Jun 15 03:14:37 Evening guys. I am getting the 10061 error trying to connect the pre with the python command talk.py. Pre is in Developer mode. Firewall on my machine has been disabled.

Jun 15 03:18:47 any simple gui apps high on the request list besides a terminal (or anything that would require terminal interaction, since we haven't figured out mojo->terminal)? Jun 15 03:18:55 opie_: it's common on embedded devices Jun 15 03:18:57 opie_: most linux distros use it Jun 15 03:19:02 in some form Jun 15 03:19:08 especially rescue systems Jun 15 03:19:11 and the default for OpenEmbedded, which Palm used to build the linux rootfs Jun 15 03:19:13 yeah, embedded systems too Jun 15 03:19:24 a ultraBlack what is your DEST=?

Jun 15 03:21:48 ultraBlack, ok, wtf Jun 15 03:22:56 Hey.. I got the "Roam Only" mode enabled by modifying one file '/usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.phoneprefs/app/controllers/preflist-assistant.js' Jun 15 03:23:11 diff file is here : 'http://www.gadgettrail.com/pre/preflist-assistant.js.roam.patch' Jun 15 03:23:47 you sure about that? Jun 15 03:23:48 ultraBlack, replace your track.sh http://pastebin.com/d37b5354 Jun 15 03:23:57 ultraBlack, make sure you have DEST, and SECREt Jun 15 03:24:03 ultraBlack, resend the code Jun 15 03:24:03 I assume there is no way to protect our js files once a webos system has been rooted? ie, since there is no compiled js on the device, its going to be easy for commercial products to have their source taken? Jun 15 03:24:06 roam only mode is a almost definitely a modem setting Jun 15 03:24:19 i looks to me like rootfs is still mounted in read-write, can someone confirm that i should expect this with out a call to 'mount -o remout,ro /' before reboot? Jun 15 03:24:33 I'm sure.. Tested it Jun 15 03:25:09 datafirm: yes but that's not a bad thing for us or them really Jun 15 03:25:10 i have to replace all of them or just the first two? Jun 15 03:25:34 datafirm, it's all copyrighted Jun 15 03:25:35 The TelephonyInterfaceLayer for CDMA has roamonly as a parameter. It's just not setup as an option in the jr file. Jun 15 03:25:51 datafirm: guessing some of them will try obfusication which I think I have already heard of a app in the catalog using Jun 15 03:26:09 w5mw: how did you figure that out ? Jun 15 03:26:22 w5mw: also, how did you test it? Jun 15 03:26:43 guess whos back like a heart attack Jun 15 03:27:36 I listed out all the strings in the '/usr/bin/TelephonyInterfaceLayerCdma' binary. homeonly and roamonly we both there. Jun 15 03:28:08 ah Jun 15 03:28:09 neato Jun 15 03:28:16 I took a guess that it was only missing from the UI portion of the phone prefs. Tested it on my pre and it works with my patch. Jun 15 03:28:21 sargun: http://pastebin.com/d52e8b1b7 Jun 15 03:28:28 neato Jun 15 03:28:46 ultraBlack, Ah, don't put a Space after the = in DEST, and SECRET!!! Jun 15 03:29:02 sargun: ok Jun 15 03:29:09 trying the new script now. but I didn't have the spaces Jun 15 03:30:29 ultraBlack, resend yourself the code Jun 15 03:30:35 ok Jun 15 03:33:54 when you do a partial device reset, it does stuff to /var Jun 15 03:34:02 sargun, nothing still.

Jun 15 03:37:24 ultraBlack, no, try the cat again Jun 15 03:37:33 sargun: it doesn't work Jun 15 03:37:44 ultraBlack, uhm, is cron running? Jun 15 03:37:54 sargun: how do i check? Jun 15 03:38:06 ultraBlack, ls -l /home/scripts/track.sh Jun 15 03:38:11 ultraBlack, run that Jun 15 03:38:45 Can anybody explain to me why when I try to remove or comment out the div tag for twitter in universal search it breaks universal search?

Jun 15 03:40:40 is that on the wiki? Jun 15 03:40:43 ultraBlack, sure Jun 15 03:41:01 sargun: what do you think the actual problem is? Jun 15 03:41:04 Omg, $11 for 4 oz os salmon. This is some fucking awesome salmon.a Jun 15 03:41:18 LOL it better be Jun 15 03:41:24 Darjeeling Tea & Ginger Cured Smoked Salmon Jun 15 03:41:29 rwhitby, I have SFTP, SSH working. Should I start over to utilize the optware so i can stay current with any new apps that may come about from all of your guy's hardwork? Jun 15 03:41:31 nvm Sargun ... i AM in the chroot and didn't realize Jun 15 03:41:36 http://www.charlietrotters.com/store/food/product.asp?catID=4&productID=81 Jun 15 03:41:57 I read salmon.a and think, "I haven't heard of that library."

Jun 15 03:47:47 ii should set up a page where we all anonymously put in our salaries and see what it comes out to lol Jun 15 03:47:54 haha Jun 15 03:48:00 well, mine's 0 :) Jun 15 03:48:04 ....or, i could make an app for it. lol Jun 15 03:48:13 http://www.rwhitby.net Jun 15 03:48:27 EvanPro_: You should also have it include a section for how much of our employers time we've spent on it too. Jun 15 03:48:34 ripper, haha Jun 15 03:48:34 vandi: mine's not a "salary", but it's not high Jun 15 03:48:57 actually, that's not really true... Jun 15 03:49:05 i'm on stupid salary.. i hate it. Jun 15 03:49:17 I'm on a "Google pays me for the summer" Jun 15 03:49:27 I get paid what ever unemployment is.. Jun 15 03:49:37 google pays me about $1500 / month :) Jun 15 03:50:00 wow Jun 15 03:50:03 Yeah, around here the quickest way to get made salary is to work overtime a few hours. They'll get you off the time clock real quick. Jun 15 03:50:04 that's pretty good Jun 15 03:50:07 evan, from ads ? Jun 15 03:50:25 EvanPro_: me too, actually Jun 15 03:50:30 but only for 3 montsh Jun 15 03:50:34 months* Jun 15 03:50:44 So, anyone tried to remove twitter from universal search? Jun 15 03:50:54 ripper, yes Jun 15 03:50:58 It's wierd, whenever I remove that div from the html file it breaks. Jun 15 03:51:11 But I can remove other ones with no problem. Is there something special about twitter? Jun 15 03:51:23 I didn't have that problem Jun 15 03:51:48 I hate twitta Jun 15 03:51:52 Hmm, did you delete twitter from all three files? Jun 15 03:52:02 bpadalino, yes from ads. it was $2700/month but then my site went down for a while and it dropped like a rock.. hasn't climbed back up yet. Jun 15 03:52:08 it went out pretty smoothly, but I did also put something else in, so I'm unsure of whether your issue is you didn't pull out its div's correctly, or if they're checking for at least 4 search options Jun 15 03:52:12 sargun, nod Jun 15 03:52:36 ah Jun 15 03:52:39 ripper, I commented it out in all the other files except the divs, the div's wouldn't comment out for some reason, so I just said f' it and deleted Jun 15 03:52:45 Well, I added another one at the same time, so there were 4. Jun 15 03:53:08 sargun, me too... my damn girlfriend tells twitter more about her day than she tells me.. and she only has two people "following" her... *sgh* Jun 15 03:53:17 I'd relook over your divs, make sure each one that opens has a closing one, sounds like you're having an issue with that then. Jun 15 03:53:18 EvanPro_: so follow her? Jun 15 03:53:21 == Jun 15 03:53:40 summatusmentis: but... i hate twitter. lol Jun 15 03:53:53 just call her a twat Jun 15 03:53:58 and get it over with ;) Jun 15 03:54:02 EvanPro_, what's her account name Jun 15 03:54:03 psykoz: hahahahaha Jun 15 03:54:15 EvanPro_: I've become addicted Jun 15 03:54:32 thankfully my gf knows how to SSH/screen irssi to tell people about her day ;) Jun 15 03:54:53 Okay, there's more references to twitter in the global-search-assistant.js file than are mentioned in the wiki. Did you comment out any of those? Jun 15 03:55:00 psykoz: is your girlfriend the pre? Jun 15 03:55:18 evanpro_, nope, and trust me there are girls out there who understand how to use terminal! :) Jun 15 03:55:32 brikus: OK.. its a good and bad thing. Jun 15 03:56:07 good thing for devs, but may scare some people away from building apps as it could expose secret APIs, algorithms etc. :-/ Jun 15 04:00:12 why do people insist on trolling youtube comment sections? Jun 15 04:00:15 Sorry to interupt, but I have SFTP, SSH working from the older way with out sudo. Should I start over to utilize the optware so i can stay current with any new apps that may come about from all of your guy's hardwork? Jun 15 04:00:23 Sargun: you may want to add a grep "\"errorCode\":0," Jun 15 04:00:34 From her twitter: "Got my new phone!!! I love my boyfriend. 12:17 PM Jun 6th from txt "... That tweet cost me $549.00.

Jun 15 04:03:22 she just likes me not touching her stuff, don't blame her ;) I hacked up the iPod touch we have and it didn't jive well with her at first, but when she tried out the terminal app and could irssi on the go she lightened up a bit Jun 15 04:03:38 she is on irc ? Jun 15 04:03:48 not on freenode, no Jun 15 04:03:54 EvanPro_, I'll root her pre. Jun 15 04:03:59 we're efnetters Jun 15 04:04:04 Sargun, that sounds dirty. Jun 15 04:04:09 EvanPro_, I know.

Jun 15 04:37:27 lost. Jun 15 04:37:32 I was grepping a bit to see if there was an easy way to pass system commands through the js Jun 15 04:37:46 Ok, I have added rotation support to the PDFViewer Jun 15 04:37:55 jblebrun: cool :) Jun 15 04:38:00 sweet Jun 15 04:38:03 finally heh Jun 15 04:38:05 what did you have to do Jun 15 04:38:14 u copy and paste the other jazz over? Jun 15 04:38:32 i havent toor'd yet Jun 15 04:38:44 Apparently 90 degree turns trigger a call the orientationChanged function of a controller Jun 15 04:38:59 are there any solutions for launching directfb apps from the webOS GUI yet? Jun 15 04:39:08 yeah Jun 15 04:39:26 examancer: not sure, I thought all directfb apps were in a debian chroot Jun 15 04:39:42 What does the tracking script on the wiki do? Jun 15 04:40:00 yeah. is there a way to kick off the chroot and a directfb app sans ssh? Jun 15 04:40:11 i'm guessing there isn't, but thought i would ask Jun 15 04:40:13 Is Sargun the wiki owner? Jun 15 04:40:27 examancer: there could be, if there was a way to pass native commands through nova Jun 15 04:40:30 dont ask Jun 15 04:40:30 jblebrun: nope Jun 15 04:41:11 oc80z: ? Jun 15 04:41:20 jblebrun, not at all Jun 15 04:41:29 guess that could be a useful thing to tackle. i wonder how the youtube app is accessing gstreamer... Jun 15 04:41:30 jblebrun, why would you think that Jun 15 04:41:31 lulz Jun 15 04:42:23 Repost: What does the tracking script on the wiki do? Jun 15 04:42:53 It tracks the pre, if it gets lost Jun 15 04:43:11 That's the super happy awesome tracker script! Jun 15 04:43:11 How? Does it send the data to my email? Jun 15 04:43:20 Sargun: Because I didn't get past "Contributors" under "Contact" ;-) Jun 15 04:43:22 now I see Jun 15 04:43:38 JohnPro: are you reading the page? Jun 15 04:43:45 Ye Jun 15 04:43:46 s Jun 15 04:43:52 JohnPro, yeah Jun 15 04:43:56 DEST=put your e-mail address here Jun 15 04:44:07 oh okay Jun 15 04:44:16 and how accurate is it Jun 15 04:44:25 Was there something difficult preventing you from having it send the location to whatever email address sent the request? Jun 15 04:45:24 ripper: I don't think Sprint sets your email as the from in the msg Jun 15 04:45:33 i love palm's attitude towards the Pre's hacking community. i hope they're rewarded with massive developer support, lots of killer apps, and lots of users. Jun 15 04:45:37 hold on, I can test this Jun 15 04:48:17 it sets 6245 as the from, but it includes the email as the first part of the msg so it should be parsable Jun 15 04:48:43 brikus: it's a random 4 digit # Jun 15 04:48:58 ah Jun 15 04:53:15 is there a js library that webos is using that I can study.. or are we able to use our own? Jun 15 04:53:27 both Jun 15 04:53:37 mojo.js and you can import whatever js you want Jun 15 04:53:56 bpadalino: I have the webos image.. but I could not find these files.. do you know where they are on theima ge? Jun 15 04:53:59 examancer, hey, it's taking a while Jun 15 04:54:02 the image Jun 15 04:54:04 how do I transfer files (like ROMs) into the chroot? Jun 15 04:54:15 yeah, you need to untar the filesystem Jun 15 04:54:24 examancer, scp. cat... Jun 15 04:54:25 could someone explain to me what it means to chroot into the pre. I have enabled root, enabled optware, and now in terminal (OSX) it' saying apt-get is not a command Jun 15 04:54:26 bpadalino: Ive untarred a lot.. haa Jun 15 04:54:26 then you can look under /usr/palm/frameworks i think ? Jun 15 04:54:28 let me check Jun 15 04:54:43 Sargun: k. i'll do the scp route :-) Jun 15 04:54:48 yeah Jun 15 04:54:51 sounds right, I was poking around in their earlier Jun 15 04:54:54 /usr/palm/frameworks/mojo Jun 15 04:55:28 wait, so if you can import your own .js, we can just write something to pass commands to the command line Jun 15 04:55:35 everfine: apt-get is a command available if you're running Debian or a Debian-based linux like Ubuntu Jun 15 04:55:48 no,because js doesn't know anything about a commandline Jun 15 04:55:50 bpadalino: thanks Jun 15 04:55:56 jblebrun: is there any way to chroot on mac? Jun 15 04:56:11 everfine: you have to install debian onto the Pre Jun 15 04:56:12 anyone know if we'll be able to run sctips from applications? Jun 15 04:56:15 ruby, php, etc? Jun 15 04:56:17 there is a wiki page for doing that Jun 15 04:56:31 examancer: can you direct me to it? Jun 15 04:56:37 everfine: you install it in a chroot so its in a sandbox Jun 15 04:56:42 bpadalino: nothing at all? Jun 15 04:56:45 that's unfortunate Jun 15 04:56:47 http://predev.wikidot.com/debian Jun 15 04:57:40 examancer: what if i only have mac osx right now. this seems like you need linux which is not on this computer. Jun 15 04:58:00 oh. to resize the filesystem you do Jun 15 04:58:17 thats the only step that requires a linux machine, fore resize2fs Jun 15 04:58:31 everfine: os x is the best os to have for hacking the pre Jun 15 04:58:37 install the Novacom driver from the jar Jun 15 04:58:43 navigate to /opt/nova/bin and have fun Jun 15 04:58:45 bpadalino: i did Jun 15 04:58:53 i've rooted and installed optware Jun 15 04:58:57 bpadalino: he's at the debian install step Jun 15 04:59:02 yes. Jun 15 04:59:07 oh ok Jun 15 04:59:25 is there an xml parser in the mojo framework? Jun 15 04:59:30 bpadalino: what about http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/shell.html ? could we take that code? Jun 15 04:59:35 i would imagine there is something that could accomplish what resize2fs does in linux on OSX, but don't know what that would be Jun 15 04:59:43 it's still not "nova-fied" exactly Jun 15 05:00:09 summatusmentis: it's just a javascript shell Jun 15 05:00:10 so sure ? Jun 15 05:00:17 everfine: you can just use a livecd, pop it in, resize the file, and then reboot back into OSX Jun 15 05:00:27 aye? Jun 15 05:00:37 ok, thanks. that's what i'm going to do. Jun 15 05:00:55 bpadalino: it's using some javascript interpreter to allow you to pass commands directly to cli Jun 15 05:01:24 once i resize the file, do i just run bunzip2 debsmall.img.bz2 etc... in terminal Jun 15 05:01:33 does webos take file:/// arguments ? Jun 15 05:02:30 can someone check the instructions for the Graphical Shell I think step 5 should be ./make_certificate.sh Jun 15 05:02:39 What is the most number of apps one can have running on his phone before he experiences a lag? Jun 15 05:02:57 1 Jun 15 05:03:00 bpadalino: usr/lib/luna/luna-media/private/StreamingPlayEngine.js looks like it Jun 15 05:03:17 anyone else have any input? Jun 15 05:03:26 sorry... Jun 15 05:04:00 i get an error saying "Cannot display local files" Jun 15 05:04:02 interesting Jun 15 05:04:38 examancer: do I even need to resize the image or is it just for convenience and space? Jun 15 05:04:50 And I know we cannot discuss how... but can anyone tell me if tether is "possible" yet? Jun 15 05:04:52 everfine: you WILL need extra space to install apps Jun 15 05:05:19 you won't make it through the directfb steps or any of the other steps for doom or nes if that is your goal Jun 15 05:05:52 ok thanks. i get it now. Jun 15 05:06:12 I've been trying the bypass activation (I assume this is appropriate since it is on the wiki). Everytime I flash the phone it goes to the palm logo and hangs there. Anyone had success with this? Jun 15 05:07:24 Which method are you using to bypass activation? Jun 15 05:07:53 Editing the app-assistant.js in com.palm.app.firstuse Jun 15 05:08:12 Is there more than one method? Jun 15 05:10:24 I'm off to bed, 'night all Jun 15 05:10:56 in the graphical shell steps in the create upstart script does it mean to just make the start on stopped finish Jun 15 05:10:56 stop on runlevel [!2] Jun 15 05:10:56 console none Jun 15 05:10:56 respawn Jun 15 05:10:56 exec /opt/bin/python /opt/share/webshell/webshell.py -c "/opt/bin/ssh -p 222 -l preuser localhost" --ssl-disable Jun 15 05:11:25 oops, didnt mean to do that Jun 15 05:11:37 but yeah that contents, just in that file? Jun 15 05:13:02 datafirm: DOMParser Jun 15 05:13:46 jblebrun: I could not find this in the mojo framework.. Jun 15 05:14:14 jblebrun: ahh.. its just part of standard js? Jun 15 05:14:25 yes Jun 15 05:14:35 well, sort of Jun 15 05:14:54 Most browsers have it built in as a host object Jun 15 05:15:46 So, it's part of webkit Jun 15 05:16:02 chrisa, can you tell who ever made the keyboard with a button for : and not putting it in the "Sym" section like on the 800w that I love them! Jun 15 05:19:44 Is tethering possible? Without saying how? Jun 15 05:19:56 yes - the device supports it Jun 15 05:22:06 i love how the music app doesn't skip at all even though i'm doing some pretty heavy compiling in the background Jun 15 05:22:32 i think it buffers quite a bit Jun 15 05:22:32 jblebrun: perfect.. Jun 15 05:22:43 when i'm on the subway, it keeps playing when i go under the city Jun 15 05:22:49 John: Yes. Jun 15 05:22:55 ls Jun 15 05:23:11 does webos have the ability to let an app run in the background and listen for system events? ie.. i want to listen for an sms event and then dispatch a new event? Jun 15 05:23:21 nebula: you're talking about pandora I'm guessing? I've noticed that too. i was referring to just the music/mp3 app Jun 15 05:23:29 examancer: ah Jun 15 05:23:42 good to know Jun 15 05:23:48 nebula, it buffers up a song Jun 15 05:23:59 yeah, pretty quick i might add Jun 15 05:24:02 nebula, they don't have cell phone repeaters in the subway Jun 15 05:24:15 not in this particular section Jun 15 05:24:58 ie. right under Boston Jun 15 05:25:11 downtown that is Jun 15 05:25:24 they just added roaming digital Jun 15 05:25:29 but no sprint Jun 15 05:25:33 i've always wondered why verizon works so well in on the metro and sprint does't when they're both cdma Jun 15 05:25:58 i think verizon lets sprint roam on their network under the city (boston) Jun 15 05:26:10 they don't in dc Jun 15 05:26:16 has anyone tried to mod the AmazonMP3 app to download songs over EVDO? if thats a TOS violation I'll stop talking about it but I don't think it is. Jun 15 05:26:29 atleast not when i lived there last yr Jun 15 05:26:40 you cant dl over evdo Jun 15 05:26:43 any mp3 Jun 15 05:26:53 only stream Jun 15 05:26:54 datafirm: I'm pretty sure, but I haven't figured it out yet. I think the email app might have an example. Jun 15 05:27:25 ckent: is that an OS level thing? if amazon can DL over wifi why couldn't it over EVDO? Jun 15 05:27:29 jblebrun: nice.. like listening for events from the photo app? Jun 15 05:27:53 or are you talking about the TOS? Jun 15 05:27:59 datafirm: Hmmm. In theory it should be possible, but I don't know if an API is exposed for that Jun 15 05:28:16 im not sure exactly..i guess sprint blocked it out. I dont think it violates TOS Jun 15 05:28:27 jblebrun: any idea if we're able to run cron tasks? Jun 15 05:28:41 datafirm: yes. check out the tracker app on the wiki Jun 15 05:28:41 i don't see how they could tell the different between streaming and downloading from the carrier's end Jun 15 05:29:00 seems odd sprint would block dl while allowing streaming, same amount of data either way. Jun 15 05:29:07 jblebrun: palm supported? Jun 15 05:29:12 exactly. should look the same really Jun 15 05:29:13 and as he said, they are the same thing. Jun 15 05:29:36 what is the file path of the main pre folder when you use as a USB drive (with wallpapers/ringers/etc..)? Jun 15 05:29:52 i can stream quicktime and certain other video formats. the bandwidth demands must be incredible compared to DL'ing MP3s Jun 15 05:29:53 Has anybody gotten this "mount: cannot setup loop device: No such file or directory" while following the debian install instructions? Jun 15 05:29:57 ./media/internal everfine Jun 15 05:29:59 datafirm: I don't know if it's palm supported. cron is installed on the device at purchase, though. Jun 15 05:30:40 datafirm, we can cron tasks, just gotta turn on cron Jun 15 05:30:47 Lurking_Grue: are you root? Jun 15 05:30:48 jblebrun: Yeah.. just wonder how apps install.. where they can place files and if the system is allowed to execute them Jun 15 05:31:00 dreadchicken: when i ls ./media/internal it shows no files. shouldnt it show the files i can see in the finder? Jun 15 05:31:14 Sargun: and can we turn cron on through an palm installed app? Jun 15 05:31:15 Nebula: Ok, i'm an idiot. *Grins* Jun 15 05:31:21 no no, it happens Jun 15 05:31:30 i just learned you can't type /media/internal in irc Jun 15 05:31:33 lol Jun 15 05:31:37 do ./ Jun 15 05:31:38 datafirm, uhm, what do you man Jun 15 05:31:44 damn tracker.. if you don't delete the sms message it continues spamming your email.. this how it's supposed to work? Jun 15 05:31:52 "installing" an app is easy... you just put an app directory in /var/palm/applications Jun 15 05:32:11 Sargun: i concepting an app, but need to know if its possible through "A Jun 15 05:32:19 "App Catalog" apps Jun 15 05:32:19 datafirm, it is Jun 15 05:32:24 ./: Permission denied Jun 15 05:32:24 Stik, you should 3 emails iirc. Jun 15 05:32:33 you have it in usb mode? Jun 15 05:32:39 yeah Jun 15 05:32:44 yes Jun 15 05:32:49 oops Jun 15 05:32:51 get out of that. Jun 15 05:33:06 If you are running the nintendo emulator and a call comes in what does the phone do? Jun 15 05:33:06 datafirm: A good starting point for me was copying an existing app into a new directory... like com.palm.app.myapp, and change appinfo.json to reflect the new app ID and name. Jun 15 05:33:07 * nebula -> bed Jun 15 05:33:10 yeah it sends 3 emails then 5 min later sends 3 more and continues till you delete the sms message Jun 15 05:33:15 i'm trying to get debsmall.img from the main USB finder window into ./media/internal Jun 15 05:33:16 vfat mounted rw in two places is asking for bad juju. Jun 15 05:33:25 or even wishing to. Jun 15 05:33:35 jblebrun: thanks for the tip Jun 15 05:35:24 protip! Jun 15 05:35:41 anyone know how to get debsmall.img into ./media/internal using terminal? Jun 15 05:35:45 anyone got sftp to work on os x? Jun 15 05:35:53 i wanna create sshfs mount Jun 15 05:36:13 everfine, just put it on the disk in usb mode? Jun 15 05:36:34 un-usb mode it and access from the pre itself. Jun 15 05:36:38 dreadchicken: i did. i drug it in the finder window but i need it in media/internal Jun 15 05:36:52 usb mode = /media/internal Jun 15 05:37:47 how have you guys been testing your apps, if you do not have an emulator? Jun 15 05:37:51 safari? Jun 15 05:37:54 dreadchicken: it can't be. when i ls ./media/internal it shows no files even though i see it in the main finder window (along with other folders). plus i tried to mount it and it says no such file or directory Jun 15 05:38:00 datafirm: on the device Jun 15 05:38:07 Is the Pre's WiFi capable of both taking in a signal and broadcasting out a signal at the same time? Jun 15 05:38:15 jblebrun: but can you develop in real time.. or do you have to reboot? Jun 15 05:38:41 I haven't quite figured out how it works. I've been playing with the PDF app, and I can just flick it away and restart it. Jun 15 05:38:42 JohnPro, huh Jun 15 05:38:50 take the phone out of usb mode, get a command line and type df -h /media/internal. Jun 15 05:38:54 But some things require restart Jun 15 05:39:25 you cannot have the device in usb mode and see media internal from the pre at the same time. Jun 15 05:39:27 Can the Pre's WiFi adapted both taking in data and simultaneously broadcast out data? Jun 15 05:39:48 dreadchicken: /dev/mapper/store-media 6.7G mounted on /media/internal Jun 15 05:40:21 ls -al /media/internal Jun 15 05:40:22 johnpro: Do you mean, running as a master and a managed node simultaneously? Jun 15 05:40:53 dreadchicken: ok, i see debsmall.img in that. Jun 15 05:41:04 jblerun: I mean take in data and send out data? It is often used for tethering. I am not asking for that reason but that is what I am talking about. Jun 15 05:41:12 everfine, where were you looking? Jun 15 05:41:25 when i mount -o loop /media/internal/debsmall.img /media/cf it says no file though Jun 15 05:41:27 johnpro: All wifi connections receive and send data... Jun 15 05:41:46 everfine, and does the directory /media/cf exist? Jun 15 05:41:50 yes Jun 15 05:42:14 jblerun: I know but some wifi adapters are able to manage both at the same time like for tethering. Is the Pre technically capable of this? Without saying how... Jun 15 05:42:15 got it working Jun 15 05:42:22 must have been a typo. shit sorry Jun 15 05:42:54 pebkac Jun 15 05:43:12 ok...i activated debian rootfs? Jun 15 05:43:46 no idea, i've not played with the deb chroot. Jun 15 05:43:54 thank you all is working dreadchicken Jun 15 05:44:04 its late... Jun 15 05:45:34 does preos implementation of webkit implement E4X? Jun 15 05:46:28 what's E4X? Jun 15 05:46:55 datafirm: not sure. Jun 15 05:48:41 jblebrun: darn.. safari does not support E4X. Jun 15 05:48:44 so probably not. Jun 15 06:02:21 ShinAli: ecma for xml, some kind of javascript api Jun 15 06:02:24 getting "Could not initialize SDL: Unable to open mouse." when trying to launch fceux after compiling/installing it. ideas? Jun 15 06:02:37 fceux? Jun 15 06:02:43 the NES emulator Jun 15 06:02:47 ok Jun 15 06:03:08 the touch screen is on a entry in /dev right? Jun 15 06:03:24 it's probably looking for /dev/input something Jun 15 06:03:39 can you strace? no rom just emu Jun 15 06:04:26 yes, i have /dev/touchscreen Jun 15 06:04:29 don't konw what strace is Jun 15 06:04:58 strace fceux Jun 15 06:05:12 are you running this with luna killed? Jun 15 06:05:24 no, haven't killed luna yet Jun 15 06:05:38 ok, either way Jun 15 06:05:39 that wasn't in the NES instructions :-P saw that in the doom instructions though Jun 15 06:05:51 instruction? :) Jun 15 06:05:55 s Jun 15 06:06:07 yes, the instructions on the wiki Jun 15 06:06:45 didn't have strace installed. installing Jun 15 06:07:00 oh jeez thats verbose Jun 15 06:07:48 yeah Jun 15 06:08:15 try strace -e open fceux Jun 15 06:08:46 heh. much more managable :-P Jun 15 06:08:55 yeah Jun 15 06:09:12 ok, what is failing? Jun 15 06:09:32 a number of places... Jun 15 06:10:00 related to touchscreen? Jun 15 06:10:04 in /dev Jun 15 06:10:20 /etc/fb.modes, /dev/vc/2, /dev/input/mice, etc... Jun 15 06:10:22 some things always fail Jun 15 06:10:30 ok Jun 15 06:10:33 nothing related to touchscreen anywhere in that output, failed or successful Jun 15 06:10:49 vc is your terminal which shouldn't be involved here Jun 15 06:10:59 if you're on ssh/novacomd Jun 15 06:11:04 ssh Jun 15 06:11:14 in the chroot Jun 15 06:11:24 anything else in /dev? Jun 15 06:11:24 ah Jun 15 06:11:39 did you mount -o bind /dev /chroot/dev ? Jun 15 06:11:49 do that for dev, sys, proc Jun 15 06:11:54 from within the chroot or outside of it? Jun 15 06:12:00 add it to any script you use Jun 15 06:12:02 outside Jun 15 06:12:22 oh, yeah, i believe that was done... i got disconnected from the device and figured it would stay on Jun 15 06:12:25 but maybe not... Jun 15 06:12:27 checking Jun 15 06:13:50 yeah Jun 15 06:13:54 it will Jun 15 06:14:01 until umount/reboot Jun 15 06:14:19 that's not really the problem though Jun 15 06:14:23 hmm... was going to try to remount but its telling me its in use when i try to umount Jun 15 06:14:27 heh Jun 15 06:14:46 it's not opening the correct file Jun 15 06:14:59 do you need mouse/touchscreen? Jun 15 06:15:13 for mario? i don't assume so. i'll need it when i leave mario though Jun 15 06:15:14 heh Jun 15 06:15:31 I don't know fceux Jun 15 06:15:38 me either Jun 15 06:15:42 heh Jun 15 06:15:50 what kind of navigation does pre have? Jun 15 06:16:36 maybe the touch events could be used? Jun 15 06:16:45 i think /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.amazonstore/app/models/download-manager.js , has an interesting function called download with some even more interesting code aound, //download only if wifi is on Jun 15 06:17:06 yes Jun 15 06:17:13 that's been documented Jun 15 06:17:28 ohh really, on the wiki somewhere? Jun 15 06:18:01 i didn't see it there, but maybe i missed it Jun 15 06:18:28 was thinking about trying to mod that program to do EVDO downloads. not sure how complex it would be. hadn't gotten around to looking at it Jun 15 06:18:38 in here at least Jun 15 06:18:45 @sdk Jun 15 06:18:54 what? Jun 15 06:19:04 it's simple Jun 15 06:19:13 just from knowing javascript Jun 15 06:19:28 replace what ever it checks with 1 Jun 15 06:19:30 anyone got sftp to work on os x? Jun 15 06:19:45 with what application? Jun 15 06:20:11 finder? Jun 15 06:24:00 no.. im an idiot.. forgot to put the alternate port in.. haha Jun 15 06:24:55 the wiki (http://predev.wikidot.com/nintendo) looks so straight forward... don't know why its finding the wrong file Jun 15 06:25:09 should i kill luna first maybe? i don't know if that would make a difference Jun 15 06:26:39 looking at the DOOM instructions it looks like i would need to and also need to export the SDL settings Jun 15 06:26:44 hmm Jun 15 06:34:31 ha.. there are a lot of TODO and FIXMEs in these apps.. ;) Jun 15 06:35:07 * rwhitby returns Jun 15 06:35:28 and notices we've had our first ops action :-) Jun 15 06:35:38 LOL Jun 15 06:36:00 what mib_d4g7a2 pasted is Palm copyright code, right? Jun 15 06:37:25 i got it working! brilliant Jun 15 06:39:44 alright, i can sleep now! Jun 15 06:40:07 software reset still works even with luna killed. nice :-) Jun 15 06:40:36 rwhitby, disassembled java code Jun 15 06:41:12 right, Palm's java code Jun 15 06:41:26 yup Jun 15 06:43:27 is com.palm.superlog used to store app data in an sqlite db? Jun 15 06:45:59 So mib_d4g7a2 is welcome back as long as he is prepared to follow the channel policy. Jun 15 06:48:16 rwhitby: and I made my PDFs rotate :-D Jun 15 07:25:02 anyone ever run into a Permission denied error when attempting to get the Graphical Shell running? Jun 15 07:25:16 in specific when attempting to make the certificate Jun 15 07:25:27 hello Jun 15 07:25:47 just because I use mibbit doesn't make me a bad person, does it? :-) Jun 15 07:26:12 also, somebody mentioned something about gstreamer: fyi, I used that to break my camera app last night, although a reboot fixed it Jun 15 07:26:35 zinge: we welcome all people, regardless of IRC client :-) Jun 15 07:26:47 * rwhitby bbl Jun 15 07:27:20 examancer, you still here? know anything about gstreamer? Jun 15 07:28:38 * zinge does that thing where people run next to a fence and run a stick along it to make noise Jun 15 07:46:42 trying to root my pre and having some issues, any know problems with using windows 7? trying inside of a VM (native linux) and nativly windows as well. consistently getting error: [Errno 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. all firewalls turned off drivers install correctly Jun 15 07:46:57 anyone know where Mojo.log logs? Jun 15 07:47:10 Mojo.Log.logProperties Jun 15 07:47:18 native linux doesn't work yet, afaik. Windows 7 doesn't work well, but can work if you have RC1 Jun 15 07:47:43 actually, if you have rc1 instead of just beta, use XP compatibility mode Jun 15 07:47:50 and just do it in xp Jun 15 07:48:21 also, make sure your pre is in dev mode, make sure the Palm Novacomm (forgot the actual name) service is running Jun 15 07:48:23 run the python script in xp mode? Jun 15 07:48:28 yes Jun 15 07:48:30 k Jun 15 07:48:41 are you using talk.py or novaproxy.py? Jun 15 07:48:51 have both Jun 15 07:48:57 okay. Jun 15 07:49:15 I recommend novaproxy, since the lat on the usb is much better. Jun 15 07:49:50 geeze, where is everyone tonight? Jun 15 07:50:46 since no one is really here, I'm just gonna type some things so document what I'm working on for the logger or in case someone comes back, I guss Jun 15 07:51:15 I'm writing up a how-to based on a little hack I just made Jun 15 07:51:19 I'll listen to you ;-) Jun 15 07:51:26 ok Jun 15 07:51:26 :-) Jun 15 07:51:26 still working on my goal of trying to get the mic and camera to stream over evdo to use my pre as a go-anywhere wireless webcam Jun 15 07:51:35 oooo Jun 15 07:51:35 switched from trying vlc to gstreamer Jun 15 07:51:37 wow Jun 15 07:51:46 as gstreamer is already installed, and vlc was a hassle to try and get to work Jun 15 07:52:22 last night, tried to pipe my camera... elsewhere. and failed, breaking my camera app, as I didn't understand anything about gst-launch. Jun 15 07:52:31 learning it now and taking it slower, starting with audio Jun 15 07:52:53 alsasink is already installed, so alsa support should be good Jun 15 07:53:33 and is the mic a normal audio input device? Jun 15 07:53:53 but trying to test gstreamer with the test sine tone from gstreamers docs page "gst-launch audiotestsrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! alsasink" Jun 15 07:54:09 shows that for some readon audioresample isn't installed Jun 15 07:54:23 jblebrun: I can arecord straight from the mic, so I assume yes Jun 15 07:54:34 That's nice news Jun 15 07:55:15 still just getting: [Errno 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it Jun 15 07:55:27 so what I'm doing now is going through gstreamer docs and trying to figure out: why audioresample isn't installed, and how to install it Jun 15 07:55:34 justintevya_: using xp and novaproxy now? Jun 15 07:55:48 did you install the driver in xp mode? Jun 15 07:56:09 also learning what audioresample does and why I even need it Jun 15 07:56:45 zinge: are you in a debian chroot? Jun 15 07:56:53 nope Jun 15 07:57:03 where'd you install gstreamer from? Jun 15 07:57:08 wiped my pre, don't even have optware set up Jun 15 07:57:10 already on the phone Jun 15 07:57:15 oh, it is? Jun 15 07:57:20 used for camera work and youtube I think Jun 15 07:57:23 hah Jun 15 07:57:25 look at that Jun 15 07:57:29 possibly video and audio as well Jun 15 07:57:38 thats why I switched to gstreamer instead of vlc Jun 15 07:57:41 already installed for me Jun 15 07:58:57 i see no service in the services list that say palm. and no option of changing compatibility mode on the python script or the cmd.exe and i did install the driver in both compatibility settings of xp and win7, driver shows as good. Jun 15 07:59:48 also tried running pythin.exe in xp mode Jun 15 07:59:51 still no dice Jun 15 07:59:57 *python Jun 15 08:00:08 justintevya_: gimme a sec, lemme check the name of the service Jun 15 08:00:26 "Palm Novacom", running file: C:\Program Files\Palm, Inc\novacom\x86\novacomd.exe Jun 15 08:00:37 do you have the program files\Palm, Inc directory? Jun 15 08:02:54 okay, if I try this: "gst-launch audiotestsrc ! audioconvert ! alsasink" (sine tone test without audioresample pipe) it hangs Jun 15 08:03:24 hangs on "New clock: GstAudioSinkClock" Jun 15 08:03:52 on stracing it, it seems to endlessly poll fd3 with gettimeofday Jun 15 08:03:57 poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 1, 11) = 0 Jun 15 08:04:03 gettimeofday({1245052765, 96832}, NULL) = 0 Jun 15 08:04:46 since I have no idea what that means, I'm going back to the gstreamer documentation to figure out what audioresample is Jun 15 08:06:11 interesting... from their faq: Jun 15 08:06:12 Q: Is GStreamer X independent ? A: Yes, we have no X dependency in any of our core modules. There are GStreamer applications that run fine without any need for X. However, until our Linux Framebuffer or libsvga plugin is ready, you will not be able to play videos without X. In the future, there will probably be lots of different output plugins for video avai Jun 15 08:06:31 Maybe its old... but we have no x. So how are they using gstreamer for video? Jun 15 08:07:48 justintevya_: do you have the program files\Palm, Inc directory? Jun 15 08:08:56 no, there seems to be a hang durring the install, the driver gets installed properly but the client in prog files doesn't get installed Jun 15 08:09:36 are the palm:// api calls documented anywhere yet? Jun 15 08:09:54 somebody else was having this problem... don't remember how they solved it. Do you have an XP machine handy just to root it? (then you can ssh from anything) Jun 15 08:09:59 datafirm: I've had a lot of luck digging around the existing apps Jun 15 08:10:05 and also lune systemui Jun 15 08:10:06 luna Jun 15 08:10:22 i guess i could VM up an xp machine, a pain though, erg Jun 15 08:10:23 k Jun 15 08:10:38 jblebrun: luna systemui is in /usr/lib/luna? Jun 15 08:10:45 But I haven't found a good centralized source for the available calls :( Jun 15 08:10:51 Is there some way to do introspection on dbus? Jun 15 08:11:04 dbus? Jun 15 08:11:04 datafirm: ya -- you can figure out a lot about connectivity and power management in that one Jun 15 08:11:30 jblebrun: nice.. thanks! Jun 15 08:13:11 hmm.. palm wrote their own video/audio decoder plugins for gstreamer, "palmvideodecoder" and "palmaudiodecoder" Jun 15 08:13:27 wonder what happens if I try those to play some wavs or mp3s? time to find out Jun 15 08:14:08 oooooo Jun 15 08:14:31 You can replace the dtmf sounds ;-) Jun 15 08:15:07 reading through available plugins on gstreamer website vs installed plugins on gst-launch on pre.. maybe audiorate is similar to the missing audioresample? have to check that Jun 15 08:15:26 jblebrun: does that just replace them on the phone or the ones that play through the system? Jun 15 08:15:36 zinge: My guess is both. Jun 15 08:15:39 or do they not really use dtmf tones anymore on cell phones? Jun 15 08:15:46 I don't think they use them on the network Jun 15 08:15:49 if its both... wouldn't that break touch tone support? Jun 15 08:15:52 but If you want to press 1 for more options Jun 15 08:15:57 yeah Jun 15 08:15:58 riht Jun 15 08:16:21 haha Jun 15 08:16:34 It makes me think of phreaking Jun 15 08:16:40 heh Jun 15 08:17:47 I have a general question. If a cell phone (not only a pre) creates an Ad-Hoc network and has DHCP turned on... Would the user still have to enter the "proxy's" ip address into the device that would use the EVDO connection? Jun 15 08:17:49 okay, so audiosample resamples raw audio buffers.... why is it required? or does the gst-launch pipe convert to raw audio by that point? Jun 15 08:18:26 johnpro: I thought you were going to bed :-P Jun 15 08:18:37 Couldn't sleep Jun 15 08:18:39 zinge: just use playbin2 :) Jun 15 08:18:44 Too much work Jun 15 08:18:44 :-) Jun 15 08:18:57 Haha Jun 15 08:19:03 yeah I'm going to be hating life tomorrow Jun 15 08:19:05 Yes. DHCP turned on does not make it a DHCP server. But this might be getting a little too close to tether talk. I'd ask rwhitby. Jun 15 08:19:05 I thought you were going to as well :-) Jun 15 08:19:23 zinge: I am not only talking about a PRe Jun 15 08:19:44 I know, but this is a WebOS irc channel. Jun 15 08:19:52 I am simply asking if DHCP is on would one still need to enter the proxies IP Address manually? Jun 15 08:19:58 I could be wrong, just saying, I'd ask rwhitby if he happens to come on. Jun 15 08:20:09 Just a yes or no would do Jun 15 08:20:09 dhcp on does not make the phone a dhcp server. Jun 15 08:20:13 you'd need a server Jun 15 08:20:15 Okay Jun 15 08:20:17 Thank You Jun 15 08:20:22 :-) Jun 15 08:20:46 member:jblebrun, I thought you were going to go to sleep as well :-) Jun 15 08:20:47 zinge: could you run `gst-inspect palmvideodecoder/palmaudiodecoder` and tell us (people without the pre) what mime types these plugins can handle? Jun 15 08:20:56 sure, gimme a sec Jun 15 08:21:20 what is playbin2, btw? I tried playbin, but it was giving me the same problem with audioresample not being installed Jun 15 08:21:31 as you can see, I've never touched gstreamer before Jun 15 08:21:36 It seems that native-code plugins can define callback method names directly in controllers Jun 15 08:22:03 zinge: playbin2 is enhanced version of playbin and will replace it in the future Jun 15 08:22:16 I'm so over the Mojo SDK, when do we get the browser plugin SDK? ;-) Jun 15 08:22:28 (And I don't even have the Mojo SDK) Jun 15 08:23:04 I know we got the browser working as a terminal Jun 15 08:23:09 Any luck with a native terminal? Jun 15 08:23:22 nope Jun 15 08:23:31 Anyone working on it Jun 15 08:23:35 Or have people given up Jun 15 08:23:36 ? Jun 15 08:23:37 No. I don't think anyone's putting much effort into native code dev at the moment. Jun 15 08:23:43 ok. do you want the pastebin of the whole output of the gst-inspect? or just mime types? video does mpeg, h.263 and h.264 Jun 15 08:23:47 JohnPro: No SDK :-( Jun 15 08:24:05 zinge: pastebin would be best Jun 15 08:24:06 rwhitby, I know. But people still seem to be able to do so Jun 15 08:24:08 GUI apps are going to be few and far between until the public SDK comes. Jun 15 08:24:17 Like NES and DOOM Jun 15 08:24:32 pocek: video is here: http://webos.pastebin.com/mbb16765 Jun 15 08:24:34 Those have been done by a Debian chroot directly writing the framebuffer. Jun 15 08:24:46 where do apps logs js errors etc? Jun 15 08:24:48 i.e. completely blatting over webOS. Jun 15 08:25:01 or do we need the Mojo debugging tools? Jun 15 08:25:34 Anyone have an ETA for Mojo? Jun 15 08:25:35 audio is here: http://webos.pastebin.com/m5964c53 Jun 15 08:25:39 Kinda lame without it Jun 15 08:26:00 zinge: thanks Jun 15 08:26:20 I think in /var/log/messages Jun 15 08:26:31 What is the Mojo SDK ETA? Jun 15 08:26:46 rwhitby: sorry if I'm being *extra* paranoid, but are we cool with the ad-hoc dhcp convo?

Either it's talking about tethering, or it's off-topic in a webos-internals channel :-) Jun 15 08:28:17 2009-06-15T08:27:30.348212Z [15287] castle user.err LunaSysMgr: {LunaSysMgrJS} Info: Your mom.

Jun 15 08:39:37 thatnks with the playbin2, btw. That seems to have fixed my audioresample problem Jun 15 08:39:46 Well, in Ohio, its MiamiU Jun 15 08:40:14 but people get confused Jun 15 08:40:42 pocek: Now I'm having the same problem as when I took audioresample out though; its hanging at New click: GetSystemClock Jun 15 08:40:51 are you ugrad there? Jun 15 08:41:01 clock* not click Jun 15 08:41:06 ya Jun 15 08:41:45 know anybody there? Jun 15 08:41:58 IDK if my internet works... anyone see this?

Jun 15 08:45:50 I had to etch kernel modules into stone tablets when I was in undergrad Jun 15 08:46:06 datafirm: are they causing the app to fail? Jun 15 08:46:12 no. Jun 15 08:46:21 Then they must be in webkit somewhere Jun 15 08:46:51 generally trying to apply a call to "undefined" will causes javascript to stop Jun 15 08:48:59 yeah.. just trying to find a better way to debug this stuff. Jun 15 08:49:38 hey pocek, would it help any if I realized I mistyped the error and it was really GstSystemClock, not GetSystemClock? Jun 15 08:49:40 yeah, seriously Palm. Clearly it's time to release some docs and a debugger Jun 15 08:50:01 Does that explain anything, or should I keep googling around/try setting the DEBUg env Jun 15 08:50:09 This phone is going to be so ate up. Jun 15 08:53:07 zinge: Sorry, I don't know gstreamer that well, I usually also have problems writing gst pipes which work. BTW, people on #gstreamer tend to be friendly and helpful Jun 15 08:54:52 okay, thanks Jun 15 08:56:22 zinge: what year are you? Jun 15 08:57:16 going into senior year Jun 15 08:57:40 I'm one of the young'uns here, although apparently there are at least 3 or 4 others younger Jun 15 08:57:57 but CS is my second major. My main focus is video/film Jun 15 08:57:59 are you going to grad school? Jun 15 08:58:03 nope Jun 15 08:58:07 no chance Jun 15 08:58:11 really? Jun 15 08:58:20 money + its not needed for what I want to get into in film Jun 15 08:58:24 it might help, but not necessary Jun 15 08:58:32 well, fine Jun 15 08:58:33 I hate you Jun 15 08:58:34 ;-) Jun 15 08:59:06 heh, lol Jun 15 08:59:58 I'm into vfx, editing, and cgi animation stuff, so while grad school might help, its not necessary, and usually teaches more of the tech side, which I have no trouble with Jun 15 09:00:16 I'm a techie dabbling in the creative stuff, as opposed to the other way around for most people Jun 15 09:00:29 and this channel if waaaay off topic :-) Jun 15 09:00:36 back to trying to get gstreamer to like me Jun 15 09:00:45 Well Jun 15 09:01:03 you should probably go to grad school ;-) Jun 15 09:01:17 wanna pay for it ;-)? Jun 15 09:01:26 If you find the right school, they'll pay for it Jun 15 09:02:28 You need to work it, dude Jun 15 09:05:24 any windows users? Jun 15 09:05:38 ya Jun 15 09:05:41 What's up?

Jun 15 09:13:56 I'm a gstreamer-tard, sorry. Jun 15 09:14:31 getting a "New Clock: GstSystemClock" error with anything that should be working, such as playbin2 on an mp3, or just trying to run the sine wave test throgh alsasink Jun 15 09:14:40 just for the room, in case anyone logged in that knows these things Jun 15 09:15:09 There's always the source code.. Jun 15 09:16:35 I can print it out and use it as wallpaper? :-) I'll get there eventually.... I figure asking around might help more then digging through things atm, since its not an unknown program Jun 15 09:17:20 I see bypassing activation to use outside the US Jun 15 09:17:33 Would that mean I could use it on verizon in the US? Jun 15 09:19:11 gnight, guys Jun 15 09:19:17 and gals, if applicable Jun 15 09:19:18 night Jun 15 09:19:32 gnite jblebrun, thanks for the advice Jun 15 09:24:10 JohnPro: no, this is for using it as a pda and with wifi Jun 15 09:25:00 unless you have spc and verizon allows you to use a device with Sprint esn on their network you can't Jun 15 09:25:10 the radio is compatible though Jun 15 09:25:39 cool was able to make my a hellow world app, with icon launched from the app launcher Jun 15 09:26:10 Nice deepthoughtsoft Jun 15 09:27:07 think i have some of the app structure figured out, going to try and write a simple game tomorrow, getting way to late tonight Jun 15 09:27:55 agreed Jun 15 09:31:42 hi again Jun 15 09:32:00 hello Jun 15 09:32:55 hi Jun 15 09:33:08 jusd toord the pre.

Jun 15 09:45:46 i see its alsa Jun 15 09:46:34 this "gst-launch audiotestsrc ! audioconvert ! alsasink" should play me a sine wave test tone Jun 15 09:46:45 zinge: all I know is it's based on how quickly a buffer fills, and with hrt gettimeofday on linux might be better Jun 15 09:47:00 what are you doing? native media player?

Jun 15 10:08:07 what is fd3? Jun 15 10:08:17 If I can't figure this out, my other option is to skip testing gstreamer and move straight to try to feed the mic or cam to a stream Jun 15 10:08:18 hmm Jun 15 10:08:18 ls -lh /proc/pid Jun 15 10:08:24 don't know Jun 15 10:08:47 no /proc/pid Jun 15 10:08:55 replace pid with the # Jun 15 10:08:59 :/ u know that Jun 15 10:09:03 doh Jun 15 10:09:10 HEY did i tell you how much of a kickass job your doing.

Jun 15 10:35:07 I just rebooted, don't think that was doing good things to the speaker Jun 15 10:35:11 bad pcm Jun 15 10:35:37 no, it just means the amplifier is on without the codec setup right Jun 15 10:35:40 or clocks Jun 15 10:35:52 but it's odd that would happen on pre Jun 15 10:36:06 I think I'm done for the night, gotta wake up eventually Jun 15 10:36:12 thanks for all the help though Jun 15 10:36:41 * oc80z in and out Jun 15 10:36:54 i'll follow you tomorow more indepth once im at my usuall desk....

Jun 15 11:07:59 directfb or similar? I would be interested in the compositor Jun 15 11:08:41 as pretty as rounded corners look, i'd prefer the screen real estate Jun 15 11:09:08 especially since it looks ugly as hell since i changed my status bar to grey Jun 15 11:43:21 * bdumm yawns Jun 15 11:43:24 any new news?

Jun 15 12:08:37 i have no network here so no easy way to test changes Jun 15 12:08:45 hmm Jun 15 12:08:51 it looks like the browser has a bug Jun 15 12:09:17 found a lot of info about widgets in the comments in \usr\palm\frameworks\mojo\submissions\175.7\javascripts Jun 15 12:09:18 when you have a link on a website like 06.09.2009 it will open a caller and dial this number rather then opening the link Jun 15 12:09:38 nice en0x Jun 15 12:09:39 en0x: nice, fix it :) Jun 15 12:10:01 i didn't rooted my pre Jun 15 12:10:09 j/k, i think theres a place to file bugs for palm Jun 15 12:10:20 if this was #android, you'd be told to fix it cause its open source Jun 15 12:10:21 their place to file bugs is a joke Jun 15 12:10:22 :) Jun 15 12:10:23 sigh Jun 15 12:11:18 can we make our own docs agains tthe javascript files?

Jun 15 13:02:03 so whats the latest news... where is everyone at Jun 15 13:05:15 flash67, home lol Jun 15 13:05:16 everyone is still bitching about not having the SDK :) Jun 15 13:05:29 well Jun 15 13:05:38 is that bad thing? Jun 15 13:05:39 they should at least release the sdk to a few cool people in here or from the wiki :) Jun 15 13:05:45 hmph Jun 15 13:05:49 i thought the word was "soon" and "no idea why it isn't released" or something like that? Jun 15 13:05:54 it would go nicely towards customer relations Jun 15 13:06:00 use #webos Jun 15 13:06:04 for sdk disc. Jun 15 13:06:21 bdumm: real sdk discussion is still under nda i thought Jun 15 13:06:25 blau-mikeDG, nah just release it, i know other devels who are not here/wiki and have applied but no word from palm.... Jun 15 13:06:28 sdk bitching should be allowed anywhere :( Jun 15 13:06:31 theres nothing we can do but comply for now, same went for danger inc. (sidekick2) Jun 15 13:06:55 it was easier for me to get into sidekick dev program than it has for palm Jun 15 13:07:18 it sure was. Jun 15 13:07:34 someones just needs to present a pretty application to Palm for the SDK Jun 15 13:07:34 for now, Jun 15 13:07:37 im sure somoene here can do it Jun 15 13:07:38 lol Jun 15 13:07:38 we should be hacking the OS Jun 15 13:07:39 !!!! Jun 15 13:07:48 no flash Jun 15 13:07:50 cant do that without the sdk Jun 15 13:07:52 thats not how it works Jun 15 13:07:57 ? Jun 15 13:08:07 application as in not a program Jun 15 13:08:10 im having horrible horrible issues tyrign to debug without the sdk Jun 15 13:08:18 it appears app js is cached Jun 15 13:08:20 but not app html Jun 15 13:08:21 an application as a description of what they want to do with the SDK Jun 15 13:08:24 HEH Jun 15 13:08:33 if i modify html it changes immediately upon rerunning the app Jun 15 13:08:41 if i change the js, i have to kill lunasysmgr Jun 15 13:08:59 not sure if anyone discovered a solution for that yet Jun 15 13:10:13 will lunasysmgr accept any signals (SIGHUP?) to reread the js? Jun 15 13:10:15 um Jun 15 13:10:22 /etc/palm/browser.conf? Jun 15 13:11:06 If you wanna give palm the benefit of the doubt, they're actually listening to the feedback of the beta developers and making core changes to the SDK, and they don't want to release the SDK until they've made those changes Jun 15 13:11:34 (I just made that up, but it would be a good reason) Jun 15 13:11:44 they also probably dont want the android issue, where they tell develoeprs not tto do something Jun 15 13:11:50 hen developers release something that does that and it breaks with the next update Jun 15 13:12:04 the thing that frustrates me (and I'm guessing pretty much everyone else) is the lack of clear communication Jun 15 13:12:16 yeah i agree Jun 15 13:12:22 same thing with the real reviewers Jun 15 13:12:23 interesting Jun 15 13:14:43 my two bits... it seems the winds have shifted... with multi carriers in near future and BIG production of the Pre then it will be hard for Palm not to be more wide open w/o fscking the ecosystem they just created Jun 15 13:15:33 imho there is no ecosystem yet Jun 15 13:15:48 * bdumm looks around Jun 15 13:16:04 how many devels in #android-devel atm? Jun 15 13:16:11 do they have an ecosystem? Jun 15 13:17:17 are devels the start of such an ecosystem? hasn't most here been somewhat gaga for over a week now etc? Jun 15 13:17:39 theres a distinct difference between pre dev and android dev Jun 15 13:17:41 on both levels Jun 15 13:17:48 platform and app Jun 15 13:17:55 i know of other devels who were going to buy Iphones, even have Iphone apps but now are considering Pre just cause they can root it etc Jun 15 13:17:57 bpadalino: nice, I will like to look at that later, but what do you mean history gotblost? Jun 15 13:18:16 improving android is a PITA, its a pain to install a new platform build or replace existing apps Jun 15 13:18:40 pre you cant really install a new platform since its not open source, but we have enough stuff to modify and it's easier to load Jun 15 13:18:46 same thing with the main apps Jun 15 13:18:52 bdumm: not too many in there, that's mostly api questions, everyone is in #adnroid Jun 15 13:19:00 #android Jun 15 13:19:21 tmzt, fine, but still its been how long? Jun 15 13:19:53 one of the biggest things is pre uses a more common set of userland utils/libraries, allowing for native development Jun 15 13:19:55 most of the android hacking is stuck in xda forums Jun 15 13:20:02 where a smost of pre hacking seems to be here and the wiki Jun 15 13:20:04 bdumm: sorry? Jun 15 13:20:21 for Pre devel vs android devel Jun 15 13:20:29 a week~? Jun 15 13:20:48 blau-mikeDG: it's also very diferent kind of development, the goal here seems to be to document everything Jun 15 13:21:03 on a related note, were my instructions on how to enabling adding/removing pages on the launcher hard to find? Jun 15 13:21:11 last August I think Jun 15 13:21:22 because someone seems to have created a duplicate set of instructions Jun 15 13:21:57 jwsh: the wiki is hard to navigate and search Jun 15 13:22:01 imo Jun 15 13:22:47 android = aug? Jun 15 13:23:00 ill be excited to see some of my changes make it into an official release Jun 15 13:23:02 tmzt, history gotblost ? Jun 15 13:23:13 blau-mikeDG, i think it needs some reorganizing also Jun 15 13:23:27 ie we need a Commands page with all commands under there Jun 15 13:23:47 but wikidot won't approve either of my signups :\ Jun 15 13:23:53 bpadalino: lost Jun 15 13:24:31 tmzt, not sure what i mean by history got lost :( Jun 15 13:24:54 bbl, gotta go to work Jun 15 13:24:59 so i don't get fired Jun 15 13:25:00 :( Jun 15 13:25:05 maybe it wasn't you Jun 15 13:25:07 ok Jun 15 13:26:16 anyone play with penindicator-ripple.png? Jun 15 13:26:23 it looks like the touch screen indicator Jun 15 13:26:38 * bdumm waves @ asedeno_home_afk Jun 15 13:26:38 i cant get to my file system easily where i am now :( Jun 15 13:26:43 hey, anyone here done a restore from backup?

All is well. Jun 15 13:28:54 lol, :) good to read Jun 15 13:29:04 take a nice nap today then Jun 15 13:29:23 blau-mikeDG: that's in js? Jun 15 13:29:30 found the corner of the screen bitmaps! Jun 15 13:29:38 tmzt: ? the image Jun 15 13:29:49 usr\palm\sysmgr\images Jun 15 13:29:59 figured the deformation happens someone in binary land Jun 15 13:30:07 but the base image appears to be there Jun 15 13:30:27 carp i forgot my usb cable today Jun 15 13:30:39 the event/pointer code Jun 15 13:31:21 I guess it's possible Jun 15 13:31:56 i cant really do anything i dont think Jun 15 13:32:01 no usb cable, only an adhoc network Jun 15 13:32:07 and no evdo Jun 15 13:33:14 i found the alphas for the corners!! Jun 15 13:33:27 good by rounded corners, hello 30ish free pixels :) Jun 15 13:34:13 how do you know the window will be filled? Jun 15 13:35:27 i suspect it would be Jun 15 13:35:39 i think its much harder to decide not to fill that weird shape Jun 15 13:35:45 than to fill it and block it out Jun 15 13:35:56 css? Jun 15 13:36:04 i may just recolor them anyway Jun 15 13:36:08 cause i changed my status bar to gray Jun 15 13:36:21 and it looks awful with black bordery things Jun 15 13:44:40 someone should make an advanced preferences app that modifies all these small CSS options and other silly options.. Jun 15 13:44:49 i believe the iphone has something called bossprefs that is similar / Jun 15 13:45:23 doesnt apepar those files are mentioned in css anywhere Jun 15 13:47:19 hello friends , any figured how to launch a java application from commandline ? Jun 15 13:50:45 bandwidthcrunch, javahy Jun 15 13:51:24 i wonder if they can run over X server Jun 15 13:51:34 pre has a full JVM right or is it a some kind of light version?

Jun 15 13:52:37 y Jun 15 13:53:04 http://m.gadu-gadu.pl/getjava.php?cert=yes&v= Jun 15 13:53:26 mgg.jad file it should work with java but idk its a IM client Jun 15 13:53:34 written in java Jun 15 13:53:53 there is a com.palm.display bus i'd like to see the methods to .. but i don't know how to query the methods available and their arguments Jun 15 13:53:54 and if it run will u post a screen? :> Jun 15 13:54:14 i don't think java has any way to display anything - just process things .. Jun 15 13:54:27 oh so it wont use gui Jun 15 13:54:28 hm Jun 15 13:54:34 right Jun 15 13:54:53 Has anyone written their own Dbus service yet? Jun 15 13:54:58 sargun, no Jun 15 13:55:27 Ok. Jun 15 13:55:35 * Sargun might write one today Jun 15 13:55:49 and then I can have one of the mojo guys write a front-end later Jun 15 13:55:51 sargun, if you could figure that out along with getting something like qdbus going to we can see services + methods + arguments Jun 15 13:55:56 qdbus? Jun 15 13:56:09 dbus introspection? Jun 15 13:56:23 well all palm:// services just take JSON it seems Jun 15 13:56:47 sargun, right - but how do you figure out which methods are exposed to you ? Jun 15 13:56:54 and what the arguments are ? Jun 15 13:57:38 the JSON arguments? Jun 15 13:57:41 dbus-util Jun 15 13:57:43 sniffing Jun 15 13:57:56 sniff my butt Jun 15 13:58:00 :( Jun 15 13:58:08 right - so anything that isn't currently being used isn't going to be found .. Jun 15 13:58:46 bpadalino|work, uhm... good point. Jun 15 13:59:54 i should make fancy looking corners Jun 15 14:15:03 blau-mikeDG, you should!

Jun 15 14:18:21 i was looking for the dbus java implementation .. and came across: http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-java/ Jun 15 14:18:29 which links here: http://www.matthew.ath.cx/projects/java/ Jun 15 14:18:39 whatever font it uses seems to be lacking good international support Jun 15 14:22:39 you can find the fonts in /usr/share/fonts Jun 15 14:32:24 * bdumm chuckles Jun 15 14:32:28 printf( "Not sure wtf to do\n" ) ; Jun 15 14:33:50 heh Jun 15 14:33:57 yeah - that is all very fragmented currently Jun 15 14:34:09 i really need to start with the documentation and finish the reversing of the protocol Jun 15 14:34:15 then figure out my structures Jun 15 14:34:20 and then it will write itself Jun 15 14:34:26 bpadalino|work: yeah, I found the fonts.. it's not the actual fonts that are the problem Jun 15 14:34:31 i've noticed, i'll see if I can catch up today.... Jun 15 14:35:14 webkit seems to be 1) ignoring fonts specified in css and 2) not displaying characters from many languages Jun 15 14:36:29 finally got my hands on a pre yesterday Jun 15 14:37:05 congrats Jun 15 14:37:09 jerms, congrats! what do you think so far ? Jun 15 14:37:34 does anyone elses back cover creak on the bottom right when they type? Jun 15 14:38:14 jerms, congrats, happy? Jun 15 14:38:26 nebula, not with the touchstone cover... Jun 15 14:38:51 looks like i found an excuse to get it Jun 15 14:39:08 nebula: my centro does that Jun 15 14:39:14 pita! Jun 15 14:39:33 the centro people decided it was because the cover needed to be so tight against the body Jun 15 14:39:35 until the touchstone comes, i'll just layer some electrical tape inside the cover Jun 15 14:39:46 i have my pre wired to normal computer speakers, on a touchstone playing pandroa thru wifi all day... Jun 15 14:40:03 bdumm: niiice Jun 15 14:40:11 yea it works great Jun 15 14:40:23 now to install other media stuffs... Jun 15 14:40:28 nebula: :) yeah, that's what cento users did too :) THey used paper though Jun 15 14:43:06 paper didn't seem to work for me Jun 15 14:43:21 was either too thick or too thin Jun 15 14:43:44 well, yeah. I've just gotten used to it on my centro Jun 15 14:46:20 i am completely overjoyed Jun 15 14:47:26 the screen is gorgeous, all the features 'worked the first time' and were very intuitive Jun 15 14:47:52 the screen is gorgeous, the phone is sleek and smaller than the iphone (thank god) Jun 15 14:47:57 did i mention the screen is ridiculous ? Jun 15 14:47:58 * Sargun_screen needs to get a third charging kit. Jun 15 14:48:05 o.O Jun 15 14:48:16 jerms: did you root it yet? Jun 15 14:48:32 nah, but im not sure i want to Jun 15 14:48:42 as long as an ssh client app comes out, i think im good to go Jun 15 14:48:52 i might buy that palmos emulator though to get my older apps going Jun 15 14:49:04 needs a full terminal app to go with the rooting Jun 15 14:49:20 ssh works under the emulator Jun 15 14:49:39 there's a webshell hack on the wiki Jun 15 14:49:41 that would be my main goal jwsh, thanks for confirming,...are you using pssh ? Jun 15 14:49:52 /msg Jun 15 14:50:05 just ignore the idiot. :) Jun 15 14:50:21 jerms: I actually don't have Classic, but I read a post somewhere that said it worked Jun 15 14:50:46 ill give it a shot maybe later today Jun 15 14:50:53 lemme check out this webshell thing Jun 15 14:50:53 drnull: eh? Jun 15 14:51:10 I was referring to myself typing /msg in pidgin... Jun 15 14:51:31 ah... Jun 15 14:53:15 hey guys! Jun 15 14:53:27 hi josch Jun 15 14:53:48 what modem is used in the pre - is it documented? Jun 15 14:53:54 hey, stupid question i'm in as root how can i edit the text. Like kinda confused since there is no nano or anything like a text editor installed. Or is there something? Jun 15 14:54:06 blehz: vim? Jun 15 14:54:08 vi is your text editor Jun 15 14:54:13 blehz, cat file|less Jun 15 14:54:17 there's a bit of a learning curve, also Jun 15 14:54:43 blehz: if you dont know vim: press i to edit and esc, :wq to write and exit Jun 15 14:54:43 don't listen to them it's a vi conspiracy i tell ya :) Jun 15 14:54:59 think of it this way, if you can't handle vi, you probably shouldn't be mucking about in there :) Jun 15 14:55:09 bah Jun 15 14:55:20 http://blog.interlinked.org/tutorials/vim_tutorial.html Jun 15 14:55:29 an editor doth not a developer make Jun 15 14:55:54 * mikewx keeps quiet about his windows preference for UE32 Jun 15 14:56:26 so does anybody know about the pre modem? Jun 15 15:00:19 the resouces i find only talk about a 3g modem - yeah thx this is like buying a pc and not knowing the ethernet controller used Jun 15 15:00:32 mikewx: I love my vim for the terminal but ultraedit is great when i have a GUI. Been trying to use notepad++ instead but its a little light on features in comparison Jun 15 15:02:30 bsiegel: like missing the now-built in telnet/ssh client? ue _might_ be goign a bit overboard in the feature department :) Jun 15 15:02:31 josch: The component diagram is here: http://tinyurl.com/nmbrxv Jun 15 15:03:12 mikewx: oh god, the last time I used UE it didn't have that... And it wasn't that many months ago Jun 15 15:03:36 i really hate to say this, but it's kinda handy Jun 15 15:03:42 new in v15 Jun 15 15:04:19 it doeos raw too so it works with novaproxy Jun 15 15:04:41 f*** it's qualcomm :( Jun 15 15:04:51 bsiegel: thx Jun 15 15:09:13 josch: what were you hoping for? any problem with the qualcomm? Jun 15 15:09:13 josch, yeah - it's a qualcomm MSM6800 Jun 15 15:09:31 qualcomm owns most of the patents for CDMA - so you shouldn't be surprised ? Jun 15 15:09:40 only know their sparse documentation of their hw Jun 15 15:10:04 yeah - you need to sign NDA's to get the good stuff Jun 15 15:10:23 but you probably shouldn't be mucking around much with their radio code Jun 15 15:10:44 and i expect the palm sw to be proprietary so than one can not learn about the chip by reading palm code? Jun 15 15:11:52 i believe the firmware that is loaded is in the OS Jun 15 15:11:56 you can examine it Jun 15 15:12:09 i mean the code - not the binary Jun 15 15:12:18 josch: well it's linux so I would presume that most of that would be handled in kernel modules Jun 15 15:12:30 sure that's no problem Jun 15 15:12:36 The code for the modules is probably not included :( Jun 15 15:12:45 i'm interested in the AT specs, timeouts and stuff Jun 15 15:14:37 or - does the palm sw even talk to the modem using AT cmds or something else? Jun 15 15:14:53 i believe it's similar to GSM in that it's AT commands .. over a mcbsp i think ? Jun 15 15:16:04 i'm part of the pyneo project - we build a dbus middleware for mobile devices which currently only runs on the openmoko phones Jun 15 15:16:21 'cause they are the only ones running a free gnu/linux Jun 15 15:16:24 oh - this should be right up your alley then since this uses dbus Jun 15 15:16:35 most htc phones are not wnough reversed for full functionality Jun 15 15:16:51 want to see the dbus listing ? Jun 15 15:17:07 http://webos.pastebin.com/m10dd044b Jun 15 15:18:01 no, it doesn't use AT commands Jun 15 15:18:34 that's disappointing :( Jun 15 15:18:46 geist: aw crap - how it done? documentation anywhere? Jun 15 15:19:10 nope. proprietary Jun 15 15:19:46 yeah expeceted nothing more from qualcomm... Jun 15 15:19:55 good assumption Jun 15 15:21:17 well i think then this paltform died for us :( Jun 15 15:21:24 josch, why is that ? Jun 15 15:21:34 with no documentation no modem access Jun 15 15:21:43 josch, you can reverse what's going on there ? Jun 15 15:21:53 dont have time for that Jun 15 15:22:07 thats the same situation for a lot of hw Jun 15 15:22:19 i guess if you wanted it handed to you on a silver platter then, sure ... you're out of luck Jun 15 15:22:33 sure you can reverse everything but i rather spend my time in already documented hardware Jun 15 15:22:34 but this is the most open and hacker friendly phones i've ever played around with Jun 15 15:22:35 it's insane Jun 15 15:23:17 i think the openmoko phones are still a bit more open but much much slower hw wise of course Jun 15 15:23:40 teh calypso modem's documentation is also under NDA Jun 15 15:23:51 but there is oss code that one can use to see how it works Jun 15 15:24:18 also we read about the FLOW project which uses a telit modem which comes fully documented Jun 15 15:24:31 yeah, good luck finding documented modem interface Jun 15 15:24:31 if we have this option than we rather go the easy way Jun 15 15:24:50 in the case of the QC stuff they just did their own interface, and then i think palm customized it a bit as well Jun 15 15:27:32 geist: http://www.telit.com/en/products.php?p_id=3&p_ac=show&p=3 Jun 15 15:27:38 eveyrthing there :) Jun 15 15:27:52 the chip used is still qualcomm Jun 15 15:27:57 it's probably following 07.10 or something Jun 15 15:28:00 but the interface is AT and documented Jun 15 15:28:03 yes Jun 15 15:28:12 cdma has no such documented interface Jun 15 15:28:55 did LTE decide to define a standard interface ? Jun 15 15:29:06 back in the Danger days we used AT to talk to our modems as well Jun 15 15:29:19 we had modems from Enfora, which were Calypso based Jun 15 15:29:30 but we never shipped cdma Jun 15 15:29:46 i remember us talking to a few cdma modem vendors and they all some some half-assed proprietary interface Jun 15 15:31:53 there is more than just qualcomm that makes cdma chipsets ? Jun 15 15:32:42 * Sargun_screen saw the word calypso, and then shuddered slightly... Jun 15 15:33:58 i've never heard of calypso .. are they really that bad for cellular modems ? Jun 15 15:34:45 It's not _that_ bad Jun 15 15:34:54 TI is just bad at supporting it Jun 15 15:35:02 and it has some other random issues. Jun 15 15:35:07 that crop up Jun 15 15:35:13 it's actually pretty bad. Jun 15 15:35:31 oh it's TI .. interesting Jun 15 15:35:43 normally TI is a pretty good company Jun 15 15:35:46 i heard that a lot .. TI makes some interesting stuff, but then can't support it worth a crap Jun 15 15:38:07 well, the calypso has lots of issues Jun 15 15:38:25 they discontinued it for a reason Jun 15 15:38:35 geist: can you name a source for the QC modem being proprietary, undocumented non-AT ? Jun 15 15:39:41 It's qualcomm Jun 15 15:39:41 i work at palm Jun 15 15:39:48 HAhaha Jun 15 15:40:01 yeah QC nuff said Jun 15 15:40:23 geist: Though, the data stuff is using pppd Jun 15 15:40:24 lol @ geist Jun 15 15:40:38 root 10488 0.0 0.3 2904 836 ttyACM0 Ss+ 08:10 0:00 pppd /dev/tts/modem0 file /etc/ppp/options-cdma mtu 1480 Jun 15 15:40:47 plugin /usr/lib/libPmWanPppPlugin.so Jun 15 15:41:25 geist: thx :) Jun 15 15:41:26 Sargun_screen: yep Jun 15 15:41:41 * geist waves at amirf Jun 15 15:42:13 amirf: Fellow palm employee? Jun 15 15:42:28 avgcurrent doesn't seem to report except in certain circumstances. Jun 15 15:43:47 specifically, i have a cron job to report stats from my pre and avgcurrent is always empty when it reports, but done from the command line i get an avgcurrent. Jun 15 15:44:24 sounds like classic unix: the cron environment isn't the same as the shell environment. Jun 15 15:44:30 * Sargun_screen has to go Jun 15 15:44:36 right Jun 15 15:44:52 gtg to see geist soon :) Jun 15 15:44:53 is there a printenv command on the device? easy to compare. Jun 15 15:45:25 So, we've got 4 palm employees Jun 15 15:45:44 more like 8 or 9 that talk. Jun 15 15:45:51 oh, really? Jun 15 15:46:04 yes, and who knows how many are silent. Jun 15 15:46:17 Man, I would love to watch people reverse engineer my work. Jun 15 15:46:32 sargun, i wouldn't .. Jun 15 15:46:35 Ok, time to walk to office.... Jun 15 15:46:37 i'd get nervous Jun 15 15:46:38 bpadalino|work: why not? Jun 15 15:46:42 eh? Jun 15 15:46:49 be back in 20. Jun 15 15:46:52 later Jun 15 15:47:14 so pastebin doesn't keep a history of old pastes ? Jun 15 15:47:21 Hello all, quick question. I'm new to Python. How do I "run" talk.py "in" subversion Jun 15 15:47:36 download it from subversion Jun 15 15:47:45 then run it like any other executable Jun 15 15:48:06 it doesn't run in teh subversion environment Jun 15 15:48:27 the cmd window dissapears so fast I cannot see if it returned errors. Using putty.exe I am not able to connect to my pre Jun 15 15:48:40 run cmd.exe first Jun 15 15:48:42 I must be doing something wrong. Jun 15 15:48:54 then run it manually from the command line so youc an see output Jun 15 15:49:19 gotcha, I have an error for y'all Jun 15 15:49:21 also, if you're using putty make sure you're not confusing connecting via local usb with putty and connecting via wifi via telnet Jun 15 15:49:54 you don't run talk.py if you intend to connect via local usb, you run novaproxy in that instance Jun 15 15:50:26 here's my error Jun 15 15:50:32 Traceback (most recent call last): Jun 15 15:50:33 File "C:\Documents and Settings\admin\Desktop\rooter\talk.py", line 48, in dule> Jun 15 15:50:36 port = getport() Jun 15 15:50:38 File "C:\Documents and Settings\admin\Desktop\rooter\talk.py", line 27, in get Jun 15 15:50:39 port Jun 15 15:50:42 return int(portnum) Jun 15 15:50:43 ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '' Jun 15 15:50:49 had an idea on the commute this morning, what about a public bug tracker (light weight) so we can track the things people are working on and a place for palm to grab bugfixes/features for inclusion/review. Jun 15 15:51:01 sounds like you don't have novacomd installed, or it's not working properly and connecting to the pre Jun 15 15:51:26 i found a reboot was required, not optional, after installing the novacom drivers. Jun 15 15:51:35 I've run it (twice) does my pre have to be in USB diskmode or something? Jun 15 15:51:37 also make sure the pre is in dev mode Jun 15 15:51:44 it has to be in dev mode. Jun 15 15:51:46 Ah, will reboot! Jun 15 15:51:53 Pre is in dev mode Jun 15 15:51:57 BRB Jun 15 15:52:26 bye guys Jun 15 15:53:08 thx geist , bpadalino|work Jun 15 15:55:39 interesting guy Jun 15 15:55:54 sounded like manager :) Jun 15 15:58:46 heh Jun 15 16:00:13 has anyone investigated putting the phone in "roam only" Jun 15 16:00:35 there is a "roam only" string that gets translated, though the phone app doesn't seem to have that option internally Jun 15 16:02:40 i think someone was doing that last night Jun 15 16:02:54 why would you put it in roam only? that's not something I've ever understood Jun 15 16:03:01 I suppose if you have crappy sprint service Jun 15 16:03:06 summatusmentis: cause you're in a place with very weak service Jun 15 16:03:16 and you keep going on and off of sprint, and cant maintain the call Jun 15 16:03:16 yeh, but you tend to lose EV-DO that way too Jun 15 16:03:20 mm Jun 15 16:03:27 I guess that's fair Jun 15 16:03:27 summatusmentis: correct, in verizon areas Jun 15 16:03:31 in alltel areas its evdo roaming Jun 15 16:03:54 alltel areas are gonna be vzw areas soon anyway Jun 15 16:03:58 with the merger, who knows, though I know the alltell stuff will remain the same for a bit Jun 15 16:03:59 yes Jun 15 16:04:12 unsure if it will change verizon, probably not, as they are even bigger now Jun 15 16:04:38 sprint should have gone for the all instead of the next Jun 15 16:04:42 would have been better for them Jun 15 16:04:45 if anything I'd bet vzw lets those roaming agreements lapse, and then Sprint is out of luck Jun 15 16:05:05 summatusmentis: agreed, but they wont lapse for a bit Jun 15 16:05:12 right Jun 15 16:05:26 and verizon will need them soon too Jun 15 16:05:37 as they will be doing cdma for the forceable future, but moving to lte Jun 15 16:05:46 will need which soon? Jun 15 16:05:48 alltel? Jun 15 16:05:50 roaming agreements Jun 15 16:06:04 does anyone mind helping me out with my pre, i have a mac Jun 15 16:06:09 i.e. as they invest in LTE, they'll depend more on other's investments in CDMA Jun 15 16:06:13 I supose, verizon has a huge network though Jun 15 16:06:15 for their current customers Jun 15 16:06:57 acekard, using your mac is great for this stuff Jun 15 16:07:11 yeah i knwo that but im kinda stuck Jun 15 16:07:19 do you mind helping me out? Jun 15 16:07:19 with what aspect ? Jun 15 16:07:40 i am going to lunch in about 10 minutes - but i'll help you for those 10 minutes Jun 15 16:07:49 well i rooted my pre and now i want to know how i can explore the filesystem Jun 15 16:07:57 open up a termina Jun 15 16:07:57 l Jun 15 16:08:00 like /media folder Jun 15 16:08:01 cd /opt/nova/bin Jun 15 16:08:10 did that Jun 15 16:08:12 make sure the phone is in dev mode Jun 15 16:08:15 ./novaterm Jun 15 16:08:18 wata shame, i just saw engadget that palm is giving us the finger, as usual Jun 15 16:08:20 now type away Jun 15 16:08:26 okay thats done, now im at the castle Jun 15 16:08:38 well is there a way to just drag and drop replace files Jun 15 16:08:42 now you just have to use it as a shell Jun 15 16:08:48 what files do you want to replace ? Jun 15 16:08:55 the dialer background Jun 15 16:09:07 hrmm .. Jun 15 16:09:13 setup sftp Jun 15 16:09:16 and use winscp Jun 15 16:09:20 i have a mc Jun 15 16:09:21 mac* Jun 15 16:09:31 blau, i think novacom should be able to send files Jun 15 16:09:34 i know file receive works Jun 15 16:09:37 you can type Jun 15 16:09:39 bpad: but not drag and drop Jun 15 16:09:56 novacom file get:// > filename and it will transfer Jun 15 16:09:58 i guess some will need to tcpdump an update from 1.01 to 1.02 quickly Jun 15 16:10:10 i think put:// < filename works too ? Jun 15 16:10:22 engadget is ass Jun 15 16:10:27 wmirc, how is palm giving us the finger ? Jun 15 16:10:29 wmirc, where? link? Jun 15 16:10:34 Anybody here get the nintendo emulator running? I followed the wiki and got "Could not initialize SDL: Unable to open mouse." Jun 15 16:10:35 wmirc: there's nothing there that says anything about palm "giving us the finger" Jun 15 16:10:50 thats bpad Jun 15 16:10:51 I wonder if one would add a "roamonly" choice to the voiceRoamingChoices struct, if that would work Jun 15 16:10:56 acekard, good luck Jun 15 16:11:08 Palm is requiring forced webOS updates, and Palm doesn't want us to post tethering instructions Jun 15 16:11:09 im kinda new to this linux stuff so its a little confusing Jun 15 16:11:13 that's not "giving us the finger' Jun 15 16:11:22 its engadgets overeactive "reporting" Jun 15 16:11:24 acekard, understandable - it's all very simple! Jun 15 16:11:26 :) Jun 15 16:11:38 Oh fuck you engadget. Jun 15 16:11:40 furthermore, optware is designed to be update-proof (or close) Jun 15 16:11:44 it all seems like that but i just dont know how to send a file to the root Jun 15 16:12:00 seriously, the fact that palm didnt even have their lawyers draft the friendly letter is nice Jun 15 16:12:10 yes Jun 15 16:12:14 engadget took that and blew it out of proportion Jun 15 16:12:18 Yeah, the tethering is reasonable. I would bet that the same request will be made over activation hacking too in short order Jun 15 16:12:21 anyone want to try something Jun 15 16:12:27 I think I can make the pre do roam only Jun 15 16:12:35 I dont have a pre though :) Jun 15 16:12:42 you cant Jun 15 16:12:52 hack the phoneprefs Jun 15 16:12:55 actually maybe you can Jun 15 16:12:55 bsiegel: activation hacking is sort of a grey area. Sprint sells these devices without a contract Jun 15 16:13:12 you can walk into a Sprint store, pay full price for it, and not require a contract at all Jun 15 16:13:16 I suspect you could get around forced updates, but until they do something we don't want I will happily take updates. Jun 15 16:13:16 if someone is comfortable hacking the built in palm apps, I can walk them through it Jun 15 16:13:23 * mikewx has bought many sprint phones that way Jun 15 16:13:40 * Sargun bought his pre out of contract. Jun 15 16:13:44 so arguably, there's a legitimate use for hacking around the required activation Jun 15 16:13:57 particularly if you don't have a sprint plan at all Jun 15 16:15:22 anyone want to experiment with me to get roam only working? Jun 15 16:15:27 and just because we're not posting things that Palm requests we not post does not mean they aren't accessible elsewhere Jun 15 16:15:30 I have an idea of how it would work, just need a tester Jun 15 16:15:44 True, it's just a bit more of a question mark than say, enabling extra pages on the launcher. I just wouldn't be surprised if Palm wanted it taken down. Jun 15 16:16:08 like I said, it's a bit of a grey area, because clearly it could be used to break ToS Jun 15 16:16:23 Summa: Phone unlocking is legal under exceptions added to the DMCA. Jun 15 16:16:26 My overall impression so far is that Palm doesn't seem to mind too much, but they need to keep the Sprint beast happy. Anything that changes how the pre works on Sprint's network (ie tethering) is verboten, and things that might be seen as helping break through their exclusivity contract with Sprint could be worrisome too. Jun 15 16:16:42 Lurking_Grue: even cdma phone unlocking? Jun 15 16:16:53 Summa: I think so. Jun 15 16:17:03 bsiegel: yeah, I tend to agree Jun 15 16:17:38 Lurking_Grue: I'd be interested to see that, because as far as I was aware, that was considered disallowed under most CDMA carrier ToSs Jun 15 16:18:36 Summa: http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2009/04/dmca-hearings-phone- Trying to find more in this. but I do remember more on this when it was going on. Jun 15 16:18:52 On another note, I totally got bit by the alarm clock bug today. Ended up an hour late for work, damn you Palm! Jun 15 16:19:28 bsiegel, haha Jun 15 16:19:31 I think that's called setting your alarm clock incorrectly >_> Jun 15 16:19:44 is their a wiki administrator here? Jun 15 16:19:49 shaya, no Jun 15 16:19:52 I want to add my thoughts on how to get roaming only working Jun 15 16:19:59 but cant create a page myself Jun 15 16:20:27 ehm, that's flirting with the edges of legality Jun 15 16:20:50 Sargun: why? Jun 15 16:20:56 plenty of sprint phones have roam only options Jun 15 16:21:17 bsiegel: the alarm clock will wake you up when you expect it Jun 15 16:21:18 and sometimes when you dont expect it Jun 15 16:21:19 look in PM Jun 15 16:21:21 is it? I can set my centro to roam only by using a built-in setting Jun 15 16:21:27 i havent seen any bugs whre it doesnt wake you up Jun 15 16:22:12 can someone do me a huge favor Jun 15 16:22:39 I dunno, I reset the phone over the weekend to fix some issues and had to recreate my alarms. Neither went off this morning, even though they were enabled. It's possible it's a problem with the wetware, I'll have to look in to it :p Jun 15 16:22:43 if anyone has a mac can you make a video of how to transfer files to the pre Jun 15 16:22:53 Ugh and I hate myself for using that word just now, even if it was appropriate. Jun 15 16:23:23 dunno? Jun 15 16:23:27 qq' Jun 15 16:23:33 acekard: you're pretty much going to have to drag the files to the usb drive accessable portion and then use the shell to copy them where you want them on the pre's file system. Jun 15 16:23:38 wetware? Jun 15 16:23:38 or install sftp Jun 15 16:23:52 ohh okay that makes sense Jun 15 16:23:55 scp works fine Jun 15 16:23:59 how can i use sftp with man Jun 15 16:23:59 * mikewx should take his own advice and install sftp Jun 15 16:23:59 mac* Jun 15 16:24:03 Sargun: aka the user Jun 15 16:24:07 blau-mikeDG: Did the alarm patch make it to the wiki? I can't find it. Jun 15 16:24:18 i don't know i'm not a mac user anymore. perhaps transmit or gogole for sftp mac Jun 15 16:24:46 cyerduck can use stfp Jun 15 16:24:59 or check out mac FUSE + sshfs once you get stfp installed Jun 15 16:25:07 (I think) Jun 15 16:25:21 thanks! Jun 15 16:25:45 I'm back, I was able to correctly run talk.py but I still cannot ssh into my pre Jun 15 16:25:49 I can't guarantee sshfs works Jun 15 16:25:50 telnet Jun 15 16:25:53 Davide-NYC, telnet Jun 15 16:26:01 The nintendo article on the wiki is missing steps. Jun 15 16:26:08 hehe Jun 15 16:26:12 Lurking_Grue, tell nebula Jun 15 16:26:26 Sargun, thanks! Jun 15 16:26:54 Lurking_Grue: which ones? i wrote it half asleep ;) Jun 15 16:27:09 the wiki instructions need to be changes to require a reboot after novacom install and use telnet rather tan ssh Jun 15 16:27:39 Sargun: trying VLC now ;) Jun 15 16:28:28 David: It won't run from ssh? ick. Jun 15 16:29:19 Neb: If you follow it from scratch you get the error: "Could not initialize SDL: Unable to open mouse." Jun 15 16:34:03 grab mplayer and use the aa output module Jun 15 16:34:11 you can watch your videos over the SSH terminal :p Jun 15 16:34:43 is anyone working on a terminal app for the phone yet? is it worth the trouble? Jun 15 16:35:10 I'd just like sshd support :P Jun 15 16:35:17 Binarytech: if you know how to pass the teminal i/o up to the mojo level, go for it... that's what the hold up is. Jun 15 16:35:49 Binarytech: I think you'd be held up as a hero if you go through the trouble :-P Jun 15 16:35:49 Neb: I get past the mouse error and it's running but I still have luna and no nes.... I assume I was suppose to kill it? Jun 15 16:35:59 If my assumptions are correct, it looks like the low level stuff - the code that glues Mojo to the OS - is all written in Java. Jun 15 16:36:17 looks that way to me too bsiegal Jun 15 16:36:47 there are ways within java to pass commands to the terminal Jun 15 16:36:51 bsiegel: they seem to be dbus daemons... see dbus-utils Jun 15 16:36:53 but I don't know if j2me has that Jun 15 16:37:07 If I have some downtime I may throw some of the classes at jad and see what all they are doing Jun 15 16:37:27 whats the best app to decompile the java? i remember an app mentioned but dont recall the name Jun 15 16:37:55 I usually just use jad Jun 15 16:37:58 as far as i know, javac has a decompile flag Jun 15 16:37:59 ok ty sir Jun 15 16:38:16 (The sun java compiler) Jun 15 16:38:23 I dont think it's j2me though, it's a proprietary modification of Apache Harmony called Oasis Jun 15 16:38:44 Which seems to be Java SE Jun 15 16:39:21 And I haven't tried it, but I just noticed on the Harmony website, that they now ship a tool called javap which is a class disassembler Jun 15 16:42:33 EvanPro_: What's on the ends of dbus though? Are the mojo apps sending dbus messages directly, or are they talking to the java code which then does the dbus stuff? And on the other side, what's receiving the dbus messages - java listeners, or native linux utilities or something else? Jun 15 16:44:03 Has anyone tried making a hello world app built against Harmony, sending it to the Pre and trying to execute it? Jun 15 16:44:29 Lurking_Grue: did you stop the service for lunasysmgr? Jun 15 16:44:33 someone wrote a java hello world app, yes Jun 15 16:44:47 summatusmentis: i belive it was just a hack of the nascar app Jun 15 16:44:51 summatus: Does it write to the screen? Jun 15 16:45:00 Okay, just wanted to make sure that worked before going further Jun 15 16:45:00 nascar app was js Jun 15 16:45:04 a hack of the nascar app is a JavaScript app, not a Java app Jun 15 16:45:04 bsiegel: i didn't really check into that... there's a mojo call that "seems" to send the dbus messages directly... but we know javascript doesn't do that... so there's something.. i'm guessing it's some mod / plugin for the webkit engine they're using perhaps.. i'm not sure. i haven't dug that deep yet. Jun 15 16:45:04 nebula: there were two different hello world apps written Jun 15 16:45:06 iirc Jun 15 16:45:19 Can we add a note in the topic that Java != Javascript ? ;-) Jun 15 16:45:24 ah Jun 15 16:45:30 lol Jun 15 16:45:38 nebula: someone wrote something in java, to show that they could, and there was something else that was a "webOS hello world" Jun 15 16:45:39 is there a point to trying to throw java on here? Jun 15 16:45:47 java is already on the pre Jun 15 16:45:53 oh Jun 15 16:45:58 I will investigate when I get home, as I left my USB cable there today >.< Jun 15 16:46:09 i left my usb cable home too Jun 15 16:46:09 anyways, i must be off to work now. i'll be on when i get there. Jun 15 16:46:10 :( Jun 15 16:46:20 blau-mikeDG: seems to be the backend behind some of mojo's stuff Jun 15 16:46:37 i can't wait till friday when i can order some cables from monoprice Jun 15 16:46:37 summatusmentis: java is sort of. isn't it apache harmony? Jun 15 16:46:39 evanpro: Have you figured out anything about workers/background tasks? Jun 15 16:46:42 i.e. not a complete java? Jun 15 16:47:05 or is harmony more complete than I think it is Jun 15 16:47:07 jblebrun: nope.. the things i have made all have cards / scenes. Jun 15 16:47:09 shaya: well, yes, it's not complete java. Someone above was saying it was lose to java se Jun 15 16:47:13 close* Jun 15 16:47:22 h, it was bsiegel Jun 15 16:47:26 ok, dont know Jun 15 16:47:31 Harmony is an implementation of J2SE 1.5. However the VM on the Pre is not pure Harmony. Jun 15 16:48:02 Anything interesting the last couple of days (most debian chroot stuff doesn't count!)? Jun 15 16:48:04 but the point is, the Pre Java VM isn't full java, correct? Jun 15 16:48:07 Also, I've dug around in the PDF and made them rotatable... I can add a howto on the Wiki, which would give some information about handling screen orientation and some basics of communicating with embedded native objects Jun 15 16:48:30 chrisa: nothing wildly exciting that I've seen Jun 15 16:48:33 jblebrun: have you fixed all teh render error crashes? :) Jun 15 16:48:40 It's called Oasis, and it seems to be based on harmony with a bunch of proprietary extensions, designed specifically to run an entire mobile phone interface Jun 15 16:48:51 It was developed by one of the guys that Palm lured from Apple Jun 15 16:48:56 chrisa: but I'm not here all the time, so Jun 15 16:49:00 mikewx: No, I haven't played with the renderer itself, just the wrapper around it Jun 15 16:49:37 jblebrun: it be interesting if we could put together a source code browser plugin that devs could use to make native apps :) Jun 15 16:49:45 bsiegel: ok, but we can expect roughly J2SE 1.5 equivalency? Jun 15 16:50:01 the npapi would be easy Jun 15 16:50:09 part that is Jun 15 16:50:17 I'm just unsure how it does rendering Jun 15 16:50:29 as all I see in the plugins that come with it are libpng and libjpeg Jun 15 16:50:48 followed the instructions on the wiki to enable ssh for an underpriviledged user. Can confirm telnet (23) now refuses connections and ssh (222) loves only the user I created (I think). Thanks! Jun 15 16:51:05 summatusmentis: It's hard to say exactly. Roughly, I would say yes. Judging from the date that Oasis was created, Harmony was far from complete by the time Oasis was used on a production phone Jun 15 16:51:27 So I would bet that they filled in a lot of the holes in the framework with their own code. Jun 15 16:51:38 Who was contacted about sprint/tethering on the wiki? Jun 15 16:51:51 shaya: From what I've seen, I'm not even convinced a webkit plugin fr webOS would have to be compiled against anything Palm-specific Jun 15 16:52:03 bsiegel: and is there a way in J2SE to pass directly to the terminal? Jun 15 16:52:12 Looks like rwhitby was the one who made the edit Jun 15 16:52:19 chrisa: I believe that stems from a conversation that rwhitby had with cdm Jun 15 16:52:26 but I'm not sure on that Jun 15 16:52:29 jblebrun: but doesn't it have to know some graphics context? Jun 15 16:52:56 have some input context.... Jun 15 16:53:13 Oh yeah, for the graphics context, i guess so Jun 15 16:53:17 summatusmentis: it was a conversation a bunch of ops had with cdm, etc. Jun 15 16:53:19 I think input is handled through the message bus Jun 15 16:53:22 happened the other night Jun 15 16:53:39 jblebrun: but I agree, that a regular npapi plugin should work Jun 15 16:53:41 nebula: ah, missed that then Jun 15 16:53:50 yeah it was only a few of us at the time Jun 15 16:53:55 chrisa: nebula knows what he's talking about Jun 15 16:53:56 it seems I wasn't the first person to figure out this roaming thing Jun 15 16:54:09 anyone know when the next OTA update is coming? Jun 15 16:54:21 summatusmentis: Yes, you can exec stuff though I'm not sure if it relies on the shell or what. It's been a while since I've played with that, but I know there were some concerns because that code is not platform-neutral Jun 15 16:54:29 no, I was in that conversation Jun 15 16:55:02 bsiegel: intriguing, someone with a device should play with that Jun 15 16:55:06 ok, I misread the wiki entry Jun 15 16:55:07 Nevermind Jun 15 16:55:11 heh Jun 15 16:55:28 i was like..hmm... is my memory going? Jun 15 16:55:36 summatusmentis: I have one, I am going to work a bit on examining the plumbing and how mojo talks to java, and if I have a proof of concept I will try it when I get home today Jun 15 16:55:47 My initial glance gave the impression that it was considered an official response Jun 15 16:56:23 Is anyone docing what they find about the mojo services/dbus/java relationships? Jun 15 16:56:30 oh no no Jun 15 16:56:32 bsiegel: cool Jun 15 16:56:45 just a "strong suggestion" is how i took it Jun 15 16:56:45 jblebrun: sounds like bsiegel will be Jun 15 16:57:07 but it's appreciated that the strong suggestion was not made by lawyers Jun 15 16:57:22 chrisa: someone wrote an article referencing the wiki, and made it sound a bit more harsh Jun 15 16:57:34 bsiegel: Are you going to keep notes somewhere publicly viewable Jun 15 16:57:35 ? Jun 15 16:57:42 That engadget article is bullocks Jun 15 16:57:53 I'm not clear on how manadatory updates are stiffling for hackers Jun 15 16:58:04 We don't nuke the full fs, the image would be enormous Jun 15 16:58:10 I don't think they are, unless they break things Jun 15 16:58:16 engadget is sensationalist bs Jun 15 16:58:23 Engadget seems to have blown things way out of proportion Jun 15 16:58:31 Eng was pretty neutral/supportive pre-launch Jun 15 16:58:36 That's what media does,I guess Jun 15 16:58:36 Now the articles seem to have a lot more spin Jun 15 16:58:38 I will have to learn more about dbus. I have good background with linux but I have only a cursory knowledge of dbus at present. Jun 15 16:59:04 and even if the updates break things, so long as root isn't broken, we should be fine Jun 15 16:59:09 bsiegel: That's my problem Jun 15 16:59:17 I work with low-level manipulation of managed code though, so the Java part should not be an issue. Jun 15 16:59:24 bsiegel: it's a straightforward ipc protocol. Bind app methods to callbacks that can be accessed on the bus Jun 15 16:59:30 the engadget article does seem blatently wrong Jun 15 16:59:43 nebula: I don't know if "blatently wrong" is fair, Jun 15 17:00:03 it doesn't show an understanding of the situation, and it's rather sensationalist Jun 15 17:00:45 jblebrun: I'll keep some private notes but until I have something useful or interesting I won't bother anyone to get wiki access. Jun 15 17:00:47 but it doesn't say anywhere that updates will break things for hackers, or that Palm is being a huge harda** about tethering Jun 15 17:01:01 summatusmentis: but they do call us talented, so i digress ;) Jun 15 17:01:06 I'll write updates here though as I go through it Jun 15 17:01:11 nebula: they're journalists :) Jun 15 17:01:14 heh Jun 15 17:01:17 true Jun 15 17:01:24 nebula: All my friends at work are asking me why I'm not running the NES emulator yet :-| Jun 15 17:01:30 there goes that grain of salt! Jun 15 17:01:34 jblebrun: hah Jun 15 17:01:36 nice Jun 15 17:02:09 I'm really getting tired of iPhone owners Jun 15 17:02:15 <|wikka|> is the ps1 emulator video real? anyone got it working ? Jun 15 17:02:18 what can i do by enabling the optware package feed Jun 15 17:02:36 I think many of us have actually been extremely pleased with Palm's stance on our work. That is to say, by not going all Apple about it. Jun 15 17:02:56 |wikka|: looks fake to me Jun 15 17:03:10 there's no links to proof or code Jun 15 17:03:18 I think Palm's set a new precedent in hacker acceptance :-) Jun 15 17:03:23 and the OP seems to like posing "funny videos" Jun 15 17:03:24 At least, in my limited experience Jun 15 17:03:26 <|wikka|> so i heard, but there were links to downloads and instructions.. was wondering if anyoen bothered to verify it Jun 15 17:03:32 until they pee in our butts :( Jun 15 17:03:51 no links or instructions, just silly java references that mean nothing Jun 15 17:04:16 <|wikka|> oh :/ Jun 15 17:04:25 trust me, i looked Jun 15 17:04:27 :) Jun 15 17:04:42 look at the OP's other videos Jun 15 17:04:52 he seems to be "all of the sudden" coding Jun 15 17:05:12 i wish someone would send us some cool pre accessories Jun 15 17:05:23 but i don't have evidence it doesn't exist other than the lack of instructions/code Jun 15 17:05:35 I dunno about acceptance, but the fact that they've had a full week to pull the webos doctor or to send out cease and desist letters and haven't done anything bodes well. Not to mention the sheer pleasure it is that they dogfooded for all the internal apps, and because of that we can look at the source for something that is annoying or broken and fix it. Jun 15 17:05:37 ffor making the pre awesome Jun 15 17:06:09 i believe they will close it more if people abuse it too much Jun 15 17:06:13 and only then Jun 15 17:06:21 blau-mikeDG: I've been wishing some palm employee somewhere would see that I'm being useful, and offer to send me a Pre :-P Jun 15 17:06:36 heh Jun 15 17:06:37 nebula: I'd tend to agree, but they haven't said anything of the sort Jun 15 17:06:40 i was hoping for a free job :( Jun 15 17:07:00 Yeah, no kidding, where are the head-hunters? ;-) Jun 15 17:07:02 Sargun and I already tried that Jun 15 17:07:03 haha Jun 15 17:07:24 Hi Jun 15 17:07:31 yo Jun 15 17:07:33 hi Shan-10 Jun 15 17:07:35 Do we have any Pre Dev Wiki Administrators online right now? Jun 15 17:07:42 On another topic, has there been any headway with qemu? Jun 15 17:07:57 bsiegel: not that I've seen Jun 15 17:08:03 Shan-10: what do you mean by Administrators? Jun 15 17:08:16 owner? people with write acces? Jun 15 17:08:27 Owner or people that can edit the wiki Jun 15 17:08:40 Shan-1, what's up Jun 15 17:08:44 owner is not here, I'm not sure who all has write access Jun 15 17:09:58 what's going on ? Jun 15 17:10:02 yeah, wth? Jun 15 17:10:06 :) Jun 15 17:10:20 ? Jun 15 17:10:32 is there a problem with the wiki, Shan-10? Jun 15 17:10:54 <|wikka|> heh Jun 15 17:11:12 @nebula no, just an e-mail that I sent to Sargun. I'm talking to him right now. Thanks! Jun 15 17:11:19 ok cool Jun 15 17:11:26 interesting Jun 15 17:11:38 <|wikka|> nebula: just looked at the "instructions".. it *is* a bunch of gibberish .. i guess i should have actually read a sentence or two before Jun 15 17:11:54 bpadalino|work: what's interesting? Jun 15 17:12:03 * jblebrun waits for interesting fact Jun 15 17:12:06 gibberish until someone can write it better :) Jun 15 17:13:26 interesting fact: i can get a test java dbus app to connect ot the dbus app after i use dbus-send but not by itself :( Jun 15 17:13:35 not very interesting to other people i think Jun 15 17:13:54 It sounds interesting to me Jun 15 17:14:38 it says it failed to connect to the dbus and say Hello to the system or the session Jun 15 17:14:48 Has anyone here developed webOS apps? Jun 15 17:15:04 shan-10: evanpro has written a location tracking app Jun 15 17:15:05 shan-10, evanpro was working with mojo i recall Jun 15 17:15:12 @Sargun: I replied to your PM, not sure if you received it or not Jun 15 17:15:21 Shan-10: there's no SDK, most people have just modified existing ones Jun 15 17:15:23 I'm working on an app now Jun 15 17:15:30 but as others have said, EvanPro_ has :) Jun 15 17:15:35 hrm, I bought a touchstone charger, and I still forgot to charge my phone all weekend... luckily I have spare micro-usb cables at work Jun 15 17:15:42 someone was working on the streaming app... i wish that went public Jun 15 17:15:51 mdklein, I love the touchstone, don't you Jun 15 17:15:55 The SDK will be useful for docs and debugger... actually creating a new app is pretty straightforward Jun 15 17:16:02 i got the streaming app working Jun 15 17:16:05 Sargun: rub it in! Jun 15 17:16:10 Sargun: yeah, when I remember to use it :-p Jun 15 17:16:11 oh, yeah, zinge was playing with gstreamer Jun 15 17:16:21 Ive finally got the SDK and emulator as well. I'm not sure how to submit apps yet though, Palm hasn't posted anything about that in their developer portal. Jun 15 17:16:26 nebula, get one. Jun 15 17:16:28 the only mod to the apps i did was to make them all visible .. Jun 15 17:16:39 Sargun: sold out until the 30th :( Jun 15 17:16:40 so i see the streaming app and the dev mode enabler Jun 15 17:16:43 shan-10: What's yoru app idea? Jun 15 17:16:43 Shan-10, how did you get the SDK? Jun 15 17:16:45 for $49 that is Jun 15 17:17:02 I had a sprint premier coupon so got 25% off... I'm not sure it's worth full price, but it's nice Jun 15 17:17:07 Shan-10: remember the NDA, please ;) Jun 15 17:17:15 nebula, http://store.palm.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3584153 Jun 15 17:17:19 i am thinking of getting another touchstone for the office ... Jun 15 17:17:28 I wish it included cables... Jun 15 17:17:31 bpadalino|work, I have one for the office, and one for work Jun 15 17:17:43 it would make it easier to swallow the cost, if it included another wall-wart and cable Jun 15 17:17:44 I'm not sharing anything about the SDK and emulator Jun 15 17:17:54 Apparently the PalmServiceBridge object materializes out of nowhere ... Jun 15 17:18:09 bsiegel: It's probably a host object in webkit Jun 15 17:18:16 Yep that's what I am discovering Jun 15 17:18:45 sargun, do you have 1 microusb cable total with your purchase, or were there 2 in there ? Jun 15 17:18:50 one with the touchstone and one with the pre ?

Jun 15 17:57:57 Hello all. Is is possible to 'tether' a laptop's ethernet connection to the pre via wireless or bluetooth? I have my laptop connected to my work LAN, but our wireless LAN requires a cisco vpn client and vpnc won't work. So, I'd like to be able to access my work's internal network through my laptop. Does this make sense? Jun 15 17:58:25 you could with a router connected to your pc Jun 15 17:58:26 Gadfly, We don't talk about that... Jun 15 17:58:29 or is this subject too close to traditional tethering? Jun 15 17:58:35 that's the opposite of tethering Jun 15 17:58:41 but because pre cant connect to a ad hoc network its not gonna work Jun 15 17:58:43 err, wait, is it? Jun 15 17:58:58 yap Jun 15 17:58:59 I want my pre to utilize my laptops ethernet connection Jun 15 17:59:00 Sargun: he wants his laptop to provide network access to his pre Jun 15 17:59:03 not the other way around Jun 15 17:59:06 * chrisa watches people squirm Jun 15 17:59:06 Gadfly, Yum.. Install VPNC on your pre. Jun 15 17:59:13 chrisa, -_- Jun 15 17:59:18 blau-mikeDG: do you know for sure that the pre can't connect to ad-hoc networks? Jun 15 17:59:31 summa: not with the default setup Jun 15 17:59:36 maybe its technically possible Jun 15 17:59:37 Sargun: I did that, but our wireless network requires Cisco Clean Access and doesn't work with vpnc Jun 15 17:59:38 chrisa: well, there'd be less squirming if you weren't around all the time :-P Jun 15 17:59:41 (not true) Jun 15 17:59:49 but in practice its not doable right now Jun 15 17:59:56 at least to none of my ad hoc networks Jun 15 18:00:20 Gadfly, Buy: http://www.marvell.com/featured/plugcomputing.jsp Jun 15 18:00:25 Gadfly, run that in your internal network Jun 15 18:00:37 what is webOS? Jun 15 18:00:54 alt_23, Something amazing. Jun 15 18:01:02 Gadfly, then get a box outside, have it VPN to that, and advertise the routes to the internal network Jun 15 18:01:12 you guys have been talking bout it quite a lottt Jun 15 18:01:22 Gadfly, then install openvpn on your pre, and have it VPN to the box on the outside, and receive routes from the outside box. Jun 15 18:01:25 Gadfly, got it? Jun 15 18:01:28 whois alt_23 Jun 15 18:01:38 er... I can't type Jun 15 18:01:45 Sargun: yes. I've got a meeting to run to, but I'll try that, Thanks! Jun 15 18:01:55 that's all I wanted :) Jun 15 18:02:14 oh iphone dev Jun 15 18:02:46 iPhone dev? Jun 15 18:03:05 I wonder how many people have purchased a Pre because of us. Jun 15 18:03:16 haha Jun 15 18:03:20 Sargun: summatusmentis asked who is alt_23 and i said that he develops for iphone Jun 15 18:03:26 well i knew i was getting one months before it came out =p Jun 15 18:03:27 ah. Jun 15 18:03:32 * Sargun as well Jun 15 18:03:36 en0x: I was trying to hit /whois, and I can't type Jun 15 18:03:47 anyway i answered Jun 15 18:03:50 It was love at first CES Jun 15 18:03:52 thanks :) Jun 15 18:03:55 does your top of pre is loose?:> Jun 15 18:04:05 set novice on Jun 15 18:04:12 i checked like five of them and each is loose Jun 15 18:04:21 loose? Jun 15 18:04:22 huh? Jun 15 18:04:49 I assume he's talking about slider defects Jun 15 18:04:55 and the top slider being loose Jun 15 18:04:58 oh, i have no trouble with mine Jun 15 18:05:05 Anybody mind checking the section at the end of http://predev.wikidot.com/adding-the-ipkg-repository for me about converting to /var/opt? Jun 15 18:05:05 summatusmentis: right Jun 15 18:05:24 I wrote that up this morning based on doing it last night, don't think I missed any steps... Jun 15 18:05:24 I've connected to ad-hoc networks on the Pre. Jun 15 18:05:26 i checked few pres at sprint store and they all had that defect Jun 15 18:07:33 en0x: I visited a Sprint repair center and the guy indicated that it seemed to be a quality control issue with the Pres. he put me on a waiting list for a new one Jun 15 18:08:32 i spoke to a guy and i told him that i will come back in a week when they get new pres Jun 15 18:13:58 Aha! :-) Jun 15 18:14:11 bleh, too many cashews.

Now, if they're honey roasted... Jun 15 18:15:23 ?

Jun 15 18:23:19 so has anyone written an actual Luna capable app yet? or we still at the point where we're just loading our own software that we either have to launch via ssh or the web-shell app? Jun 15 18:23:20 Anyone get the mime-types working for PDF and WAV links? Jun 15 18:23:25 Baylink, I wrote a program that does emergency tracking Jun 15 18:23:34 * nebula is pushing the pre to the limits by compiling vlc player Jun 15 18:23:36 Eek! Cool, Sargun. Jun 15 18:23:45 someone else wrote an app that tracks himself, and publishes it :) Jun 15 18:23:53 psykoz: evanpro wrote a GUI app with launcher icon Jun 15 18:23:57 Submitted for your approval: Palm is crazy like a fox, and let that leak on purpose. Jun 15 18:24:19 jblebrun_irssi, cool ;) just checking Jun 15 18:24:35 It's quite easy to write new webOS apps. Jun 15 18:24:38 Bales: let what leak?

Jun 15 18:25:52 i wanna tinker with it Jun 15 18:26:10 Ok, back up a notch, then, and assume that their CLAF was *not requiring a signature on the image* Jun 15 18:26:20 I still think this was purposeful. Jun 15 18:26:30 * Sargun slaps Baylink around with a trout Jun 15 18:26:40 * Baylink ducks, just in time. Jun 15 18:26:44 Nyahh. :-P Jun 15 18:27:06 ok, seriously, I'm out Jun 15 18:27:10 * Baylink hasn't been in a channel full of hackers for far too long.

Jun 15 18:30:25 Baylink: i'm interested in developing/helping-develop libraries which make developer life easier Jun 15 18:30:48 useful abstractions make me happy =) Jun 15 18:31:06 You're familiar with the current layout, right tav? Have you seen the rough cuts on the Ora book? Jun 15 18:31:17 Baylink, the video/instructions said "have fun" so well we have been... :) Jun 15 18:31:29 yeah, i've bought the book Jun 15 18:31:40 The book is a little on the disappointing side, as a whole Jun 15 18:31:43 but it's got some useful tidbits Jun 15 18:32:33 Yeah; it was really early, but the block diagram is probably helpful for tav. Jun 15 18:33:48 just curious, has any tried rooting a pre but not going into dev mode? Jun 15 18:33:59 Baylink: talking about figure 1.9 or .... ? Jun 15 18:34:07 mikedg: models/alarm.js has an mp3 file reference Jun 15 18:34:51 * konsolePre is slowing getting a nice linux environment going on... dyndns + ssh + centerim... lol... thank goodness for that optware repository Jun 15 18:35:00 Baylink: this one: http://img.skitch.com/20090615-k96ej2uyf7htapcw742mcs29ye.png Jun 15 18:35:29 heh, dynadns. that's a good idea Jun 15 18:35:36 [private url -- pls do not share] Jun 15 18:37:46 I believe it was 1.9, yes; I subscribed to Safari for that book, but it's been a busy week. Jun 15 18:37:47 tav: channel is publically logged Jun 15 18:38:01 nebula: doh! Jun 15 18:38:45 though i think that was in the slides of the sdk webinar Jun 15 18:38:47 nebula: hmz, is there a way of doing off-log messages? in #esp, we use a leading # which the logger respects, in other channels, some loggers respect a leading [off] Jun 15 18:38:54 jblebrun:yeah ive been going around in circles tyrign to see exactly where it plays the sound, app-assistant takes a ring parameter then creates a new stage and pushes the ring scene onto it Jun 15 18:39:00 tav: check with rwhitby Jun 15 18:39:04 perhaps i jsut dont udnerstand sound yet Jun 15 18:39:32 nebula: thanks Jun 15 18:39:40 http://developer.palm.com/webos_book/book8.html works as a link to that image.

Jun 15 18:41:08 having worked in open source projects all the while, it's strange having to be cautious about what you share Jun 15 18:41:09 oo Jun 15 18:41:14 bsiegel, where did you find that Jun 15 18:41:19 tav, no. Jun 15 18:41:23 jble: figure out how to fade in the sound Jun 15 18:41:31 tav, have you ever worked with phone equipment before?

Get familiar with the consumer electronics industry, and especially phone networks Jun 15 18:43:42 Sargun: /^msg chanserv op $C $N; /wait 50; /ban $0 $1-; /^msg chanserv op $C -$N; Jun 15 18:43:45 :) Jun 15 18:44:15 All that shows is that I'm spending too much time on IRC Jun 15 18:44:37 Also somewhat interesting: sendMessage("palm://com.palm.lunabus/signal/registerServerStatus", "{\"serviceName\":\"com.palm.appinstaller\", \"subscribe\":true}", "subscribeToAppDeletions"); Jun 15 18:45:30 ok, I lied, I'm back Jun 15 18:45:52 hey, bsiegel, do you mind posting file paths and line numbers, and not direcl code samples? Jun 15 18:46:02 direct* Jun 15 18:46:07 I would but this is output from jad Jun 15 18:46:18 So other peoples output may be different Jun 15 18:46:23 I see, ok Jun 15 18:46:31 thanks Jun 15 18:46:32 oh come on Jun 15 18:46:34 sure thing Jun 15 18:46:41 its a single line in no context Jun 15 18:46:56 blau-mikeDG: it's still copyrighted (would be) Jun 15 18:47:13 i dont know abaout that Jun 15 18:47:13 actually it's only part of a line >.> Jun 15 18:47:20 i can come up with the same line Jun 15 18:47:24 to be all technical Jun 15 18:47:26 and im sure thousands of others can Jun 15 18:47:42 but eh Jun 15 18:47:46 blau-mikeDG: copyright, doesn't mean patent Jun 15 18:47:48 Summ: Think that falls under fair use ;) Jun 15 18:47:55 == Jun 15 18:48:13 Lurking_Grue: it may, I'm probably a bit anal Jun 15 18:48:30 How about adding jokes to the code and calling it parody. Jun 15 18:48:36 lol Jun 15 18:48:37 It's good that people are being extra-careful in here, even if it seems silly sometimes. Jun 15 18:48:51 but still, just good policy to give line numbers instead of code Jun 15 18:48:56 sendMessage("palm://com.palm.lunabus/signal/registerServerStatus", "{\"serviceName\":\"com.palm.appinstaller\", \"subscribe\":true}", "subscribeToAppDeletions"); //That's what she said! Jun 15 18:48:59 :) Jun 15 18:49:04 You can't really copyright down to the instruction level; that's not creativity, that's instructions. Jun 15 18:49:05 LOL Jun 15 18:49:07 ha :) Jun 15 18:49:10 You can't copyright recipies, either. Jun 15 18:49:21 Hee! Jun 15 18:49:25 Method and Apparatus for baking chocolate chip cookies? Jun 15 18:49:47 like lets look at this code sample Jun 15 18:49:52 infringer! that was my grandmother's recipe! Jun 15 18:50:07 http://predev.wikidot.com/stock-application-mods for the card messaging mod Jun 15 18:50:13 mikewx: You wouldn't believe what I had to do t get it, either Jun 15 18:50:14 ;-) Jun 15 18:50:23 the only lilne from the source is launchChatView: function(chatThreadId) { Jun 15 18:50:43 but its completely necessary Jun 15 18:50:54 eh shrug Jun 15 18:50:55 i give up Jun 15 18:51:00 theres no point to be made Jun 15 18:51:13 blau-mikeDG: I'm not disagreeing with you necessarily, we just want to be careful Jun 15 18:51:40 particularly since the code available to us doesn't really have a license attached to it Jun 15 18:52:25 which means it's not "open source" despite the source being available Jun 15 18:53:04 i dont wanna play anymore Jun 15 18:53:06 until i get an sdk Jun 15 18:53:11 bah Jun 15 18:54:58 I think I have discovered how to register a service with luna through Java Jun 15 18:55:33 please, share it Jun 15 18:55:51 indeed Jun 15 18:56:01 i've been playing with trying to get talking with the dbus using java, and i am hit or miss with actually connecting to the bus Jun 15 18:56:02 share it or it didnt happen! Jun 15 18:56:04 if I can write a java app that wraps some console exec code and exposes it through luna, we could write a mojo app that talks to the service to create a terminal Jun 15 18:56:08 :0) Jun 15 18:56:23 You can check it out yourself, open up usr/lib/luna/java Jun 15 18:56:34 and unzip scheduler.jar Jun 15 18:57:09 then in that directory under com/palm/luna, decompoile SchedulerService.class Jun 15 18:57:22 implements LunaServiceThread ? Jun 15 18:57:30 then super(com.palm.taskScheduler") ? Jun 15 18:57:35 whoops Jun 15 18:57:39 com.palm.yournamehere Jun 15 18:57:48 yes, seems to be Jun 15 18:57:52 hey guys, i'm back.. at work now. Jun 15 18:58:20 So each service is a LunaServiceThread which has Tasks Jun 15 18:59:14 oh, extends lunaservicethread Jun 15 18:59:24 not implements .. i was looking for an interface Jun 15 18:59:25 heh Jun 15 18:59:38 someone reverse liblunaservice.so for me Jun 15 18:59:45 and create a nice header Jun 15 19:00:37 mikedg: did you figure out the alarm thing? Jun 15 19:01:01 jbl: nope :( Jun 15 19:01:15 the only thing I am curious about now is whether the service needs to register itself with the system somehow, or whether the jar will just be loaded automatically at boot time, or what Jun 15 19:03:38 bsiegel, start where java starts - com.palm.serviceboot.ServiceBoot with argument "start" Jun 15 19:04:16 i've got a good source line of code to paste...

Jun 15 19:05:13 haha Jun 15 19:05:29 snare snare crash Jun 15 19:06:43 thanks, i'll be here all week .. try the veal parm!! Jun 15 19:06:53 ++ to the guy with the name "grue" Jun 15 19:07:02 you have been eaten by a ... Jun 15 19:07:55 always make sure there's enough light Jun 15 19:08:08 you're standing in front of a white house Jun 15 19:08:33 You have been eaten by white house intern. Jun 15 19:10:47 ok this had better work, i've been compiling vlc for 2 hours Jun 15 19:11:16 it will be dog slow :( Jun 15 19:11:31 is vlc really that slow to compile on the host ? Jun 15 19:11:35 * bdumm patpats nebula Jun 15 19:11:35 or are you using your pre to compile ? Jun 15 19:11:36 not sure Jun 15 19:11:42 we have faith in your beta testing skillz Jun 15 19:11:45 using the pre to compile Jun 15 19:11:49 ouch! Jun 15 19:11:50 good man Jun 15 19:11:53 since it has to use directfb Jun 15 19:11:57 er nebula Jun 15 19:12:00 yeah i know Jun 15 19:12:04 i know Jun 15 19:12:07 ;) Jun 15 19:12:16 so who wants to take the time to develop a text editor on the pre from within the text editor itself!!! Jun 15 19:12:20 :) Jun 15 19:12:22 you can't link into a directfb library when compiling on a cross compiler ? Jun 15 19:12:40 beyond me, my good man. Jun 15 19:12:50 hrmm .. Jun 15 19:12:54 bpadalino why all the work? Jun 15 19:13:14 what do you mean ? Jun 15 19:13:40 well he knows how to do it on the Pre, and in 2 hrs vs not knowing, cross-compile env may be wrong, etc. etc. Jun 15 19:14:11 keep talking, it's compiling faster Jun 15 19:14:22 (it's near the tail of it, obviously) Jun 15 19:14:24 figuring out the cross compiling environment in those two hours might be nice Jun 15 19:14:38 * bdumm chuckles Jun 15 19:14:49 first thing i installed was gcc.... Jun 15 19:14:50 compiling on the arm has got to be at least an order of magnitude slower than on the host Jun 15 19:15:03 well couple libs for gcc then gcc but.. :) Jun 15 19:15:09 oh yeah, it's not exactly zooooomy fast Jun 15 19:15:26 yea so? Jun 15 19:15:53 so how would one compile an app for armel from an i386? Jun 15 19:16:07 cross-compile Jun 15 19:16:09 nebula, install a cross compiler Jun 15 19:16:16 cool, i'll look into it Jun 15 19:16:26 like codesourcery toolchain Jun 15 19:16:30 I still think most of you are insane for compiling on the device Jun 15 19:16:35 someone who works at engadget loves the palm pre Jun 15 19:16:48 actually compiling on device gives best compatibility Jun 15 19:16:49 opie_: really? They must not have been there this morning Jun 15 19:17:00 chrisa: why's that? Jun 15 19:17:03 um Jun 15 19:17:05 heh Jun 15 19:17:25 roxfan: It's not like cross compiling is some arcane art Jun 15 19:17:47 chrisa, i agree with the insanity case Jun 15 19:17:56 guys, OpenEmbedded is a pretty easy way to get cross compliing, and it seems as though the Pre used it for building the subsystem Jun 15 19:18:05 http://landley.net/code/firmware/ Jun 15 19:18:20 palm used codesourcery from what i saw Jun 15 19:18:41 roxfan: I might be wrong Jun 15 19:19:34 can't you just use a standard arm-* toolchain? Jun 15 19:19:58 afaik there's no "standard arm-* toolchain" Jun 15 19:20:25 Sorry, standard was the wrong word. Jun 15 19:20:45 Let's replace it with "free and readily available" Jun 15 19:20:52 hmm so it seems they did use OE for package management but codesourcery for compilation Jun 15 19:21:05 sweet, I think I sold a coworker on the pre, maybe he'll be in here soon ;-) Jun 15 19:21:08 jblebrun: which one of the dozen or so? :)_ Jun 15 19:21:26 codesourcery lite is free btw Jun 15 19:21:34 try 'em all :-) Jun 15 19:21:56 problem with a random toolchain is library compatibility Jun 15 19:22:19 you need to pick one with matching libc Jun 15 19:22:20 calling conventions differ between them? Jun 15 19:22:25 no os x codesourcery package, huh ? Jun 15 19:22:30 oh yes, the ABI too Jun 15 19:23:55 There are a bunch of arm-none-linux-gnueabi tools in the root image. Jun 15 19:23:56 So i havn't go9t a Pre, but have been following this poretty closely - How do you guys feel Palm feels about what's gonig on here? Jun 15 19:23:58 fwtw Jun 15 19:24:16 yep, they're from coudesourcery Jun 15 19:24:27 benklop: there's a few of them here Jun 15 19:24:33 I mean, did they purposely open up the device, or did some of the devs just create some very convenient backdoors? Jun 15 19:24:37 benklop: they seem to be mostly ok with it Jun 15 19:24:43 There are no backdoors. Jun 15 19:24:46 it was pretty open Jun 15 19:25:05 It's just standard connectivity. Jun 15 19:25:10 very cool :) Jun 15 19:25:35 i'm excited partly because linux has been my platform of choice for everything since about 2002 or so Jun 15 19:25:49 bpadalino|work: scratchbox? Jun 15 19:25:55 cross compiler? Jun 15 19:26:03 Does sprint usually answer the phones (individual stores) Jun 15 19:26:12 They are yet to pick up in a week of trying Jun 15 19:26:14 scratchbox is another cross compile environment Jun 15 19:26:37 but i'm curious if this level of openness is going to lead to issues like being able to easily trick users of the phone into flashing firmware that will track their every move? Jun 15 19:26:48 hahaha Jun 15 19:26:53 that will be interesting Jun 15 19:27:23 benklop: it may, I hope not, but it may Jun 15 19:27:32 because that might get us shut down Jun 15 19:28:00 s/may/prolly will Jun 15 19:28:01 I mean, I love the idea of this much openness, but I know what i'm doing. i'm just worried for the other 90% of the population that will be using this phone... Jun 15 19:28:34 I guess I just wonder what sort of security is in place? Jun 15 19:28:55 nebula, it seems like the code sourcery thing is the way to go: http://www.codesourcery.com/sgpp/lite/arm/portal/release858 Jun 15 19:29:04 if palm knows what they are doing, we've got nothing to worry about Jun 15 19:29:12 bpadalino|work: cool Jun 15 19:29:15 I mean, ok, yes, linux so we don't need to worry too much about remote exploits over the air, (unless you stupidly leave telnet open and use it over the air or something) Jun 15 19:29:25 interestingly, it seems palm used 2007q3 release Jun 15 19:29:42 oh .. Jun 15 19:29:47 well then maybe that release should be used Jun 15 19:30:24 "Source: http://subversion.palm.com/main/nova/toolchain/codesourcery-2007q3/submissions/1/arm-2007q3-51-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2" Jun 15 19:30:30 nebula: hope they know as much as it looks like, and they aren't just really fumbling behind closed doors because they accidentally left it open Jun 15 19:30:43 oh i doubt that Jun 15 19:30:54 the contra code begs to differ ;) Jun 15 19:31:08 true Jun 15 19:31:12 benklop, from the presence of palm people in the channel and actually chatting it up instead of just "no comment" or lurking .. Jun 15 19:31:44 i can't get over that Jun 15 19:31:49 benklop, they said "have fun" so we are.... Jun 15 19:31:55 exactly! Jun 15 19:31:57 also, I have heard no mention anywhare about licenses for their software. how legal are any of the mods that don't just build upon the more standard linux stuff installed? Jun 15 19:32:12 how can .diff files be illegal? Jun 15 19:32:20 hehe Jun 15 19:32:22 nice Jun 15 19:32:26 benklop, mods to what? all the license info is on each device Jun 15 19:32:31 what more is needed? Jun 15 19:32:36 so it's pretty much all scripting? Jun 15 19:32:39 open source information . p d f Jun 15 19:32:56 yea it's all there more/less for the looking or whatever Jun 15 19:32:56 if i had one i'd be reading that right now... Jun 15 19:33:11 that's really incredible :D Jun 15 19:33:14 benklop: if you had what? Jun 15 19:33:18 a pre Jun 15 19:33:21 http://opensource.palm.com/ Jun 15 19:33:26 i'm iin the process of saving my pennies Jun 15 19:33:27 benk: palm has asked to not discuss some things (well mostly one thing afaik) Jun 15 19:33:31 benklop: you can go read the code in the rootfs already Jun 15 19:33:54 pdf is available on that site Jun 15 19:33:57 benklop: just go get the image mentioned in the rooting instructions on the wiki Jun 15 19:34:00 benk: so it's not a completely open "have fun" Jun 15 19:34:26 thats more carrier though Jun 15 19:34:37 mordX: that's probably okay, probably also shouldn't screw with the radio firmware either Jun 15 19:34:43 Man, the palm code is really inconsistent with tabs vs. spaces Jun 15 19:34:47 if it's carrier then sprint should be the one to stop it not palm askin to stop it.... Jun 15 19:34:55 * bdumm rolls eyes Jun 15 19:34:58 shrug Jun 15 19:34:59 palm didn't ask to stop, ugh. Jun 15 19:35:03 doesn't matter at the moment Jun 15 19:35:21 change topic! Jun 15 19:35:39 the "have fun" mentality is probably the best thing I can imagine.... Jun 15 19:36:19 Oh, does the GUI / user apps / actual webos stuff run as a restricted user, not as root? Jun 15 19:36:27 i'm really hoping the answer is yes... Jun 15 19:36:58 there are other users Jun 15 19:37:24 ie your typical passwd list... Jun 15 19:37:32 jblebrun, tabs vs. spaces is in the same vein as vi vs. emacs to me. Jun 15 19:37:48 benklop: the UI stuff runs inside Webkit, only interaction with the outside world is via message passing Jun 15 19:37:49 i'm a tabs person personally Jun 15 19:37:52 they have some special users like say luna but otherwise its more/less verbatim linux Jun 15 19:37:59 spaces all the way. Also, emacs. :) Jun 15 19:38:23 whether the services that respond to messages are running as root or not, I'm not sure Jun 15 19:38:37 benklop: I show 83 root owned processes and one pulse (pulseaudio) Jun 15 19:39:30 palm said that messing with fw and circumventing tos likely cause issues. that's enough to avoid those here at this point. we have a very good relationship with palm so far, lets not force them into a bad spot. Jun 15 19:39:35 ok, ran talk.py got an error and here I am Jun 15 19:40:12 ntropycycle.corp.neospire.net] has joined #noc Jun 15 19:40:12 usual culprits: usb not connected, drivers not installed, running win7 Jun 15 19:40:21 wrong paste buffer Jun 15 19:40:21 firewall enabled Jun 15 19:40:29 was it any of those Jun 15 19:40:29 .. pulse?? really? that's also rather amazing. that means if i turn playback of rtp streams suddenly I have low latency wifi headphones for my mythtv driven media center.... Jun 15 19:40:30 also needing to reboot after installing novacom Jun 15 19:40:48 usb connected, driver installed, xp64,no firewall enabled Jun 15 19:40:55 FWIW, I never had to reboot after installing novacomd. Jun 15 19:40:59 you installed the 64 bit drivers i assume Jun 15 19:41:05 yes Jun 15 19:41:06 not the x86 drivers Jun 15 19:41:12 what errors are you getting? Jun 15 19:41:12 ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '' Jun 15 19:41:20 oh, other usual culprit Jun 15 19:41:24 using python 3.0 Jun 15 19:41:24 Is novacomd running? Jun 15 19:41:26 instead of 2.6 Jun 15 19:41:28 oh Jun 15 19:41:30 deadchicken: i'm glad you all have that additude Jun 15 19:41:35 damn Jun 15 19:41:36 again with the "good relationship" how naive can you be? it's neutral at best. Jun 15 19:41:39 I can't read Jun 15 19:41:43 sorry about that Jun 15 19:41:43 yeah i had that problem too =p Jun 15 19:41:47 also, I had better buy one soon and start hacking before there's no hacking left to do Jun 15 19:41:47 how does fb contact sync happen on the pre? Jun 15 19:41:48 * Burnettj retreats Jun 15 19:41:48 python 3.0 breaks it? We should fix that. Jun 15 19:41:51 yeah Jun 15 19:41:54 it shouldnt Jun 15 19:41:54 but it does Jun 15 19:41:59 i found that out the hard way Jun 15 19:42:14 Guess I'll go yank 3 and install 2.6 Jun 15 19:42:18 Meh: engadget is on fire today: http://tr.im/ozVE Jun 15 19:42:18 thanks Jun 15 19:42:20 yeah that fixed it for me Jun 15 19:42:39 I was wrong Jun 15 19:42:49 just went to uninstall, python 2.6.2 is what is installed Jun 15 19:43:11 Check the task manager for a novacomd.exe process. If there isn't one, start the Palm Novacom service. Jun 15 19:43:37 so, with what you guys have said about webkit running the gui, it sounds rather difficult to actually port apps to using the webos card interface rather than just taking the device over. Jun 15 19:43:50 jblebrun, *facepalm* Jun 15 19:44:15 the process is running Jun 15 19:44:23 benklop: to get 'native' code to run within a webos card would involve reverse engineering their browser plugin API Jun 15 19:44:36 which isn't easy Jun 15 19:44:38 phone shoud be in usb mode, not media sync correct? Jun 15 19:44:43 mode doesn't matter. Jun 15 19:44:49 well damn Jun 15 19:44:58 sargun: that's not someone in here, is it? Jun 15 19:45:09 zsazs: yeah, i'd imagine. But I also imagine when the SDK comes out there will be at least some mention of it Jun 15 19:45:11 Check the device manager; does a Palm Novacom device appear? Jun 15 19:45:34 jblebrun, if it is, I will personally hunt them down, and smack that. Jun 15 19:45:35 You have enabled dev mode, right? Jun 15 19:45:36 asedeno_work_afk: it's there, but says the drivers are not installed Jun 15 19:45:43 s/that/them/ Jun 15 19:45:44 dev mode is enabled Jun 15 19:45:53 benklop: yeah, I hope so, but I'm not holding my breath Jun 15 19:46:00 try updating the drivers and letting it autodetect? Jun 15 19:46:04 I'll give it a shot Jun 15 19:46:06 benklop, depending on the service->design it just may be a frontend redesign and if they have a web interface already then a lot of work is done Jun 15 19:46:06 thanks Jun 15 19:46:38 If that doesn't work, remove and rescan. And while it shouldn't be necessary, this is windows so you can try rebooting. Jun 15 19:46:51 lol Jun 15 19:46:57 hehe Jun 15 19:47:04 (I'm failing at this afk thing...) Jun 15 19:47:16 _ironicafk Jun 15 19:47:39 hmm.. so interesting.... i can feel the money leaving my pocket already Jun 15 19:47:44 it took me 15 years of irc to realize setting afk just isnt worth it Jun 15 19:48:17 It reminds me I have work to do. =) Jun 15 19:48:21 bdumm: so you're saying that it might just be a standard webkit plugin they're using to do the entire GUI? Jun 15 19:48:31 does the pre have an irc client yet? Jun 15 19:48:35 if not, someone should get on that shit Jun 15 19:49:02 I tried mibbit in the browser but it was pretty broken Jun 15 19:49:06 client? hell i want ircd :) Jun 15 19:49:17 use irssi Jun 15 19:49:17 a basic IRC client would be pretty easy I'd think Jun 15 19:49:20 MTW: if what i'm hearing here is right, it sort of sounds like porting a javascript irc client to work with synergy wouldn't be hard Jun 15 19:49:37 benklop, besides the mojo bits everything else has been identified as other open source stuffs i believe, right everyone? Jun 15 19:49:39 nice Jun 15 19:49:54 Hey everyone. I just tracked down a Pre and will probably pick it up tonight... Before I do so any bad things about the Pre I should know? Anything at all? Jun 15 19:50:04 yeah, thats the thing, any palm-approved communication app would probably have to work with synergy Jun 15 19:50:14 there is some dsp code for video decoding and whatnot Jun 15 19:50:14 JohnPro, It's too sexy Jun 15 19:50:17 JohnPro: it does not yet print money Jun 15 19:50:17 JohnPro, besides the paper battery trick, no Jun 15 19:50:17 yeah john, battery life blows Jun 15 19:50:31 How many hours Jun 15 19:50:32 bsiegel: It might do that for Palm. Jun 15 19:50:32 paper battery trick? Jun 15 19:50:33 it does have alien technology Jun 15 19:50:34 John: It collects figerprints and smudges. Good for OC cleaning. Jun 15 19:50:34 Of real time use? Jun 15 19:50:35 paper battery trick? Jun 15 19:50:39 best thing to do about the battery is to run it down to where it shuts off.. Jun 15 19:50:40 JohnPro, make sure you get a touchstone Jun 15 19:50:45 prolly 3 hours of talk time Jun 15 19:50:46 then plug it in via usb and let it charge slow Jun 15 19:50:47 or so Jun 15 19:50:48 yea touchstone++ Jun 15 19:51:02 true, battery life is pretty bad if you leave instant messaging signed in Jun 15 19:51:09 :/ Jun 15 19:51:14 i disabled that crap off the bat Jun 15 19:51:16 I did my first charge up via usb, and my pre can go pretty much 48 hours without charging. Jun 15 19:51:17 screw IM Jun 15 19:51:18 i can text Jun 15 19:51:22 but as I understand, deep-cycling the li-poly battery does nothing Jun 15 19:51:26 If I dim screen is it better? Jun 15 19:51:33 barely Jun 15 19:51:34 its li-ion Jun 15 19:51:34 dim your screen, turn off gps Jun 15 19:51:34 a tochstone and 5 or so cabled to leave laying around places you frequent Jun 15 19:51:35 not li-poly Jun 15 19:51:35 Dimming the screen does help a little Jun 15 19:51:58 touchstone for the car would be cool Jun 15 19:51:59 turn off push and opt for 15-30 minute intervals on your email Jun 15 19:52:09 i look at the touchstone as the same as my power switch on my pc, the pc has a power cord, so why shouldn't the pre have a fancy one? Jun 15 19:52:12 hemna, already done Jun 15 19:52:16 hemna: wouldn't be too hard. just buy a usb to cig lighter converter Jun 15 19:52:16 bsiegel: does it have cups already installed? basically, how hard would it be to make it print? Jun 15 19:52:30 benklop, oh, god. Jun 15 19:52:30 ah yah that would work :) Jun 15 19:52:32 if you could carry around your PC would you expect the battery life to last very long if at all lol Jun 15 19:52:48 What is the paper tricj? Jun 15 19:52:49 benklop: No I am pretty sure cups is not included. Maybe it is in the optware repo though, Jun 15 19:52:51 For the battery? Jun 15 19:53:06 i'm still waiting for my goddamn invisibleshield to come in, though Jun 15 19:53:06 ugh. Jun 15 19:53:23 bsiegel: i guess an app could print to a remote cups server... i'm still thinking about your print money comment Jun 15 19:53:23 i got my spare battery today actually Jun 15 19:53:29 im taking the risk Jun 15 19:53:32 benklop, i didn't see cups stuffs but they have left lots of debian crapolas like irc, mail, news, etc users Jun 15 19:53:33 I should get a second touchstone to redo the housing on it so it fits in my car's ash-tray or something Jun 15 19:53:38 went with the old centro/treo 800w battery Jun 15 19:53:41 Battery paper trick? Jun 15 19:53:49 http://www.precentral.net/slider-crashes-inspire-macgyver-solution Jun 15 19:53:59 only 1k mah, but itll provide another 2-3 hours of talk time no problem Jun 15 19:54:18 there's a 1350 mah battery for the pre Jun 15 19:54:32 bdumm: it's debian based? minus apt i assume... Jun 15 19:54:33 yeah, but its $45 Jun 15 19:54:53 you can get a couple centro batteries and a charger for them for less than $15 on ebay Jun 15 19:55:00 wait for 2800mAh Jun 15 19:55:00 ;) Jun 15 19:55:08 oooh... drool Jun 15 19:55:09 Okay and someone says it gets dirty and needs OC cleaning Jun 15 19:55:12 whats OC cleaning Jun 15 19:55:13 dang, once I download that firmware and make it run in qemu, this could be literally anything. Jun 15 19:55:28 yeah theres a 1350 now that fits in the normal case, and a ~2000 planned that comes with a new back plate Jun 15 19:55:35 ill prolly just get 2x1350 Jun 15 19:55:39 and be done Jun 15 19:55:39 I really wish the touchstone had a place to put spare batteries and charge them like my old treo's cradle did Jun 15 19:55:45 j0sh: i sure hope they got that backplate for the touchstone Jun 15 19:55:49 you can get a battery charger Jun 15 19:55:52 benklop, have you seen the wiki? http://predev.wikidot.com/system:list-all-pages Jun 15 19:56:06 a new back plate would be awful :-/ Jun 15 19:56:11 bdumm: i beleive i read every page on that wiki :) Jun 15 19:56:22 I really like my current touchstone backplate Jun 15 19:56:32 extended one wouldn't have that nice feel Jun 15 19:56:40 :) Jun 15 19:57:02 i'll probably just opt for the 1350, unless the 2000+ one can do like neraly a week Jun 15 19:57:13 ogremustcrush: I wish everything were rubberized Jun 15 19:57:13 How long to go from no charge to full charge on TouchStone Jun 15 19:57:16 depends on how much larger it makes the device Jun 15 19:57:24 actually i'm probably gonig to, later tonight, take the line of questioning here and turn it into a blog post... my only problem is how not to get syrup all over my webserver Jun 15 19:57:30 benklop, even as just a mobile linux box its a lot of fun to play with..... Jun 15 19:57:33 I'll get a 1350 when you can get one for <$20 Jun 15 19:57:45 much less it has more than one network->services possibility... Jun 15 19:57:46 benklop: what's your blog url? Jun 15 19:58:02 jblebrun: intellilinux.info Jun 15 19:58:29 havn't written a whole lot, and i'm not a blog-every-day kinda guy Jun 15 19:59:13 but i'm the man dev of a qemu/kvm frontend and work a little on the kernel if i have an itch, as wel las kde Jun 15 19:59:40 so I like to think there's the potential for writing interesting stuff Jun 15 19:59:43 make a pre virtualization frontend app... Jun 15 19:59:46 i'd use it Jun 15 19:59:48 .... Jun 15 20:00:13 bdumm: i'm actually seriously considering adding other target support to qtemu now, because then it could easily emulate the pre Jun 15 20:00:32 AHHHHHH I REALLY DO NOT KNOW Jun 15 20:00:43 IPHONE 3GS OR PRE AND TOUCH BOTH Jun 15 20:01:00 ADVICE? Jun 15 20:01:04 just the Pre, buy a touchstone and take your best friend/partner out for nice dinner Jun 15 20:01:20 I promise I will take her out anyway Jun 15 20:01:23 :-D Jun 15 20:01:30 and if your new bff is the pre, well you'll save some more $$$ lol Jun 15 20:01:44 3GS or Pre and Touch both? - Money factor aside... Jun 15 20:02:11 JohnPro, Take me out for dinner. Jun 15 20:02:16 lawl, get a Pre and a Zune Jun 15 20:02:16 ipods stopped being interesting to me when they started getting worse at their core function, that is, playing music. Jun 15 20:02:28 i need the app store Jun 15 20:02:29 somwhere around the 3g ipod.. Jun 15 20:02:35 i got hundreds of bucks in apps Jun 15 20:02:36 legally Jun 15 20:02:45 JohnPro: just get the pre. with the pace of development and excitement that I'm reading ... the pre seems more limitless in possibilities than the iphone Jun 15 20:02:57 benklop, Limitless I say! Jun 15 20:02:58 i have too much money in iphone apps Jun 15 20:03:04 lol break the lockin!!!! Jun 15 20:03:05 i am getting an idevice Jun 15 20:03:05 oh, yuck Jun 15 20:03:12 so get that 32gb ipod touch too Jun 15 20:03:14 the question is 3gs or both pre and touch Jun 15 20:03:17 Pre needs more space Jun 15 20:03:23 pre and touch Jun 15 20:03:24 but its better at everything else than the iPhone Jun 15 20:03:39 I really like sprint's network so it's not even an option here... no at&t 3g, but great evdo coverage Jun 15 20:04:01 actually, since the processor is apparently the same, would it be possible to build an osx emulator ala wine to run iphone apps i wonder Jun 15 20:04:04 heh, after my discount, my sprint service is like $50/mo Jun 15 20:04:05 we need to try plugging a usb memory stick into the pre and using it for extra storage :p Jun 15 20:04:10 ogremustcrush: the 3gs has a hardware compass, which will probably make for some better GPS experience for some things Jun 15 20:04:11 So guys... CHOICE 1: iPhone 3G S... CHOICE 2: Package of Palm Pre and iPod Touch... Which Choice? Jun 15 20:04:15 if that works, then just tape it on the back :p Jun 15 20:04:16 on AT&T it would be close to $100 Jun 15 20:04:23 why both pre and touch? Jun 15 20:04:24 why do you need an ipod? Jun 15 20:04:34 i have too much money in iphone apps Jun 15 20:04:36 i wanna use them Jun 15 20:04:39 Pre and touch, fo sho! Jun 15 20:04:49 ya i'd say pre and touch Jun 15 20:04:54 best of both worlds :P Jun 15 20:04:59 JohnPro, silly question here imho Jun 15 20:05:01 good stuff keep answering guys :-) Jun 15 20:05:04 you're asking in a pre dev channel :-p you're results are going to be skewed Jun 15 20:05:10 :) Jun 15 20:05:14 Still I want your opinions Jun 15 20:05:17 :-) Jun 15 20:05:18 maybe he wants them to be Jun 15 20:05:22 I opine you'll be happy either way Jun 15 20:05:27 no Jun 15 20:05:30 what does 3GS really offer you? Jun 15 20:05:32 I have an iPhone, its great for music, but for web and phone... meh Jun 15 20:05:35 only happy if he gets a pre and touch Jun 15 20:05:36 EvanPro_, ping Jun 15 20:05:37 more headaches, promises etc? Jun 15 20:05:37 I had an ipod touch, until my gf decided to wash my gym clothes without checking pockets :( that was a sad day Jun 15 20:05:40 he probably tried asking in an iphone channel too, and the banned him Jun 15 20:05:53 lol Jun 15 20:05:57 No Jun 15 20:06:01 stupid txt message notification drive you insane Jun 15 20:06:03 Just here Jun 15 20:06:04 :-) Jun 15 20:06:14 mdklein_, I'll give you an iPod Touch, give me the girlfriend. Jun 15 20:06:26 nice Jun 15 20:06:29 Sargun: lol, I got a zune to replace it Jun 15 20:06:44 The girlfriend? Jun 15 20:06:44 Zune HD looks pretty cool Jun 15 20:06:44 How is the AIRAVE? Will it work on a college campus all around? Or only line of sight? Jun 15 20:07:10 dangit I have so many questions.... Jun 15 20:07:23 3GS no flash for taking pictures of your better half, pre has blinding flash lol Jun 15 20:07:25 If you think you're going to need an Airave to have good reception I would just pick a different network Jun 15 20:07:29 why are you asking all this here? Jun 15 20:07:33 so has anyone used lynx on the Pre yet? Jun 15 20:07:50 luckily the ipod was something I won at a conference... but yeah, nothing like leaving for a flight and finding out you have no music to play... Jun 15 20:07:51 jaguar lynx? Jun 15 20:07:52 to ssh into a WebOS device and run lynx Jun 15 20:07:55 would be great Jun 15 20:07:55 bdumm: Yeah, I think it's a luxeon-type high wattage LED Jun 15 20:07:57 The reason I am saying this is that my campus has NO SIGNAL Jun 15 20:07:57 er atari lynx Jun 15 20:08:08 that is why i want a pre so I can get sprint and the airave Jun 15 20:08:10 how good is it Jun 15 20:08:12 ogremustcrush: i'm running centerim (so lynx should work) Jun 15 20:08:13 airave won't really cover a campus... it's not line of sight, but it's also not a full tower Jun 15 20:08:19 lynx, the text based web browser Jun 15 20:08:25 what sort of kernel mods have they done? anything for device support that could be pushed back up? does the usb port support host as well as guest mode? is it hard to change? (modprobe probably I guess) Jun 15 20:08:27 how many square feet will i really get from it? Jun 15 20:08:40 ^AIRWAVE Jun 15 20:09:01 5,000 according to the FAQ Jun 15 20:09:12 I know it says UP TO Jun 15 20:09:16 JohnPro, dunno about there, but i am in the middle of the woodz, anywhere in my city etc is just fine, ie like say on the college campus Jun 15 20:09:16 The luxeons are awesome, but I would seriously discourage anyone creating a "flashlight" type app for it, since they put out a good bit of heat and you can easily fry the LED if it's not heatsinked well (and since it is for a flash only, I doubt it is) Jun 15 20:09:20 ON a college campus how many would I actually get? Jun 15 20:09:26 I don't have one, I have a tower near house and work Jun 15 20:09:35 woods and foothills i'll add... Jun 15 20:09:46 JohnPro: Why do you want an airave? Does your campus have bad network coverage? Jun 15 20:09:53 huh, should look at the tearapart photos to see how well the led is heatsinked Jun 15 20:09:53 Umm, there are a lot of different college campuses. Jun 15 20:10:06 ogremustcrush: I'm looking now Jun 15 20:10:11 aubilenon, YES. Not one of the four carriers has any service up there Jun 15 20:10:17 hah Jun 15 20:10:19 You ocasioanlly get a very weak signal Jun 15 20:10:34 So I wanna know how good airave is Jun 15 20:10:37 ok, so, vpnc overwrote my /etc/resolv.conf, and didn't change it back, so I can't do any dns lookups on my phone. Can anyone tell me what the default is? Jun 15 20:10:37 5000 square feet is about the size of a house. So you won't cover the whole campus with the airave Jun 15 20:10:41 eh, its mounted on a flex cable Jun 15 20:10:58 so, no the heatsinking probably sucks Jun 15 20:11:05 ok, well I guess i'll be back and try to be more help next time when I actualyl have a device... Jun 15 20:11:19 benklop, good luck and have fun... Jun 15 20:11:29 thanks :) Jun 15 20:11:32 you too Jun 15 20:11:34 5000 sq ft is more like 2 houses Jun 15 20:11:47 and try to keep sharing the fun! Jun 15 20:11:53 Gadfly: just use localhost 127.0.0.1 Jun 15 20:11:56 always Jun 15 20:11:56 Gadfly: okay, but it's way less than a dorm Jun 15 20:12:25 I think my dorm was 10 square feet, and I had to share it with another guy Jun 15 20:12:55 and they blasted the heat so high the windows were open all winter! Jun 15 20:13:10 If I had any programming chops, I'd try to hack up some thing where you could sync with iTunes over wifi Jun 15 20:13:16 I hate that stupid USB cover Jun 15 20:13:36 itunes does wifi syncing now? it's been awhile since I had an ipod Jun 15 20:13:44 nah, it doesnt Jun 15 20:13:47 the zune does Jun 15 20:14:07 mdklein: 10x1? :D Jun 15 20:14:14 but with enough hackery, one could write some sort of driver that emulated the ipod to itunes, and connected to a remote filesystem on the pre Jun 15 20:14:17 aubilenon: felt like it sometimes! Jun 15 20:16:14 gadfly: its set to "nameserver 127.0.0.1" Jun 15 20:16:25 thats all Jun 15 20:17:26 yeah, it appears to be running dnsmasq Jun 15 20:17:37 this is really starting to get annoying Jun 15 20:17:46 has anyone been able to root their pre on 64 bit xp Jun 15 20:17:47 ? Jun 15 20:18:17 just os-x and 64bit vista here :-/ Jun 15 20:18:38 datafirm, j0sh: Thanks guys! loopback works Jun 15 20:19:41 I have rooted from XP and Vista, both 64-bit. Jun 15 20:20:06 damn Jun 15 20:20:07 I am having bad luck... trying the graphic shell instructions on the wiki and I get "ImportError: No module named array" Jun 15 20:20:42 Lurking_Grue, Py2.6?

Jun 15 20:40:38 Anybody know where I can find python 2.6 ipk? Or at least know why my ipkg is getting 2.5? Jun 15 20:44:51 Found it ;) Jun 15 20:45:36 anyone know how often webos syncs to google? i added an event this am and it still has not shown up. :( Jun 15 20:46:50 datafirm: http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=188679 Jun 15 20:46:56 datafirm: may be relevant to your interests Jun 15 20:47:34 finally got around to rooting my Pre Jun 15 20:49:08 Hamzifer: thanks.. maybe its my google apps.. account. :-/ Jun 15 20:49:29 sounds like there are issues with the pre and gapps Jun 15 20:49:43 workarounds in that thread too though Jun 15 20:49:56 ok.. i'll keep reading.. I also have a gmail account i can use. Jun 15 20:50:08 remove/readd the gcal account basically Jun 15 20:50:13 steps on how to do that are listed there Jun 15 20:56:37 Hi everyone! I'm sort of stuck on a step 13b on Enable the Optware package and was hoping to get some help. Jun 15 20:59:51 Has anyone looked at adding Flickr (or another service) to the photo uploads? Jun 15 20:59:54 ahoy Jun 15 21:00:06 so tell me about this tethering thing Jun 15 21:00:28 Facebook & PhotoBucket are great, but it'd be nice to have some other choices. Jun 15 21:00:52 AtOurGates: not a bad plan.. Jun 15 21:00:52 johndbiggs: check the topic, we don't do teathering here Jun 15 21:00:55 johndbiggs: afaik, we can't discuss it in this channel Jun 15 21:01:05 I wonder if its build into their java components though. Jun 15 21:01:08 http://www.crunchgear.com/2009/06/15/palm-prithee-good-sirs-speak-not-of-palm-pre-tethering/?awesm=tcrn.ch_3rg&utm_campaign=techcrunch&utm_content=techcrunch-autopost&utm_medium=tcrn.ch-twitter&utm_source=direct-tcrn.ch#comment-1037886 Jun 15 21:01:11 i'll take a look later today. Jun 15 21:01:53 datafirm: I was hoping it'd be simple - on the order of changing the search providers. But hadn't heard anyone discuss it yet. Jun 15 21:02:01 i'd like the option to crop an caption facebook uploads Jun 15 21:02:25 does anyone know if sprint could be blocking irc on the pre? Jun 15 21:02:37 AtOurGates: while we'd have to implement the flickr api Jun 15 21:02:37 i don't see why they would, Binarytech Jun 15 21:02:37 grat Jun 15 21:02:40 great Jun 15 21:02:42 i got a web based irc ported into a pre app but it wont connect Jun 15 21:02:42 try mibbit.com? Jun 15 21:02:43 mikewx: yeah - not being able to title my upload to Facebook seems to be a miss. Jun 15 21:02:45 search is just a sting with a wildcard. Jun 15 21:02:48 thanks, guys. good talking to you Jun 15 21:03:16 Binarytech: can you connect through a web-based irc client? Jun 15 21:03:48 nope not through web base either. it just sits on connecting on both types of clients. the weeb based an app based Jun 15 21:03:52 Hrm. Jun 15 21:04:36 have you done any testing on the ports? Jun 15 21:05:24 no testing yet thats my next move Jun 15 21:05:36 it seems like the port the irc client is using wont allow trafffic. Jun 15 21:05:51 good luck on it. i'm looking forward to an irc client Jun 15 21:05:53 its using 6667 Jun 15 21:05:56 try the whole range Jun 15 21:05:57 wont go through Jun 15 21:05:59 6666-7000 Jun 15 21:06:26 to at least see if those are open. Jun 15 21:06:28 bbl. Jun 15 21:07:36 Test Jun 15 21:07:44 lols Jun 15 21:09:59 I wonder if the recently leaked [censored] guide was leaked from Pre Dev Wiki. Anyone know? Jun 15 21:11:08 what are you talking about? Jun 15 21:11:30 t e t h e r guide Jun 15 21:11:34 i assume Jun 15 21:11:59 ugh, I see Jun 15 21:12:08 is there some keyword filter here that automatically makes sprint or palm mad if we even say certain words? Jun 15 21:12:27 no keyword Jun 15 21:12:46 so what's with all the [censored] and spaces Jun 15 21:13:25 I am pretty sure they don't care whether we talk about tethering, so long as we don't provide a way for people to do it. Jun 15 21:13:31 clever ways of getting around topics we generally consider not ok, I assume *rolls eyes* Jun 15 21:13:37 It's the "T" word. Im not allowed to say it otherwise I think I'll get banned. Jun 15 21:13:46 Tomato? Jun 15 21:13:53 lol Jun 15 21:13:58 tremors, aka the best movie ever made Jun 15 21:13:58 *sigh* Jun 15 21:14:00 "the" actually Jun 15 21:14:22 ok, here's the thing. conceptually, talk about abstract tethering all you want Jun 15 21:14:25 Oh, I know, taboo! Jun 15 21:14:40 except, abstract tethering talk usually leads to non-abstract tethering discussion Jun 15 21:14:43 I like to tether in the bedroom. Jun 15 21:15:06 lol Jun 15 21:15:08 let's talk about tethering Jun 15 21:15:11 i love to hack tethering Jun 15 21:15:15 what about you guys Jun 15 21:15:25 Oh no.. someone said the "t" word. Jun 15 21:15:26 can we just call it 'twittering'? Jun 15 21:15:26 I like to play tetherball on the playground. Jun 15 21:15:38 liz: good idea Jun 15 21:15:40 where are downloaded apps located? Jun 15 21:15:47 I'll write a "twittering" app Jun 15 21:15:48 i'd really like to know how to twitter on my pre :) Jun 15 21:15:49 WDS-Scott: /var/palm/applications Jun 15 21:16:05 Can anyone program an app that can make it easier to root the Pre? Or even automate it? Jun 15 21:16:05 summatusmentis: is that the only subject that palm has asked us to avoid? Jun 15 21:16:14 jbleburn_irssi: that explains it -_- Jun 15 21:16:15 It's pretty simple. Jun 15 21:16:21 jbleburn_irssi: ty Jun 15 21:16:25 np :-) Jun 15 21:16:36 i guess we could build a robot that would download the image and load it for you Jun 15 21:16:37 aubilenon: tethering, pasting of copyrighted code, pretty much anything that will break NDA, licenses, or ToS Jun 15 21:16:39 twethering Jun 15 21:16:41 Shan: did you follow the instructions on the wiki? Jun 15 21:16:41 I mentioned tethering to a co-worker and they thought I was taking about a lack of lanyard on the pre. Jun 15 21:16:53 I would like to tweak the browser to allow image downloads :-) Jun 15 21:16:59 @xandrake: Yes but it would still be nice to have an automated program that does this. Jun 15 21:17:14 iPhones have one that does it, it would be nice for Palm Pre to have one too Jun 15 21:17:25 does that mean some people here have signed NDAs? Jun 15 21:17:31 Aye, good call. Jun 15 21:17:45 hmm Jun 15 21:17:55 people here don't want to get locked out of their Pre after the next update Jun 15 21:17:55 aubilenon: there are some palm employees here, and there are some people who probably have the SDK Jun 15 21:18:06 oh yeah! Jun 15 21:18:16 Does the SDK prevent developers from rooting? Jun 15 21:18:32 what you mean by that shan Jun 15 21:18:44 Shan: even if it did, that's probably NDAd Jun 15 21:18:50 jblebrun_irssi: sure it isn't usr/palm/applications? Jun 15 21:19:05 /usr/palm/applications is where the pre-installed apps are Jun 15 21:19:10 can't seem to cd there Jun 15 21:19:10 * summatusmentis is off to eat Jun 15 21:19:11 zz Jun 15 21:19:13 Nevermind @binaytech, I guess I'll have my brother root my pre just in case. ;) Jun 15 21:19:19 be good kids :P Jun 15 21:19:34 I'd imagine the SDK doesn't need a dev mode since it kind of probably already runs in a kind of dev mode. Jun 15 21:19:37 can anyone help me out with step 13b? stuck at this point Jun 15 21:19:40 Oh, yeah, Jun 15 21:19:42 sorry Jun 15 21:19:44 Shan: iphone's been out a long time, devs have had a long time to develop nice front ends to these tools. pre's not been out all that long, give it time :) Jun 15 21:19:46 it's /var/usr/palm/applications Jun 15 21:19:53 lols thanks again Jun 15 21:19:54 For the downloaded apps Jun 15 21:20:08 I am really curiouswhat the SDK looks like. I hope it's available soon. Jun 15 21:20:27 the people who have the SDK are they allowed to talk about how it works?(i dont have it just wondering if we can get info) or is that NDA? Jun 15 21:20:54 Just a document listing the available service URIs and message payloads would be more than enough for most of us. Jun 15 21:21:12 Nick___, what problem are you having with 13b? Jun 15 21:21:47 it says to create a file named but doesnt say what to name it, it just says "/etc/event.d/openssh" Jun 15 21:21:54 bsiegel: you mean grep "palm://" -r -C4 * Jun 15 21:21:58 isn't enoguh? ;-) Jun 15 21:21:59 then it has a long script underneath it Jun 15 21:22:11 that is hte name of the file: /etc/event.d/openssh. Jun 15 21:22:15 jeje Jun 15 21:22:33 correctly, that is the name and the path of the file. Jun 15 21:22:54 ah ok, and the script underneath it is what goes into that file? Jun 15 21:23:13 correct Jun 15 21:23:25 jblebrun_irssi: Yep that's how Ive been doing it so far, not exactly ideal or complete Jun 15 21:23:52 Yes, I was just kidding :-) Jun 15 21:24:36 thx 4 the info will try i tnow Jun 15 21:25:13 anyone running os x? Jun 15 21:25:17 <-- Jun 15 21:25:25 What you need Scott? Jun 15 21:26:46 I'm rooted, how would I copy directory to my desktop (/Users/*/Desktop) Jun 15 21:26:52 morning Jun 15 21:27:00 is java on the pre the same as on any other os? Jun 15 21:27:06 does scp not work? Jun 15 21:27:23 i ask b/c im taking a class on java programming and vbnet but i know vb wont work Jun 15 21:27:59 acekard: If you're talking about programming a normal webOS application, the language you'd be using is JavaScript, not Java. Jun 15 21:28:17 Binarytech: even saying whether you have the SDK or not is apparently a breach of the NDA. Jun 15 21:28:24 oh so there is a difference? Jun 15 21:28:44 acekard: A popular quote is: "JavaScript is to Java as carpet is to car" Jun 15 21:28:54 Using opt under loopback only causes a problem with media sync? Jun 15 21:28:55 lol Jun 15 21:28:57 hahah okay Jun 15 21:29:03 i.e., they're essentially completely different languages, other than a few surface syntax similarities. Jun 15 21:29:21 right i know what you mean Jun 15 21:29:28 thanks for the heads up though Jun 15 21:29:34 sheesh, is scp not on the pre? Jun 15 21:29:45 I just tried...no joy. Jun 15 21:29:59 That said, there is a Java VM installed on the Pre, and a lot of system services are written in Java. But for consumer apps written for webOS, everything is HTML+JavaScript Jun 15 21:30:02 is scp even on windows by default yet? Jun 15 21:30:10 newp Jun 15 21:30:15 xandrake: did you install dropbear? Jun 15 21:30:21 Who uses windows, anyhow? Jun 15 21:30:31 I installed it, yes. Jun 15 21:30:40 ssh'ed into the pre @root now. Jun 15 21:31:03 well if youre testing security flaws you tend to use windows alot... Jun 15 21:31:12 @liz: lol Jun 15 21:31:53 You can just initiate the scp from the desktop machine Jun 15 21:32:10 ah. Jun 15 21:33:54 so I just took a 14 hour coma Jun 15 21:33:59 it was very relaxing Jun 15 21:34:21 i'm in need of my daily coma as well Jun 15 21:34:33 daily coma? Jun 15 21:34:43 hahah i think u mean nap Jun 15 21:34:48 gotta get some sleep man Jun 15 21:34:56 and 14 hours is _not_ a nap ;) Jun 15 21:35:35 lol how did my nick get changed Jun 15 21:36:47 anyone figured out how to get an image from the camera? Jun 15 21:37:00 I was thinking about writing a webcam type script for the Pre Jun 15 21:37:10 then put my Pre on my r/c airplane :P Jun 15 21:37:29 @ryanworl: you must have had a power nap ;) Jun 15 21:37:39 hemna: that's the best use of a cellphone ever. Jun 15 21:37:46 So, is John Biggs from the crunchgear article here? I'm happy to talk to him if he is. Jun 15 21:37:57 I'm going to work on that.... Jun 15 21:37:59 I'm happy to talk to him if he's here too! Jun 15 21:38:08 xandrake_: can i pm you real quick Jun 15 21:38:18 You may, yes. Jun 15 21:40:29 crunchgear wrote an article ? Jun 15 21:41:15 bpadalino|work: http://www.crunchgear.com/2009/06/15/palm-prithee-good-sirs-speak-not-of-palm-pre-tethering/ Jun 15 21:41:24 hemna: Ohh! A spectacular idea. Though, with my flying skills, I think it'd likely be the end of my pre. Jun 15 21:41:59 heh Jun 15 21:42:08 I'm going to try and write the scripts tonight Jun 15 21:42:12 What aircraft are you planning to mount it on? Jun 15 21:42:14 oh, i see the article Jun 15 21:42:25 I have a slowstick that already has a gimbal on it for AP Jun 15 21:42:47 is anyone working on programming or refactoring existing apps and looking for help, i'm a rather experienced js programmer Jun 15 21:43:40 Has anyone successfully bypassed the activation? Jun 15 21:45:37 Ajaxify: http://predev.wikidot.com/bypassing-activation Jun 15 21:46:01 bsiegel: I've been helping maintain that. It doesn't currently work. Jun 15 21:46:24 So when we log in with our custom created user (from rooting) are we chrooted? Jun 15 21:46:36 woot succesfully rooted through putty Jun 15 21:46:41 xandrake_: no Jun 15 21:46:46 Currently, the phone flashes but never goes past the palm logo screen. Jun 15 21:46:49 you've just logged in using a different user Jun 15 21:47:07 Ok, why then -- in theory -- can I not mount an SFTP session? Jun 15 21:47:19 do you have sftp installed? Jun 15 21:47:49 Ajaxify: Oh. In that case I have no further information for you, aside from recommending you decompile the class files in usr\lib\luna\java\accountservices\com\palm\accountservices and see what is going on there Jun 15 21:48:33 finally i can change the dialer background lol Jun 15 21:48:54 bsiegel: given this blog post, I don't think its that difficult. :-\ But I'll have a look. http://blog.steventroughtonsmith.com/2009/06/wwdcpalm-pre-rollercoaster-week.html Jun 15 21:48:57 hmm, is sftp a simple install? Jun 15 21:49:12 I think having ftp access to the FS would be a great benefit. Jun 15 21:49:27 opei: The next thing I'd like to work on is making images savable from the web browser. Jun 15 21:49:28 xandrake_: there's a wiki page on it Jun 15 21:49:34 >der< Jun 15 21:49:40 search pwnt me Jun 15 21:49:52 xandrake_: yeah, d'you have optware setup? Jun 15 21:49:55 visual file system is always nice Jun 15 21:49:55 oh, right Jun 15 21:49:56 wait... Jun 15 21:50:00 I do have optware. Jun 15 21:50:15 I followed the rooting process and optware was part of it. Jun 15 21:50:42 l2read xandrake :) Jun 15 21:50:48 I found the wiki section Jun 15 21:50:50 hemna: I await your videos with great anticipation. Jun 15 21:51:04 I'm looking through the camera app source Jun 15 21:51:16 trying to figure out how to simply snap a photo Jun 15 21:51:19 thx btw for everyone that made the instructions and came through on this :P Jun 15 21:53:14 got rid of the rounded corners on apps Jun 15 21:53:18 oh, i see john biggs stopped in around 5p and was here for 3 minutes Jun 15 21:53:23 still appear in card view tho :/ Jun 15 21:55:09 blau-mikeDG: nice! Jun 15 21:55:26 hemna: baby steps I suppose. Jun 15 21:55:39 and i changed the ripple to a black x with a dot Jun 15 21:55:58 Is reeder29 from the wiki here? Jun 15 21:55:58 yah Jun 15 21:56:14 anyone try one of the light webservers on the Pre ? Jun 15 21:56:24 some have Jun 15 21:57:09 hemna, I got lighttpd running Jun 15 21:57:24 nice ok Jun 15 21:57:27 is there anything I should do after I successfully rooted the pre? or can i go ahead with dialer background editing Jun 15 21:57:27 I think php works with that Jun 15 21:58:04 nikc___ Jun 15 21:58:13 go ahead and edit the dialer Jun 15 21:58:19 Someone installed nginx Jun 15 21:58:22 make sure u make the fs writable first Jun 15 21:58:24 I messed something up when I created my sudoers file. any ideas on how to get back to root? Jun 15 21:58:28 ok, thx Jun 15 21:58:42 kaek: novacom? Jun 15 21:58:49 rootfs_open -w correct? Jun 15 21:58:51 http://mypalmpre.homelinux.com:880/ Jun 15 21:58:56 yeah, same way you got it the first time. :) Jun 15 21:59:00 rgr Jun 15 21:59:05 yeah Jun 15 21:59:10 thx Jun 15 21:59:24 jblebrun_irssi: very cool Jun 15 21:59:38 I'm not sure who that is. I think it's someone in here... Jun 15 22:01:06 doesn't scp normally come w/ openssh ? Jun 15 22:01:17 doesn't look like I have scp...openssh is installed Jun 15 22:01:22 you have to install it Jun 15 22:03:48 hemna: ipkg-opt install openssh should install /opt/bin/ssh Jun 15 22:03:53 and /opt/bin/scp Jun 15 22:04:12 ah...duh Jun 15 22:04:19 /opt/bin isn't in the path by default then Jun 15 22:04:20 cool Jun 15 22:04:22 thnx Jun 15 22:06:34 this isn't really a webos internal, but has anyone picked up one of those bodyguardz film covers yet Jun 15 22:07:45 crashx-, i went with the ghost armor for my wife and i and have been pleased so far. Jun 15 22:08:03 yea im using bodyguardz Jun 15 22:08:14 fubard the front the first time, second one looks much much nicer Jun 15 22:08:24 just a cpl bubbles im waiting for to dissapear Jun 15 22:08:28 i ordered ageneric invisibleshield (still the 3m stuff though) but ithasn't arrived yet Jun 15 22:08:41 jblebrun_irssi: Clearly you need to submit that link to Slashdot and see how long it takes for your Pre to melt. Jun 15 22:09:16 i ordered a invisibleshield, but i have a phantomskinz on it now, which isn't too bad. my girlfriend got ghostarmor on her pre. Jun 15 22:09:17 Hello Jun 15 22:09:24 I put a Phantomskinz on mine, and besides the retarded name, it seems to work well. Jun 15 22:09:48 i like the cut of the phantomskinz the best out of the 3. Jun 15 22:09:50 anyone have an issue with SSH through EV-DO connection by any chance? Jun 15 22:10:01 mykael: slightly laggy? Jun 15 22:10:18 i was able to connect to it initially Jun 15 22:10:27 but when I rebooted i was not able to again Jun 15 22:10:38 i followed the dropbear package Jun 15 22:11:22 crashx-, friend of mine just showed me the bodyguardz on his phone, actual screen response seems like it improved with it really Jun 15 22:11:28 so i feel silly asking such a newb question, but i'm trying to follow the directions to root my pre and i'm hund up on the part where is says to run talk.py inside subversion. I installed tortoiseSVN and I 'pulled down' all the files but i don't know how to 'run' Jun 15 22:11:54 if you installed python (which I'm sure you did) Jun 15 22:11:58 you just type talk.py in dos Jun 15 22:11:59 i actually ran talk.py inside python Jun 15 22:12:02 or in explorer right click -> run Jun 15 22:12:39 mykael: can you access root via novacom/novaterm? is dropbear running? checked your IP? Jun 15 22:12:51 i just dbl clicked on talk.py after installing python Jun 15 22:12:53 yeah i can access root Jun 15 22:13:00 psykoz: it's not dos, it's cmd.exe Jun 15 22:13:06 via novaproxy Jun 15 22:13:24 crashx-: what psykoz said.. the covers seem to make the screen response a bit better.. also i tested the "self healing" on the phantom skinz, and it works. i put a slice in mine with fingernail clippers, and about 9 hours later i couldn't see where it scratched. Jun 15 22:13:24 hmm let me see Jun 15 22:13:37 thx Jun 15 22:14:25 AtOurGates: It's not my Pre ;-) Jun 15 22:15:00 Jblebrun_irssi: So what are you waiting for? Jun 15 22:16:01 mykael: Did you check for an updated EvDO IP address after you rebooted? Jun 15 22:17:17 yeah Jun 15 22:17:25 Ok so i am running dropbear currently Jun 15 22:17:37 and i also modified the event file to remove -i eth0 Jun 15 22:17:45 for both of the pre-start commands Jun 15 22:18:13 what is eth0 for? Jun 15 22:18:35 WiFui Jun 15 22:18:37 wifi Jun 15 22:18:40 wifi Jun 15 22:18:53 im always on wifi @ home so i just ssh iwth that ip Jun 15 22:19:15 Haha... I heard "wifi... Wifi... WIFI" in a major chord arpeggio ;-) Jun 15 22:19:28 ok..my next question...running Win 7RC turned off windows firewall, avast, and windows defender...still getting [Errno 10061] Jun 15 22:19:35 yea i actually want to ssh with the EVDO IP Jun 15 22:20:08 You using putty? Jun 15 22:20:16 yeah Jun 15 22:20:16 do we have to stay in dev mode anytime we want to make changes? Jun 15 22:20:23 I had no luck sshing with the EVDO ip for some reason Jun 15 22:20:32 what kind of IP are you getting from the EVDO? Jun 15 22:20:37 c class Jun 15 22:20:40 xandrake_: did you change the default iptables ? Jun 15 22:20:40 still trying to run talk.py Jun 15 22:20:41 ie, is it actually a publically routed internet ip? Jun 15 22:21:02 yeah me neither xandrake_ at first i did Jun 15 22:21:06 or part of the private non-internet-routed ranges? Jun 15 22:21:28 i mean its IP4 Jun 15 22:21:37 if thats what you mean :( Jun 15 22:21:46 not sure what the ranges are Jun 15 22:21:51 it's not. could you tell me what the ip is? remove the last octet if you're concerned Jun 15 22:21:52 yea, a c-class IPV4 addy Jun 15 22:22:02 and dropbear is running on port (222 is default)? Jun 15 22:22:12 172.120.84.xx Jun 15 22:22:18 72.57.146.xxx Jun 15 22:22:19 222 is correct Jun 15 22:22:29 port 222 correct ;-) same Jun 15 22:23:26 i even tried re running the job (webos-sshenabler) Jun 15 22:23:36 public IP at least, but it's possible sprint's filtering new inbound connections Jun 15 22:24:06 I'd much rather connect with WIFI for personal h4x things anywho.. Jun 15 22:24:11 alrighty then...totally iggyd...anyone want to pm with a beginner and help me get talk.py to run? Jun 15 22:24:23 the only reason I'd want to ssh with EVDO ip is for a security app I want to write. Jun 15 22:25:15 i am just curious on my end why i can't ssh with EVDO, but i was able to before Jun 15 22:25:25 dropbear or openssh Jun 15 22:25:34 any preferences? Jun 15 22:25:49 dropbear is what i am using, haven't tried openssh Jun 15 22:26:05 <-- openssh :D Jun 15 22:27:04 member:xandrake_ Jun 15 22:27:09 ftw Jun 15 22:29:19 xandrake_: can you update the wiki page so that the openssh upstart script allows root login with keys only? Jun 15 22:29:48 I have no password, good sir. Jun 15 22:30:59 Been a lurker thus far. haha Jun 15 22:31:02 I'll make an acct. Jun 15 22:31:19 rwhitby: Do you have the ability to grant wiki write access? Jun 15 22:31:45 Oops, meeting time, bbiab Jun 15 22:32:06 jblebrun_irssi: just /msg'd you the pw Jun 15 22:33:29 eek -- dinner time. catch you all later. Jun 15 22:33:32 * steviebuns finds that the Pre makes a less than convincing iPod as far as Amarok is concerned.... Jun 15 22:33:46 * xandrake_ is idling. Jun 15 22:33:54 I noticed I'm getting a lot of root system messages from the Pre when I don't have it plugged in to power.... Jun 15 22:34:02 it's going to sleep and waking up frequently Jun 15 22:34:45 guess that's it's attempt to save power? Jun 15 22:36:09 the messages are from wall. Jun 15 22:38:11 is the dataimport program a default option? mine was turned off... Jun 15 22:38:40 well, the messages are from powerd via wall Jun 15 22:38:59 annoying as poop, too Jun 15 22:39:23 chmod ugo-x wall .... Jun 15 22:40:14 I tried out w5mw's roam only patch. works well. found one small display bug when going back into the phone preferences screen, going to take a look at the code after i eat Jun 15 22:40:34 yah annoying Jun 15 22:40:40 there is a "real" way to turn off system messages, I forget what it is, though Jun 15 22:41:13 something with ear muffs or something sticks in my head. used to use it to ignore talk requests back in the day? Jun 15 22:41:32 something -n I think Jun 15 22:42:16 mesg -n Jun 15 22:42:29 DESCRIPTION Wall sends a message to everybody logged in with their mesg(1) permission set to yes. Jun 15 22:42:32 bah, too slow Jun 15 22:42:33 oops "mesg n" - dunno if it works on pre Jun 15 22:43:41 anyone hack together a dynamic dns client overnight? Jun 15 22:43:59 http://predev.wikidot.com/adding-the-ipkg-repository Jun 15 22:44:02 13b. Jun 15 22:44:04 umm Jun 15 22:44:06 pre pullingj@castle:/var/home/pullingj$ mesg is y Jun 15 22:44:11 what do you mean Jun 15 22:44:26 would i cd /etc/even.d Jun 15 22:44:33 like afraid.org/dyndns/zoneedit? Jun 15 22:44:53 then pico openssh and drop that code in there? Jun 15 22:45:11 MyNameIsJon, ez-ipupdate works fine and i've been using it for several days without incident. Jun 15 22:45:18 ^in optware Jun 15 22:45:19 oc80z: yes. my evdo IP changes quite frequently Jun 15 22:45:50 I'll check that one, was looking for a scipt option after the stories of issues with ddclient from optware Jun 15 22:46:10 may be we can use INADYN Jun 15 22:46:19 I used to have my ppp-up script do that stuff back in the day Jun 15 22:46:32 i tried a couple of them and this one just works, take ~500k for the 2 seconds an update takes, put it into /etc/ppp/ppp-up.d (or some such) Jun 15 22:46:39 MyNameIsJon: check the logs as yesterday someone indicated they had written one and another person indicated there was command that could easily be altered Jun 15 22:46:40 looks like capturing an image isn't super straight forward Jun 15 22:47:05 lots of hacks even documented in palm's code to suck an image off the camera Jun 15 22:47:08 * rwhitby bbl Jun 15 22:47:10 * konsoleX is using ddclient Jun 15 22:47:23 I wrote a script, but as dreadchicken said, ez-ipupdate works, and is far simpler Jun 15 22:47:48 I need one keeps some kind of status on the device. my provider will lock your account if you "update" an ip that didn't change too much Jun 15 22:47:48 I think I've already deleted the script Jun 15 22:47:59 I'll check ez-ipudate Jun 15 22:48:00 ezupdate has no deps Jun 15 22:48:04 yeah, that's what my script did Jun 15 22:48:10 i am syncing now but Jun 15 22:48:16 may be we can use INADYN?? Jun 15 22:48:23 http://www.inatech.eu/inadyn/ Jun 15 22:48:35 yes ofc we can use that. Jun 15 22:48:41 hrmm, now I need a way to keep the pre from shutting down wifi when it sleeps Jun 15 22:48:41 oc80z, haven't tried it...got to ez-ipupdate and had a usable solution and stopped. Jun 15 22:48:53 well, i guess not if I get dynamic dns working Jun 15 22:49:16 MyNameIsJon: optware perl and ddclient works fine Jun 15 22:49:18 MyNameIsJon its possible Jun 15 22:49:32 that was it, ddclient needed perl. Jun 15 22:49:43 bbiab Jun 15 22:50:02 konsolex: ddclient caused "heat" and battery life issues for some people I was reading yesterday Jun 15 22:50:32 I removed ddclient and perl while looking for another solution, going to give ez-ipudate a try Jun 15 22:50:35 i set mine to 3600 seconds instead of 60? Jun 15 22:50:39 MyNameIsJon: Are you sure you got the else_if statement from the patch inputted correctly? I was seeing the same display issue as you until I added the else_if for roamonly. Jun 15 22:50:49 root@@castle:/etc/ppp/ip-up.d$ cat 09updatedns Jun 15 22:50:50 #!/bin/sh Jun 15 22:50:50 /opt/bin/ez-ipupdate -c /opt/etc/ipupdate.conf -f -F /home/root/ez/ezrun --cache-file /home/root/ez/ipcache -q Jun 15 22:51:05 w5mw: 95% sure Jun 15 22:51:12 MyNameIsJon: Haven't been able to reproduce your issue using the patch file I posted Jun 15 22:51:12 one second Jun 15 22:51:28 I didn't install patch Jun 15 22:51:43 so I just patched it by hand which could lead to errors Jun 15 22:52:19 did you see my screenshot on precentral forums? Jun 15 22:52:27 MyNameIsJon: If it still has that display issue, I'd like to get it sorted out. I just can't reproduce it on my end. Jun 15 22:52:35 MyNameIsJon: Yea Jun 15 22:52:54 I'll take a look at it now. small display/ ui issue Jun 15 22:53:12 if i wanted to go to sprint only after roam only, I need to go through automatic first. Jun 15 22:53:44 let me check again on my pre. So going from Roam only to Sprint only is where the issue is? Jun 15 22:54:10 well, when you are in roam only, and then go to the prefences screen, it looks like my second screen shot. Jun 15 22:54:28 ie sprint only shown as selected, but it is actually in roam only Jun 15 22:55:24 ok.. That's what I thought you were saying.. I can't reproduce it. Please check your else_if for roam only against the patch file.. If you don't see any issue with that, let me know. Jun 15 22:56:31 w5mw: here is the diff from the orginal file and my version: http://webos.pastebin.com/m5c6123eb Jun 15 22:57:57 I had forgot the new comma after $L("AUtomatic) line the first time I tried to implement it and got a white card Jun 15 22:58:52 w5mw: you beat me by a few hours to the roam only hack :) Jun 15 22:59:05 what os will the pre revert to after a #rtn? Jun 15 22:59:19 though I was at a disadvantage as don't have a pre :) Jun 15 22:59:34 1.0.1 or 1.0.2? Jun 15 22:59:48 spotter_: didn't know anyone else was working on it.. It was driving me nuts though, so I thought I'd try to figure it out. It ended up being pretty easy as you saw. Jun 15 23:00:00 hello all. Has any one played with the PDF rotation on the wiki? Jun 15 23:00:22 I think sargun? was working on it Jun 15 23:00:31 MyNameIsJon: I'm looking at your diff now Jun 15 23:00:33 check the logs Jun 15 23:00:51 well, I was thinking about it Jun 15 23:00:56 wasn't working on it till sunday Jun 15 23:00:57 only other instance of homeonly not in your patch is in the dataroaming section Jun 15 23:01:02 took me about an hour of grepping :) Jun 15 23:01:05 maybe less Jun 15 23:01:15 my brain doesn't do javascript Jun 15 23:01:22 nice clean C code is so much nicer :) Jun 15 23:02:40 webshell is fun... pity every command I type gets auto capitalized. Jun 15 23:02:47 (okay, I hope this doesn't result in a billion of messages containing the word n00b) Jun 15 23:02:50 is there any chance your hacking can lead to a gsm version or is that something entirely different? Jun 15 23:03:12 not unless you have a gsm radio lying around Jun 15 23:03:13 do we know how to detect if the wifi and bt radios are on? i can query eth0 for an address, but that doesn't tell me if the radio is actually on or off. Jun 15 23:03:15 MyNameIJon: Typo in you diff Jun 15 23:03:27 sebkom: that would most likely require different hardware. It may be possible to hack it onto Verizon however. Jun 15 23:03:27 sebkom, not quite something that can be done with the current hardware in there (i believe) .. i don't think the MSM6800 RF front end will handle fast GSM .. Jun 15 23:03:31 it may support GPRS Jun 15 23:03:38 this.voiceRoaminModel.currentVoiceRoaming = "roamonly"; Jun 15 23:03:40 w5mw: sweet where? Jun 15 23:03:46 missing a g Jun 15 23:03:56 Roman voice Jun 15 23:04:00 sounds manly Jun 15 23:04:06 haha I want roman voice Jun 15 23:04:17 bpadalino: but will it do shortwave? Jun 15 23:04:17 so, what's it say when you "cat /proc/cpuinfo" ? Jun 15 23:04:38 steviebuns, it's probably giving off a good amount of emi!! i should put it up next to the spectrum analyzer tomorrow Jun 15 23:04:41 and see what it's sending out Jun 15 23:04:53 in airplane mode - maybe i'll see some spurs Jun 15 23:05:02 should be: this.voiceRoamingModel.currentVoiceRoaming = "roamonly"; Jun 15 23:05:09 C4colo: http://webos.pastebin.com/d68fd00fa Jun 15 23:05:18 bp: eh, if it's less than a kW, I don't get too nervous. Jun 15 23:05:21 maybe they should always have cat output "meow" Jun 15 23:05:24 that information is in the wiki under tidbits i think Jun 15 23:05:28 MyNameIsJon: thank you =) Jun 15 23:05:41 steviebuns: really? i get nervous with our 5W radios if i hold them up to my head for long enough Jun 15 23:05:43 bpadalino: how goes the USB stuff? Jun 15 23:05:53 MyNameIsJon: Let me know if that fixes the display issue... Jun 15 23:05:59 ryanworl: good - i am just about to upload a document describing the pmux stuff i think Jun 15 23:06:02 grr my nick got changed again Jun 15 23:06:04 let me commit and upload, hold it Jun 15 23:06:45 Probably a dumb question, but what does enable developer mode actually do? and why are people using rootfs_open -w instead of mount -o remount, rw Jun 15 23:06:53 w5mw, checking now Jun 15 23:07:28 MyNameIsJon: rootfs_open does the same thing - it was just a handy script Jun 15 23:07:45 developer mode adds novacomd to run Jun 15 23:07:47 for the root partition? rootfs_open seems to make it survive reboots? Jun 15 23:08:10 hi friends Jun 15 23:09:49 I'm stilly disappointed that no one has tried getting doctor to restore a modified rootfs Jun 15 23:10:12 that was like the holy grail for the iPhone world Jun 15 23:10:24 ok, so I'm about 96% convinced to stay with sprint for another 2 years and grab the pre... it's a tough choice because I"m out of my contract in 1 month Jun 15 23:10:29 getting iTunes to restore modified firmware that is... Jun 15 23:10:47 MyNameIsJon: yeah i tlooks like it touches /var/.rootfs_Rw which makes it persistent across reboots Jun 15 23:11:23 cyanide that is what i'm thinking we will end up doing if the next update kills any backdoor access Jun 15 23:11:29 what is what we did on HTC also Jun 15 23:11:42 spotter_: Yeah, I did a bunch of recursive find/greps before I figured it out. Jun 15 23:11:44 w5mw: that fixed it, thanks Jun 15 23:12:00 MyNameIsJon: great. Jun 15 23:12:03 I'll go update my post on precentral Jun 15 23:12:36 Hey all. Just wanted to say thanks for the information on your site. Got SSH, custom Universal Search, and extra launcher pages up in no time flat! Jun 15 23:12:54 I think the white card for syntax errors should be mentioned on the wiki somewhere pretty obvious. becuase if i hadn't seen previous discussion of it on the irc channel I prbly would have crapped my pants Jun 15 23:12:59 ridius, good to hear, enjoy. Jun 15 23:13:11 dreadchicken: thanks... I already am ;) Jun 15 23:14:00 Hey FYI on the white cards. It logs sytax errors etc to /var/log/messages Jun 15 23:14:05 white card for syntax errors ? Jun 15 23:14:21 oh - when there are syntax errors, webkit renders white ? Jun 15 23:14:37 ok folks..heading home Jun 15 23:14:48 oh, and btw "mesg n" does not stop the powerd walls. Jun 15 23:15:29 just chmod -x it? Jun 15 23:15:43 syntax errors in the code for a card seem to easily cause it to show up as a blank card. I was missing a comma, and the previous discussion I saw was missing a close brace Jun 15 23:15:56 Interesting. Palm forums say that tethering is supported by the hardware, just Sprint told them to disable it. I wonder what'll happen when the Sprint exclusivity is up :O Jun 15 23:16:08 I believe some errors do pop out in messages, though Jun 15 23:16:46 I'll probly just use masquerade over wifi if it comes down to it Jun 15 23:17:21 err, what w5mw said ;) Jun 15 23:19:46 ok, I can't find the actual Mhz of the CPU anywhere ... any specs on that? Jun 15 23:20:20 I don't think any are published Jun 15 23:20:28 hmm Jun 15 23:20:28 C4colo: did you look in the wiki? If it isn't there it is prbly in engadget's review or on precentral somewhere Jun 15 23:20:29 6mo sprint exclusivity in only in the us, many carriers outside the us will have it before the 6mos are up. Jun 15 23:20:33 But you can try to ssh in and cat /proc/cpuinfo (if they're using proc on the Pre) Jun 15 23:20:42 and cpuinfo doesn't say Jun 15 23:20:44 C4colo, 125 to 600 iirc Jun 15 23:20:44 very similar to iphone 3gs from what I understand Jun 15 23:21:00 it is in sys somewhere. Jun 15 23:21:08 nice Jun 15 23:21:56 hah, like apple ][ gs was a souped up ][e, so is the iphone 3gs. funny apple Jun 15 23:21:56 so Jun 15 23:21:58 @fileOverview Nothing to see here, move along. lol Jun 15 23:22:02 600mhz officially, its underclocked to 500 at startup do to a design issue Jun 15 23:22:15 battery question Jun 15 23:22:40 if i set noip to poll my address once a minute, will that severely drain my battery Jun 15 23:22:50 like, its not a lot of communication Jun 15 23:22:54 very minimal Jun 15 23:22:57 Hah.... I never thought of the 3gs tie in Jun 15 23:23:04 it'll keep the data connection up which is power Jun 15 23:23:15 j0sh, i suspect so. Jun 15 23:23:22 so the data connection shuts itself down when not in use? Jun 15 23:23:26 j0sh, why would you do that? Jun 15 23:23:27 whats the timeout Jun 15 23:23:34 the evdo will go dormant Jun 15 23:23:47 can the network awaken the evdo connection? Jun 15 23:23:58 j0sh: I would figure out how long before Sprint changes your ip Jun 15 23:24:05 basically when the evdo goes dormant it loses your IP almost immediately Jun 15 23:24:16 j0sh, and? Jun 15 23:24:18 oh, that's annoying Jun 15 23:24:19 which is why i dont want no-ip to wait 30 minutes Jun 15 23:24:27 before updating Jun 15 23:24:32 that would defeat the entire purpose Jun 15 23:24:34 just run something on the pre then Jun 15 23:24:34 right Jun 15 23:24:43 use another service? Jun 15 23:24:46 cron a ping of yahoo.com Jun 15 23:24:52 rofl Jun 15 23:24:57 thats not the problem Jun 15 23:24:58 like Jun 15 23:25:06 j0sh: it should run every time the IP changes then, or every time a network connection is established Jun 15 23:25:10 j0sh: run your own DNS server ... use dynamic update to push to your own server Jun 15 23:25:25 C4colo, explain Jun 15 23:25:36 use a keypair for auth so that you can come in on any ip ... since you can't be sure Jun 15 23:25:37 oh Jun 15 23:25:53 my issue is knowing the device's evdo IP Jun 15 23:25:55 at all times Jun 15 23:25:57 you don't need your own dns server, dyndns.org allows you to update like that. Jun 15 23:25:59 not my own Jun 15 23:26:03 no-ip does that too Jun 15 23:26:10 as often as you want? Jun 15 23:26:11 j0sh, instead of eating your battery trying to avoid your ip changing why wouldn't you just report on change via /etc/ppp/ip-up.d? that's what i do Jun 15 23:26:24 dreadchicken, thats better Jun 15 23:26:26 what dreadchicken said Jun 15 23:26:27 even better idea Jun 15 23:26:28 how do i do it Jun 15 23:26:36 see thats the solution im looking for Jun 15 23:26:42 scroll up Jun 15 23:26:55 j0sh: any scrip in that dir is called every time ppp interface comes up Jun 15 23:27:07 ok Jun 15 23:27:18 root@castle:/etc/ppp/ip-up.d# ls Jun 15 23:27:19 08setupdns 09updatedns Jun 15 23:27:19 root@castle:/etc/ppp/ip-up.d# cat 09updatedns Jun 15 23:27:19 #!/bin/sh Jun 15 23:27:19 /opt/bin/ez-ipupdate -c /opt/etc/ipupdate.conf -f -F /home/root/ez/ezrun --cache-file /home/root/ez/ipcache -q Jun 15 23:27:29 hellow, I'm having trouble rooting my pre Jun 15 23:27:36 hello* Jun 15 23:27:52 my problem was windows7, what's yours? Jun 15 23:28:18 just new to linux, and not entirely sure how to do this : Jun 15 23:28:20 # Get the rooter from subversion: http://svn.saurik.com/repos/webos-dev/trunk/rooter/ Jun 15 23:28:20 # Run talk.py inside of the rooter in subversion, it'll output a bunch of lines. If you see an error, join the irc (irc.freenode.net #webos-internals) Jun 15 23:28:31 i dont think no-ip linux client allows for an update-now-then-kill-process operation Jun 15 23:28:40 so is there another way to do it Jun 15 23:28:45 read above, use another service. Jun 15 23:28:58 yeah im a bit lost :/ Jun 15 23:29:20 i thought you were telling me to run the no-ip client for an immediate update by using that script Jun 15 23:29:42 no, ez-ipupdate is a multi-service dyn dns updater. Jun 15 23:29:48 j0sh try a different updater script like ez-ipupdate Jun 15 23:29:52 ok Jun 15 23:29:55 anyone know where the webkit files/configuration is stored on the pre? Jun 15 23:30:21 and if noip doesn't allow you to update ip that often, pick a different provider. there are tons of them. Jun 15 23:30:28 dmr: which files are you looking for in particular? Jun 15 23:30:37 well i'm trying to change the default user agent Jun 15 23:31:07 so wherever that would be located Jun 15 23:31:14 pre charges at ~685mA via wall wart. Jun 15 23:31:29 hm Jun 15 23:31:44 yeah id have to use a different provider, that script doesnt support no-ip Jun 15 23:31:50 user agent is in the binary .so. :( Jun 15 23:31:52 shame, i have all my other dynamic hosts on no-ip Jun 15 23:32:12 libWebKitLuna.so Jun 15 23:32:17 dreadchicken: is that the capacity of the ac adaptor, the current drawn by the pre, or the current drawn by the touchstone? Jun 15 23:32:22 j0sh: you could probably make the script work for no-ip, but a different provider will be easier Jun 15 23:32:38 I think you're not supposed to pull > 500 mA over USB Jun 15 23:32:48 aubilenon, current reported by the pre. Jun 15 23:33:06 hmm that's unfortunate Jun 15 23:33:22 dreadchicken: oh! Jun 15 23:33:35 on the touchstone, or plugged in? Jun 15 23:33:39 (I wonder if it differs) Jun 15 23:33:44 aubilenon, correct...it's down at ~350mA via usb. Jun 15 23:33:56 my touchstone is reporting 530-550mA Jun 15 23:34:03 the cool thing about running your own DNS server is that you can use standards-compliant mechanisms for updating Jun 15 23:34:27 run bind and just use a normal dns update utilitly for linux Jun 15 23:34:36 bind on server, update util on your pre Jun 15 23:34:41 having your dns server would require having a domain name, too Jun 15 23:34:42 C4colo, I run PDNS Jun 15 23:34:48 MyNameIsJon, costs like $5 Jun 15 23:34:51 Before I start writing a browser plugin for framebuffer access from Luna - has anyone here started writing one yet (I'd hate to duplicate such a big task)? Jun 15 23:34:55 Sargun: I know Jun 15 23:34:55 domain names are cheap Jun 15 23:35:00 $10/yr Jun 15 23:35:03 djbdns is the only dns i use! Jun 15 23:35:03 hi people. Would you say webOS is better than G android? Jun 15 23:35:04 I just renewed mine Jun 15 23:35:05 I have at least 6 to my name Jun 15 23:35:13 d03boy, yup. Jun 15 23:35:14 do3boy: yes. Jun 15 23:35:15 last time I counted Jun 15 23:35:20 MyNameIsJon, the expensive part is the internet access Jun 15 23:35:27 wait, I bought 4 more in the past year Jun 15 23:35:27 run bind on the pre? Jun 15 23:35:28 Sargun scm6079 I sort of got that impressin too Jun 15 23:35:29 I have about 10 Jun 15 23:35:32 there's an option Jun 15 23:35:35 run bind on a server Jun 15 23:35:41 ;) Jun 15 23:35:46 but you could Jun 15 23:35:54 I was curious the CPU, I'd like to run asterisk on the PRE Jun 15 23:36:00 scm6079, not knowing android...any specifics you like? Jun 15 23:36:07 someone has a webserver running on his pre Jun 15 23:36:16 asterix is in optware Jun 15 23:36:17 C4colo, no. Jun 15 23:36:20 asterisk doesn't use much RAM, but it needs about 500Mhz to run a few channels of audio Jun 15 23:36:33 no? Jun 15 23:36:35 C4colo, I don't think anyone has figured out how to pull audio yet Jun 15 23:36:45 oh, well, it doesn't have to participate Jun 15 23:36:49 a few channels seems like more than you'd need Jun 15 23:36:56 anyone know how to make system sounds output over a2dp? Jun 15 23:36:57 MyNameIsJon, had one running last monday night(?) and pxe booted and built a system off my pre on Tuesday. Jun 15 23:36:57 it could just be a hub with wi-fi sip phones running off it .. lol Jun 15 23:37:04 anyone from the Milwaukee area? I'm curious as to whether the service around here is worthy Jun 15 23:37:13 EvanPro_, Ping. Jun 15 23:37:27 dreadchicken: yes - pre has a very complete linux underneath - and a simpler display manager. It will be a minor pain for us until a few browser plugins are written to give access to hw via the front end -- but in the end will be nice Jun 15 23:37:32 anyway, console/dsp access would be really cool Jun 15 23:37:46 d03boy: I find i hard to believe that any metro would not be worth running any major carrier Jun 15 23:37:47 the dsp apparently gets dynamically loaded Jun 15 23:37:54 or run a sip client on it in software, but that could steal CPU from asterisk Jun 15 23:38:06 using the dspbridge Jun 15 23:38:18 granted att does not have "3g" here in outlying jacksonville, fl areas Jun 15 23:38:25 thanks scm6079. Jun 15 23:38:35 reports from a friend with an iphone3g at work Jun 15 23:38:43 http://coverage.sprintpcs.com/IMPACT.jsp <- dunno how accurate this is Jun 15 23:39:02 and with "free" roaming who really cares? Jun 15 23:39:17 sprint's plans are tons cheaper than other carriers Jun 15 23:39:28 yup Jun 15 23:39:30 you don't get roaming data access do you? Jun 15 23:39:33 I didn't this weekend Jun 15 23:39:47 either that or google maps was just cranky Jun 15 23:39:49 the $99 iphone might look good until you realize you'll be paying a couple grand extra by the time your contract is up Jun 15 23:39:49 I roamed data all the way to texas from colorado and back Jun 15 23:39:52 never cost me anything Jun 15 23:40:17 for those of you looking to poke around with the dsp on the pre: http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard/DSP_Howto Jun 15 23:40:24 I think as long as you aren't roaming 100% of the time, you should be fine Jun 15 23:40:26 works well Jun 15 23:40:35 How is programming on the Pre? Is there an API somewhere? What language is supported? Jun 15 23:40:36 herewego dyndns =[ Jun 15 23:40:37 dammit Jun 15 23:40:57 d03boy: no language is officially supported yet as there is no sdk released Jun 15 23:41:04 and even if you had one month of pure roaming, as long as you could explain it as a "trip" or vacation and a one time thing you'd still be fine Jun 15 23:41:13 but enough of the system is understood that you can write most any language and have it run on the pre Jun 15 23:41:18 bpadalino, they havent specified what will be used? Jun 15 23:41:30 d03boy: officially it will be html/js/css Jun 15 23:41:32 depends on what you mean by programing for the pre Jun 15 23:41:35 I have to say the worst roaming experience I had was going from colorado (with great analog / TDMA tri-band coverage) to Chicago (almost all GSM, no analog / TDMA, spotty, constantly roaming) back when I still had a tri-band phone Jun 15 23:41:47 now TDMA is dead Jun 15 23:41:48 Programming = making apps I suppose Jun 15 23:42:01 getting standard unix programs to run on it works fine. getting stuff on the phone's ui is where the issue currently is Jun 15 23:42:11 oh right, its linux. I forgot Jun 15 23:42:16 we can run code, but not apps. :D Jun 15 23:42:29 but you have to hack it? Jun 15 23:42:32 is analog even up any more? aren't pretty much any phone you can get digital only now? does onstar still use analog phones? Jun 15 23:42:34 or rather, root it Jun 15 23:42:44 do3boy -- check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUAc8E9sFhk Jun 15 23:42:48 rooting it is the first step to accessing the linux OS Jun 15 23:42:48 analog is gone - all towers turned off Jun 15 23:42:51 MyNameIsJon, I think analog network runs for security/safety purposes Jun 15 23:42:52 standard being normal command line stuff like vim / nano / mlocate / dig / nslookup / cat / echo / etc? Jun 15 23:43:00 I would be severely disappointed if it was Java. Jun 15 23:43:10 aubilenon: speak for yourself. ;) Apps are running.. Jun 15 23:43:14 hrmm, i need to did out my 900MHz scanner and see Jun 15 23:43:17 what about more complex command-line only stuff? Jun 15 23:43:19 s/did/dig Jun 15 23:43:19 cyanidepoison: there is a jvm installed and it does run a significant portion of the processing Jun 15 23:43:25 damn, if that map is accurate Jun 15 23:43:28 Im glad I live in MN Jun 15 23:43:33 900mhz scanner? you mean your old UHF TV set? Jun 15 23:43:43 yeah I've heard that Luna or whatever the big part of the phone is, is written in Java Jun 15 23:43:45 I used to listen to analog telephone conversations when I was a kid in the UHF bands between channels Jun 15 23:43:52 ... before I knew it was a felony Jun 15 23:43:55 I'd like to get a cross compiler built on my linux box Jun 15 23:43:55 scm6079: oh I guess I missed something Jun 15 23:44:02 I did see the hello world thing, I Guess Jun 15 23:44:11 i listen to cordless phones still Jun 15 23:44:14 i guess i can search the optware site for information on how it was built Jun 15 23:44:21 MyNameIsJon: yep Jun 15 23:44:25 amazing how many people are still on cheap cordless phones Jun 15 23:44:27 I've got a new camera app, and a camcorder app done too... Jun 15 23:44:39 MyNameIsJon: http://trac.nslu2-linux.org/optware Jun 15 23:44:43 pagers were analog if they're still around Jun 15 23:44:52 scm6079: and it goes through the regular launcher, etc? Jun 15 23:44:54 yes they are Jun 15 23:45:01 Yes - very much so. Jun 15 23:45:06 Has anyone here successfully bypassed the activation or is trying to Jun 15 23:45:07 MyNameIsJon: specifically, http://trac.nslu2-linux.org/optware/browser/trunk/platforms/toolchain-cs08q1armel.mk Jun 15 23:45:07 Fully integrated with the phone. Jun 15 23:45:12 pagers are analog? how does the data get delivered ? Jun 15 23:45:15 No framebuffer hacks that shutdown luna. Jun 15 23:45:16 rwhitby: thanks Jun 15 23:45:19 (damn ? being right next to enter) Jun 15 23:45:22 we had an on-call pager until I came on as a contractor and told them they should just use SMS on cell phones Jun 15 23:45:24 as audio Jun 15 23:45:31 scm: do you have a link to how you did it? Jun 15 23:45:33 rwhitby: i didn't realize you were a big VHDL guy until i went to your webpage Jun 15 23:45:55 i had a program on my computer that listened to the line-in coming from my scanner that could decode pager data Jun 15 23:45:56 or was it just dumb-easy so nevermind? Jun 15 23:46:07 I've posted some to the wiki -- which is a good place to start. Jun 15 23:46:26 for about $500 you can buy what you need to set up your own "pirate" pager system Jun 15 23:46:45 sounds like a lot of string Jun 15 23:46:54 it's 27mhz I think, doesn't take much to propigate all over the place Jun 15 23:47:00 string? Jun 15 23:47:34 yeah - and cans .. to get the message around Jun 15 23:47:41 C4colo: be an intersting thing for organzied crime, terrorists, drug dealers to do Jun 15 23:47:53 way to get around patriot act monitoring of comms Jun 15 23:48:08 heh Jun 15 23:48:14 prepaid cell phones do a better job and have good coverage Jun 15 23:48:18 now if I can just get a bluetooth pager that can talk to my pre Jun 15 23:48:22 my pre stats: http://pl.g3is.net Jun 15 23:48:53 dreadchicken: can we get that in a graph over time ? Jun 15 23:49:00 will be able to Jun 15 23:49:05 all columns, please ... selectable as to which are shown Jun 15 23:49:09 kthx :) Jun 15 23:49:24 tav_: with respect to your question about doing off-log messages, the intention of the channel is that all discussion is publicly logged, so that the discussion self-polices Jun 15 23:49:34 * rwhitby is reading backlog from last night Jun 15 23:49:35 I would like to see a graph of uptime vs time Jun 15 23:49:38 where is your rrdtool when you need it ? Jun 15 23:49:44 also, if anyone wants to cron the script they can submit as well. Jun 15 23:49:45 is it worth getting the pre now vs in a couple months? Jun 15 23:50:06 the output on this site looks a lot like what i used to see with my scanner: http://www.aaroncake.net/schoolpage/decoder.htm Jun 15 23:50:14 d03boy: I can't even imagine how I could answer that for you Jun 15 23:50:16 still looking for a sample of the audio Jun 15 23:50:22 i id by hash, not by human identifiable information. Jun 15 23:50:24 d03boy: now if you want to really play with apps yourself - later if you want to just d/l lots of apps from others. Early in the game still right now. Jun 15 23:50:37 dreadchicken: entry 67 is crazy for load 1 .. Jun 15 23:50:38 ok Jun 15 23:50:39 18!! Jun 15 23:50:41 insano Jun 15 23:50:44 scm6079, im a programmer so... early i tis Jun 15 23:50:48 d03boy: I'm waiting until at leasat december Jun 15 23:50:48 d03boy: if you're asking, prbly wait Jun 15 23:50:50 dreadchicken, i installed that package and created that script you pasted, and set up the configuration file Jun 15 23:50:58 is there anything else im going to have to do Jun 15 23:50:59 and Jun 15 23:51:01 summatusmentis: for anotehr carrier? Jun 15 23:51:07 all those options in the script you pasted, are those required Jun 15 23:51:16 aubilenon: for me to get back from Spain (study abroad) Jun 15 23:51:30 d03boy: I'm going to get it if I decide to within a month probably Jun 15 23:51:32 bpadalino, yes, i found out that load is a bad indicator for machines like this that sleep. the run queue has a lot of shit wanting to run when it does wake up. Jun 15 23:51:43 but it probably doesn't do much but go back to sleep. Jun 15 23:51:48 i just dont want to get caught with an early version that has bugs Jun 15 23:51:54 interesting Jun 15 23:52:03 __ has anyone heard if there is a group starting up to add framebuffer access support to Luna yet? __ Jun 15 23:52:11 the machine seems to wakeup ~15-20 minutes when on battery. Jun 15 23:52:17 d03boy: don't worry, they will force you to upgrade your software Jun 15 23:52:28 that's why i'm looking for ways to tell if wifi/gps/bt are on, to add them. Jun 15 23:52:33 C4colo, actually more worried about the hardware. How is hw looking? Jun 15 23:52:42 dunno if they plan to revise it Jun 15 23:52:52 havn't heard anything personally, just about software updates Jun 15 23:53:01 Monitor Source: pvoicedial.monitor Jun 15 23:53:01 and people freaking out about forced updates Jun 15 23:53:07 device.description = "voice dialling prompts" Jun 15 23:53:11 it's a good thing if you ask me, as long as they don't pull an apple Jun 15 23:53:11 in pulseaudio config... Jun 15 23:53:13 interesting Jun 15 23:53:28 i'm currrently doing a grep on 'addr' to determinte wifi on/off, but that doesn't really test if the radio is on or not. Jun 15 23:53:34 someone from palm in here said they wouldn't force updates .. Jun 15 23:53:56 oh, well engadget or techcrunch or some crap said they would force it Jun 15 23:54:06 and then the mac fanbois all chimed in and did their happy dance Jun 15 23:54:08 ahh, check http://www.kb9ukd.com/digital/ for POCSAG to see what the signal to a pager "sounds" like Jun 15 23:54:35 "everyone else sucks almost as bad as mac, so ha ha haha ha" or whatever they chant during their happy dance Jun 15 23:54:53 bpadalino: I thought the user manual says that the update will be forced on the third try? Jun 15 23:54:59 sorry, did I forget to mention I dispise apple and their ilk Jun 15 23:55:02 It won't matter if they force update... honestly, we have access to an accessible rom already, and the tool to flash it to the phone. It will just be more work to patch the old rom to disable the auto-updates, and add any new features to it. Jun 15 23:55:13 rwhitby: matt with the hat said that wasn't true ? Jun 15 23:55:36 I know that, which is why I'm not worried about it personally Jun 15 23:55:58 but it's good for most users to be running up to date and secure versions of their software Jun 15 23:56:20 if you aren't smart enough to prevent it from updating then you probably need to be reminded forcefully to update Jun 15 23:56:36 C4colo: amen. Jun 15 23:57:28 hasn't palm pretty much given their blessing for the hacking we're doing? even going so far as have at /opt, we're not going to use it Jun 15 23:57:50 MyNameIsJon: Palm cannot say anything officially Jun 15 23:58:09 rwhitby: you know what I mean Jun 15 23:58:24 yea they didn't ... uh ... "intend" ... or whatever you want to call it ... this hacking ... but um, they didn't make it "difficult" or whatever Jun 15 23:58:41 "youll have to talk to the PR people about that one" Jun 15 23:58:43 palm people have spoken on this channel too, have they not? maybe not in an official capacity but they're around? Jun 15 23:59:06 Palm are here, they know exactly what we are doing, and have politely cautioned us about specific areas we may be advised to stay away from. That's all. Jun 15 23:59:19 Palm has been very nice to me. After my stuff got posted to Engadget I was a little worried. Jun 15 23:59:19 which areas? Jun 15 23:59:27 those are the ones I want to poke at the most Jun 15 23:59:45 C4colo: the areas in the /topic. The channel on which to do that is also listed there. Jun 15 23:59:57 how about those screen cracks? What % is getting them? Jun 15 23:59:59 they've also given some tips like "I'd avoid that if you want your radio to keep working" Jun 16 00:00:20 Don't piss off the carriers (ie. sprint). Don't do anything to circumvent paid services, and don't post ANY of Palm's intellectual property ANYWHERE. I.e. Don't post their code. Jun 16 00:00:27 oh just teathering? I knew about that one. Jun 16 00:00:36 not really interested personally Jun 16 00:00:46 I just want a good phone, I'm tired of my Treo 700wx Jun 16 00:01:16 C4colo: that's why most of us are here. I want the phone to be good enough to replace a 650 before it gets to .au and I can buy it. Jun 16 00:01:19 I won't be surprise if w5mw's roam only patch has to go away Jun 16 00:01:48 i want the phone to replace my laptop Jun 16 00:01:53 so I dont even need to use tethering Jun 16 00:01:57 my 700wx has a roam only option built in Jun 16 00:02:13 I use it when I'm getting to the end of my minutes Jun 16 00:02:29 since roaming is free... for some unexplainable reason I can run over my minutes as long as they are roaming minutes Jun 16 00:02:38 sweet Jun 16 00:03:20 and you can thank sprint for that bit of information, I never would have known if they hadn't messed up my Sprint-to-home number and my first bill be over $900 Jun 16 00:03:27 its webkit Jun 16 00:03:45 when the overages started racking up, the roaming minutes did not, they were still $0 Jun 16 00:03:46 eek nm sb *sigh* back to codin... Jun 16 00:04:17 C4colo: i think that is because of the lag in roaming minutes getting charged to your account Jun 16 00:04:26 are ya'll on unlimited accts? its only $99 right? Jun 16 00:04:40 and if you are running low on minutes, just call *2 and ask for a bucket, they'll give them to you for free Jun 16 00:04:53 i'm on the 450 minute Jun 16 00:05:02 and i only use a fraction of those generally Jun 16 00:05:02 well I rarely run out of minutes ... sprint-to-home is a life saver Jun 16 00:05:07 MyNameIsJon, are you saying that c4colo is going to pay $930424 this month? Jun 16 00:05:15 d03boy: i am on a plan called "Everything plus" - 500 minutes, $60/mo .. Jun 16 00:05:27 They took the roam only option off of the newer WinMobile phones, but there it was just a registry change away from being re-enabled. If Sprint had better rural coverage I wouldn't even need to use roam only.. Jun 16 00:05:35 bpadalino, unltd interweb? Jun 16 00:05:38 i need to get the fave 5 or whatever sprint calls it and add my work numbers to that since that is who most of my calls are too Jun 16 00:05:52 yes Jun 16 00:06:02 the only thing that bugs me is that I can't use their "phone as modem" on most of the modern "everything" plans Jun 16 00:06:18 I have to ask them to scrape the bottom of the barrel to find the old, normal plans Jun 16 00:06:53 phone as a modem used to be a $30 add on i thought Jun 16 00:06:56 had one guy who was going to save me $20 a month... ended up putting each phone on an individual plan ... costing me about $175 more per month Jun 16 00:07:18 but he didn't realize it... thought it was a shared plan Jun 16 00:07:18 i never "needed" PAM on my treo's, and I don't think I'll need it on the pre Jun 16 00:07:33 i've used it when i went to hotel's who wanted to pay for wifi/internet access Jun 16 00:07:39 I need it about once every 3 or 4 months Jun 16 00:07:41 dreadchicken, if i run ez-ipupdate manually it updates, but when i turn airplane mode on/off to test the script running, the address doesnt update Jun 16 00:07:41 for a week or two Jun 16 00:07:44 any thoughts Jun 16 00:07:46 so i would hop on irc, check email, etc - then go to bed Jun 16 00:07:55 masquerade over wifi adhoc will prbly negate the need Jun 16 00:08:08 bpadalino, how many txts Jun 16 00:08:14 unlimited Jun 16 00:08:18 sweet Jun 16 00:08:20 i meant, the treo's did "PAM" for free and sprint couldn't tell you were using dialup Jun 16 00:08:28 bpadalino, is it easy to check your minutes? Jun 16 00:08:40 *4 Jun 16 00:08:41 i don't use more than 30 minutes per month Jun 16 00:08:47 especially with n&w starting at 7pm Jun 16 00:08:50 what's "PAM' stand for? Jun 16 00:08:52 sprintpcs.com Jun 16 00:08:54 i work 9-6 .. Jun 16 00:08:55 phone as modem Jun 16 00:08:58 Phone As Mode...yea Jun 16 00:08:58 bpadalino, oh free n&w? Thats sweet Jun 16 00:09:14 d03boy: yeah, sprint has a pretty darn good plan setup Jun 16 00:09:26 bpadalino: recently Jun 16 00:09:32 yes Jun 16 00:09:34 recently Jun 16 00:09:38 I've been a customer for 4 years or so now ... was'nt always that way Jun 16 00:09:38 bpadalino, yes im impressed Jun 16 00:09:39 just remember when you do get charged for roaming minutes they always count against anytime minutes. no matter what time and to who you call Jun 16 00:09:43 * rwhitby laments that the US carrier system is so confusing that it takes up most of the irc chat traffic ... Jun 16 00:09:55 hashah Jun 16 00:10:00 I've used phone as modem before, but only because I couldn't look at google docs on my treo Jun 16 00:10:11 more info on the plan i am on (it used to be the old SERO plan): http://mcguireslaw.com/2008/07/16/psst-have-you-heard-about-everything-plus/ Jun 16 00:10:31 perhaps #webos might be better for plan discussions, since it's not really webos-internals ... ? Jun 16 00:10:32 rwhitby: do yo still do any VHDL ? Jun 16 00:10:37 bpadalino: nope Jun 16 00:10:38 oh right Jun 16 00:10:40 I've head of cole slaw, what's mcguire slaw? Jun 16 00:10:42 keep the topic Jun 16 00:10:51 bpadalino: the regular 450 minute everything plan with a 25% corp discount is cheaper Jun 16 00:11:04 which corp gives you 25% discount ? Jun 16 00:11:15 sorry - over to #webos for plan discussion Jun 16 00:11:17 yeah, a lot of people read the channel logs, and would prefer to only have on-topic chat so they don't need to read through a whole lot of other stuff to get to the good bits ... Jun 16 00:11:19 bpadalino, great tip. thanks Jun 16 00:11:23 damn, what's IRC for but to digress? Jun 16 00:11:39 one last hint before i quit the off topic, (Join a credit union that gives you a good sprint discount) Jun 16 00:12:37 so, can someone test an openssh setting for allowing root access via ssh key? Jun 16 00:12:49 (needs to be someone who has installed openssh instead of dropbear) Jun 16 00:12:51 ls -la Jun 16 00:12:54 . Jun 16 00:13:00 wrong window. Jun 16 00:13:01 nice. Jun 16 00:13:01 is dropbear any better than openssh? Jun 16 00:13:10 dropbear is smaller, with less features. Jun 16 00:13:12 dropbear is smaller, if that helps Jun 16 00:13:27 specifically, the dropbear client can't do agent forwarding. Jun 16 00:13:34 I personally use agent forwarding a lot. Jun 16 00:13:41 j0sh: I'd alias la="ls -la" ... save some keystrokes Jun 16 00:14:02 it can't? Jun 16 00:14:11 ssh forwarding... another way to not discuss a popular topic Jun 16 00:14:24 huh? Jun 16 00:14:26 tmzt: the server can, but you need the openssh client to get out to the next hop Jun 16 00:14:33 I'm in the process of rooting my Pre. Once I reboot into dev mode and plug it into my computer via usb, which option do I select on the phone? Jun 16 00:14:41 I figured I'd just use openssh Jun 16 00:14:42 that explains a few things except the socket makes it to the router but not past it Jun 16 00:14:45 it's pretty much the standard Jun 16 00:15:03 WillJitsu: neither/all/any Jun 16 00:15:09 C4colo: with enough space, it's always the best choice. Jun 16 00:15:15 ah Jun 16 00:15:18 on a 2MB flash rootfs on a router, dropbear is king. Jun 16 00:15:21 dropbear is smaller? Jun 16 00:15:25 I see Jun 16 00:15:52 konsoleX: I chose the USB Mode and windows is stuck on the Novacomd box. says found new hardware "Palm Novacom" Jun 16 00:16:02 don't click any mode is my advice. Jun 16 00:16:03 dropbear supports publickey auth which was nice for me, but I'll probably switch to openssh at some time Jun 16 00:16:20 any significant advances while i was gone? Jun 16 00:16:25 If you choose USB mode, it will unmount the /media/internal directory -- which is your 8gb storage. Convenient to use to backup your phone first. Jun 16 00:16:26 dropbear does everything except agent forwarding in the client as far as I can tell Jun 16 00:16:55 ShinAli: just some hissy fits on some blogs about us not allowing tethering talk Jun 16 00:17:07 scm6079: but as far as rooting the device, I don't need to choose and of those options? Jun 16 00:17:07 if anyone can help me with getting ez-ipupdate to run automatically on ppp interface going up Jun 16 00:17:09 id appreciate it Jun 16 00:17:10 rwhitby: when you say agent forwarding, do you mean port forwarding? or is that something else? i've never heard it called that before Jun 16 00:17:16 rwhitby: yeah i saw those Jun 16 00:17:17 no, agent forwarding. Jun 16 00:17:34 rather they saw it as palm being unsupportive of our efforts Jun 16 00:17:35 WillJitsu: i would hit cancel and run the novacominstall_x86.msi (unless you ahve 64 bit windows) Jun 16 00:17:36 WillJitsu: Correct- you can just leave it sit and not select any. Jun 16 00:17:40 which really isn't true :( Jun 16 00:17:44 keeping your keys on your local machine to which you have physical security, and then bouncing from machine to machine without needing to have private keys on any of the other machines Jun 16 00:17:55 scm6079: is there any way to tell that the phone is in developer mode? Jun 16 00:18:31 For the record - Palm's been pretty cool. Jun 16 00:18:36 anyone who has an ssh private key on a remote machine needs to read up on agent forwarding ... :-) Jun 16 00:19:03 WillJitsu: Restart the developer mode selector - the toggle will be in the "on" position when that app starts up if you are in dev mode. Jun 16 00:19:12 whatever more sensationalist gives more hits in their eyes Jun 16 00:19:30 rwhitby: just read a nice page about it. thanks Jun 16 00:19:31 ShinAli: yep, it's all about the AdSense revenue ... Jun 16 00:20:17 it's pretty easy to ignore a site that first links to the info you're publicly providing, and then on the same page says you've "caved in" :-) Jun 16 00:20:50 scm6079: ok cool I'm in developer mode. I'll try to restart this thing and see if I can get the driver to install properly Jun 16 00:21:17 i'm just hoping that public tethering option won't screw us over in future updates Jun 16 00:21:43 ShinAli: c'est la vie. Jun 16 00:21:52 i honestly don't care if they found some way to block people from tethering Jun 16 00:21:59 ShinAli: Has palm talked to you yet? Jun 16 00:22:03 just leave me with the wonderful root Jun 16 00:22:05 if it happens, it happens. we can only do what we can. Jun 16 00:22:14 ShinAli, same. Jun 16 00:22:39 scm6079: no palm representative really Jun 16 00:23:12 No Palm "representative" has talked to anyone here as far as I know. Just some private opinions from some Palm employees. Jun 16 00:23:42 I've been doing my best to help guide everyone I know to "play by the rules". Hopefully some of the obvious ones (like socks proxies) won't be posted too publically in the future... they cause lots of problems for the legitmate coders. Jun 16 00:24:21 kwi 4 Jun 16 00:24:36 scm6079: we can only affect what we allow on our channel and influence what is on the wiki. what others do is not our business - we can only reason with reasonable people :-) Jun 16 00:24:36 On my old i500 / i330 sites Palm was always very friendly to me. Same with Sprint. Eventually, Sprint Business Services started distributing my apps. So far with the Pre it seems to be the same level of acceptance. Jun 16 00:25:01 scm6079: which apps? Jun 16 00:25:23 rwhitby: my TextMessenger app was the first sprint picked up. Jun 16 00:26:15 rwhitby: http://i500.nopdesign.com was my old Palm/Samsung i500 site... Jun 16 00:26:21 < rwhitby> No Palm "representative" has talked to anyone here as far as I know. Just some private opinions from some Palm employees. Jun 16 00:26:37 ^ this. If people misunderstand we then end up with things like today's engadget article :O Jun 16 00:27:53 :( Jun 16 00:27:54 chrisa: Palm is a big company... they will be careful in any "official" DMCA actions. Jun 16 00:27:55 i'm actually hoping a commercial product comes out soon so we dont have the chatter here about it. Jun 16 00:28:02 Could anyone here help me with issue im having with rooting my pre? Jun 16 00:28:05 is palm still pretty big ? Jun 16 00:28:13 dreadchicken: you mean for tethering? Jun 16 00:28:15 pojoman: I can try. Jun 16 00:28:19 Pretty sure palm is < 1k employees Jun 16 00:28:24 Well i rooted it yesterday no problems Jun 16 00:28:24 All departments Jun 16 00:28:29 aubilenon, yes. Jun 16 00:28:33 yeah it would be nice if sprint would offer it somehow Jun 16 00:28:37 but now it isnt letting me telnet onto the ip Jun 16 00:28:41 what is your issue? Jun 16 00:28:43 chrisa, you don't do any manufacturing there tho, right ? Jun 16 00:28:47 something about not being able to connect o port 23 Jun 16 00:28:47 that's all outsourced ? Jun 16 00:29:04 pojoman: You mostly likely have a new DHCP lease - and a new IP. Jun 16 00:29:11 I know nothing about that Jun 16 00:29:19 When i checked the ip on the phone it was the same Jun 16 00:29:21 so i was right Jun 16 00:29:27 engadget was totally wrong Jun 16 00:29:30 ok asedeno_work_afk was helping me out earlier, but I had to handle work...so now I am back trying to root my pre Jun 16 00:29:38 did you set up ssh? Jun 16 00:29:49 fw off, python 2.6 installed, novacom installed Jun 16 00:29:59 ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '' Jun 16 00:30:07 still getting that error when running talk.py Jun 16 00:30:10 xp 64bit Jun 16 00:30:21 i get same error Jun 16 00:30:24 now Jun 16 00:30:28 didnt get it yesterday Jun 16 00:30:45 i got that error using python 3.0 instead of 2.6 Jun 16 00:30:52 uninstalled, installed 2.6, worked Jun 16 00:30:57 Im using 2.6 Jun 16 00:30:59 I using 2.6 Jun 16 00:31:07 Traceback (most recent call last): Jun 16 00:31:07 File "C:\Python26\talk.py", line 48, in Jun 16 00:31:07 port = getport() Jun 16 00:31:07 File "C:\Python26\talk.py", line 27, in getport Jun 16 00:31:07 return int(portnum) Jun 16 00:31:08 ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '' Jun 16 00:31:10 yeah i dunno what else might cause it, thats what did it for me Jun 16 00:31:16 under the battery my pre says "Made in china" Jun 16 00:31:28 pojoman: I have the same error Jun 16 00:31:34 Thing is Jun 16 00:31:38 I didnt have this issue yesterday Jun 16 00:31:44 correct me if i am wrong, but I think that if you set up the ssh correctly, then the telnet will no longer work Jun 16 00:31:46 also on the top right corner of the phone, there's a little flat thing that says "palm" where all the other corners have torx screws Jun 16 00:31:50 I rooted my phone fine even did the phone call duration fix Jun 16 00:31:55 there's a little indentation on the battery door over it Jun 16 00:32:08 but i want to do the launcher fix today and it wont allow me to telnet to my phones ip which is the same Jun 16 00:32:13 I wonder if that's a "you went and dropped it in the toilet" detector Jun 16 00:32:13 under device management does your novacom linux device show up as not configured properly? Jun 16 00:32:27 I think it's a "you took this apart" detector Jun 16 00:32:33 i don't know if the pre has a water sensor. Jun 16 00:32:40 ncoffman: i think telnet is disabled when you restart the device, regardless of whether or not you were successful setting up SSH Jun 16 00:32:55 burnettj: oh you mean there's just another torx screw under it? Jun 16 00:32:56 someone took it apart? Jun 16 00:32:58 dreadchicken: it does Jun 16 00:33:01 so i would have to go throught the whole rooting proccess again? Jun 16 00:33:02 aubilenon: yes Jun 16 00:33:07 that's plausible Jun 16 00:33:15 though it makes the indentation on the case make less sense Jun 16 00:33:19 I suppose it could reasonably be both Jun 16 00:33:29 if you use a finger nail file (stolen from wife) you can lift the sticker in one piece Jun 16 00:33:41 aha Jun 16 00:34:33 damn Jun 16 00:34:33 so has anyone figured out a way to download mp3s via browser? Jun 16 00:34:37 I really wanted this to work Jun 16 00:34:45 I would like to have extra pages on my launcher Jun 16 00:35:07 burnettj: it didn't work for you? Jun 16 00:35:35 I screwed it up the first time I tried and forgot to do the second half of the directions (uncommenting out the switch statement) Jun 16 00:35:43 aubilenon: nope Jun 16 00:35:53 The pre's water sensor is viewable through the headphone jack Jun 16 00:35:58 if you shine a light into it Jun 16 00:36:00 lol my pre froze up.... Jun 16 00:36:10 aubilenon: I can't get root yet Jun 16 00:36:13 man that was bad... Jun 16 00:36:14 still fighting novacom issues Jun 16 00:36:23 oh! Jun 16 00:36:28 okay then that's not your problem :D Jun 16 00:36:43 * bdumm goes to submit bug report... Jun 16 00:36:56 well, it worked on my xp 32bit box Jun 16 00:37:13 I am starting to regret installing 64 bit xp Jun 16 00:37:18 andrew@castle:~$ mount Jun 16 00:37:18 rootfs on / type rootfs (rw) Jun 16 00:37:35 hmmm where can i submit bugs? Jun 16 00:37:35 aww I was hoping I could get rid of the nascar icon by putting it on a new page by itself and then deleting that page Jun 16 00:37:36 is there any easy place on the pre to find my ip or do I have to go digging through my wifi ap? Jun 16 00:37:39 is that what i should expect to see on the pre, i'm confused by the (rw) Jun 16 00:37:40 no such luck Jun 16 00:38:03 burnettj: it's on the wifi preferences Jun 16 00:38:06 on the pre Jun 16 00:38:06 aubilenon: To hide nascar just change the appinfo.js to hidden. Jun 16 00:38:06 Burnettj, wifi app from the ui. Jun 16 00:38:12 aubilenon: thanks Jun 16 00:38:28 aubilenon: See my wiki page. Or better yet, use that app as a custom launcher for all your new apps. :) Jun 16 00:38:35 Burnett u figure it out? Jun 16 00:38:36 chrisa: I personally understand the constraints you guys are under here (I've worked at Canon, Motorola and Freescale in my past), and am trying to be as clear as possible so that there are no misunderstandings, but I can't affect bloggers who simply want to say stuff that isn't true :-( Jun 16 00:38:41 Hello Jun 16 00:38:57 pojoman: we'll see Jun 16 00:39:01 trying telnet now Jun 16 00:39:15 did you get passed the error? Jun 16 00:39:35 anyone feel like writing street-view into google maps? Jun 16 00:39:37 dammit Jun 16 00:39:38 pojoman: I ended up using my xp32bit box and it worked Jun 16 00:39:39 this is NOT working Jun 16 00:39:45 seems to be an xp 64bit issue Jun 16 00:39:50 opie-x: not really. ;) Jun 16 00:40:09 Hello everyone, Newbie trying to screw around with my new pre Jun 16 00:40:11 aubilenon, dreadchicken: the ifixit teardown shows the water sensor Jun 16 00:40:16 i'm trying to find a headless app example, i have a few services i want to run but having a hard time figuring out how to set on up Jun 16 00:40:54 opie-x: as in run something on the console without luna acces? Just run it... and background the task. Jun 16 00:41:22 opie-x: Or stick it in init.d/ and setup startup scripts for it when your phone boots... Jun 16 00:41:52 scm6079: make an actual webOS application using the framework, and create a dashboard with a proper headless minimize Jun 16 00:41:57 I have seen a few peoples videos on how they were able to successfully assign ringtones to other functions besides contacts has anyone here had any success with that Jun 16 00:43:08 pandora is a great example of how my service would work Jun 16 00:43:28 Hello all. I could use some help truning off the dtmf tones on my Pre. Has anyone been able to do it? Jun 16 00:43:39 They are so loud Jun 16 00:43:40 opie-x: Application with webOS framework is straightforward, but the dashboard with a "proper" headless minimize I'm not following. Your app will still run when in "card" minimized view happily. Check out some of the existing apps - they are easy to follow. Jun 16 00:43:42 opie-x what do you mean? Jun 16 00:43:53 after i put it in dev mode and reboot, when i plug in usb cable, do i select 'usb drive' or 'just charge' ? Jun 16 00:43:56 pandora still maintains a card Jun 16 00:44:19 JamesBaud: Select NOTHING - leave it on that screen. ;) Jun 16 00:44:24 okz, ty Jun 16 00:44:48 chrisa: right, you don't need to have a card Jun 16 00:44:58 IcedError: yeah I was asking a similar question Jun 16 00:45:00 IcedError: built in options only offer short and long, and i havent seen anything beyond that Jun 16 00:45:09 JamesBaud: If you copy any files you want to play with to /media/internal - when you USB mount the device you can access them. Note - when you mount as USB the console will no longer have access to /media/internal. Jun 16 00:45:22 I have seen a few things in reguards to being able to alter the tones and ringer styles but no one here has responded to me Jun 16 00:45:30 [j0sh]: when you dial it is really loud Jun 16 00:46:31 [dykephiler]: I was looking at the dialpad-assistan.js code and the listener seems to call playDTMF(ket, true). The second parameter is "feedback" but when I changed it to false, it didn't seem to make any difference. Jun 16 00:46:45 [dykephiler]: What have you been looking at? Jun 16 00:46:47 scm6079: its okay to leave it in just charge mode Jun 16 00:46:48 iced, yeah Jun 16 00:46:50 i hate it Jun 16 00:46:53 i noticed that Jun 16 00:47:04 [j0sh]: right so I am trying to turn it off Jun 16 00:47:10 dykephiler: I've been looking at that, too Jun 16 00:47:16 what have you found? Jun 16 00:47:36 Wouldn't jsut guess that "feedback" whould be what I want? Jun 16 00:47:43 IcedError: i have actually been looking at much code at all on the phone, I have just been reading walkthroughs and things like that I just got my phone and today is the first day I have even had a chance to do anything other then make phone calls on it lol Jun 16 00:47:46 I tride false, nothing Jun 16 00:48:15 IcedError: you could comment out the line that plays the sound Jun 16 00:48:18 IcedError there was no numericals assigned to it Jun 16 00:48:28 any of you found a way to access the audio mic yet? Jun 16 00:48:29 I also tried looking for the sound file. I figured I could just put an empty file there, but I couldn't find it Jun 16 00:48:38 did you see what the boolean parameter was actually for? Jun 16 00:48:44 [dykephiler]: It calls playDTMP(key, true) Jun 16 00:48:59 chrisa: http://pastebin.com/d5689d587 Jun 16 00:48:59 key is the number, so that it knows what DTMF tone to play Jun 16 00:49:11 yeah if anyone can help me figure out whats going on with why this script isnt running Jun 16 00:49:15 id appreciate it Jun 16 00:49:17 IcedError, your best bet would be to probably try to remove the command line all together I would thing just elimiate the function Jun 16 00:49:21 when i run the script manually, it works Jun 16 00:49:27 I wouldn't assume it would alter anything else Jun 16 00:49:30 it just doesnt seem to be executing on its own Jun 16 00:49:35 [dykephiler]: but then no tone would be played Jun 16 00:49:47 [dykephiler]: so you couldn't acces voicemail, etc Jun 16 00:49:47 j0sh, did you set it executable? Jun 16 00:49:51 yes Jun 16 00:49:51 true Jun 16 00:49:57 i actually didnt initially, and changed it Jun 16 00:49:59 [dykephiler]: I guess it is a good debudding step Jun 16 00:50:08 unless i did it incorrectly, i just did chmod +rwx Jun 16 00:50:08 right Jun 16 00:50:09 I will try that Jun 16 00:50:17 ShinAli: Have you heard of anyone working on framebuffer access via the Luna display manager yet here or on the forum? Jun 16 00:50:21 just try eliminating it then maybe work backwards from there Jun 16 00:50:37 j0sh, 755 root:root? Jun 16 00:50:40 * rwhitby bbl Jun 16 00:50:44 but if you made it false and that didn't work that is weird Jun 16 00:50:49 is that the command i should enter? Jun 16 00:50:55 chmod 755 root:root Jun 16 00:50:56 scm6079: not really, i'm working on writing a netscape plugin Jun 16 00:51:05 All I should have to do for it to take effect is reboot, right? Jun 16 00:51:06 no, is it that mode? Jun 16 00:51:06 So what about SSH via USB instead of wifi or BT? Jun 16 00:51:13 but that really doesn't mess with the framebuffer Jun 16 00:51:18 but you said you looked to see if you could find the file and you were going to just replace it with an empty file wouldn't that be the same as just deleting the command line all together? Jun 16 00:51:26 is ssh via bt possible? Jun 16 00:51:26 here Jun 16 00:51:27 root@castle:/etc/ppp/ip-up.d# ls -la Jun 16 00:51:27 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 15 20:48 . Jun 16 00:51:27 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jun 13 16:59 .. Jun 16 00:51:27 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 292 Jun 15 20:48 08setupdns Jun 16 00:51:27 I believe so Jun 16 00:51:29 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 136 Jun 15 20:36 09updatedns Jun 16 00:51:33 thats what the dir looks like Jun 16 00:51:43 i've got a few things i'd like to write, which are fairly demo'd in the existing apps. 1. a service to in the end change my wallpaper each time i power on the device. But more probable change after X mins. 2. create a way to enable,disable no-sleep mode for when i ssh in. i've got others too Jun 16 00:51:46 that should work, no idea why not. Jun 16 00:51:50 and the script, which works when i execute it Jun 16 00:51:51 looks like this Jun 16 00:51:53 back later. Jun 16 00:52:19 Yes, SSH via BT is working according to others. My laptop doesn't have BT however... was wondering about using USB connection. Looks like the novaproxy.py requires the dev mode Jun 16 00:52:22 /opt/bin/ez-ipupdate -f -F /home/root/ez/ezrun -b /home/root/ez/ipcache -S dyndns -u user:pass -h hostname -i ppp0 -q Jun 16 00:52:30 obviously with user pass and host replaced Jun 16 00:52:32 Opie-X: thats a great idea I would get on board with that kind of app Jun 16 00:52:56 any suggestions for a good windows client to transfer files via SSH/ Jun 16 00:52:56 ? Jun 16 00:52:59 yeah, i'd like to setup a template and a nice method for installing apps so we can have a small starter toolkit Jun 16 00:53:31 template, not so hard. installing apps, well, i haven't even started in on that yet Jun 16 00:53:32 yeah this whole thing with palm holding on to the sdk is just weird to me Jun 16 00:53:38 well examancer, you could install an ftp server app on the pre and then use your favorite windows ftp client Jun 16 00:53:40 SirWill: have you seen any instructions? Jun 16 00:53:42 thats one option Jun 16 00:53:46 what application do you use to edit the .js files? Jun 16 00:53:47 (for ssh/bt) Jun 16 00:53:56 What is the difference between novacominstaller_x64 and the x86? Jun 16 00:54:07 32-bit or 64-bit Jun 16 00:54:12 whatever, they just want to give them selves a few days of sanity, I'd bet the sdk devs also write webOS. Lets hope they are working on bugs. We can write our own sdk, and they know that Jun 16 00:54:14 does anyone know know why there hording the mojosdk? from a financial stand point it just doesn't make sense to me Jun 16 00:54:23 thats an idea j0sh Jun 16 00:54:31 [dykephiler]: That's what I want to kno Jun 16 00:54:34 true enough Jun 16 00:54:43 I was in the process of setting the password for the user I created and I retyped it wrong so it dropped me to a prompt and said "passwd: password for willjitsu is unchanged. How do I set it now? Jun 16 00:54:44 check the optware repository for an ftp server Jun 16 00:55:05 dykephiler: Presumably it's not done / stable yet Jun 16 00:55:05 WillJitsu: just run passwd again Jun 16 00:55:15 aubilenon Yep for BT this link should help http://forums.precentral.net/web-os-development/185206-possible-tether-work-around-2.html#post1680630 Jun 16 00:55:24 "passwd willjitsu" Jun 16 00:55:29 [aubilenon]: the dev kit should have been out before the device Jun 16 00:55:54 yes Jun 16 00:55:55 very Jun 16 00:56:11 there should have been 500 apps at release Jun 16 00:56:15 ShinAli: I didn't think Netscape plugins were supported by Luna at all? Jun 16 00:56:16 to compete with apple Jun 16 00:56:32 scm6079: they're supported by webkit Jun 16 00:56:38 j0sh: apple didn't have any apps at release. Give it time. Jun 16 00:56:40 but again Opie-X from a financial prospective if your company was on its last leg wouldnt you be doing anything and everything to give your self a leg up. I mean if they had released the SDK a month before the launch of the phone we wouldn't the main stream of people that don't know how to code of hack there phones wouldn't have to wait another 3 to 6 months before they have useful aps for there phones Jun 16 00:56:43 and there's a library called NPAPIInterface.so Jun 16 00:56:45 so Jun 16 00:56:46 oh, i know Jun 16 00:56:52 but apple didnt have a competitor like apple Jun 16 00:57:01 also the lunamediaadapter plugin uses that interface Jun 16 00:57:09 so i'm pretty sure it does Jun 16 00:57:15 IcedError: they should have delayed the phone launch for the dev kit? Jun 16 00:57:21 the pre came out to much fanfare, and as a direct competitor to the iphone, which now has 35k+ apps Jun 16 00:57:25 the SDK is probably still changing its API.. and they dont want to frustrate a bunch of "to be " devs.. :-/ Jun 16 00:57:39 dykephiler it's lose, lose ya know. i totally agree with you Jun 16 00:57:50 Its just irritating Jun 16 00:57:55 ShinAli: Very cool. I have a whole plethora of old Netscape plugins I wrote for a company I worked for from years ago. Very cool. Sounds like a promising route to have a "single application" that provides the direct hw access we want. Jun 16 00:58:06 they want this phone to be all it can be they want it to compete with the iphone Jun 16 00:58:10 but we can write our own Jun 16 00:58:21 does anyone know how to force wifi to stay on when the phone goes to sleep mode? Jun 16 00:58:24 but there making all the mistakes the first generation iphones made Jun 16 00:58:29 Burnettj: i play mp3 Jun 16 00:58:31 scm6079 Jun 16 00:58:36 turn sleep mode off Jun 16 00:58:38 lol Jun 16 00:58:43 dykephiler: tell it not to go into sleep mode. Jun 16 00:58:48 that what palm is dong i think Jun 16 00:58:48 j0sh: Sure they did -- Windows Mobile. We forget since they are being walked all over now. Jun 16 00:58:57 what are the main files to edit what content is displayed and where in an app? Jun 16 00:59:33 PreGame: You can start with the appinfo.js file - in the app folder root, which will tell you where to start. Jun 16 00:59:59 PreGame: Then from there - check out the view directory, and you can customize the HTML/CSS/Images of the screens you want. Jun 16 01:00:46 ShinAli: I think it uses npapi for every5thing, what I can't understand is everything is inprocess or not Jun 16 01:00:48 [scm6079]: have you looked into the phone app? Jun 16 01:01:11 tmzt: i dunno, maybe. it'd make sense Jun 16 01:01:22 I know this is a NO NO and I hope I don't get kicked for it but would someone be willing to PM about tethering? Jun 16 01:01:24 but then i didn't see NPAPI being used in the classic adapter Jun 16 01:01:31 engage teleport Jun 16 01:01:33 Any of you found a way to access the audio mic yet? Jun 16 01:01:36 at least not from the object header Jun 16 01:01:40 that was fast! Jun 16 01:02:06 I'm at Step #17 in the root process and I am able to ssh using putty to the phone, and it asks for my username, but when I enter the password, it just closes the window. any ideas? Jun 16 01:02:15 YES! Jun 16 01:02:24 I wes able to mute the dialing sound Jun 16 01:02:31 how Iced? Jun 16 01:02:36 thats a weird one WillJitsu Jun 16 01:02:46 scm6079: I did that but no luck. I thought index.html file would be it seeing as how that is what html does Jun 16 01:02:48 and only for dialing. Jun 16 01:02:55 When you are in a call it still works! Jun 16 01:03:07 WillJitsu: you're setting the port? Jun 16 01:03:17 IcedError how'd you do it? Jun 16 01:03:17 I am thrilled Jun 16 01:03:19 oh wait it wouldn't ask you your pw otherwise Jun 16 01:03:35 I am not supposed to post code, right? Jun 16 01:03:53 I was just curious Jun 16 01:04:01 hold on iced Jun 16 01:04:08 if it has a big ol' copyright then probably not Jun 16 01:04:11 aubilenon: yeah port 222 right? Jun 16 01:04:14 nm, I don't need to post it Jun 16 01:04:17 WillJitsu: yeah Jun 16 01:05:06 [dykephiler]: comment out line 509 in /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.phone/app/controllers/dialpad-assistant.js Jun 16 01:05:19 aubilenon: yeah i don't know what's happening. it won't log me into a shell prompt. just basically craps out after entering the password Jun 16 01:05:27 offtopic question, but are malts basically less thick milkshakes? Jun 16 01:05:31 so basically you just removed it Jun 16 01:05:37 PreGame: Think CSS more than HTML. The JS writes the page, with the CSS controlling things. The index.html is the "launch" page - but almost always that is immediately replaces with a specific view. Look at the apps/view folder. Jun 16 01:05:54 yep, but it still works. And that only effect when you arn't in a call Jun 16 01:05:58 IcedError: No - not really. Just enough to see how to dial the phone. Jun 16 01:06:28 [scm6079]: I got what I was trying to do, mute the dtmf tones when dialing, so thanks Jun 16 01:06:33 IcedError: I made a wiki entry about it Jun 16 01:06:43 [dykephiler]: yes I basically removed it Jun 16 01:06:45 IcedError: There's another line to mute so it doesn't make noise for the ahrdwarekeys Jun 16 01:06:49 awesome Jun 16 01:06:52 [jblebrun_irssi]: stealing my credit :) Jun 16 01:06:57 IcedError: :D Cool deal. Jun 16 01:07:02 IcedError: When did you do it? :-P Jun 16 01:07:06 lol no figure out how to customize the alerts LOL Jun 16 01:07:18 Do you have a wiki id? Jun 16 01:07:30 i thought CSS controls the style, HTML the placement, and JS controlling things? Jun 16 01:07:59 well there are JS model scripts as well for data structs and stuff Jun 16 01:08:11 or should I just put "IcedErrr from IRC" Jun 16 01:08:13 [jblebrun_irssi]: What do you mean when did I do it? Jun 16 01:08:32 No account. I am not speciall enough, it says I need a password Jun 16 01:08:43 Pretty freaking funny having a linux distro in pocket Jun 16 01:08:47 You can sign up fora wiki account, and then ask for an edit password Jun 16 01:08:55 ok Jun 16 01:09:03 [jblebrun_irssi]: where did you put it? Jun 16 01:09:06 I'll change the creds to you. Jun 16 01:09:09 Stock Application mods Jun 16 01:09:09 ShinAli: CSS the position / placement, JS when it is in the DOM, HTML very little - just a container. Jun 16 01:09:12 Guess it's not a distro but you get the jist Jun 16 01:09:16 [jblebrun_irssi]: I was really just kidding Jun 16 01:09:36 aubilenon: no ideas? Jun 16 01:09:50 It's good to give credit where credit is due :-D Jun 16 01:10:09 [jblebrun_irssi]: Where are you putting it?

IcedError Jun 16 01:16:33 * hemna is re reading chapter 1 Jun 16 01:16:38 JamesBaud. type vi launcher-assistant.js Jun 16 01:16:42 JamesBaud: Once you do that - you can tell your phone to act as USB device, and access the files via USB too. :) Jun 16 01:16:43 anyone know how to delete the account I created on the phone in linux?

You could do it the long way, and remove them from shadow, passwd and home. Jun 16 01:17:55 cp -rp launcher-assistant.js /media/internal/backup Jun 16 01:18:03 scm6079: I don't mind doing that if you can help me with the commands :) Jun 16 01:18:25 jblebrun_irssi: the stock-application-mods page isn't listed on the index (on the side) Jun 16 01:18:28 ...

Jun 16 01:28:49 doesnt matter really Jun 16 01:28:58 cool Jun 16 01:28:59 once you reboot telnet will be disabled again Jun 16 01:29:07 gotcha Jun 16 01:29:09 so you better make sure ssh is working Jun 16 01:29:13 or youll have to run the script again Jun 16 01:29:29 i mean, ive had to do it a few times now, but i have everything all set up for it Jun 16 01:29:30 rebooting the phone now... gonna test when it's back up Jun 16 01:29:40 well you can test ssh now Jun 16 01:29:42 you dont have to wait Jun 16 01:30:01 it works Jun 16 01:30:06 excellent Jun 16 01:30:12 did you isntall the upstart script Jun 16 01:30:16 so it runs automatically Jun 16 01:30:16 yep Jun 16 01:30:19 good Jun 16 01:30:42 Does anyone else see repeated character when telneted in over usb? Jun 16 01:30:46 Okay, so I added two providers to universal search, and everything is working except there is no picture. The button for the search is blank. Any ideas? Jun 16 01:31:03 I have the correctly named images in the correct spots and they match the names in the CSS file. Jun 16 01:31:12 ok, done, time to reboot and test out Jun 16 01:31:12 Do they need specific permissions by chance? Jun 16 01:31:52 When you run "mount -o remount,ro /" shouldn't it change the first entry in the mount command? Jun 16 01:32:03 bless you Jun 16 01:32:06 I run "mount -o remount,ro /" and still see "rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)" Jun 16 01:32:07 wow I just found the progress bar for the music player!!!

So that if you remove the dashboard notification that it will add it if it doesnt exist when you go to card view again. Jun 16 01:32:55 ohh, do you mean to view or actually seek?

Jun 16 01:34:00 The bar its self Jun 16 01:34:08 is there a CLI js debugger installed? Jun 16 01:34:22 I believe the way the progress widget is created that it will do seeking Jun 16 01:34:27 I have to investigate more Jun 16 01:34:27 oops. i edited launcher-assistant.js to remove */ /*'s and now center button wont open launcher?!?!? Jun 16 01:34:45 it does add/remove new pages...take my losses or fix it?

Jun 16 01:35:23 Ahchoo what happened Jun 16 01:35:39 I did the same while messing with the music player Jun 16 01:35:45 lost the ability to go to card view Jun 16 01:35:48 can i fix? Jun 16 01:35:51 yeah Jun 16 01:36:44 Ill brb I want to go back messing with this music player notification thing.

Jun 16 01:37:29 well it would be great if someone could get it to wake up the phone!!! Jun 16 01:37:39 i hate that button up top Jun 16 01:37:53 IcedError: i'm actually fond of it toggling the card view/app focus. Jun 16 01:37:55 everfine: it would be nice at times but i'm afraid it would wake in my pocket Jun 16 01:38:00 I just flick up Jun 16 01:38:05 everfine: yeah.. that top button is a pain to hit for some reason. Jun 16 01:38:05 you cant even get to it when the phone is open and the center would be so much better than spacebar Jun 16 01:38:07 aha Jun 16 01:38:16 anyone found the messaging notification mp3 that we can replace? Jun 16 01:38:23 does anyone know how the proximity sensor works?

Someone told me how to do it right before you Jun 16 01:41:47 KCMO: thanks I'll download and look into that now Jun 16 01:41:52 lol Jun 16 01:42:08 everfine: It's the asound utility that plays the sound, it shouldnt need to be a specific rate / bit depth Jun 16 01:42:16 I just made a small update to http://predev.wikidot.com/change-the-default-notification-wav-sound Jun 16 01:42:22 don't gett me wrong i've been using linux off and on since i was a child. I love it but it's not what i work in. So, when a fun projects come up i always have to remember standard usage stuff. It's the same on both bsd, osx, and linux Jun 16 01:42:28 mkdir Jun 16 01:42:31 if anyone is following it presently, make sure you refresh Jun 16 01:43:10 is the wifi connection supposed to shut down when the screen goes blank? Jun 16 01:43:21 the wikipage says it must be 44.1kHz 16-bit Jun 16 01:43:30 WillJitsu: keep it plugged in (just charge is file) Jun 16 01:43:31 [WillJitsu]: no Jun 16 01:43:58 chattin in yahoo on my pre lol Jun 16 01:44:07 JackieRipper: so it does need to be plugged in via usb while making changes? Jun 16 01:44:10 now I know I am bored Jun 16 01:44:12 wifi shuts off with the screen when unplugged Jun 16 01:44:17 playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on mine Jun 16 01:44:18 it'll stay on if you're plugged in Jun 16 01:44:22 WillJitsu: I have found that, yes Jun 16 01:44:25 unless you play music Jun 16 01:44:25 You can also listen to Pandora to keep the wifi on Jun 16 01:44:33 chatting here on the pre ;) Jun 16 01:44:54 KCMOStealth: i bet batter is slightly better with just music, since you're not so wifi chatty Jun 16 01:44:58 so there must be something in the pandora app that forces wifi to stay on Jun 16 01:45:00 anyone know how to make that Pandora notification on the bottom shut off. I feel its slowing everything down Jun 16 01:45:03 [konsolePre]: how? Do you have a term? Jun 16 01:45:12 hemna: ya, usage Jun 16 01:45:14 is fbcon is /sys/module ? Jun 16 01:45:25 KCMOStealth: ok got Putty... what's the host name? or do I use IP? Jun 16 01:45:30 konsolePre: how? Jun 16 01:45:39 compile an irc client? Jun 16 01:45:48 They also disabled the ability to view timeleft and current progress along with the progress bar for the music player I am enabling them now to see what I get Jun 16 01:45:53 I have an ssh term into my pre....I can hold down the return key on my kb and the wifi still goes to sleep Jun 16 01:46:05 man Jun 16 01:46:08 so if I'm connected to wifi using gtalk to chat with people, and I let the screen turn off, I only get new messages b/c I have a cellular data connection? it isn't using wifi until I turn the screen back on? Jun 16 01:46:08 this is so weird Jun 16 01:46:15 is there a way i can check to see if my ssh works via mac? Jun 16 01:46:18 optware centerim, still requires remote ssh, for now :( Jun 16 01:46:22 if i make 3 scripts it runs perfectly Jun 16 01:46:32 but if i put the command in 1 script, 3 times Jun 16 01:46:33 i enabled optware but the end was iffy Jun 16 01:46:35 it does not work Jun 16 01:47:16 jk175d: ip: 127.0.0.1, port is what it says on novaproxy, and select raw mode. Jun 16 01:47:17 is fbcon in /sys/module ? Jun 16 01:47:40 it's disabled on the command line but the attributes might be in there Jun 16 01:47:54 then chvt should work without luna running Jun 16 01:48:31 can you add a command line to search? Jun 16 01:48:49 it had to have been using ipc to enable dev mode anyway Jun 16 01:49:12 I just copied an Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 11025 Hz, Mono wav file in place of notification.wav and it worked perfectly Jun 16 01:49:39 whats better(as in easier) dropbear or openssh? Jun 16 01:50:11 Ahchoo: lets see the screens Jun 16 01:51:00 Im still working on it. I need to check the HTML nothing is showing up, but I fear I may have to restart my phone. Jun 16 01:51:23 anyone wanna help me with some root stuff.....i suck pretty bad with telnet and putty Jun 16 01:51:32 is there a command in vi to go to a specific line number? Jun 16 01:51:41 ill give you a copy of my companies games.... Jun 16 01:51:41 KCMOStealth: thanks! that's got it. Still new to me so I'm sure I'll have another question Jun 16 01:51:47 WillJitsu Jun 16 01:51:48 yes Jun 16 01:51:50 there is Jun 16 01:51:50 WillJitsu: a colon, followed by the line # Jun 16 01:51:56 ha nice. thanks Jun 16 01:51:57 JackRipper: You should write an app that lets you change your notification from a GUI ;-) Jun 16 01:51:59 : Jun 16 01:52:10 how do i ssh into my pre using mac? i know EVDO and WiFi address and username Jun 16 01:52:37 there is a really good basic vi commands, WillJitsu: i also recommend using nano, it's simple to install with '/opt/ipkg-opt install nano' Jun 16 01:52:37 everfine: ssh -p 222 username@ipaddress Jun 16 01:52:38 do i novaterm into root@castle first Jun 16 01:52:44 jblebrun: I fear that would be duplicate effort. I'm sure that's one of the first things palm will update, give their feedback Jun 16 01:52:55 jk175d: cool no problem Jun 16 01:52:55 konsoleX: which ipaddress Jun 16 01:53:01 agreed jackie Jun 16 01:53:16 can someone help me with the permaroam hack?? Jun 16 01:53:28 I'm much more interested in an ssh client accessible from the gui Jun 16 01:53:39 konsoleX: /bin/sh: ssh: not found Jun 16 01:53:51 permaroam??? There is already an option to allow the phone to roam. Jun 16 01:53:59 JackieRipper: know one for Mac? Jun 16 01:54:02 bsiegel: How's your dbus-based shell idea going? Jun 16 01:54:16 ahchoo, there is documented ways to make it ONLY roam so in my office i can get a vzw signal.... Jun 16 01:54:17 anyone know how to root the phone with linux? Jun 16 01:54:26 everfine: mac doesn't have a native ssh client? Jun 16 01:54:29 that is so odd Jun 16 01:54:37 root@castle:/# ssh -p 222 everfine@10.0.1.4 Jun 16 01:54:39 OS X totally comes with ssh installed Jun 16 01:54:47 everfine, osx has ssh installed Jun 16 01:54:57 Ahchoo: any luck with the meida player? Jun 16 01:55:03 anyone know where the console.log() calls go ? Jun 16 01:55:05 i got /bin/sh: ssh: not found Jun 16 01:55:14 everfine: are you going out from your tree? Jun 16 01:55:21 omg JackieRipper is you work on an ssh gui client for the Pre let me know. That is a freaking brilliant idea. I didnt even think of that. Jun 16 01:55:26 everfine: you have to have dropbear(ssh) running on the pre (follow those instructions within novaterm if you have not), and the ip address you can use is either your wifi address (can get that from the wifi preferences) or EVDO address (checkip.dyndns.org) Jun 16 01:55:27 I trying to add the launcher command to create and delete pages, and when I try to save the launcher-assistant.js file, it says it's read only. did I miss a step? Jun 16 01:55:27 from ./novaterm Jun 16 01:55:39 konsoleX: i installed dropbear Jun 16 01:55:45 how do i run it? Jun 16 01:55:48 WillJitsu: you have to mount the rootfilesystem read-write again Jun 16 01:56:10 eh... don't try to run "ssh" from within novaterm Jun 16 01:56:20 ok... Jun 16 01:56:21 everfine: open a new terminal window and use the command above Jun 16 01:56:28 everfine: either update you PATH to include /opt/bin, or do the full path to ssh (/opt/bin/ssh -p 222 ......) Jun 16 01:56:43 what do you do if you're trying to run the talk.py script, and you get "no connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it" yet the windows firewall is disabled, the router firewall is disabled the novacom drivers are installed, and the phone is in developer mode? this is on windows vista... Jun 16 01:56:53 Connection refused Jun 16 01:57:00 everfine, http://predev.wikidot.com/adding-the-ipkg-repository Jun 16 01:57:02 JackieRipper: ok so everytime I do one of these hacks, I need to ssh in, su to root, then run "rootfs_open -w", correct? Jun 16 01:57:11 hemna: already done Jun 16 01:57:13 WillJitsu: yes Jun 16 01:57:15 hemna: figure out where those calls go? i think you'll need the SDK to view them. Jun 16 01:57:28 everfine, step 15 says how to do it Jun 16 01:57:30 and then, to be safe, run mount -o ro,remount / Jun 16 01:57:30 start it that is Jun 16 01:57:35 when you're done Jun 16 01:57:38 JackieRipper: got it. thanks Jun 16 01:57:45 datafirm, yah that looks like something that could get dumped into firebug :P Jun 16 01:57:48 Have you tried doing an scp to the pre yet? Jun 16 01:58:03 Ahchoo, I've done scp from the Pre -> another box Jun 16 01:58:15 oh sweet Jun 16 01:58:23 just have to install openssh Jun 16 01:58:28 and then scp lives in /opt/bin/scp Jun 16 01:58:33 david-henleys-macbook-pro:bin home$ initctl start webos-sshenabler Jun 16 01:58:40 im sick of looking at these files via telnet/ssh and would prefer to drop them on my linux box Jun 16 01:58:41 -bash: initctl: command not found Jun 16 01:58:58 am i in the wrong directory Jun 16 01:59:04 hemna: you can do scp with dropbear as wee, but I prefer OpenSSH, so I won't encourage anyone to switch one way or the other Jun 16 01:59:05 sudo ? Jun 16 01:59:09 Ahchoo: you can copy files to /media/internal and then use the usb drive feature Jun 16 01:59:10 Ahchoo: yeah it's much easier Jun 16 01:59:10 wee=well Jun 16 01:59:11 JackieRipper: hmmm, I'm getting "sh: rootfs_open: not found" Jun 16 01:59:29 root@castle:/var/home/root# which initctl Jun 16 01:59:30 /sbin/initctl Jun 16 01:59:34 WillJitsu: try mount -o rw,remount / Jun 16 01:59:36 hemna: You can use Mojo.Log, and you'll get output in /var/log/messages Jun 16 01:59:38 is /sbin not in your path everfine Jun 16 01:59:48 jblebrun, thnx Jun 16 01:59:51 looks like everifne isn't in the phone ? Jun 16 02:00:14 everfine: echo $PATH Jun 16 02:00:36 everfine: use initctl from the novaterm Jun 16 02:00:45 anyone? tips? tricks? Jun 16 02:00:57 another basic question. in putty how do I get open a particular file for edits? Jun 16 02:01:01 when i did root@castle:/var/home/root# initctl start webos-sshenabler it says running, process 2256 Jun 16 02:01:19 is that all? Jun 16 02:01:28 the only thing I want to do is enable adding/deleting launcher pages Jun 16 02:01:42 jk175d: not sure what you mean. You give the file name as an argument to the editor Jun 16 02:02:07 fo if you want to edit /usr/foo/bar, you would type vi /etc/foo/bar Jun 16 02:02:14 fo=so Jun 16 02:02:44 whats the command to run the shell? Jun 16 02:03:07 everfine: i think it means your dropbear is running Jun 16 02:03:12 i did root@castle:/var/home/root# ssh -p 222 everfine@10.0.1.4 and it says /bin/sh: ssh: not found Jun 16 02:03:20 after "running" dropbear Jun 16 02:03:30 if i get this plugin working i'm thinking i can fork the shell in a plugin and have a in-webOS shell Jun 16 02:03:30 everfine: don't run ssh from novaterm Jun 16 02:03:33 jblebrun you in? Jun 16 02:03:41 where do i run it form? Jun 16 02:03:47 everfine: run ssh from a new terminal window that isn't running novaterm Jun 16 02:04:06 ok. is ~ home$ a good directory to run it fomr? Jun 16 02:04:32 pyrognome: yeah but leaving for the train in like 10 mins Jun 16 02:04:34 everfine: anywhere is fine, not in novaterm Jun 16 02:04:41 you have a fast secoond Jun 16 02:04:45 you guys probably get this a lot, but when I am trying to root my pre over usb, I get this error: Errno 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it Jun 16 02:04:48 \win 7 Jun 16 02:04:49 found my problem Jun 16 02:04:55 i ran it from home$ ssh -p 222 everfine@10.0.1.4 and it says ssh: connect to host 10.0.1.4 port 222: Connection refused Jun 16 02:04:57 I have the windows firewall off, and I'm running windows vista 32 bit Jun 16 02:05:00 in new terminal window Jun 16 02:05:24 everfine: 10.0.1.4 is your wifi address of the pre?

Jun 16 02:07:07 port 22 Jun 16 02:07:22 22? Jun 16 02:07:35 maybe we should have a separate help channel? this way we can still discuss the webos internals? Jun 16 02:07:42 everfine: port 222 if you are using dropbear with defaults Jun 16 02:07:51 datafirm: that may be a good idea Jun 16 02:08:10 datafirm: great idea Jun 16 02:08:29 konsoleX: i followed the Optware package instructions Jun 16 02:08:38 datafirm, good idea Jun 16 02:08:46 if an op agrees, we can post it to the wiki Jun 16 02:09:06 it seems that the wiki has to be written for linux 101 people Jun 16 02:09:27 datafirm: how about #webos-internals-gettingstarted Jun 16 02:09:30 pyrognome: yeah.. :-/ Jun 16 02:09:35 JackieRipper: good idea. Jun 16 02:09:36 it that too long? Jun 16 02:09:39 pyrognome, except that there aren't instructions on how to root with linux :( Jun 16 02:09:41 datafirm: that's a really good idea Jun 16 02:09:45 JackieRipper: verboseness is magical! Jun 16 02:09:49 well some is in linux like bunzip2, some is written for mac/pc Jun 16 02:09:51 I hate to be "that guy" but can someoen please help? I'm not new to linux or computers in general... I just cant root my phone for some reason... just need to be set in the right direction... Jun 16 02:09:58 I meant from a IRC perspective Jun 16 02:10:00 I have time at work to dummy it down,but I am part dummy so i don't know how much help id be Jun 16 02:10:15 JackieRipper: oh.. not sure if there is a limit? Jun 16 02:10:16 http://predev.wikidot.com/rooting Jun 16 02:10:20 is there a character limit?

Jun 16 02:12:19 I used to work in Unix tech support, so I'm pretty good with the linux-newbie questions, and I'm very glad to help, but I'd also like to see some deeper discussion of the internals Jun 16 02:12:25 any one made any progress with the vibrate function call? Jun 16 02:12:43 PuTTY for Mac? Jun 16 02:12:47 I was playing with Vibrate.vibrate() but broke everything I tested it with Jun 16 02:13:22 everfine: you dont' need putty you have ssh in terminal Jun 16 02:13:52 konsoleX: what could be a possibility of the Op timing out? Jun 16 02:13:52 i think you'll need to change the appId to "appId":"com.palm.app.browser" ? Jun 16 02:14:52 everfine: good question, from the novaterm if you run the command "ps ax | grep dropbear" what shows?
