| Azelphur | do any of the banks support android NFC payments yet | 00:05 |
|---|---|---|
| daftykins | i kept reading articles about Google Wallet messing up, is it still going? | 00:07 |
| penguin42 | your sure you're not safer with bitcoin? | 00:07 |
| Azelphur | penguin42: haha, who knows :P | 00:09 |
| daftykins | hah | 00:10 |
| daftykins | that's typical, all the 'merchants' on Google's UK site are their US ones ¬_¬ | 00:10 |
| ali1234 | i use google wallet all the time | 00:21 |
| ali1234 | anyone who buys from google play does | 00:22 |
| ali1234 | or is that separate? | 00:22 |
| ali1234 | oh thats google checkout | 00:23 |
| daftykins | yeah we're more thinking of NFC payment at tills in shops i think | 00:23 |
| daftykins | one of my friends has one of those cards you wave at tills for <£15 or so payments, think that's the value anyway | 00:24 |
| daftykins | that's pretty neat, not sure what stops another customer nearby from picking up your bill though :> | 00:24 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: It's supposed to be very close - almost but not quite touching I think | 00:24 |
| dwatkins | Not long until 2015, the year we start 'thumbing a couple hundred bucks' according to Back to the Future II... | 00:25 |
| daftykins | i was in the states in summer, definitely helped walking around with that much often :> | 00:25 |

| bigcalm | Ahoy | 11:53 |
| bigcalm | What might resolve this error in python? glib.GError: no element "v4l2src" | 11:56 |
| popey | you don't have a video4linux2 source? | 12:09 |
| popey | your webcam driver provides a v4l source? not v4l2? | 12:10 |
| * popey shrugs | 12:10 | |
| * bigcalm grumbles at things | 12:10 | |
| bigcalm | This all works just fine on my Ubuntu workstation | 12:10 |
| popey | oh | 12:10 |
| bigcalm | And I have proved that the webcam works on the RPi via Camorama | 12:11 |
| bigcalm | Get yourself one of the touch screens and you too can beta test this poop app I'm making ;) | 12:11 |
| bigcalm | Actually, the touch screen isn't relevant until the very end I guess | 12:12 |
| popey | is it debian squeeze? | 12:15 |
| bigcalm | Um, maybe? | 12:15 |
| popey | http://blog.pixelami.com/2012/06/raspberry-pi-firmware-update-for-debian-squeeze/ | 12:16 |
| popey | "The original Debian squeeze img contains a kernel that does not have v4l2 configured. However the latest firmware for the Raspberry Pi does include a recompiled kernel with v4l2 support added. | 12:16 |
| popey | " | 12:16 |
| bigcalm | I got it off of the raspberrypi.org site | 12:16 |
| bigcalm | Oh | 12:16 |
| bigcalm | I'm not sure what version of Debian it's running. I've only had it installed for a week tops | 12:24 |
| bigcalm | Is squeeze the latest version or is it sid? | 12:24 |
| bigcalm | Ah, wheezy according to the rpi download page | 12:25 |
| penguin42 | bigcalm: Sid is always unstable and is never a release | 12:26 |
| bigcalm | I see | 12:27 |
| bigcalm | I wish they would use numbers like sensible distros ;) | 12:27 |
| penguin42 | bigcalm: I think squeeze is current, Wheezy is next | 12:27 |
| bigcalm | I got my image from http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads | 12:28 |
| popey | look in /etc/debian_release i think | 12:31 |
| popey | it should tell you | 12:31 |
| popey | also /etc/apt/sources.list might clue you in | 12:31 |
| bigcalm | Aye, tis Wheezy | 12:31 |
| bigcalm | Thing is, all modern webcams use UVC. This is a PlayStation Eye (fairly recent I think). Why would v4l(2) is used at all? | 12:45 |
| penguin42 | bigcalm: Part of v4l is drivers part of it is a common API for 'get me a camera' | 12:46 |
| penguin42 | bigcalm: So I think v4l should actually have the uvc driver bound to it | 12:47 |
| bigcalm | I see, makes more sense | 12:47 |
| bigcalm | Time to go to town and let Hayley pick a new fountain pen ink | 12:50 |
| bigcalm | I shall grumble some more about this over lunch | 12:50 |
| penguin42 | pick an ink??? | 13:20 |
| popey | reddit users.. if i subscribe to a subreddit, what does that do? | 14:19 |

| popey | ta | 14:52 |
| popey | i never go to the reddit front page | 14:52 |
| mgdm | I only set up an account to unsubscribe from /r/atheism and /r/adviceanimals on the occasions I do look at the front page | 14:54 |
| popey | hah | 14:57 |
| popey | oh, if you unsub, it removes them from your front page? | 14:57 |

| popey | yeah, it was being odd for me too | 21:02 |

| mrgt | can't get my screen resolution right. when I increase the resolution my monitor displays "no signal". running ubuntu 12.10 and have an Asus monitor | 23:41 |
| penguin42 | what resolution is it happy with, have you had it happy with any other ubuntu at full resolution? | 23:43 |
| mrgt | it's at 1280 x 800. it was higher before though. I think it changed after I was playing a game.. | 23:44 |
| AlanBell | what is the native resolution of the monitor? | 23:44 |
| AlanBell | and is it hdmi or dvi or vga? | 23:45 |
| Azelphur | Anyone know anything similar to pyrenamer, but with more features? :P | 23:47 |
| mrgt | 1920 x 1080. it's connected via vga | 23:47 |
| penguin42 | mrgt: Have you tried rebooting since running the game? | 23:47 |
| solarcloud_3scrn | Ithink poppey's in Y!ahoo gnome at mo. http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/search/search_result;_ylt=AoY81BF.joLnD1pVY.TxJTBJBgx.;_ylv=3?page=1&p=Ubuntu+gnome&scope=all&fltr=uk_&question_status=all&date_submitted=all&category=0&answer_count=any&orderby=date&filter_search=true | 23:47 |
| mrgt | yeah | 23:47 |
| ali1234 | mrgt connect it by hdmi, dvi-d, or display port | 23:47 |
| ali1234 | what graphics card do you have? | 23:48 |
| penguin42 | ali1234: Well it should manage it on vga, I run my 1920 over vga on one laptop | 23:48 |
| mrgt | erm.. but I didn't have it connected that way before and I had a higher resolution .. | 23:48 |
| ali1234 | penguin42: i bet it looks terrible though | 23:48 |
| penguin42 | mrgt: Is it the only monitor connected to your system, and is your system as a laptop | 23:49 |
| ali1234 | yes, and what video card? | 23:49 |
| mrgt | penguin42, it's the only monitor and it's a desktop | 23:49 |
| penguin42 | ali1234: Yeh it's not as crisp as DVI but with the laptop I'd rather have the extra pixels and screen real estate | 23:49 |
| mrgt | ali1234, it's NVIDIA | 23:51 |
| ali1234 | did you install nvidia driver? | 23:51 |
| mrgt | ali1234, how do I install it? | 23:52 |
| ali1234 | it's really uneccessarily hard to find it on 12.10 | 23:52 |
| ali1234 | but basically you open a terminal and then type "software-properties-gtk" | 23:53 |
| ali1234 | then go to the last tab "additional drivers" | 23:53 |
| ali1234 | you should have a few options for which nvidia driver to use. which one is selected? | 23:54 |
