OvenWerksEickmeyer[m]: sorry about the upload and build, I needed to be able to install on my son's computer to test it out...00:57
Eickmeyer[m]OvenWerks: No worries.00:57
OvenWerksEickmeyer[m] @azbulutlu: working on tablet stuff for -controls. Want to check my thinking... or lack there of  ;)01:20
OvenWerksRight now I populate the gui from what the tablet is now arther than what the config file says.01:21
OvenWerksMy thinking is that, everything working right, the device should be the same as the config file anyway.01:22
OvenWerksThat is it should have been set at session start.01:22
Eickmeyer[m]OvenWerks: I don't really have a wacom tablet to check it against, so we'd have to leave that to @azbulutlu.01:32
OvenWerksEickmeyer[m]: yes she has more than one. That makes her a good person to ask.01:32
OvenWerksI have one (well my son does)01:32
OvenWerksSo everything I can test is based on that.01:33
OvenWerksI also have the idea that someone with more than one would probably like all of them to get set at boot and not just one.01:33
OvenWerksOr they would like whichever one is connected to get set... it may be that because of a different arangement of buttons they would want different setting for each tablet01:35
OvenWerksAll of this means saving values for all the possible tablets a user owns and checking at session start which ones are actually plugged in and set all of those.01:36
studiobot<azbulutlu> I think it needs to happen when tablet is connected?06:20
studiobot<azbulutlu> it is a good idea to check if there is a tablet on session start but people will plug in and out tablets all the time. and it is not uncommon to have multiple06:21
studiobot<azbulutlu> think usb microphones as anology06:22
studiobot<azbulutlu> ovenwerks06:22
studiobot<azbulutlu> I do need to run but I'll type more later today06:22

OvenWerks@azbulutlu: So that means we need to keep a data base of drawing surfaces the user owns, if they are plugged in or not... I think.16:45
OvenWerks@azbulutlu: this is not like usb audio at all maybe.16:45
OvenWerksThe buttons on pads, are they always arranged the same way?16:46
OvenWerks@azbulutlu: wrong question... would button 1 always need to be set the same way for the same application even on different pads?16:46
OvenWerks@azbulutlu: would I be able to just hit each pad as plugged in with the same configuration?16:48
OvenWerksEickmeyer[m]: we may have a problem -controls if not run by the installing user. 16:53
OvenWerksEickmeyer[m]: nope scratch that, it's fine17:00
Eickmeyer[m]OvenWerks: I was about to say that doesn't make sense, but if we're OK then we're OK. :D17:00
OvenWerks@azbulutlu: I know, talking to myself... but farther thought would indicate that much of my work to display the device was wasted :P17:01
OvenWerks@azbulutlu: The device doesn't matter so long as I can get a list of devices for setting up and detect as they are plugged in.17:02
OvenWerksEickmeyer[m]: next problem... maybe is that I may need to compare any usb device that gets plugged in against a known list of tablets.17:05
Eickmeyer[m]OvenWerks: Perhaps, but that's going to be a gigantic list, and might be overkill.17:06
OvenWerksEickmeyer[m]: it is strange, lsusb on our tablet jsut shows a serial number no description, but dmesg does show pad and stylus17:16
Eickmeyer[m]OvenWerks: Gotta love inconsistency. /s17:17
* OvenWerks wonders if there is a command to xorg that makes it reread a config file17:23
studiobot<teward001> `sudo shutdown -r now `*shot*17:54
studiobot<teward001> :P17:54
Eickmeyer[m]@teward001 You may proceed to alt-F4.18:17
