pleia2(actually wrapping up in a few minutesZ)02:42
philipballewcan anyone help with installing a driver into the kernel?04:26
seidosphilipballew: hey how's it going?  i can try04:27
philipballewwell i just bought a sd card and come to find out my sd card doesnt work out of the box but my digging lead me here04:28
philipballewhttps://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=429416&action=edit04:28
philipballewi think this is what i need04:28
seidoshow funny, my sd card reader doesn't work either04:29
seidosit used to04:29
seidosi think the hardware may have failed04:29
philipballewthats ironic. perhaps someone attacked all linux users computers04:30
seidosphilipballew: you can do lscpi, find your card reader, then search for the module you need.  and, do sudo lshw to check if a driver is already loaded04:30
seidosphilipballew: that's an interesting evaluation04:30
seidosmaybe an sd card reading manufacturer :P04:30
philipballewthey think we need to go to windows!!!!!04:31
seidosit's not what you know though, it's what you can prove!04:31
seidosfor some reason, i feel like watching a star wars flick.  revenge of the sith is probably my favorite now.04:32
seidosanyway, good luck getting your card reader working philipballew.  there may not be a decent enough driver to get it going, though04:33
akkAn SD card generally doesn't require a driver -- it's the reader that requires a driver.04:33
akkWhat reader are you using?04:33
philipballewalright. if i cant figure it out ill post here again and someone will figure it out if i dont04:34
seidosphilipballew: may i ask why you need the sd card?  did you get a camera or something?04:35
seidosmaybe someone wants everybody to use usb memory sticks04:35
akkA separate USB SD card reader is typically just the same as a USB stick ... a generic USB-storate device.04:36
philipballewi am gonna put by boot loader on it and make my laptop more secure04:36
akkstorage04:36
akkbut if you're trying to read it from a built-in drive on a laptop, sometimes those use screwy drivers.04:36
seidosperhaps an external usb card reader, my internal usb card reader uses the pci bus i'm pretty sure04:37
seidosindeed it does04:37
seidosphilipballew: hey, i'm using the same sdhci-pci driver.  do lsmod | grep sdhci-pci to see if it's loaded (though if it shows up in lshw i'm pretty sure it already is)04:39
akkA lot of the common SD readers built in to laptops use a TI chip that works, but only sort of -- like it can't survive a suspend04:39
akkand the OS may lock up if you try to suspend with the SD card mounted, or might refuse to suspend.04:39
seidosah, well the sd card reader is dead now04:40
seidosi wasn't able to wake it up last time i had an sd card to play with04:40
philipballewthere cool for music and their small i find04:42
akkI was trying to use mine for that, but once I found out I couldn't suspend, I moved the music to a USB stick instead.04:43
seidosusb sticks work for me.  they are rock solid.  and they can be used to boot from.  sd card on pci bus, not so sure04:45
philipballewthe kernal says its loaded. i probably have a different chipset then you04:45
seidoswhat does lshw say philipballew ?04:46
MarkDudeakk informative post on your blog. Interesting to see devs remove stuff without giving a new way to do it04:47
seidosthis is mine:                  product: R5C822 SD/SDIO/MMC/MS/MSPro Host Adapter04:47
seidos                vendor: Ricoh Co Ltd04:47
seidoshey MarkDude04:47
akkMarkDude: They do that pretty often, sadly.04:47
MarkDudeI remember lurnin' all those dpkg ways to fix video- in time for it to be removed04:49
MarkDudehello seidos04:49
philipballewdont you mean lspci?04:50
seidosphilipballew: either way i think04:50
seidosi just happened to have lshw still up04:50
philipballew06:00.0 SD Host controller: Ricoh Co Ltd Device e822 (rev ff) (prog-if ff)04:51
philipballew!!! Unknown header type 7f04:51
philipballewKernel driver in use: sdhci-pci04:51
philipballewKernel modules: sdhci-pci04:51
Eurekaphilipballew: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)04:51
seidoslol weird, why did Eureka do that05:07
seidoscurioser and curioser05:07
seidoscurious too05:07
philipballewseemes weird!05:07
seidosphilipballew: i suspect our devices need a specific driver to function properly05:07
seidosif you figure out how to write one, let me know05:08
philipballewschools keepin my to busy05:08
philipballewbut its easter break now05:08

akkI wish the loco pages could learn to recognize launchpad, so logging in didn't always get the "you are trying to sign in from an unrecognized service" confirmation screen.17:15
pleia2it's probably on the launchpad side (which can be difficult to work with), but is there a loco directory bug about it?17:19
iheartubuntuEpic FAIL - Sergio Ramos of Real Madrid drops the trophy... http://youtu.be/tqU0BK4uxHM17:19
akkI don't see a bug if I search for launchpad.17:25
* akk files one17:26
