[03:42] bye all === GrusGrus is now known as grusgrus === Teemukin65 is now known as GrusGrus [12:54] 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! [13:10] 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] 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. :) [13:11] JMeK: Looks like many Bamboo Pen users have gotten help through that tutorial, so it doesn't look to be the hardware. [13:31] JMeK, If `uname -m` gives "i686", you're running 32-bit (i386). [13:36] 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] 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" [13:37] Your correspondent in the forum seemed confused. [13:38] persia: thanks, I will remember this and also pass it on to my correspondent [16:15] 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 [16:16] skx: its possible, since they are propietary kernels [16:16] and the driver needs to be compiled against each kernel version [16:16] they're just modules and should be updated along with the kernel :\ [16:16] if the driver was opensource, that wouldnt happen [16:16] "FATAL: Module nvidia not found" [16:16] its not opensource [16:17] it doesn't matter [16:17] they cant chip it like that [16:17] if I can update it, so could the update tool [16:17] its a licesing issue, they can put propietary stuff on your computer without consent, even if it is an upgrade [16:18] blame Nvidia for that [16:18] they could add a popup [16:18] and I have already put a proprietary stuff on my computer [16:19] skx: are you using a realtime kernel? [16:19] rlameiro, preempt [16:20] it can be because of that [16:20] maybe they only prepare propietary modules for the generic kernel [16:20] it's because it's not being updated properly, I can install proprietary modules from nvidia by hand [16:20] and they work with the preempt kernel [16:20] skx: There this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1036788, but beware, no support whatsoever. [16:21] thanks, astraljava, will look into that [16:23] each time you install a nvidia driver by hand, it compiles the modules against the kernel you are using [16:23] it does it automatically [16:24] skx: Here's another: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=835573 [16:26] they all seem a little old, but thanks, I'll do that [16:27] skx: I don't think the principle has changed, though. [16:29] In FalkTX' lucid main ppa is a patched nvidia driver which works fine [16:29] for me on Alessio's realtime kernel in a ubuntustudio 10.04 64bit [16:29] environment. [16:30] ^from the mailing list [16:30] relevant? [16:35] 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. [16:37] 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] Oh, KXstudio, right? [16:38] yeap
