WTF Linux Wacom bullshit
Apr. 7th, 2009 12:12 pmSo, WTF!? DX I have a Wacom Graphire tablet that came with a driver disk, and I want to put it on my laptop. My laptop is one of those mini ones that's too small for a disc drive, so I found and downloaded the necessary driver for my operating system on the Wacom site. Unfortunately, this laptop uses Linux (though on the package it said Windows was available on it), which I didn't realize until now is PRACTICALLY LIKE USING A LAPTOP THAT FUNCTIONS IN GODDAMN CHINESE! WHAT THE FUCK!!?
I unzip the files and start going through them, and they're all text files. Apparently on Linux, you can't just click on a file to run it. You have to do all the coding for the process yourself? WHAT IS WRONG WITH THOSE GERMANS!? WHY DID THEY CREATE THIS HELLISH OPERATING SYSTEM!?!?!?!?! It's all like "OMG this doesn't work, but the explanation makes no sense!!" and "you have to do this and this, but we won't tell you how!" BITCH.
So, I go online and find a how to guide for installing the driver/making it work, and IT MAKES NO FREAKING SENSE. This handy guide is basically like "take the 948ddkjghhg file and ekjhtjkhjkm566 it 700 times, then cut down a tree with a herring, insert random word I swear we didn't make up, then divide it by six and jump and down three times". I don't know what any of this means! DX DX DX DX DX DX DX WHAT THE HELL! It tells what to do with each file, and if I wasn't Linux-retarded I might understand SOME of it. But I don't. Here is part of the ACTUAL instructions, word for word: "src/2.6.x/wacom.c - replacement kernel driver for kernel 2.6.x where x can be 8 to 10". WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN!!?! I'm so confused!
So, if anyone knows anything about Linux, the guide is here:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Install_linuxwacom_driver
If possible, can someone please help me make sense of it? -_-;
I've just taken to reading Fruits Basket all day. It makes me depressed, but it calms me down. Granted, I want to stab Machi in the face, but I love it so ;_; I love you Akito, you androgynous he-she sexbot.And I love Kimi! And Yuki! And Tohru! And Momiji! And... Ayame and Ritsu and Hatori and Shigure and Rin and Kagura and Kakeru and Mine and Komaki and Haru and Kisa and Hiro and Kyoko and Katsuya and Uo and Hana and Kureno and Kazuma and Kunimitsu and Minigawa and Minami! And... I guess Kyo's okay.Meh. But... I love it. I'm on volume 19, and it makes me sad that there are only 4 left after this. I guess I'll just have to write fanfiction when I finish, and maybe watch the anime *sigh*
