| JMeK | Hi! Since I have a lot of trouble getting my bamboo-pen CTL-460 working in UbuntuStudio (it just doesn't work at all) see also this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1582902 I have really two questions: First: is it me, is it the bamboo pen, or is it Ubuntustudio that has the bug. And second: what is a good tablet/pen wich works out of the box in Ubuntustudio? As an artist I really need a working pentablet! | 12:54 |
| astraljava | JMeK: Sorry, unless you are seeing any errors while applying the commands listen on the tutorial, there's hardly anything I can do as not having the same hardware. | 13:10 |
| astraljava | JMeK: What you can do is `lsmod | grep wacom', to ensure the module is being loaded, but that's as far as my expertise reaches. :) | 13:10 |
| astraljava | JMeK: Looks like many Bamboo Pen users have gotten help through that tutorial, so it doesn't look to be the hardware. | 13:11 |
| persia | JMeK, If `uname -m` gives "i686", you're running 32-bit (i386). | 13:31 |
| JMeK | persia: yes, 'uname -m' gives "i686". So now I know Iḿ running 32-bit (learning somethinng every day). What are the implications? What to do next? | 13:36 |
| persia | I don't have a tablet, and don't know the answer to that. I just know that i386 kernels say "i686" and amd64 kernels say "x86_64" | 13:36 |
| persia | Your correspondent in the forum seemed confused. | 13:37 |
| JMeK | persia: thanks, I will remember this and also pass it on to my correspondent | 13:38 |
| skx | am I doing something wrong? after every single kernel update, X fails and I have to reinstall the graphic card driver from console with jockey-text, I'm using nVidia restricted drivers if that matters | 16:15 |
| rlameiro | skx: its possible, since they are propietary kernels | 16:16 |
| rlameiro | and the driver needs to be compiled against each kernel version | 16:16 |
| skx | they're just modules and should be updated along with the kernel :\ | 16:16 |
| rlameiro | if the driver was opensource, that wouldnt happen | 16:16 |
| skx | "FATAL: Module nvidia not found" | 16:16 |
| rlameiro | its not opensource | 16:16 |
| skx | it doesn't matter | 16:17 |
| rlameiro | they cant chip it like that | 16:17 |
| skx | if I can update it, so could the update tool | 16:17 |
| rlameiro | its a licesing issue, they can put propietary stuff on your computer without consent, even if it is an upgrade | 16:17 |
| rlameiro | blame Nvidia for that | 16:18 |
| skx | they could add a popup | 16:18 |
| skx | and I have already put a proprietary stuff on my computer | 16:18 |
| rlameiro | skx: are you using a realtime kernel? | 16:19 |
| skx | rlameiro, preempt | 16:19 |
| rlameiro | it can be because of that | 16:20 |
| rlameiro | maybe they only prepare propietary modules for the generic kernel | 16:20 |
| skx | it's because it's not being updated properly, I can install proprietary modules from nvidia by hand | 16:20 |
| skx | and they work with the preempt kernel | 16:20 |
| astraljava | skx: There this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1036788, but beware, no support whatsoever. | 16:20 |
| skx | thanks, astraljava, will look into that | 16:21 |
| rlameiro | each time you install a nvidia driver by hand, it compiles the modules against the kernel you are using | 16:23 |
| rlameiro | it does it automatically | 16:23 |
| astraljava | skx: Here's another: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=835573 | 16:24 |
| skx | they all seem a little old, but thanks, I'll do that | 16:26 |
| astraljava | skx: I don't think the principle has changed, though. | 16:27 |
| holstein | In FalkTX' lucid main ppa is a patched nvidia driver which works fine | 16:29 |
| holstein | for me on Alessio's realtime kernel in a ubuntustudio 10.04 64bit | 16:29 |
| holstein | environment. | 16:29 |
| holstein | ^from the mailing list | 16:30 |
| holstein | relevant? | 16:30 |
| astraljava | Hmm, there aren't all the drivers that can be found from nVidia's website, so I'm not sure if all types of cards are supported. But a good call nonetheless. | 16:35 |
| astraljava | What is the reason there's a huge amount of packages there, wouldn't it be reasonable to get those into main repos? | 16:37 |
| astraljava | Oh, KXstudio, right? | 16:37 |
| rlameiro | yeap | 16:38 |
