Surprisingly, it works fine, even with vdpau mplayer playing 1080p and compiz running [02:22] ubuntu: dont mount stuff in /media directly, create a sub folder first (sudo mkdir /media/usbdisk) you can only mount to empty directorys (/media usually contains things like cdrom [02:22] tell me a quick folder i can mount it to [02:22] plz [02:23] anything i dont wanna create a new folder just wanna get this madness over with :P [02:23] webbb82: see if anything spikes when it starts to lagg... not sure what else i can suggest sorry :( [02:24] i know its plasma that lags the only thing laggy is my plasmoids [02:24] ubuntu: just type sudo mkdir /media/usb && sudo mount -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 /dev/sdb1 /media/usb [02:24] thats why xrender works a little better [02:25] webbb82: you could try reducing the number of activites and virtual desktops you have... not sure that will do much though [02:25] james147 thanx for the help [02:25] but theres still nothing in media/usb [02:26] theres no usb folder in media even [02:26] ubuntu: what dose output, if anything at all - sudo mkdir /media/usb? [02:27] nothing outputs [02:27] doesnt say anything [02:27] ubuntu: and ls /media? [02:29] nothing.. [02:29] ubuntu: and ls -a /media? [02:29] natta [02:30] how about we mount it somewhere that doesnt have to do with this problematic /media folder [02:30] given this is a livecd maybe and oldversion prolly has a lot of bugs fixed in newer editions [02:30] ubuntu: sudo mkdir /mount [02:31] umm i did mkdir /mount [02:31] but i cant see the folder anywhere [02:31] ?? [02:32] well shudnt it appear in / ? [02:32] ubuntu: yeah [02:32] cant i mount it in one of the other folders?

[11:47] homer-80: can you show me the guide or give me a quick overview [11:47] here there is a error http://paste.ubuntu.com:80/271991/ [11:48] the guide is in italian... here there is a guide http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/Hardware/Webcam/Syntec [11:49] ok - the problem is that the compile doesn't work [11:49] so doing "make install" isn't a good idea as the module has not built [11:49] so how can I procede?
