:39] <Ahmuck> guntur_roxx: http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/CDs/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent
[17:41] <Ahmuck> guntur_roxx: what langauge?
[17:42] <guntur_roxx> what do u mean alternate cdrom? what's the difference?
[17:44] <guntur_roxx> i use this
[17:44] <guntur_roxx> ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso
[17:45] <Ahmuck> the alternate is a text based installer.  it's usefull if your having problems installing with the desktop iso
[17:45] <Ahmuck> have you installed ubuntu already and upon reboot, you get a blank screen?
[17:49] <guntur_roxx> i haven't installed ubuntu
[17:49] <guntur_roxx> because it always appear a blank white screen after ubuntu loaded 100%
[17:50] <guntur_roxx> the things i've done.. 1. I boot from the ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386 CD
[17:58] <ogra> doesnt matter with the desktop CD :)
[17:58] <ogra> you can install from the live mode
[17:59] <ogra> (there is an "install to disk" item on the desktop
[17:59] <ogra> )
[18:00] <guntur_roxx> owh okay
[18:00] <guntur_roxx> but somehow.. i've installed linux mint from the wubi, linux mint appears on the boot menu
[18:01] <guntur_roxx> but after i choose it, after the "linux mint" loaded, it comes the blank screen again
[18:01] <guntur_roxx> :(
[19:28] <Ahmuck> guntur_roxx: u still there?
