| earthling_ | anyone know of a way to make a snap-to feature like they have in XP? | 00:53 |
|---|---|---|
| earthling_ | where the mouse cursor goes to the dialogue button automatically | 00:53 |
| DarkwingDuck | Snap to? | 01:02 |
| DarkwingDuck | You mean like dragging a window to the right and it resizes to the the right half | 01:02 |
| DarkwingDuck | ? | 01:02 |
| DarkwingDuck | earthling_: | 01:02 |
| DarkwingDuck | ^^^^ | 01:02 |
| earthling_ | the cursor goes on top of a button | 01:06 |
| earthling_ | http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/accessibility/snapto.mspx | 01:08 |
| DarkwingDuck | Not that I know of | 01:14 |
| earthling_ | ok | 01:24 |
| DarkwingDuck | Sorry mate | 01:24 |
| DarkwingDuck | You can dig google for it. | 01:24 |
| DarkwingDuck | someone might have figured out how. | 01:25 |
| earthling_ | no prob | 01:25 |
| earthling_ | I put in an idea in the brainstorm forum | 01:25 |
| earthling_ | didn't find any | 01:25 |
| DarkwingDuck | Lots of stuff on google that isn't there. | 01:26 |
| earthling_ | yep | 01:26 |
| earthling_ | I checked google too | 01:26 |
| earthling_ | I'm always looking for ways to speed things up | 01:27 |
| DarkwingDuck | :D | 01:30 |

| yax51 | anyone know where I can find linux drivers for asus g50vt x-5? they don't have any on the asus page and I need my webcam drivers... | 05:17 |
| bioterror | indout which chipset it uses | 05:21 |
| bioterror | find | 05:21 |
| bioterror | would help more finding the drivers | 05:22 |
| yax51 | Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd 1.3 MPixel UVC Webcam | 05:25 |
| yax51 | I find it in lsusb, but nothing works with it | 05:26 |
| yax51 | cheese says its there, but I get no picture | 05:27 |
| yax51 | skype also | 05:28 |
| bioterror | then you have drivers | 05:30 |
| bioterror | you need to file a bug raport | 05:30 |
| yax51 | I had it working at one point just fine, maybe I turned it off somehow with out realizing it.... | 05:33 |
| yax51 | is there a way to access the setting of my webcam? | 05:33 |
| duanedesign | yax51: can you try the command: lsmod | grep video | 05:35 |
| duanedesign | I think the driver is called uvcvideo | 05:36 |
| yax51 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/580008/ | 05:37 |
| duanedesign | yep, as bioterror already noted itis not because of lack of driver... | 05:39 |
| duanedesign | hmm | 05:39 |
| yax51 | yeah, but I was going to reinstall them and see if that did anything | 05:39 |
| duanedesign | yax51: does this command return something: ls /dev/video* | 05:45 |
| duanedesign | yax51: if you have ffmpeg installed you can test the camera with: ffmpeg -f oss -f video4linux2 -s 320x240 -i /dev/video0 out.mpg | 05:48 |
| yax51 | /dev/video0 | 05:48 |
| duanedesign | also some troubleshooting steps here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam/Troubleshooting | 05:49 |
| yax51 | sweet! | 05:49 |
| yax51 | the funny thing is that it was working fine like 3 days ago | 05:50 |
| duanedesign | yax51: coould be a brightness issue | 05:50 |
| duanedesign | yax51: see the picture is dark section on that wiki page | 05:51 |
| duanedesign | yax51: one more link :) this is specific to the driver you are using. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UVC | 05:52 |
| duanedesign | best of luck I gotta get a few hours sleep. Let us know hoe it goes | 05:52 |
| yax51 | Thanks!! | 05:53 |
| yax51 | ok that was dumb | 06:18 |
| yax51 | it was my NVidia graphics driver, switched to the current one, and Bingo everything works | 06:19 |
| bioterror | good | 06:20 |

| kristian-aalborg | hi | 18:57 |
| kristian-aalborg | I was thinking of something... can I have a menu for different sessions when I boot up | 18:58 |
| kristian-aalborg | for instance: 1) run gnome session --- 2) run cli session with program A --- 3) run cli session with program B ? | 18:59 |
| * kristian-aalborg thinks aloud... this could be done in bash + dialog, hurm...? | 19:18 | |
| hggdh | kristian-aalborg, you already have something like that on GDM -- you can select to run Gnome, or an X term, etc | 19:42 |
| kristian-aalborg | hggdh: gdm is too heavy | 19:46 |
| hggdh | kristian-aalborg, there is XFCE, for example (Xubuntu), and other WMs as options | 19:47 |
| kristian-aalborg | I was thinking something as light as possible | 19:47 |
| kristian-aalborg | there's a thing called quingy, I think... that might fit the job | 19:48 |
| kristian-aalborg | ah - SLIM will be fine, I think | 19:48 |
| kristian-aalborg | also that one is rather easy to work with | 19:48 |
| KinkyPinkie | anyone know a good tool to defragment and partition an external drive? | 20:50 |
| head_victim | KinkyPinkie: use a livecd with gparted on it for partitioning and fsck is a good file system checking tool. | 20:51 |
| KinkyPinkie | gparted doesn't seem to recognise my drive | 20:51 |
| holstein | KinkyPinkie: maybe its dead? | 20:52 |
| KinkyPinkie | nono | 20:52 |
| holstein | in a terminal | 20:52 |
| holstein | sudo fdisk -l | 20:52 |
| holstein | KinkyPinkie: have you used gparted before? | 20:52 |
| holstein | theres a drop down in the upper right | 20:52 |
| KinkyPinkie | yes | 20:52 |
| holstein | where you choose the drive* | 20:52 |
| KinkyPinkie | i'll just try some more googling. thanks anyway :) | 20:53 |
| holstein | well, i would think google will say gparted | 20:53 |
| holstein | what do you get when you run sudo fdisk -l? | 20:54 |
| holstein | do you see the drive? | 20:54 |
| hggdh | well, one must specify the disk on fdisk: 'fdisk /dev/sda' | 21:04 |
| holstein | i was going for more of a list of what is mountable | 21:05 |
| hggdh | even on -l; also you will need root | 21:06 |
| holstein | sudo fdisk -l ?? | 21:07 |
| holstein | for me that just lists what the computer can see | 21:07 |
| holstein | what would be mountable if its not mounted | 21:07 |
| KinkyPinkie | yea well i'm giving up on the defrag thing anyway, don't want to risc it with some home-made tool :P better boot to w7 (shoot me) | 21:07 |
| holstein | i dont know why gparted is not doing that though.. | 21:08 |
| KinkyPinkie | and maybe things will work out after the restart | 21:08 |
| holstein | lol | 21:08 |
| holstein | home-made tool ;) | 21:08 |
| KinkyPinkie | :P | 21:08 |
| holstein | do what makes you feel safe :) | 21:08 |
| kristian-aalborg | hi holstein | 21:47 |
| kristian-aalborg | would anybody have a .nanorc file that's good for prose? | 21:47 |
