[01:04] <shakes808> Good evening everyone
[01:04] <cmaloney> Howdy
[01:05] <shakes808> I have been googling around trying to find out how to get my camera to work on my laptop and nothing yet.  Was wondering if anyone could help me :) I have tried cheese and modprobe via ubuntu forums but not it :|
[01:06] <cmaloney> Which camera?
[01:06] <shakes808> the integrated web cam
[01:06] <shakes808> I had it working at one point.
[01:06] <cmaloney> Which laptop?
[01:06] <shakes808> Then i was messing with my partitions and couldn't get anything back
[01:06] <shakes808> Wiped my entire computer, reinstalled Ubuntu on the entire drive and now I can't get it to work again
[01:07] <cmaloney> Also: Doesn't work with what?
[01:07] <rick_h_> evening
[01:07] <cmaloney> Evening rick_h_
[01:07] <shakes808> Only ever used it with Google Hangouts
[01:07] <cmaloney> shakes808: What model laptop?
[01:07] <shakes808> It used to work before I had to wipe my drives
[01:07] <shakes808> OOOOH
[01:07] <shakes808> Dell Inspiron 1545
[01:07] <cmaloney> less story, more explanation. ;)
[01:07] <shakes808> haha sorry
[01:08] <cmaloney> And which version of Ubuntu?
[01:09] <shakes808> LTS
[01:09] <cmaloney> Which LTS? :)
[01:09] <mrgoodcat> 9 hours down, 2 to go
[01:09] <shakes808> 14.04
[01:13] <cmaloney> shakes808: WHat have you tried so far?
[01:14] <shakes808> getting cheese and modprobe. found those on the ubuntu forum
[01:17] <cmaloney> and does cheese work?
[01:18] <shakes808> cheese seems to work, but not when I am trying to do google hangots.
[01:18] <shakes808> hangouts
[01:21] <cmaloney> OK so if cheese is working then the camera is working
[01:21] <cmaloney> Did you "allow" flash access to your camera?
[01:21] <shakes808> I believe so
[01:21] <cmaloney> Check. :)
[01:22] <shakes808> checking
[01:26] <shakes808> everything is set to ask when something is going to be accessing my camera and/or mic
[01:26] <cmaloney> OK, so if you go to Google Hangouts what happens?
[01:27] <shakes808> The light for the camera goes on and off and then nothing.  Then nothing appears in the spot it is for me and they can't see me
[01:28] <cmaloney> Click on the video camera icon and see if that lets you turn it on
[01:29] <cmaloney> It seems there isn't a problem at the OS level to get you access to the camera
[01:29] <cmaloney> so something related to hangouts isn't getting the camera
[01:31] <shakes808> hmmmm
[01:38] <shakes808> So, I guess I don't need a camera ;)
[01:38] <shakes808> Thank you for your help
[01:44] <shakes808> rick_h_: Hello Rick, question about Bookie.  What frameworks does it use?
[01:44] <rick_h_> shakes808: pyramid for python, celery for job running, YUI for JS
[01:44] <rick_h_> pyramid for the python web app I should say
[01:45] <shakes808> cool.  Looking to get back in Python
[01:45] <rick_h_> cool, it's a happy place
[01:45] <shakes808> last time I touched it was the last time I was coming to the Wednesday meets
[01:46] <rick_h_> gotcha
[02:00] <shakes808> rick_h_: how are the interns?
[02:00] <rick_h_> heh, they've grown up
[02:00] <rick_h_> naw, there's folks hacking on things but it's more ad-hoc and I've had a hard time keeping up with work/surgery/etc
[13:12] <brousch__> Isn't this the CHC coffee house? http://www.wxyz.com/news/man-robbed-at-gunpoint-for-sunglasses-at-royal-oak-coffee-shop
[13:35] <rick_h_> yep
[13:35] <rick_h_> and CHC is tonight
[13:36] <brousch> My BiL is a Royal Oak cop. He liked the story on FB. I wonder if he made the arrest
[13:37] <rick_h_> brousch: ask him if he's on duty wed nights...say 8pm ish...and wants a free coffee :)
[13:37] <brousch> Do they have donuts?
[13:38] <rick_h_> organic kale muffins?
[13:38] <brousch> o_O
[13:39] <rick_h_> and morning to all
[14:10] <cmaloney> Happy birthday _stink_
[14:10] <_stink_> thanks!
[14:10] <rick_h_> party time!
[14:11] <_stink_> something like that
[14:14] <widox> hah. good thing its not sunny @ 8pm :)
[14:14] <rick_h_> widox: cold as it is today I'm worried about being mugged for my coat or gloves
[14:16] <widox> heh
[14:16] <widox> rick_h_: get the thinkpad yet?
[14:16] <rick_h_> widox: :( 'released to manufacturing'
[14:16] <rick_h_> still
[14:16] <widox> sad
[14:16] <rick_h_> going to london on friday night so running out of days for it to get here
[15:10] <wolfger> Morning.
[15:11] <wolfger> brousch: cmaloney: That is interesting that Win 8 lets you see your bootup time and what impacts that. First good thing I've ever heard about Win 8.
[15:21] <cmaloney> First scary bit for the morning: getting a knock on the door from neighbor that there was a mound of ice under our outside spigot.
[15:22] <rick_h_> did you tell him "of course it's ice, it's cold outside!"?
[15:22] <cmaloney> Her, and the main issue was it should have been turned off
[15:22] <rick_h_> :)
[15:25] <cmaloney> Humor levels are not at minimum levels. Please try again later. :)
[15:26] <cmaloney> That and someone decided it'd be a good idea to put a .lnk file in a directory that usually handles .csv files
[15:27] <cmaloney> To which Python correctly interprets as "There's a fucking NULL in this file"
[15:27] <cmaloney> Which has the added benefit of having me try to figure out where the NULL is in a direcotry of .csv files.
[15:28] <cmaloney> and realizing later on that the code (that I wrote) isn't bright enough to try globbing.
[15:54] <brousch> cmaloney: I had a spigot break last winter. Made a nice big ice stalagmite
[15:55] <brousch> https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/dq0o5LXr
[15:55] <rick_h_> brousch: lol ty for your comfort
[15:55] <rick_h_> you forgot to mention the free coffee :P
[15:56] <brousch> hah
[15:56] <brousch> They probably get that anyways
[18:23] <cmaloney> This is why I dress like a hobo. :)
[18:24] <cmaloney> Also: Finding out there's an instrumental metal music setting for your Smart Mix plugin for Squeezebox = A+
[18:24]  * cmaloney is listening to Animals as Leaders - CAFO
[18:46] <wolfger> Animals as Leaders..... that's a documentary, innit?
[18:56] <ColonelPanic001> that's a band
[18:57] <_stink_> a rubber band
[19:10] <cmaloney> An awesome band.
[19:20] <wolfger> a rare band, a rattlin' band, a band down in the valley-o?
[20:16]  * cmaloney is listening to Peter Schilling - The Different Story (World of Lust and Crime)
[20:17] <cmaloney> I'll send something nice to the person who can name the single that this guy sang that everyone knows but few know who performed it.
[20:17] <cmaloney> (no Wikipedia)
[21:23]  * brousch wishes he could see cmaloney twitch as he reads my tablet recommendation for his wife
[21:27] <rick_h_> lol
[23:39] <cmaloney> brousch: Pay no attention to that whistling sound overhead.
