| RoadRunner | what's the check sum for: xubuntu-14.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso (can't find it on xubuntu's site)? | 00:05 |

| Legendre_ | hi hi.. need help setting up a legacy gamepad / gameport on Trusty.. | 00:17 |
| Legendre_ | can't get /dev/input/js0 to appear.. =/ | 00:17 |
| bazhang | please dont crosspost to multiple channels Legendre_ | 00:20 |
| RoadRunner | knome: thank you :) | 00:21 |
| JetLI | yowwzers | 00:24 |
| RoadRunner | is there an app or a "universal driver"... under linux, to enable the usage of extra buttons in mice and trackballs? | 00:24 |
| bazhang | RoadRunner, a kernel module if anything | 00:39 |
| RoadRunner | bazhang: please explain? | 00:43 |
| RoadRunner | are you saying that unless the linux kernel itself can't do it, the ship has sailed? | 00:44 |
| Legendre | Need some help setting up legacy gamepad / gameport on Trusty.. anyone help? | 00:56 |
| Legendre | anyone.. anyone.. | 00:57 |
| knome | you have asked this only some time ago, now ask it again and after a minute, impatiently asking whether anybody is around to answer your question - on the christmas day | 00:58 |
| knome | patience, please. | 00:58 |
| bazhang | Legendre, why are you still crossposting | 00:59 |
| knome | that too. | 00:59 |
| Legendre | bazhang: because I don't know who is or isn't in which channel/ | 00:59 |
| Legendre | ? | 00:59 |
| Legendre | pardoj me, I'll quiet down | 00:59 |
| bazhang | RoadRunner, check the code for that device or tell us | 01:00 |
| bazhang | RoadRunner, what game are you trying to use it with, details matter | 01:01 |
| Legendre | so.. is there no longer a js / joystick module? | 01:10 |
| Legendre | or is it simply not shipped as built with xubuntu kernel? | 01:11 |
| Legendre | I've also heard that some (boards / SB chips?) don't pass the gameport data to the bus any more.. but how the heck would one ever discover that? | 01:13 |
| Legendre | and to make matters worse, the USB versions of this device are either not or poorly supported in recent Linux.. ie any of the Retrobit sticks / stapters | 01:15 |
| Legendre | goal here, is to get one or two '5 button' sticks running, so I can play C64 / Atari / Sega emu | 01:16 |
| bazhang | thats on the manufacturer not linux | 01:16 |
| Legendre | bazhang: the board / SB chip? Yes, it certainly would be! =) | 01:17 |
| bazhang | any device at all | 01:17 |
| Legendre | but the way to discover the issue might be on the OS side. | 01:17 |
| bazhang | sure | 01:17 |
| Legendre | bazhang: oh I know.. the USB to 2-Stick adapters are screwed.. they don't meet the HID specs correctly. | 01:17 |
| bazhang | I've had great joypad support on certain games / emulators | 01:18 |
| Legendre | as have I, in the +past+.. but that was in the Slack days. | 01:18 |
| Legendre | long, long ago.. 10+ yrs at this time | 01:18 |
| bazhang | this is wine/dosbox and others and just in the last couple of weeks | 01:19 |
| Legendre | what kind of gamepad are you using? USB? | 01:19 |
| bazhang | yeppers | 01:19 |
| Legendre | in this case, I'd like to get my legacy GP pad running.. as it did for a long time, in years past. | 01:19 |
| Legendre | as I'm broke and it's all I have.. =/ | 01:20 |
| Legendre | but if you can suggest a decent USB pad that will do 5-button type mode, I'm all ears.. | 01:20 |
| bazhang | well make some concessions til the finances improve and stick to some of the ultra reliable uses/games/emus | 01:21 |
| Legendre | not sure I get you.. my emu is very reliable.. X64 | 01:21 |
| Legendre | just that I'd like some kind of controller that isn't KB.. so clumsy. | 01:21 |
| bazhang | I just buy the cheapest under 10 buck one and configure it | 01:22 |
| Legendre | send me an ebay item.. | 01:22 |
| Legendre | (item number, I mean.. as an example that works under Truty) | 01:22 |
| bazhang | I doubt ebay would carry something that cheap | 01:22 |
| Legendre | I find that statement very funny.. but OK! =) | 01:23 |
| Legendre | heck, if I can get a working USB game-whatever, I'll just stick a DB9M on the side ;-) | 01:24 |
| Legendre | and plug in my Wico stick | 01:24 |
| RoadRunner | bazhang: my device is an older Windows trackball and I am not trying to use it with a particular game; I am just used to using "accessory" buttons instead of the main ones | 01:25 |
| Legendre | one prob for me is too many vars.. FOIK, the gamepad is defective.. =/ | 01:27 |
| Legendre | worked fine years ago, doesn't mean something didn't go awry. | 01:27 |
| Legendre | but when I jack-in, dmesg is mute | 01:27 |
| bazhang | cheap items wear out sometimes | 01:28 |
| bazhang | not much other on topic help I can offer, apologies | 01:28 |
| Legendre | oh sure, the world is an imperfect place.. but this is an orig. Gravis PC game pad.. they were very well regarded. | 01:28 |
| Legendre | the type with a purple D-pad, screw-in stick and R/G/B/Y buttons, and two switvches to select button mode or LH / RH mode | 01:29 |
| Legendre | IOW, the one we all knew from when Gravis was on top.. | 01:29 |
| Legendre | anyway, thanks for your time.. and Merry Christmas! | 01:30 |

| xangua | Lots of guides for that | 20:46 |
| xubuntu996 | hablan español? | 22:02 |
| xubuntu996 | buenas tardes | 22:02 |
| bazhang | !es | 22:03 |
| ubottu | En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba " /join #ubuntu-es " (sin comillas) y presione intro. | 22:03 |
| xubuntu996 | gracias | 22:03 |
