[00:05] what's the check sum for: xubuntu-14.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso (can't find it on xubuntu's site)? [00:07] RoadRunner, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/14.04.3/release/ [00:17] hi hi.. need help setting up a legacy gamepad / gameport on Trusty.. [00:17] can't get /dev/input/js0 to appear.. =/ [00:20] please dont crosspost to multiple channels Legendre_ [00:21] knome: thank you :) [00:24] yowwzers [00:24] is there an app or a "universal driver"... under linux, to enable the usage of extra buttons in mice and trackballs? [00:39] RoadRunner, a kernel module if anything [00:43] bazhang: please explain? [00:44] are you saying that unless the linux kernel itself can't do it, the ship has sailed? [00:56] Need some help setting up legacy gamepad / gameport on Trusty.. anyone help? [00:57] anyone.. anyone.. [00:58] 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] patience, please. [00:59] Legendre, why are you still crossposting [00:59] that too. [00:59] bazhang: because I don't know who is or isn't in which channel/ [00:59] ? [00:59] pardoj me, I'll quiet down [01:00] RoadRunner, check the code for that device or tell us [01:01] RoadRunner, what game are you trying to use it with, details matter [01:10] so.. is there no longer a js / joystick module? [01:11] or is it simply not shipped as built with xubuntu kernel? [01:13] 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? [01:15] 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 [01:16] goal here, is to get one or two '5 button' sticks running, so I can play C64 / Atari / Sega emu [01:16] thats on the manufacturer not linux [01:17] bazhang: the board / SB chip? Yes, it certainly would be! =) [01:17] any device at all [01:17] but the way to discover the issue might be on the OS side. [01:17] sure [01:17] bazhang: oh I know.. the USB to 2-Stick adapters are screwed.. they don't meet the HID specs correctly. [01:18] I've had great joypad support on certain games / emulators [01:18] as have I, in the +past+.. but that was in the Slack days. [01:18] long, long ago.. 10+ yrs at this time [01:19] this is wine/dosbox and others and just in the last couple of weeks [01:19] what kind of gamepad are you using? USB? [01:19] yeppers [01:19] in this case, I'd like to get my legacy GP pad running.. as it did for a long time, in years past. [01:20] as I'm broke and it's all I have.. =/ [01:20] but if you can suggest a decent USB pad that will do 5-button type mode, I'm all ears.. [01:21] well make some concessions til the finances improve and stick to some of the ultra reliable uses/games/emus [01:21] not sure I get you.. my emu is very reliable.. X64 [01:21] just that I'd like some kind of controller that isn't KB.. so clumsy. [01:22] I just buy the cheapest under 10 buck one and configure it [01:22] send me an ebay item.. [01:22] (item number, I mean.. as an example that works under Truty) [01:22] I doubt ebay would carry something that cheap [01:23] I find that statement very funny.. but OK! =) [01:24] heck, if I can get a working USB game-whatever, I'll just stick a DB9M on the side ;-) [01:24] and plug in my Wico stick [01:25] 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 [01:27] one prob for me is too many vars.. FOIK, the gamepad is defective.. =/ [01:27] worked fine years ago, doesn't mean something didn't go awry. [01:27] but when I jack-in, dmesg is mute [01:28] cheap items wear out sometimes [01:28] not much other on topic help I can offer, apologies [01:28] oh sure, the world is an imperfect place.. but this is an orig. Gravis PC game pad.. they were very well regarded. [01:29] 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] IOW, the one we all knew from when Gravis was on top.. [01:30] anyway, thanks for your time.. and Merry Christmas! [02:39] hi guys I have a question. How do I instal virtual box guest additions onto a xubuntu 15.10 guest?

Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba " /join #ubuntu-es " (sin comillas) y presione intro. [22:03] gracias
