[00:05] do any of the banks support android NFC payments yet [00:07] i kept reading articles about Google Wallet messing up, is it still going? [00:07] your sure you're not safer with bitcoin? [00:09] penguin42: haha, who knows :P [00:10] hah [00:10] that's typical, all the 'merchants' on Google's UK site are their US ones ¬_¬ [00:21] i use google wallet all the time [00:22] anyone who buys from google play does [00:22] or is that separate? [00:23] oh thats google checkout [00:23] yeah we're more thinking of NFC payment at tills in shops i think [00:24] 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] that's pretty neat, not sure what stops another customer nearby from picking up your bill though :> [00:24] daftykins: It's supposed to be very close - almost but not quite touching I think [00:25] Not long until 2015, the year we start 'thumbing a couple hundred bucks' according to Back to the Future II... [00:25] i was in the states in summer, definitely helped walking around with that much often :> === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away [00:52] well, the orange one is the only one i know of that works with your mobile [05:02] hello === Ubuntu is now known as Guest44410 === Ubuntu is now known as Guest15267 [11:53] Ahoy [11:56] What might resolve this error in python? glib.GError: no element "v4l2src" [12:09] you don't have a video4linux2 source? [12:10] your webcam driver provides a v4l source? not v4l2? [12:10] * popey shrugs [12:10] * bigcalm grumbles at things [12:10] This all works just fine on my Ubuntu workstation [12:10] oh [12:11] And I have proved that the webcam works on the RPi via Camorama [12:11] Get yourself one of the touch screens and you too can beta test this poop app I'm making ;) [12:12] Actually, the touch screen isn't relevant until the very end I guess [12:15] is it debian squeeze? [12:15] Um, maybe? [12:16] http://blog.pixelami.com/2012/06/raspberry-pi-firmware-update-for-debian-squeeze/ [12:16] "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] " [12:16] I got it off of the raspberrypi.org site [12:16] Oh [12:24] I'm not sure what version of Debian it's running. I've only had it installed for a week tops [12:24] Is squeeze the latest version or is it sid? [12:25] Ah, wheezy according to the rpi download page [12:26] bigcalm: Sid is always unstable and is never a release [12:27] I see [12:27] I wish they would use numbers like sensible distros ;) [12:27] bigcalm: I think squeeze is current, Wheezy is next [12:28] I got my image from http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads [12:31] look in /etc/debian_release i think [12:31] it should tell you [12:31] also /etc/apt/sources.list might clue you in [12:31] Aye, tis Wheezy [12:45] Thing is, all modern webcams use UVC. This is a PlayStation Eye (fairly recent I think). Why would v4l(2) is used at all? [12:46] bigcalm: Part of v4l is drivers part of it is a common API for 'get me a camera' [12:47] bigcalm: So I think v4l should actually have the uvc driver bound to it [12:47] I see, makes more sense [12:50] Time to go to town and let Hayley pick a new fountain pen ink [12:50] I shall grumble some more about this over lunch [13:20] pick an ink???

[23:52] ali1234, how do I install it? [23:52] it's really uneccessarily hard to find it on 12.10 [23:53] but basically you open a terminal and then type "software-properties-gtk" [23:53] then go to the last tab "additional drivers" [23:54] you should have a few options for which nvidia driver to use. which one is selected?
