[08:54] <ubot3`> Malone bug 417748 in linux "Please enable CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS" [Medium,Triaged] 
[08:55] <AnAnt> will this be fixed in karmic ?
[09:20] <AnAnt> bye
[11:25] <Xtreme_Great> hi everyone. I'm trying to develop a driver for my webcam (which happens to be not supported at the moment).
[11:26] <Xtreme_Great> But while trying to capture the initialization sequence, I don't see the log size coming to a halt in usbsnoop, as was said is supposed to happen in the microdia website. It just keeps increasing. Am I doing something wrong?
[11:27] <Xtreme_Great> Please guide.
[11:55] <AceLan_> Xtreme_Great: maybe your device just not support usbsnoop
[11:55] <AceLan_> Xtreme_Great: can you see the preview screen correctly while usbsnoop is running?
[11:58] <Xtreme_Great> Is that possible?
[11:59] <Xtreme_Great> I mean the sensor and bridge are present in other cameras as well, for which drivers have been written by using usbsnoop...
[12:00] <Xtreme_Great> Sometimes the preview screen doesn't show up anything and the mouse pointer moves very slowly. But at other times, it does show the preview
[12:03] <AceLan_> Xtreme_Great: could you check your windows, is there a .inf file?
[12:03] <AceLan_> Xtreme_Great: sometimes, the initial command is in it
[12:04] <AceLan_> Xtreme_Great: and it you are not success in using usbsnoop, you can try to use another usb snoop tool
[12:06] <AceLan_> Xtreme_Great: FYI. http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Development:_How_to_develop_drivers_for_USB_based_devices
[12:06] <Xtreme_Great> yes, I tried to put the huge matrices of that inf file into the source file. But when testing it, the brightness is very low, and shows up an image only when pointed to the light bulb
[12:08] <Xtreme_Great> btw, I'm editing the vc032x.c file in the gspca folder. My bridge belongs to this class...
[12:11] <Xtreme_Great> Thanks for the link AceLan_, I'll try the other two programs.
[12:12] <AceLan_> Xtreme_Great: what's the usb id of the device?
[12:12] <Xtreme_Great> Actually, that'd be pretty confusing
[12:12] <Xtreme_Great> 15b8:6002
[12:12] <Xtreme_Great> That's the same usbid as the HP 2.0 Megapixel camera, whose driver was released in April this year.
[12:13] <Xtreme_Great> But mine is HP VGA camera.
[12:13] <Xtreme_Great> And the sensor is different from that one.
[12:13] <AceLan_> really?
[12:14] <AceLan_>      V4L/DVB (9870): gspca - vc032x: Webcam 15b8:6002 and sensor po1200 added.
[12:14] <AceLan_> 2008/12/30
[12:15] <Xtreme_Great> Yeah. I waited for the driver to release for about 2 years, and then they just released this one. Both were in the same inf file though...
[12:16] <Xtreme_Great> Oh.. It was december 08 then... My bad. :)
[12:17] <Xtreme_Great> Mine is 7131r
[12:18] <Xtreme_Great> There is an hv7131r in the file. I wonder if both are the same... That one doesn't work with my camera though
[12:19] <AceLan_> hmm
[12:20] <Xtreme_Great> btw, How big is this init sequence in normal situations for usb webcams?
[12:20] <AceLan_> Xtreme_Great: how many pixels does the webcam you have?
[12:20] <AceLan_> Xtreme_Great: it depends
[12:20] <Xtreme_Great> it gives 640x480...
[12:21] <Xtreme_Great> There is this vimicrocam program in the cd, which gives 800x600 with software.
[12:21] <AceLan_> Xtreme_Great: it may contain initial command, contrast, gamma, size, output format, blah..., so it may a little big
[12:21] <Xtreme_Great> Should be a few MBs then right?
[12:21] <Xtreme_Great> I'm new to writing drivers actually...
[12:21] <AceLan_> MBs??
[12:22] <AceLan_> Xtreme_Great: I think you do very well :)
[12:22] <Xtreme_Great> Megs I mean..
[12:22] <Xtreme_Great> :) Thanks..
[12:22] <AceLan_> Xtreme_Great: not so large
[12:23] <Xtreme_Great> I gotta go now...
[12:23] <Xtreme_Great> :)
[12:23] <AceLan_> Xtreme_Great: see you
[12:24] <AceLan_> Xtreme_Great: you can create an issue on launchpad, so that you can get more help
[12:24] <Xtreme_Great> Thanks for the help AceLan_... I tried in #spca50x and #microdia for days, and got no help... I'll need your help... Please be here... :)
[12:24] <Xtreme_Great> Okay I'll do that too... :)
[12:24] <AceLan_> Xtreme_Great: see you :)
[12:24] <Xtreme_Great> see u 2... :)
[12:26] <gnomefreak> the *-8 kernel did not fix the shutdown here
[13:02] <gnomefreak> ok i take back what i said it is fixed with *-8 for jme (shutdown bug)
[13:11] <AnAnt> Hello, are those bugs https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/414795 & https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/+bug/390292 related to the kernel or not ?

[17:36] <ogra> bjf, around ? 
[17:37] <ogra> tlee, bjf cares for the ubuntu integration of the mravell branches 
[17:37] <ogra> *marvell indeed :)
[17:37] <tlee> Thx. Orga
[17:37] <bjf> ogra, hi!
[17:37] <bjf> tlee, hi!
[17:37] <tlee> Hi bjf.
[17:38] <tlee> I like to git clone the dove kernel.  Looking for the URL for the git command.
[17:38] <bjf> tlee, just a sec...
[17:39] <tlee> Thx
[17:39] <rtg> tlee, the Ubuntu Dove kernel? Or the Marvell Dove kernel?
[17:39] <tlee> Like to clone this one: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=marvell/dove-kernel
[17:39] <tlee> Not sure the URL I should use.
[17:40] <tlee> in the git command.
[17:40] <rtg> tlee, git://kernel.ubuntu.com/marvell/dove-kernel
[17:41] <bjf> tlee, it's an odd tree, it only has branches in it, no "master"
[17:41] <rtg> bjf, nothing odd about that. master is just a convention
[17:41] <bjf> tlee, you'll want origin/marvell-dove-2.6.31-rc7
[17:42] <bjf> rtg, it may not be odd, but I think most people expect to find a master
[17:43] <tlee> trying it now.
[17:43] <tlee> I am still kind of new to git command.  Excluse me for the "noob" question...
[17:44] <bjf> tlee, no problem
[17:44] <bjf> tlee, not exactly a git "old timer" myself
[17:45] <tlee> Got this: 
[17:45] <tlee> kernel.ubuntu.com[0: 91.189.94.216]: errno=Connection timed out fatal: unable to connect a socket (Connection timed out)
[17:46] <rtg> tlee, are you behind a firewall?
[17:46] <tlee> since http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=marvell/dove-kernel/.git works.  I  expect the git to work.   
[17:47] <rtg> tlee, corporate firewall?
[17:47] <tlee> Yes.  But git use the http, right? our firewall does not block http.     
[17:47] <tlee> Yes.
[17:47] <mjg59> Ooh. The dove generic mmc stuff looks good. Has that gone upstream?
[17:47] <rtg> tlee, no, git:// is _not_  http.
[17:48] <tlee> Ok.   I can't git clone and can only get the snapshot, right?
[17:48] <rtg> tlee, you can clone using http; I just have to remember the URL format
[17:49] <rtg> mjg59, I don't think so, but I don't follow the arm lists too close.
[17:49] <tlee> No  problem.  Not a big issue.  Thanks.
[17:49] <mjg59> rtg: It doesn't look arm specific - it's modifying the generic MMC core code
[17:49] <bjf> mjg59, no, they have plans to upstream it but have not done so yet
[17:49] <hyperair> is the -8 kernel based on rc8?
[17:49] <hyperair> ls
[17:50] <hyperair> oops
[17:50] <Nafallo> .
[17:50] <Nafallo> ..
[17:50] <mjg59> bjf: Ok. The compatibility fix for Lexar looks pretty worth it
[17:50] <Nafallo> doh. I should have said 'Desktop'
[17:50]  * Nafallo fails
[17:51] <rtg> tlee, try 'git clone http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/marvell/dove-kernel'
[17:51] <rtg> hyperair, -rc7
[17:51]  * hyperair wonders why udev doesn't seem to like his custom compiled kernel
[17:51] <hyperair> rtg: ah. okay, that makes sense.
[17:52] <hyperair> rtg: i was wondering why -8 would boot while rc8 wouldn't
[17:52] <rtg> hyperair, I'm working on -rc8, but there were a couple of inotify regressions
[17:52] <hyperair> i see.
[17:53] <hyperair> did you see anything related to udev?
[17:53] <hyperair> at least, udevadm settle seems to be timing out for some reason
[17:53] <rtg> nope
[17:53] <tlee> rtg: Initialized empty Git repository in /mnt/share/Dove/Linux/ubuntu-kernel-git/test/dove-kernel/.git/ error: inflate: data stream error (incorrect header check)
[17:53] <hyperair> hmm how strange. :(
[17:53] <rtg> hyperair, Keybuk would be the guy to annoy about udev issues
[17:54] <hyperair> Keybuk: ping
[17:54] <hyperair> Keybuk: when booting the rc8 kernel, it appears that udevadm settle times out, then complains about connection refused. would you happen to know anything about it?
[17:55] <Keybuk> no, no idea
[17:55] <Keybuk> file a bug, I'll take a look on Tuesday
