[01:27:17] <A-L-P-H-A> anyone know why I would have two hda1 mount points?
http://pastebin.ca/166572
[01:32:02] <Tsingi> /media/hda1 is a directory I imagine.
[01:32:16] <Tsingi> /dev/da1 is the volume
[01:32:21] <Tsingi> hda1
[01:37:42] <A-L-P-H-A> yeah, it's the UUID=55c... that's hda1
[01:37:46] <A-L-P-H-A> oops
[01:37:47] <A-L-P-H-A> no.
[01:37:55] <A-L-P-H-A> it's the ntfs drive that's listed twice
[01:53:18] <Tsingi> hda1 is the ntfs drive.
[01:53:59] <Tsingi> It looks like the only problem you have is using a common device name for a directory and mount point. bound to be confusing.

[14:39:52] <CIA-8> 03jepler 07HEAD * 10emc2/src/module_helper/ (Submakefile module_helper.c): use config.h instead of Makefile.inc to get module directory and extension
[14:40:33] <jepler> it's better to depend on config.h because that dependency is worked out automatically. When using -D that come from Makefile.inc, the dependency has to be mentioned in the Submakefile
[14:40:48] <jepler> also, config.h gets treated specially when configure is re-run: if it didn't change, the timestamp isn't changed. so less stuff recompiles.

[17:20:36] <dave1> gaim keeps playing games.... pops up signon windows
[17:21:28] <dave1> anyway before this thing dumps me.... I need to figure out how to invert a parport pin
[17:31:17] <alex_joni> dave1: set parport.0.pin-12-out-invert 1
[17:34:17] <alex_joni> or any other number that you want to invert
[17:34:26] <alex_joni> set parport.0.pin-02-out-invert 1
[17:34:29] <alex_joni> set parport.0.pin-03-out-invert 1
[17:34:30] <alex_joni> etc
[17:35:46] <etla55> alex: any ideas on how to force ubuntu into 1280x1024 ?
[17:35:53] <alex_joni> hi etla55
[17:35:56] <alex_joni> did you reboot?
[17:36:03] <alex_joni> I mean, this is the installed system?
[17:36:06] <etla55> yep, this is from HD
[17:36:18] <alex_joni> ok, probably you're missing a mode-line for your monitor
[17:36:23] <etla55> but only one boot if that makes a difference
[17:36:27] <alex_joni> what kind of monitor do you have ?
[17:36:38] <alex_joni> lcd, vga ?
[17:36:41] <alex_joni> type, model?
[17:36:43] <etla55> now I'm painfully slowly downloading the 147 updates ubuntu suggests I need
[17:36:54] <etla55> ït's a 19" viewsonic tft
[17:37:07] <etla55> but I'm using a vga cable, not dvi
[17:37:57] <alex_joni> what frequency does it take?
[17:38:00] <alex_joni> 75Hz ?
[17:38:10] <etla55> probably, haven't checked
[17:38:15] <etla55> I think it runs at 60 now
[17:38:31] <etla55> yep, 60 now
[17:39:26] <alex_joni> I mean, does it run at 1280x1024@75Hz ? or is that too much?
[17:39:51] <etla55> hmmm, let me grab the manual that came with the lcd
[17:40:05] <alex_joni> here's something till then:
[17:40:07] <alex_joni> # 1280x1024 @ 60Hz (VESA) hsync: 64.0kHz
[17:40:07] <alex_joni> ModeLine "1280x1024" 108.0 1280 1328 1440 1688 1024 1025 1028 1066 +hsync +vsync
[17:40:07] <alex_joni> # 1280x1024 @ 75Hz (VESA) hsync: 80.0kHz
[17:40:07] <alex_joni> ModeLine "1280x1024" 135.0 1280 1296 1440 1688 1024 1025 1028 1066 +hsync +vsync
[17:40:45] <alex_joni> those 2(4) lines need to go to the Monitor section in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[17:41:15] <alex_joni> also make sure HorizSync and VertRefresh have big enough numbers to allow those resolutions
[17:41:28] <etla55> thanks. I'm 1/3 through the updates, will try that then
[17:41:41] <etla55> let's see what my current xorg.conf looks like...
[17:42:01] <alex_joni> etla55: there's a software called xvidtune
[17:42:16] <alex_joni> once you set a certain resolution, you can use that software to tweak the modeline
[17:42:18] <etla55> ok, is that easier ?
[17:42:31] <alex_joni> you need something to start from, then use xvidtune for finetuning
[17:42:43] <etla55> is that in the standard ubuntu install
[17:42:43] <alex_joni> or use the auto-calibration on the TFT
[17:42:51] <alex_joni> I think you can apt-get it
[17:43:07] <etla55> right. but it needs to work with winxp too (CAM programs...)
[17:43:27] <alex_joni> the screen usually is smart enough to do both
[17:43:43] <alex_joni> it's very unlikely that you'll ever find the exact same resolution & timings
[17:44:03] <alex_joni> if they are only a bit different, the screen will remember them as 2 sets of parameters
[17:44:21] <alex_joni> exact same resolution & timings for Ubuntu and XP I mean
[17:45:02] <etla55> by xorg.conf lists the graphics card as recognized as a NVIDIA NV44, but the monitor is "generic monitor"
[17:45:23] <etla55> my
[17:45:36] <alex_joni> etla55: probably the problem is with the vert refresh
[17:45:45] <alex_joni> and horiz sync
[17:45:51] <etla55> HorizSync28-51
[17:45:52] <etla55> VertRefresh43-60
[17:46:07] <etla55> Option"DPMS"
[17:46:28] <alex_joni> kinda slow..
[17:46:40] <alex_joni> try increasing HorizSync
[17:46:52] <alex_joni> and VertRefresh if you think the monitor can handle it :)
[17:47:55] <alex_joni> if you wait a bit, I'll tell you my settings
[17:48:16] <etla55> I'll google for the specs, It's a viewsonic VA902
[17:48:35] <alex_joni> I have : HorizSync: 28-90
[17:48:40] <alex_joni> VertRefresh 43-120
[17:49:05] <alex_joni> this is an older monitor (1995), but it really can do 120Hz ;)
[17:49:12] <alex_joni> and goes up to 1600x1200
[17:49:32] <etla55> oh, another thing, there are no ModeLines in my xorg.conf ?
[17:50:32] <alex_joni> etla55: by default there are no modelines
[17:50:59] <alex_joni> and the driver takes care of interrogating the card & monitor and see if it can find a proper resolution / refresh rate
[17:52:01] <etla55> damn. need to be su to edit xorg.conf...
[17:52:09] <alex_joni> but sometimes that fails, and you can add a custom modeline ;)
[17:52:15] <alex_joni> indeed.. or use sudo gedit...
[17:52:29] <alex_joni> try without the modelines first
[17:52:32] <etla55> why is there no mouse shortcut for that ? :)
[17:52:39] <alex_joni> etla55: guess why..
[17:52:41] <alex_joni> :)
[17:53:32] <dave1> alex_joni thanks... I'll give it a try....
[17:54:01] <alex_joni> HorizSync 31.5-67
[17:54:02] <alex_joni> VertRefresh 50-75
[17:54:02] <etla55> ok, so is there a clean way to restart X in ubuntu, or is it best to reboot the whole thing ?
[17:54:12] <alex_joni> etla55: Ctrl-Alt-Backspace
[17:54:17] <alex_joni> it will kill all X and restart
[17:54:36] <etla55> will the apps stay alive ? like this gaim ?
[17:54:42] <alex_joni> etla55: no
[17:54:46] <alex_joni> everything will be killed
[17:55:01] <alex_joni> best you do that after the update finished :)
[17:55:18] <alex_joni> also.. it is possible that X can't restart (if you borked something in xorg.conf)
[17:55:24] <etla55> ok, so see you in a few minutes...
[17:59:08] <etla55> back
[17:59:18] <alex_joni> better?
[17:59:20] <etla55> now I'm in 1280x1024 yehoo
[17:59:26] <alex_joni> coo :)
[17:59:35] <alex_joni> wasn't that hard.. was it?
[17:59:56] <etla55> naah
[18:00:25] <etla55> but the ubuntu installer could maybe ask the user about what monitor he has if it does not autorecognize it
[18:00:36] <alex_joni> etla55: right
[18:00:55] <etla55> now it's emc2-install.sh
[18:03:37] <etla55> alex: are all the basic HAL blocks now being rewritten with the new "blocks" syntax ?
[18:03:45] <etla55> or is it only new user-contributed stuff ?
[18:04:07] <etla55> even I can understand the .blocks files B)
[18:04:58] <alex_joni> etla55: probably most of the stuff will get replaced
[18:05:07] <alex_joni> but not in the near future

[18:10:35] <alex_joni> nice..
[18:10:39] <alex_joni> I have a mill now too
[18:10:45] <alex_joni> not quite functional, but getting there

[18:11:02] <etla55> oh, not only the string-tripod anymore
[18:11:48] <alex_joni> etla55: that one has been catching dust for the last year
[18:12:25] <etla55> ok, now I saw the pics. a bit small, but light cuts in wood, plastic and alu should be fine
[18:14:04] <alex_joni> yeah, not quite sure what I want to do with it :)
[18:15:14] <alex_joni> was thinking about putting a probe on it, and using it for scanning
[18:15:25] <etla55> I think you want to develop rigid tapping ;)
[18:15:47] <alex_joni> maybe if I had a spindle I would think about it :)
