01:53.03herloaaannd... We're back!
02:32.22undertakingyoumindjuju: ping
02:32.43mindjujupong
02:33.04mindjujuanybody know what line 51 means on this page?
02:33.06mindjujuhttp://pastebin.ca/1535434
02:33.42herlosure, run 'make load' on the command line
02:33.56undertakingyouthen the computer poops
02:34.01undertakingyou:)
02:34.14herlolol
02:34.15undertakingyouok, I needed the comic relief.
02:34.46undertakingyoumindjuju: Had a talk with a marketing guy at SLCC today. He has some good ideas I'd love to run past you.
02:35.04undertakingyoupass his ideas past you.
02:35.15undertakingyouPass on info to you . . . . I don't know how to say that but yeah.
02:35.55mindjujulooks at the ideas as the go whizzing by
02:36.02mindjujucool
02:36.05undertakingyouoh, yeah, there they went.
02:36.21mindjujuso, what were they
02:36.38mindjujuby the way, that make load seems to xploded my comuter
02:36.41mindjuju:(
02:38.04herlomindjuju: make is a command that runs the 'Makefile' in that directory.  load is a 'target' inside the Makefile and it has actions to complete.  Not sure how you got to 'make load' but it seems to me that this driver would be available in the repos...
02:38.35mindjujureally?
02:38.41undertakingyouSo mindjuju, the marketing guy said that if we want to get business involvement then we need to talk to the local chamber of commerces.
02:38.46herlowell, did you search for it yet?
02:38.46undertakingyouAnd he gave me some names.
02:38.48mindjujucan i install a driver using aptitude?
02:38.55mindjujui thought aptitude was just for apps
02:39.11herloit has drivers, apps, you name it
02:39.15fizzyou can install video drivers from aptitude.
02:39.16fizzso yeah
02:39.19mindjujuk, 'll search real quick
02:39.21herlothat's assuming someone as built that
02:39.23undertakingyouSaid that if we offer something of a discount for their members they will publish it in their news letters and announce it in their meeting.
02:39.34fizzbuilt it AND it has been put in the repo
02:39.35undertakingyouAnd that is business people there.
02:39.56herlowow, that's a first for the chambers :)  We tried that in 2007, with a big flop.  I'm glad there's some discussion there...
02:41.33undertakingyouYeah, Trevor and I met with Robert Baird and he brought in a marketing guy.
02:41.37undertakingyouSo we talked about it.
02:41.47undertakingyouHe also had some good suggestions about a billboard.
02:43.03undertakingyouMr Baird is . . . interesting. He was nice, and happy to meet us. But not as enthused as the marketing guy.
02:43.09undertakingyouOf course, that is their job.
02:44.44mindjujuso about aptitude, it didn't have the driver
02:44.46mindjuju:(
02:44.56undertakingyouSo mindjuju, should I email you the names of the people that he gave me? Or should I do that legwork and just tell you what I need?
02:45.06undertakingyoumindjuju: what is the driver for again?
02:45.06mindjujuthat would be awesome to email that over
02:45.20mindjujuit's for a frame grabber that I use to record UPHPU meetings
02:45.27mindjujui'm trying to take the whole operation open source
02:45.56undertakingyoumindjuju: that is good. THat is what jesus would do.
02:46.09mindjujuthat's something heartsbane would say
02:46.19herlomindjuju: is this similar to what the other doc had you do? http://code.epresence.tv/wiki/LinuxCaptureInstall
02:46.32Heartsbanegoes afk.
02:46.52herlosure he does
02:47.16mindjujuherlo, yeah
02:47.22mindjujubut now i'm wondering if i got the right download
02:47.25herlomindjuju: k, thought I'd try...
02:47.30mindjujui opted for the one that said ubuntu in it
02:47.34mindjujuand x86
02:47.45mindjujumaybe i should stick strickly to the kernel version?
02:48.06herloyeah, kernel version is *important*
02:49.49herlodid anyone go to SLLUG?  I didn't get up there...
02:57.12*** join/#utos tristanbob (n=tristanb@ubuntu/member/tristanbob)
02:59.24undertakingyoumindjuju: email sent to you.
03:00.39mindjujuk
03:04.25mindjujuhow do i know if i driver i made is loaded?
03:06.10herlolsmod | grep module
03:06.17herlomodule being the name of the module
03:06.22mindjujuoh, thats what ismod is
03:06.23herlomindjuju: ^^
03:06.27mindjujuk
03:06.30herloinsmod??
03:06.35herlothat's old
03:06.42herlouse modprobe <module>
03:08.14mindjujucurious, i did the make load with the kernel version that bested matched, it made it without error, but it doesn't work and it doesn't appear in modprobe
03:08.26mindjujubut when it built, it said something about ismod
03:08.32mindjujulike /sbin/ismod
03:08.44herloismod is not a command
03:08.50herloit's probably insmod
03:09.02mindjujuhmmm
03:09.03herlomodprobe loads and unloads modules
03:09.10herloinsmod is the old way to load modules
03:09.18herlormmod is old way to unload modules
03:09.22herlolsmod lists modules
03:09.26mindjujuso i think it created something, but i don't see anything in the folder that the pieces were in
03:09.27herlothus, why I said
03:09.35herlolsmod | grep <module>
03:09.39herloto see if it was loaded
03:09.55herloyou can do modinfo <module> too
03:10.36mindjujucuriously it says command not found
03:10.41mindjujui tried it with sudo
03:10.43mindjujutoo
03:10.44herlomodinfo??
03:10.52herlohmm
03:11.03herlohttp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/linuxcommand.org/man_pages/modinfo8.html
03:11.14herlois lsmod there?
03:12.26mindjujunope
03:12.58mindjujumodinfo says vga2usb isn't there
03:13.00mindjujuhmmm...

03:52.51herlomindjuju: if lsmod isn't there try /sbin/lsmod
03:52.59herlosomethings not right with your box if it's missing
03:53.08herlomight just be that it's not installed
04:00.49eggyknap...or that you're running Windows.
04:02.06herlolol
04:02.07herloeggyknap: hi
04:02.46eggyknapHiya :)
04:03.38eggyknapSo I noticed your "excited for igniteslc" tweet, and I have to wonder -- I've heard almost universally rave reviews of Ignite events, but TBH, I just don't see how it's all that interesting.
04:05.27herlooh, you have to experience it to understand
04:05.29herloI'm not kidding either
04:05.43herlothis is my third event. I don't think I'll miss one if I can help it
04:05.57herloalbeit, preparing for an ignite talk is harder than most other talks...
04:07.04mindjujuso this time when I tried make load, i got this
04:07.05mindjujuhttp://www.pastebin.ca/1535946
04:07.12mindjujubut it still doesn't seem to work
04:07.17mindjujuwhat do ya'll make of it?
04:07.44eggyknapPerhaps I'm being tainted by my never-ending wish that conferences, LUG meetings, etc. be of a more technically profound nature.
04:08.03herlohehe, this is so *not* technically profound
04:08.13herlounless you consider powerpoint to be technically profound
04:08.38herlomindjuju: that's what you *get*?  It looks like you typed that all
04:08.46mindjujunope
04:08.51herloit might be giving you the commands to type
04:08.53mindjujui typed
04:08.54mindjujuvvilla@vlap2:~/Desktop/n2$ sudo make load
04:08.57herlotry those last three lines
04:09.06herlowith a sudo in front of it
04:09.16herlothe insmod could be replaced with
04:09.21herlomodprobe vga2usb
04:09.27herlobut otherwise, it's the same
04:24.46herlomindjuju: that work ??
