| ojwb | more nasty than natty I feel | 00:04 |
|---|---|---|
| ojwb | hmm, and rebooting, I no longer have access to the launcher thing for some reason | 03:15 |
| ojwb | so I can't run any programs | 03:15 |
| ibeardslee | ojwb: does ctrl+alt+t start a terminal? | 04:10 |
| ojwb | it didn't seem to | 04:20 |
| ojwb | but I've figured out the issue | 04:20 |
| ojwb | while arguing with the monitor resolution, I'd left the laptop internal screen on | 04:21 |
| ojwb | so the dock thing was appearing there | 04:21 |
| ojwb | as was the terminal opened by ctrl+alt+T | 04:21 |
| ojwb | so that's fixed, but I still haven't managed to get the external display at the full res | 04:22 |
| ojwb | it's a cheap lcd tv, so I can believe it's reporting duff info | 04:22 |
| ojwb | but it worked in maverick | 04:22 |

| Moriartynz | good afternoon people | 05:07 |
| Moriartynz | I am a sort-of begiiner at linux/ubuntu, I did have flirts with it with various incarnations, and right up until 110.04, my eyetoy worked perfectly on Skype. Now? hmmmm | 05:08 |
| ajmitch | Moriartynz: I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to use, but there are usefulsupport sites like askubuntu.com if there's noone who could help here | 05:13 |
| Moriartynz | aj, I have a sony eyetoy, comes with a PS3 usually, I used it as the video/,icrophone etc in Windows, Ubunto series all the way up 10 10.10 fine, now.... | 05:16 |
| Moriartynz | the 110.4 upgrade and I have the Black screen of death. Works fine in cheese and Empathy | 05:17 |
| Moriartynz | 11.04 upgrade. GRRR fat finger syndrome | 05:18 |
| ojwb | Moriartynz: I suspect eyetoy + skype + 11.04 just isn't a common enough combination that you're likely to find someone here who knows | 05:43 |
| Moriartynz | thanks. I will have to try further feild then | 05:44 |
| ibeardslee | not used an eyetoy myself .. or even video via skype | 05:44 |
| ibeardslee | sorry | 05:44 |
| Moriartynz | I have had the eyetoy for some years now, and it worked "out of the box" with all ubuntu vers from 7 onwards includes 10.10 and all vers windows. | 05:47 |
| Moriartynz | hate to just bin it because it wont YET work with 11.04 | 05:47 |
| ojwb | it's interesting that it works in other applications | 05:47 |
| ojwb | if I understood you | 05:47 |
| ibeardslee | if it is working with cheese and empathy .. it may be a setting in skype you need to adjust | 05:47 |
| ojwb | that means it's not simply bad drivers | 05:48 |
| ibeardslee | will be a setting in skype | 05:48 |
| ojwb | or some annoying incompatibility between skype and something | 05:48 |
| Moriartynz | reseach points to skype settings needful of change, but I cannot find the xml file spoken of | 05:52 |
| ibeardslee | in Skype's >> Options >> Video Devices what are your choices | 05:54 |
| ibeardslee | ? | 05:54 |
| Moriartynz | looking brbr | 05:55 |
| ibeardslee | brb | 05:57 |
| Moriartynz | bear in mind that I am still much of a beginner with linux, file locations dont share my mental pictures!! LOL | 05:57 |
| Moriartynz | hmmmmm its take two weeks but SUCCESS | 06:07 |
| Moriartynz | LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype seems to do it, so I now have to work out HOW to fit that into library or as command the invokes skyp | 06:08 |
| Moriartynz | I have found " v4/1compat.so" in the usr/lib directory, and it has a yellow circle with a blacky wriggly line thru it, this denotes WHAT? and how to i fix that file? | 06:12 |
| Moriartynz | YES!!!!! created a doc with "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype " as a single line entry and saved it as "skype chat" | 06:37 |
| Moriartynz | created a new launcher and browsed to the file mentioned as the command and the NAME as skype chat. and TYPE as 'application" | 06:37 |
| Moriartynz | saved it all off. | 06:37 |
| Moriartynz | Works!! | 06:37 |
| Moriartynz | any wellintonians here? | 06:40 |
| ibeardslee | Moriartynz: Yes | 07:02 |
| ojwb | he/she waited a whole minute for a response... | 07:12 |
| ojwb | morning (I guess you'd call it) | 20:27 |
