gnacoxymoron: so the issue is, I can give 777 access to a directory, or 770 or whatever, but if I create a new subfolder in that directory (or copy from a camera etc) it reverts to the default, namely 0755.18:20
gnacCan I set the default to always be 0775 for newly created folder in a directory?18:20
oxymorongnac: Sorry, I have no idea, anyone else maybe?18:21
apparleoxymoron: so that's what I am saying, linux treats it as a camcorder used for video recording. IM clients look for a webcam18:21
oxymoronapparle: And no it doesnt work in any *buntu.18:21
oxymoronapparle: No, IM Clients looks for video devices in v4l protocol18:21
oxymoronMost of them ...18:22
gnacI thought you could do it with a sticky suid bit or some such, but the exact meachanism escapes me.18:22
oxymorongnac: I dont understand why it would revert into 0755 if you create a subfolder in it? :S18:22
oxymoronapparle: So the problem isnt IM-clients or Linux core as I said, the problem is distro specific.18:22
apparleoxymoron: have you given try to anyother distro?18:23
apparleoxymoron: if that is the case, I myself would confirm that it works on a different distro and then try to fix it on the one I like18:23
oxymoronAll you have todo is mapping new video devices detected into v4l and both Skype and Kopete should be able to use it.18:23
gnacoxymoron: the parent doesn't reveert, only the children.  Heres a use case:18:23
oxymoronapparle: I dont think any distro would be able todo it. Kubuntu is the one with most IM-clients.18:24
apparleoxymoron: I mean any distro is capable of doing mapping to v4l18:24
oxymorongnac: That is because default is 0755 when doing mkdir. You need to use 0777 when creating subolders.18:24
oxymoronapparle: But they dont?18:24
gnacI create an nfs directory to share images on the local network.  I give all system users rw access. u+rw to that directory.  I then create a new subdirectory to for a new set of images ...18:25
apparleoxymoron: anyways I came across this GUI which is capable to mapping . Have you seen it http://damien.douxchamps.net/ieee1394/coriander/18:25
oxymoronapparle: Not everyone, and then most USB webcams doesnt work at all. This have been a issue for a LONG time now, I dont understand why nobody figured it out yet.18:25
gnacoxymoron: other than manually setting the permission after each new folder addition, how would I use 777?  Again, I seem to recall a way to sticky bit the folders and any new subfolders.18:26
oxymoronapparle: I think I tried Coriander before.18:26
oxymoronapparle: if theres no NEW firmware or something I have tried most of them out there.18:26
oxymoronNEW = 201018:26
apparleoxymoron: firmware=? you mean the software inside the cam18:27
oxymorongnac: Whats your end purpose with this?18:27
oxymoronapparle: Sorry meant protocols and drivers.18:27
oxymoronapparle: I tried this before http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/VideoFourLinuxLoopbackDevice - But I wasnt able to fix vloopback to work with v4l18:28
=== jonny is now known as Guest31019
=== Guest31019 is now known as jonny2
apparleoxymoron: that's surely not firmware :P. Anyways I suggest you start afresh again, I had similar problem with my sound, when I tried again after an year I was successful18:29
apparleoxymoron: were u able to see the video in coriander ?18:30
oxymoronapparle: Yeah I try it out again, hopefully 10.04 use better Linux core and upgrades here and there ... I was having SERIOUS issues with ALSA, Xine and PulseAudio before as well ...18:31
oxymoronapparle: I am able to see it in Kino as for sure, but not remember Coriander.18:31
oxymoronThen Coriander is from like 2007 ....18:31
apparleoxymoron: I think you will be able to18:31
apparleoxymoron: also, my own experience, don't sit and wait for things to get fixed. Find a the problem and try fixinig it on you own. Most of the times it is only 1 line addition to source code :)18:32
apparleoxymoron: fixed my audio and video drivers that way18:32
oxymoronapparle: I dont like all Gnome apps on Kubuntu, it installs a lot of crappy packages :P Mostly I try out to fix it, but I usually not manipulate source code to fix it.18:34
apparleoxymoron: that is the last stage, it is usually soft linking and some environment variables and some edited conf files :)18:35
apparleoxymoron: i also have gnome apps, but I usually start a seperate partition for fixing things (and install crap in it)18:36
apparleoxymoron: that was *hate*18:36
oxymoronapparle: Most times I do it, I break other things in the system ... which means incompability with other apps if I change settings and confs too much.18:36
apparleoxymoron: that's why use a seperate partition, find the solution and bring it to your stable system18:37
apparleoxymoron: wubi installtions are best for this purpose18:37
oxymoronapparle: Btw, do you know if theres any application that can send image automaticly to imagebin or imageshare when pressing printscreen button on keyboard? :)18:37
apparlenope, I rarely do it18:38
oxymoronapparle: Well one option is to use a VM-environment but then you got other problems and VM doesnt work same way as a regular.18:38
Torchoxymoron: you know the plasmoid for pastebin?18:38
oxymoronapparle: Well like pastebinit for Konsole :)18:38
apparleoxymoron: wubi is best if you already have windows18:39
oxymoronTorch: Yeah? :) I tried it, but its complex using it. I want to choose in a list when pressing the printscreen button what I want todo with the screenshot. WOuld be nice editting it first as well, like cropping and scaling :P18:39
oxymoronapparle: I dont use Windows anymore, seriously I couldnt stand it. Now I use Linux/Kubuntu fulltime.18:39
Torchoxymoron: printscreen shows you ksnapshot. use it. drag the result to the plasmoid. doesn't get much better than that imho.18:40
apparleoxymoron: you could use the concept of wubi though18:40
apparleoxymoron: i mean if you get the list of things wubi does.18:41
oxymoronTorch: I always use Ksnapshot and then drag it into plasmoid require me to switch to desktop, right? Thats to many steps and doesnt make it comfortable. It goes faster do printscreen, save, upload to imagebin and send the link.18:41
oxymoronapparle: What you mean? :)18:41
oxymoronapparle: http://imagebin.ca/view/ovW26m.html18:41
slow-motionhi18:42
gnacoxymoron: I simply want to be able to allow users to copy image folders on to a shared drive, and not have to dork with permissions to let other people add to or modify the contents of those new folders.18:42
oxymoronTorch: Its not that I cant do it, but make things go faster and smooth when need to pastebin images and text to show people is always wanted :)18:43
apparleoxymoron: basically in wubi the main fs is in a .disk file, the /boot is in a normal folder on an existing partitoin and you just need to make proper grub entries18:43
oxymorongnac: I dont understand the purpose for that one, why should people be able to modify others content?18:43
oxymoronapparle: How does Wubi helps me in Linux environment? :S18:44
apparleoxymoron: you don't need to make a new partition.18:45
gnacoxymoron: if you are working in a collaborative environment, thats what you do.18:45
oxymoronapparle:  Sounds the same as using Virtualbox.18:46
Torchgnac: i don't know of a way to solve your proboem with sticky bit magic, but you could run some script triggered i/d/xyz-notify that just sets the permissions you want.18:46
gnaceg joe and I need to work on a set of images.  Joe creates a new folder on the shared drive.  He copies some of his images in there and starts working on dsc001.jog.  Jill starts working on dsc002.jpg.  Jill want to save it as dsc002-tmp.jpg.  Jill can't.18:47
apparleoxymoron: i never tried virtualbox, but here only the main filesystem is virtual. everything else is very real18:47
oxymoronapparle: Mostly I prefer just to have one real desktop environment and maybe a backup partition to boot into. But then I always have Hirens Boot CD and *buntu LiveCD18:48
=== mgagne is now known as wftl
apparleI am telling you that option for fixing and messing stuff, when that if finished just delete the file18:49
James147gnac: you could do it via a samba share...18:50
oxymoronapparle: Would be nice getting advice how to fix it as well, not just how to prepare a environment to fix the REAL problem :P Most things works in Kubuntu now, its so tiny things left to make it like perfect.18:52
apparleoxymoron: :)18:52
apparleoxymoron: If I had any experience with cams then I could have helped18:53
oxymoronapparle: The release cycle doesnt do any big changes after each release. Not that it should because of the fast development and 2 releases per year :P It took forever to make the system boot faster.18:53
apparleoxymoron: anyways.... lets start with coriander if nothing else. you running lucid right?18:54
oxymoronapparle: If I wasnt hating C++ and Python I would MAYBE code my own drivers and protocols. But then its REALly not my thing, I seriously hate system programming it make me go nuts.18:54
apparleoxymoron: :D I like programming, but don't have enough time18:54
oxymoronapparle: This happened when i tried to run Corinader: http://imagebin.ca/view/ovW26m.html - And yes my cam is detected and turned on.18:54
oxymoronapparle: And yes Lucid.18:55
oxymoronapparle: Soon Maverick MAYBE if it entices me enough :P18:55
gnacJames147: had thought about that.  seems kind of basswards to use samba on a linux only network.18:55
apparleoxymoron: is your camera supporting the required specs18:56
oxymoronapparle: I like programming when I can do it independent and combine it with design and huge challenges.18:56
oxymoronapparle: I mean system programming isnt independent, it depends on other hardware and other protocols depending on what you do.18:56
oxymoronapparle: It supports AV/C controlling and all thar standard things, its webcam compliant ;)18:57
apparleoxymoron: check why is camcorder not seeing it19:00
oxymoronapparle: How?19:00
apparleoxymoron: awwww... you are already running it off konsole, and still not getting any errors :(19:01
oxymoronapparle: Yeah ... too bad :P My usual unluckyness :P19:02
oxymoronIt feels like I have detected like almost every single problem you can reach on a computer. One time I was afraid I couldnt to ANYTHING on my computer, was locked out from BIOS and everything I think.19:02
oxymoronCMOS sprinter reset theres always, but I dont prefer that method ...19:03
apparleoxymoron: you haven't tried running my computer (which *sometimes* runs)19:04
ToxinPoweI don't see KDE panel on my desktop, how can I start it?19:05
oxymoronapparle: I havefigure out that most things thats good to use a smooth desktop expiernce is to have nice CPU, monitor and hdd.19:05
oxymoronSSD OS disk, at least Core 2 CPU and nice monitor that works well with graphic card and support good refresh rates and resolutions in Linux :)19:06
James147ToxinPowe: Right click the desktop > Add panel19:06
apparleoxymoron: you forgot the main problem causing thing is MoBo19:06
ToxinPoweok, thx19:06
oxymoronapparle: I have never get any problem because of my MB :P Mostly its only one component at the time that doesnt work well.19:06
oxymoronModular power supply is nice as well :P19:07
apparleoxymoron: my motherboard s***s and due to that nothing works right :(19:07
oxymoronapparle: Buy a new one then?19:07

x_linkHi!19:52
x_linkIs there any player that supports .img-files? Or do I really have to burn it on a CD first?19:53

christaHello. I just installed kubuntu 10.04. everythings fine, except the fonts look somehow "ugly". i have turned on antialiasing in the control center- what else could be the cause?20:29
appleseedchrista, maybe you need to restart to see the effects?20:30
christaappleseed: i just rebooted20:31
christaappleseed: might it be, because i'm *not* using the proprietary nvidia-driver for the gpu?20:31
christa(i had some troubles with it - freezing the system when screensaver came up)20:31
christawell, maybe thats better now with 10.0420:31
appleseedchrista: I've sort of noticed a font change when I updated to the 2.6.32-22 kernel, but maybe it was just my head playing with me. When I first installed 10.04 beta the fonts also looked a bit off to me, it could be the nvidia driver though20:34
christaappleseed: it is somewhat strange - i can't tell you what *exactly* looks "bad" - its just compared to gnome it is somewhat.. uhm.. hard to tell.. worse :P20:35
christawell, i'll try with the nvidia-thing20:35
christaand play around a little bit with the settings20:35
christathanks anyway for your help20:35
appleseedalas I think I'm going to switch to gnome-ubuntu anyhow, kubuntu lucid has given me way too much grief20:36

christabut kubuntu looks much more modern20:36

appleseedI also like KDE, but the builtin apps like Kate, and Dolphin and the temperature sensor module and firefox and chrome keeps crashing on me, and I don't think it's my hardware either. So I think I'll give gnome a try again christa, but I hope you find your sweetspot.20:38
