=== Len-nb is now known as Len-wb === smartboyhw_ is now known as smartboyhw [08:32] Any idea how I might take a snapshot from my Ricoh webcam on my Vaio laptop, which I'm not really even sure is being recognized/mounted/whatever? [08:41] I have a Vaio where the cam is not supported [08:42] ornj: Try cheese. If it doesn't find your cam, there's still a chance you can enable it [08:42] ornj: You'll need to google for it. I know some Vaios may enable their cams [08:43] yeah, i'm googling... [08:47] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1891429 [08:47] 'zat mean it's not supported on linux/with 12.04? [08:54] ornj: I don't know exactly which cam you have, but according to that thread, someone got it working in the end, just by updating the system. This was before 12.04 was released, so whatever cam he had should work with 12.04 [08:54] ornj: Did you try cheese? [08:54] I did. Black screen. [08:55] wtf [08:55] It does seem to show the device correctly as /dev/video0 though [08:55] So... I dunno. I'm way out of my league/in over my head, here [08:56] I'm really not an expert on cams and drivers, but it seems the cam is supported [08:56] Just that the driver may not be doing what you'd want it to do, perhaps [08:56] I would find out what the driver is called, and google about that too [08:58] tnx [09:40] So, I downloaded some firmware thingie... but it said "Failed to find any supported webcams"? [09:40] following the step-by-step I found online [09:40] or do we think it's already got the correct firmware 'cause cheese recognized it on /dev/video0? [15:49] well it seems like my installation is stuck at "copying logs" [15:50] doebi: Which version? [15:50] 12.10 [15:50] And stuck at "copying logs"? That's a 1st [15:50] it says Disabling CD in sources.list [15:50] doebi: Report a bug against ubiquity please [15:50] doebi: It should [15:51] i dont have a cd drive at all [15:51] doebi: No no no it thinks of your USB drive as an CD image. [15:51] No worries on that part. [15:52] k. how can i finish install now? [15:53] doebi: Hmm it shouldn't be stuck. [15:54] doebi: Try if an Ubuntu image works, if it does install the Ubuntu Studio packages post-installation. [15:54] meh [15:54] dont want to reinstall [15:55] installing desktop version would also result in having unity [15:55] doebi: Meh we really can't do much if it freezes (we don't do continuous builds of 12.10 now) [15:55] doebi: Try 13.04 Beta 2 is also a solution. [15:56] hmm.. [15:56] i thought of it first... [15:56] doebi: It's relatively stable now. Or, just wait for four days till 13.04 releases. [15:57] i can upgrade beta to stable later, right? [15:57] doebi: Sure, it is just sudo apt-get upgrade :) [15:58] well + sudo apt-get update i guess [15:58] yep. [15:59] well my current problem is, that my pc is stuck and i dont have another pc to create a new bootabke usb [16:00] doebi: Well then. Maybe try re-running the whole installation again. [16:03] doebi: Just to know, what architecture are you installing and what computer it is? [16:04] amd64 [16:04] board: MSI Z77A-G43 [16:05] doebi: Do you have Secure Boot and UEFI on? [16:05] cpu: i7 3770k [16:05] didnt check [16:05] i thought i would encounter probs upon start [16:05] and there werent so i thought its fine [16:05] doebi: Yeah it would have then. [16:06] doebi: Try re-running the whole process and mark UEFI and Secure Boot OFF before installing. [16:06] Mark them off in the BIOS OPTIOB [16:06] will do [16:09] s/OPTIOB/OPTION/ [16:09] doebi: Thanks! [16:15] there is no option for secure boot [16:16] and uefi is 8th in boot device order [16:22] doebi: Hmm then that isn't the problem then [16:25] i reinstalled now [16:25] same stuck [16:25] killed pc [16:25] rebooted and fine [16:31] doebi: \o/ [17:21] the distro is all buggy [17:22] bothing is working [17:24] doebi: Proof!? [17:28] doebi: I'm sure Ubuntu Studio isn't really buggy [17:29] if nothing is working then i ask myself how you are here on irc, unless you're on another machine :D [17:29] what version is it you're using? [17:31] DarkEra, he's using 12.10 and he's on mobile I think. [17:32] ok, thanks for letting know smartboyhw :) [17:49] darkera: i am here using my irssi session my server [17:51] DarkEra: (doebi) darkera: i am here using my irssi session my server [17:51] You missed that sentence here:) [17:52] doebi: Disabling CD means, it's disabling the CD repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list .CD means whatever medium you are using to install with, so it could be USB [17:53] well good to know. but does it solve my problem? [17:54] doebi: It's unlikely you will find issues with Ubuntu Studio concerning installation that you won't find with at least Xubuntu, and maybe also any other Ubuntu flavor [17:54] doebi: You need to tell us what "everything" is buggy. [17:54] doebi: Did you check the medium for corruption? [17:55] me: booting, update manager: i have updates, me confirms, update manager: i am stuck [17:55] me rebooting. same problem [17:57] me trying to create startup disk. usb disk is full , me erasing. ersser stucks "unknown filesxstem" [17:58] doebi: I'm sorry you are having problems, but just remember, we are volunteers working on this project. I'm the project lead, and will happily help you with any problems you may have. Did you check the install medium for corruption? [17:58] me switching to colleagues pc(windows) fornating disk, transfering image (all working fine) [17:58] so medium is fine [17:59] doebi: Did you check the ISO for corruption? [18:00] nope. my torrent client did [18:00] anytime i am troubleshooting linux indtakls i hear of checkng iso.. <.< [18:00] no better solutions? [18:01] doebi: You said your install got stuck [18:02] i should switch back to win [18:02] doebi: Well, I'm sure Gates will be on IRC every to give you support, if you do [18:03] well. know what. he doesnt need to. cause install works on win [18:03] doebi: As I said, we're volunteers. If you have a problem, let us know. We don't need the attitude [18:03] Yeah, Win always works ;) [18:03] I'll go and do something constructive.. [18:03] i rly appreciate ur work and want to contribute [18:03] otherwise i wont be here [18:04] but its so frustrating when u spend whole day installing with tons of sticks [18:05] and nth is working [18:05] i installed standard ubuntu now. and so far it went fine [18:06] currently updating [18:06] The internal parts of how that works is not much different between Ubuntu and Ubuntu Studio. [18:06] doebi: if that works for you then I would suggest just installing the relevant packages from ubuntustudio - it's the same base after all [18:07] funkyhat: thats the idea [18:07] i realized one bug [18:07] on hd encryption pw prompt. i have graphic bugs [18:08] but when entering pw and hitting enter all works [18:12] just for the record, i never said win works all the time. but at least installation works [18:13] do you guys need any more details on my system for recovering the bug? [18:13] my guess its cause of the ssd [18:15] doebi: if you could file the bug yourself that would be the most help. `ubuntu-bug plymouth` in a terminal [18:15] doebi: that way it will collect various details about your hardware and attach them to the bug automatically [18:16] (I'm guessing the issue is with plymouth as I think that's what draws the encryption password prompt) [18:17] actually i was taking about the stuck at install bug [18:18] i kind like the grsphucs bug. its scaring ppl away if they try to access my pc :D [18:18] ah finally a REAL keyboard again :D [18:40] ok i crashed default ubuntu aswell [18:40] compiz crashed twice [20:04] hi!
