**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Jul 05 02:59:58 2009 Jul 05 03:04:51 so can somebody make a plugin that just dumps events on stderr? Jul 05 03:09:52 raster: hey Jul 05 03:10:03 pong Jul 05 03:10:04 :) Jul 05 03:11:04 ok, palm pre is omap3450 based device, shipping with a variant of oe using the upstart init program Jul 05 03:11:27 the main webos environment is a program called lunasysmgr Jul 05 03:11:56 and what is the Jul 05 03:12:02 "environment" ? Jul 05 03:13:32 linux? Jul 05 03:14:11 webos programs are mostly html and javascript and use an ipc library from javascript to communicate with the system, access pim data, run system binaries, etc. Jul 05 03:14:21 not really, not if we're talking about lunasysmgr, tharris- Jul 05 03:14:40 the environemnet resembles a web browser based on webkit Jul 05 03:14:54 it essentially mmaps the framebuffer Jul 05 03:15:12 there is no X or other display manager Jul 05 03:15:44 well the environment is linux using a proprietary interface using Luna Jul 05 03:15:47 luna appears to do some kind of sychronization for rendering into the fb over ipc Jul 05 03:16:13 and passes pointers or handles to the surfaces with pixmap data in unix shm Jul 05 03:16:29 its a glue to pass data to handlers to do stuff =p Jul 05 03:16:40 that's what were trying to figure out Jul 05 03:17:18 from my work thats what id does =p Jul 05 03:17:23 i* Jul 05 03:17:27 it* Jul 05 03:18:34 Is it possible to buy one without going through sprint? Jul 05 03:18:57 I guess that wouldn't be possible as it's not GSM heh Jul 05 03:20:49 tmzt, is that why windows keeps failing to install the OMAP3430 driver? Jul 05 03:21:19 we have patches to webkit/webcore from palm at opensource.palm.com Jul 05 03:21:22 is what? Jul 05 03:22:01 Whenever I plug in my Pre windows tries to install OMAP3430 and fails at it. Jul 05 03:22:18 Well, it actually does that during eject or mode switch operations Jul 05 03:22:37 yeah, thatqs the cpu Jul 05 03:24:13 So I was taking a look at the wish list item to show all day events in the monthview of the calendar. It's been real fun. Jul 05 03:26:04 haven't done any js stuff Jul 05 03:26:22 hey raster, welcome. Jul 05 03:26:34 I really want to see native code running in luna Jul 05 03:26:53 terminal, ssh, vnc, X, etc. Jul 05 03:27:04 hmm Jul 05 03:27:13 so u have multiple webkit enginews running Jul 05 03:27:19 each with a "page" (app window) Jul 05 03:27:28 card, yes Jul 05 03:27:32 it seems so Jul 05 03:27:42 they export data via shm to a central conpositor/ui engine (think of itas compositor+wm+xserver basically) Jul 05 03:27:43 a ps -e f would be helpful Jul 05 03:27:48 raster: dunno whether there are multiple running, or just one with multiple cards Jul 05 03:27:54 well seems someone has ported an SDL port of DOOM to run on the pre heh Jul 05 03:28:08 using framebuffer Jul 05 03:28:11 yeah Jul 05 03:28:13 not composited Jul 05 03:28:34 rwhitby: wits! yo Jul 05 03:28:55 i'm more i8nterested the other way around Jul 05 03:29:01 have somethnig that can show pre apps Jul 05 03:29:05 ie pretend to be luna Jul 05 03:29:17 it shouldnt be too hard - thats my guess Jul 05 03:30:06 rwhitby: well 1 with multiple will be better on cache sharing Jul 05 03:33:05 raster: So replace luna so you can run native apps and webos apps side by side? Jul 05 03:33:52 yup Jul 05 03:33:58 that would be the ultimate :) Jul 05 03:34:06 eg an x app that simply pops up a window per luna "card" Jul 05 03:34:33 and handles passing events back to the luna card holder - and hndles any messages sich as resizes etc. Jul 05 03:37:17 that would open the door to native development AND palm pre wbeos-style together Jul 05 03:37:23 indeed Jul 05 03:37:25 using standard known toolkits (gtk, qt, wfl, sdl) Jul 05 03:37:40 all you need is a wm/compositor that matches up to the pre's existing ui Jul 05 03:37:42 I still can't believe they went with Sprint for the initial rollout in the US.... Jul 05 03:38:00 Vz says they are getting it end of the year Jul 05 03:38:49 raster: Just have to be able to replicate luna's API for the webos apps :) Jul 05 03:40:08 raster: So are you going to buy one when it goes GSM? Jul 05 03:40:24 mekius: really? Sprint has carried almost all of Palm's previous phones Jul 05 03:40:25 thats my plan Jul 05 03:40:28 but depends on other things Jul 05 03:40:43 as yesterday i got an offer for fulltime with someone else Jul 05 03:40:49 I'm on sprint because they had an exclusive on the 755p... Jul 05 03:40:56 need to check out the details though before anything Jul 05 03:41:48 true Jul 05 03:41:53 summatusmentis: Sprint sucks heh Jul 05 03:42:09 Sprint is cheaper Jul 05 03:42:10 summatusmentis: Whether or not they have a relationship is beyond the point, they are hurting themselves here :/ Jul 05 03:42:16 Xerran: For a reason... Jul 05 03:42:27 raster: oooh nice :) Jul 05 03:42:33 I am better off with sprint than T-mobile Jul 05 03:43:12 Xerran: der Jul 05 03:43:15 I have no complaints currently with my pre or sprint Jul 05 03:43:18 mekius: Sprint really isn't that bad. Yes, Sprint is a small carrier compared to Verizon, but they also tend to be a lot more open Jul 05 03:43:30 I've been on Sprint for a year and have had no issues Jul 05 03:43:38 The biggest issue I had with Sprint when I first moved was picturemail vs. MMS Jul 05 03:43:38 Since they went CDMA only in the US they should have gone Vz who has a larger customer base and isn't known to have terrible customer service Jul 05 03:43:51 They aren't going to convince a whole lot of people to switch to Sprint just to get a Pre Jul 05 03:44:06 Verizon has never had launch exclusives with Palm for some reason. Jul 05 03:44:06 problem is - sprint is cdma Jul 05 03:44:13 your phone wont go outside of the usa Jul 05 03:44:13 Apple did that witht he iPhone Jul 05 03:44:18 Sprint's customer service has come a long ways in the last couple years. Jul 05 03:44:19 come to australia - and it wont work Jul 05 03:44:21 or europe Jul 05 03:44:24 or... Jul 05 03:44:28 raster: Sure :) Jul 05 03:44:40 (it'll work in south korea!) Jul 05 03:44:42 And maybe it's a good thing that Palm rolled it out on a carrier with a smaller customer base, so they could work the bugs out Jul 05 03:44:44 Thus why they are pretty much forced to do a GSM version elsewhere, I just hope it comes to the US too Jul 05 03:44:47 this baseband is msm6800 Jul 05 03:44:55 SirWill: Oh? Jul 05 03:45:09 mekius: Sprints customer service is significantly better than it used to be, and their reputation is not really fair anymore Jul 05 03:45:09 one seems to exist anyway, according to engadget Jul 05 03:45:10 SirWill: I still hear horror stories from their current customers, but maybe they just get a bad person heh Jul 05 03:45:11 raster, are you gonna fill your pre full of Sheila's? :P Jul 05 03:45:23 Xerran: HAHYAHAHAHAHA Jul 05 03:46:19 There are bad experiences at every company when it comes to customer service. I have interacted with them many times over the last 3 years. 3 years ago, not so good, 2 years ago better. Recently no real issues. Jul 05 03:47:02 tmzt: msm6 is pretty common Jul 05 03:47:10 hey raster, can you take a look at the webcore patch from palm, in the the graphics/palm dir can you tell us what toolkit the GS* API is based on? Jul 05 03:47:14 SirWill: Well that's good to hear Jul 05 03:47:14 a bunch of samsung and htc phones have it for sure Jul 05 03:47:27 raster: http://opensource.palm.com/1.0.4/index.html Jul 05 03:47:28 I can not wait until FLASH drops on WebOS Jul 05 03:47:35 SirWill: I know a lot of people I know that had NexTel jumped ship when they got bought out due to the customer service heh Jul 05 03:47:41 yes, but this one is supposed to support gsm and cdma depending on sbi rf chips Jul 05 03:47:51 rwhitby: i'll take a look Jul 05 03:48:29 mekus: yeah, that was a few years ago. Sprint has worked hard to improve stuff. Jul 05 03:48:39 or fears they were droping iDEN Jul 05 03:49:48 As it is now, Nextel phones, voice is going cdma, push to talk and data is iDEN. Data on iDEN SUCKS Jul 05 03:50:07 yes Jul 05 03:50:15 data is iDEN? really? Jul 05 03:50:50 raster: http://palm.cdnetworks.net/opensource/1.0.4/webkit-patch.gz Jul 05 03:51:04 Not sure if they transitioned the data yet. When they first did the hybrid phones I know that was the case. Jul 05 03:51:12 rwhitby: already got it up Jul 05 03:51:26 I was working for the company that handled ALL of the SMS Messaging for Nextel. Jul 05 03:51:27 that makes no sense Jul 05 03:51:54 http://www.flickr.com/photos/jmrocher2001/3467727293/sizes/l/in/set-72157594557424169/? Jul 05 03:52:02 Yes! We Pants! Jul 05 03:52:04 the hybrid phone had to have two basebands, qualcomm and motorola I would think Jul 05 03:52:12 No Pants! No LIFE! Jul 05 03:52:59 I don't know how they engineered it. Jul 05 03:53:24 maybe just sms bearer was iDEN Jul 05 03:54:25 I remeber the later adds discussing fastest data network or something Jul 05 03:55:13 on sprint. not on nextel. I don't they have ever claimed fast data. Boost uses the nextel network, and their data sucks. Unless they have changed recently. Jul 05 03:55:30 Anyhow, not that much of a discussion for this channel I suppose. Jul 05 03:55:53 raster: I guess it is a good thing I have pants then. Jul 05 03:56:52 it is! Jul 05 03:56:56 No Pants! No LIFE! Jul 05 04:02:00 SirWill: yeah, there should be a special FreeNode channel where people in the US can complain to each other about how bad their carriers are ... ;-) Jul 05 04:02:33 I win, all carriers suck, because my apartment is a deadzone for EVERYONE. Jul 05 04:02:34 my friend just got a Pre, I can't keep hanging out with technophiles Jul 05 04:03:17 I wonder if I can install VoIP on the phone and have it recieve calls over wireless. Jul 05 04:03:17 raster: know anyone who is an npapi (browser plugin) expert? Jul 05 04:03:21 carrier argument discussions can go on for days... everyone has a different experience due to geographical locations and customer service. Should just leave it at that Jul 05 04:03:41 rwhitby: holger Jul 05 04:03:44 raster: seems that all significant apps (those that have real backend C++ code) just exist as browser plugins. Jul 05 04:03:52 well he's just in general ll over webkit Jul 05 04:03:56 like stink on poo Jul 05 04:04:09 ah, yeah I forgot about zecke Jul 05 04:04:27 :) Jul 05 04:14:03 ho hum Jul 05 04:22:49 pre won't work in south korea - i believe they use 450MHz :( Jul 05 04:23:05 really? Jul 05 04:23:09 my 3g phone does Jul 05 04:23:56 cdma ? Jul 05 04:24:00 bpadalino: cdma? (not wcdma) Jul 05 04:24:07 yeah Jul 05 04:24:08 yeah, i thought they used a 450MHz CDMA Jul 05 04:24:14 let met ask the google - they know all Jul 05 04:25:19 http://www.cdg.org/worldwide/index.asp?h_area=1&h_country=5&h_technology=99 - according to that, i am completely wrong! Jul 05 04:26:20 makes me a sad panda :( Jul 05 04:27:39 raster, do you visit south korea pretty often ? Jul 05 04:35:41 bpadalino: been there 3 times in the last 9 months Jul 05 04:35:52 wow, that is quite a lot .. how do you like it there ? Jul 05 04:35:59 hmmm Jul 05 04:36:06 decent people - nice Jul 05 04:36:12 civilized Jul 05 04:36:23 have you picked up much/any of the language ? Jul 05 04:36:25 the writing drives me nuts Jul 05 04:36:30 hnmm Jul 05 04:36:32 a few words Jul 05 04:36:41 my brain is in "to many languages" mode Jul 05 04:36:47 "beer" "please" "thank you" and "cheers" ? Jul 05 04:36:49 :) Jul 05 04:36:53 yeah Jul 05 04:36:55 i can do those Jul 05 04:36:57 and a few more Jul 05 04:37:02 ooh, an over achiever Jul 05 04:37:11 hahahahahah Jul 05 04:37:22 well i alrteady speak jaopanese, english, grman, frenc, portuguese Jul 05 04:37:27 'err japanese Jul 05 04:37:30 already Jul 05 04:37:32 that's a lot of languages Jul 05 04:37:33 french Jul 05 04:37:44 all i remember from french is "je suis la jeune fille" Jul 05 04:37:48 so my brain is complaining now its too much Jul 05 04:37:52 hahahahah Jul 05 04:38:04 mais vous et belle aussi? Jul 05 04:38:06 err Jul 05 04:38:07 etes Jul 05 04:38:09 not et Jul 05 04:38:51 i'm a dude .. so that whole french line doesn't help me out :( Jul 05 04:38:55 but overall korea isnt bad Jul 05 04:39:14 well you said "i am the young girl" Jul 05 04:39:28 right - which just makes the whole phrase i remembered very ironic .. and confusing Jul 05 04:39:30 so you're obviously confused :) Jul 05 04:39:35 :) Jul 05 04:39:43 you remembered the wrong one Jul 05 04:39:43 :) Jul 05 04:39:50 seems like it Jul 05 04:39:55 why asking about korea? Jul 05 04:39:59 wanting to move there? Jul 05 04:40:11 noooo - i like where i am really Jul 05 04:40:16 aaah Jul 05 04:40:17 which is surprising since it gets a lot of cold and snow Jul 05 04:40:29 hehehe Jul 05 04:40:34 i like cold and snow myself Jul 05 04:40:50 i am in Rochester, NY - inbeween Buffalo and Syracuse (snow belt country) Jul 05 04:41:16 [bpadalino] (n=bpadalin@cpe-74-74-236-134.rochester.res.rr.com): bpadalino Jul 05 04:41:21 that's me Jul 05 04:41:21 already gave you away :) Jul 05 04:41:55 south korea has always interested me technology wise .. Jul 05 04:42:09 since they're somewhat small and able to roll out technologies relatively quickly.. Jul 05 04:42:16 i know wimax and wibro are rolled out there .. Jul 05 04:42:28 hmm Jul 05 04:42:33 why south korea, not japan? Jul 05 04:42:41 yeah Jul 05 04:42:48 i have a wibro phone here... Jul 05 04:42:57
