| yax51 | hello | 17:41 |
|---|---|---|
| yax51 | I need help trying to make and run a script for the upside down webcam fix | 17:42 |
| holstein | try elaborating...and dont assume its "the" upside down fix.. most of us might probably dont need it | 17:43 |
| holstein | yax51: do you have a fix that works? and you just need to run it at login? | 17:43 |
| yax51 | holstein: yes and yes, just can't recall how to make it into a script that executes it | 17:44 |
| holstein | yax51: what operating system are you on? | 17:44 |
| holstein | main ubuntu? | 17:44 |
| holstein | yax51: this might help you set it up on main ubuntu 13.04 http://linuxg.net/how-to-display-the-hidden-startup-applications-on-ubuntu-13-04/ | 17:45 |
| yax51 | yeah 13.04....I decided to change from unity to classic gnome | 17:46 |
| holstein | yax51: and you see the startup applications by the method i gave? | 17:47 |
| yax51 | yes | 17:50 |
| yax51 | ok I figured it out...I forgot about launchers | 17:52 |
| yax51 | I got the fix here: http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Libv4l_Upside_Down_Webcams it works for my machine | 17:53 |
| yax51 | and then placed the command into a .sh file and allowed running as a program | 17:54 |
| yax51 | then created a launcher and pointed it to the .sh file I made earlier :) | 17:54 |
| holstein | !goldstar | 17:54 |
| holstein | hmmm.. i'll just have to owe you one... | 17:55 |
| yax51 | now f I added that command into the startup, it should start skype on startup yes? | 17:55 |
| holstein | skype has a "start on starup" option | 17:56 |
| holstein | there is nothing about ubuntu that is preventing any application or script from being started that way | 17:56 |
| holstein | if you implement it properly, it should work | 17:56 |
| yax51 | true, but it will have the webcam upside down, apparently this command needs to be run for each application needing to use the webcam | 17:57 |
| holstein | sure.. see above ^^ "elaboration request | 17:58 |
| holstein | then, you'll need that startup script, which is not being prevented from running by anything here | 17:58 |
| yax51 | other then this "bandaid solution" I haven't yet found a more permenant on | 17:58 |
| holstein | yeah? | 17:58 |
| holstein | you wont have that hardware forever though | 17:59 |
| holstein | i wouldnt worrry about it too much | 17:59 |
| yax51 | hehe true | 18:04 |
| yax51 | I guess its my OCD :P | 18:05 |
| holstein | if you really want to get OCD, start trying to take it up with the folks who are responsible for the hardware support | 18:05 |
| holstein | start emailing and calling the vendor of the hardware and ask them to fix the support issues you are having | 18:05 |
| holstein | that should keep you busy ;) | 18:06 |
| yax51 | I should....asus customer support isn't the greatest though :P | 18:06 |
| holstein | well, they dont, and didnt promise you linux support | 18:07 |
| yax51 | I tried calling them on a RAM issue I was having, and needed to replace the stick | 18:08 |
| yax51 | I just needed the type of RAM for my machine, and when I told them I was running linux they said they couldn't help me :P | 18:09 |
| holstein | i would go to crucial | 18:09 |
| holstein | they dont promise you to be able to change the ram... for a while, they soldered it into the early EEE's | 18:09 |
| yax51 | so I called back, told them I was running vista, an they gave me what I needed | 18:09 |
| yax51 | hmmm I was not aware of that | 18:10 |
| holstein | it doesnt say on the box "change the components all you want!' | 18:10 |
| holstein | "asus encourages you to upgrade any component you want!" | 18:11 |
| holstein | thats *not* the deal you have with asau | 18:11 |
| holstein | asus* | 18:11 |
| yax51 | heheh true | 18:11 |
| holstein | consier system76 in the future.. they might not encourage or support changing all components either, but they do support linux | 18:12 |
| holstein | consider* | 18:12 |
| yax51 | hmmm might be a good idea | 18:28 |
| yax51 | but I'm not ready to give up this machine yet, I've had it for over 5 years now | 18:29 |
