**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Aug 05 02:59:56 2009 Aug 05 03:04:08 PreGame: where's the source stored, and what's the license? Aug 05 03:08:03 Hey all, anybody here know kmax12? Aug 05 03:10:18 <_PreHero_> i dont, but i wish he was still working on the breakout app! :) Aug 05 03:12:16 He is Aug 05 03:12:18 :) Aug 05 03:13:18 <_PreHero_> Awsome! Aug 05 03:23:20 Destinal wiki * r3812 http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/WebOS_Doctor_version_1.1.0 - created page for differences to new 1.1.0 doctor Aug 05 03:24:28 _PreHero: email me at kmax12@gmail if you want me to send the an ipk Aug 05 03:40:24 ah, good the CIA reporting is working for new pages. Aug 05 03:41:18 kmax12, sent you an email, thank you very much! Aug 05 03:44:24 Gotta love brickbreaker Aug 05 03:51:30 Max has done a heck of a job with brickbreaker Aug 05 03:51:36 and kense's graphics rock Aug 05 03:51:47 I suspect that they are FAR older than they claim Aug 05 03:51:53 :-) Aug 05 03:52:04 Haha Aug 05 03:56:55 There is a new one? Aug 05 03:58:31 Eguy: well a week old or something, 1.1.0.. the doctor images follow the updates by a bit Aug 05 04:00:16 Talking about brickbreaker ;) Aug 05 04:13:58 eguy there's a new brickbreaker yes Aug 05 04:16:57 Eguy: http://www.gitorious.org/webos-applications/breakout/trees/master Aug 05 04:17:03 there's a 1.1 ipk there Aug 05 04:17:08 and it's really amazing Aug 05 04:17:15 max and Kense have outdone themselves Aug 05 04:17:18 ah Aug 05 04:17:21 thanks Aug 05 04:17:52 you will be pleased. Aug 05 04:18:01 why isn't it on preware? Aug 05 04:18:16 uh Aug 05 04:18:23 :P Aug 05 04:18:31 ask kmax12 Aug 05 04:19:47 Eguy: what license is it? Aug 05 04:19:57 I have no idea Aug 05 04:20:07 that'll be why it's not on preware then :-) Aug 05 04:20:37 aha! Aug 05 04:20:54 an app that is released without any license cannot be added to preware, since by default an app is not open source. Aug 05 04:21:19 (dunno about brickbreaker in particular - they may have a license on it) Aug 05 04:21:46 I would certainly think BlackBerry copyrighted the name? Aug 05 04:22:54 Night fellas Aug 05 04:23:50 rwhitby + Eguy = webOS Internals lawyers regarding Open Source License. Aug 05 04:25:44 lol Aug 05 04:25:55 Never mind, it is named Breakout Aug 05 04:26:51 Oy, not working for me Aug 05 04:27:02 get type error on screen Aug 05 04:27:25 now syntax error Aug 05 04:38:18 rwhitby, just about done with the example app Aug 05 04:38:39 egaudet: when you build do you have the webos jars in the same dir? Aug 05 04:39:31 when I build the service yea, the build.xml is looking for them in there Aug 05 04:39:54 ok, I'm just working out how the preware autobuilder will build this package from source Aug 05 04:41:26 If you want to change the build.xml to point to the jars wherever they are I think it will still work fine Aug 05 04:44:14 it gets installed as /usr/lib/luna/java/com.egaudet.accel.AccelService.jar, right? Aug 05 04:44:42 yes Aug 05 04:51:58 egaudet: do you need an upstart file to restart the service on boot? Aug 05 04:52:58 It comes up fine after boot, is there away to restart/add services on the fly? Aug 05 04:53:08 s/away/a way/ Aug 05 04:53:09 egaudet meant: It comes up fine after boot, is there a way to restart/add services on the fly? Aug 05 04:54:41 egaudet: I need text for the Maintainer: and Description: fields in the ipkg Aug 05 04:55:15 anyone have experience with showBanner() Aug 05 04:57:32 What's the usual for those fields? Aug 05 04:57:46 Maintainer: egaudet (emoney_33@yahoo.com) Aug 05 04:58:50 Description: Service allowing applications to modify the accelerometer event frequency (default 4HZ) Aug 05 05:00:27 Need a longer writeup, or does that suffice? Aug 05 05:00:59 perfec Aug 05 05:01:01 t Aug 05 05:01:54 My example app is done! It's just a ball rolling around controlled by the accelerometer Aug 05 05:02:15 oo i want Aug 05 05:02:16 with a slider to increase the frequency so you can see more fluid movement as the frequency rises Aug 05 05:08:12 Packaged contents of AccelService into /srv/preware/services/accel/build/com.egaudet.accel_0.1_all.ipk Aug 05 05:08:53 egaudet: if I needed a short name with just lower-case letters and hyphens for your service, what would you call it? Aug 05 05:09:31 actually, I'll just use 'accelservice', like 'termplugin' Aug 05 05:09:43 sounds good to me Aug 05 05:10:01 rwhitby: so what do we call hidd plugins? :) Aug 05 05:10:04 You want me to push the example app in to throw with it? Aug 05 05:10:09 egaudet: should the ipkg name be com.egaudet.accelservice? Aug 05 05:10:32 sure Aug 05 05:10:37 like org.webosinternals.termplugin Aug 05 05:12:18 rwhitby: aren't we trying to stick with real reversed domain names? Aug 05 05:12:33 egaudet: ah, do you own egaudet.com ? Aug 05 05:12:41 no Aug 05 05:12:53 oh, you need a real reversed domain name. Aug 05 05:13:09 we can use org.webosinternals.accelservice if you want, or another domain that you own. Aug 05 05:13:10 ohhh, org.webosinternals Aug 05 05:13:23 that's fine (don't own any domains) Aug 05 05:13:57 egaudet: can you change to org.webosinternals.accelservice throughout the source please and push? Aug 05 05:15:38 ok so does the jar have to be renamed to org.webosinternals.AccelService.jar as opposed to org.webosinternals.accel.AccelService.jar Aug 05 05:16:01 egaudet: I'd say org.webosinternals.accelservice.jar Aug 05 05:16:16 for the file that goes into the luna dir Aug 05 05:16:36 they use lowercase for all the other service jar files in there don't they? Aug 05 05:17:45 most of them are lowercase (not all) and no reversed domain Aug 05 05:17:46 ah, no it's a mixture Aug 05 05:18:02 we do the reversed domain so we won't collide with Palm Aug 05 05:18:22 I'll change it to lowercase too, I like it better that way Aug 05 05:18:43 the class name can still be mixed case Aug 05 05:19:08 * rwhitby bbiab Aug 05 05:20:15 and I will change the service file to org.webosinternals.accelservice? Aug 05 05:21:20 add an o perhaps Aug 05 05:21:24 accelo Aug 05 05:21:35 this ... requires a real reverse dns thing is sorta stupid Aug 05 05:21:43 i bet most devs dont own a domain Aug 05 05:21:52 fake it in the hosts file Aug 05 05:22:12 may as well use your realname- or somthing Aug 05 05:22:13 idk Aug 05 05:22:28 there will be collisions no matter how hard we try not to Aug 05 05:23:43 PuffTheMagic_: not this again. Aug 05 05:24:13 lol Aug 05 05:24:17 * PuffTheMagic_ shuts up Aug 05 05:25:03 as long as the individual or group that runs a domain decides what projects use what name under it and everyone keeps to that, we're fine. anyone who goes against it and uses someone's domain name without permission or nonexistent ones, then yeah, we could have issues. but they're just objectively wrong. :) Aug 05 05:27:04 and I won't go into the com.palm madness over the private bus :( Aug 05 05:27:14 that is just too depressing Aug 05 05:28:14 destinal: if we stick to com.palm. then we can avoid collisions there too Aug 05 05:28:23 (for stuff that requires private dbus) Aug 05 05:28:27 rwhitby: yeah, that works, it's still depressing Aug 05 05:28:32 nod Aug 05 05:29:17 egaudet: let me know when you've pushed (we really need CIA for git) and I'll update the packaging. Aug 05 05:29:24 PuffTheMagic: did u figure out the gesture stuff? Aug 05 05:31:52 PuffTheMagic_: you just gave me a good idea, maybe Aug 05 05:32:12 so org.webosinternals.accelservice.jar and org.webosinternals.accelservice.AccelService.class now Aug 05 05:33:07 rwhitby: is + or @ sign a valid character in a package name? if so, user@domain.com email addresses are unique, why not com.domain+user.package or com.domain@user.package Aug 05 05:33:33 except . is valid in email addresses.. hm Aug 05 05:33:49 destinal: neither is conventionally used in an ipkg name (well, '+' is conventionally used in the version number to separate upstream and local versioning) Aug 05 05:33:50 just thinking of puff's concern regarding people with valid email addresses but not domains Aug 05 05:34:19 com.gmail.gmail-username Aug 05 05:35:17 yeah, that could work except for joe.black@ and joe@ with a package called black.. oh well Aug 05 05:37:02 well, domain names are cheap, anyway. :P Aug 05 05:37:47 or just put the app in gitorious.org/webos-applications, and use org.webosinternals.appname Aug 05 05:38:07 destinal: it really shouldnt matter what people use... if someone actually owns a domain that someone is using then there might be a case for a change or something Aug 05 05:38:20 but for the most part why not just first come first serve for id's Aug 05 05:38:31 PuffTheMagic_: because there's no central database Aug 05 05:38:41 PuffTheMagic_: thus the rev name thing (java = same way) Aug 05 05:39:03 i understood the first line not the second one Aug 05 05:39:32 I mean that's why Java came up with reverse dns names, it avoids collisions without a central registry Aug 05 05:39:39 ie piggybacks on an existing one Aug 05 05:40:12 even in Java there is no rule for using reverse dns Aug 05 05:40:25 nothing to enforce it Aug 05 05:40:38 if you have to classes with the samepackage you are screwed Aug 05 05:40:57 PuffTheMagic_: you don't need a traffic cop to avoid doing things that break stuff Aug 05 05:41:15 all we can do it make sure there are no duplicates on our feed, and that out feed does not conflict with palms apps Aug 05 05:41:26 other than that... we "could" ue what ever we want for ids Aug 05 05:41:27 is there a way to start the service without reboot? Aug 05 05:41:51 yeah Aug 05 05:41:54 kill LunaSysMgr Aug 05 05:42:02 PuffTheMagic_: "could" yes, "should", no. Aug 05 05:42:21 s/no/dont matter Aug 05 05:42:31 destinal: but i didnt mean to bring this up again Aug 05 05:42:38 :P Aug 05 05:42:55 i as a dev can do what ever i want... i will go with the flow for what is on the preware feed Aug 05 05:43:10 s/i will/but i will/ Aug 05 05:43:11 PuffTheMagic_ meant: i as a dev can do what ever i want... but i will go with the flow for what is on the preware feed Aug 05 05:43:41 destinal: i had an idea Aug 05 05:43:43 .... Aug 05 05:43:58 how about each feed addes the feed name to the package Aug 05 05:44:03 err to the id Aug 05 05:44:14 then within a feed people could do what ever they want Aug 05 05:44:38 PuffTheMagic_: nah, one package should be able to work across feeds Aug 05 05:44:52 with the same name and no modifications Aug 05 05:45:23 * PuffTheMagic_ goes to be Aug 05 05:45:25 bed Aug 05 05:45:27 night Aug 05 05:46:06 we can only publish sensible conventions, appeal to rational people to follow them, and enforce them in the repositories that we control. Aug 05 05:46:43 PuffTheMagic_: good night Aug 05 05:46:54 rwhitby: yeah, this is just following palm's best practices anyway Aug 05 06:02:06 bzhou * r10531 optware/trunk/make/ipython.mk - ipython: 0.9.1 -> 0.10, py2.[45] -> py2.[56] Aug 05 06:06:57 rwhitby, pushed Aug 05 06:25:09 rwhitby, pushed accelexample app as well Aug 05 06:32:20 * egaudet going to bed Aug 05 06:39:06 Rick__: check it out. from http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/WebOS_Doctor_version_1.1.0 Aug 05 06:39:17 Only in 1.1.0: /resources/webOS/nova-cust-image-castle/usr/bin/d8 Aug 05 06:39:17 Only in 1.1.0: /resources/webOS/nova-cust-image-castle/usr/bin/debug Aug 05 06:51:43 sorry for being a complete newb, but can any one tell me a general list of instructions on how to test an application i made on my pre? Aug 05 06:53:08 Owner: I recommend checking out developer.palm.com and #webos for getting started building apps with the sdk Aug 05 07:44:38 egaudet: thx Aug 05 10:10:11 jomaster * r10532 optware/trunk/platforms/toolchain-fsg3v4.mk - toolchain-fsg3v4: corrected path (TOOLCHAIN_SITE) Aug 05 10:24:34 Anyone ready to alpha test http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Application:AccelService ? Aug 05 10:28:16 rwhitby: What is it? Aug 05 10:30:58 rwhitby: Actually, never mind. I'm going to crash now. Good luck. Aug 05 11:03:31 good morning everyone Aug 05 11:11:34 morning jcrawford Aug 05 11:11:51 jcrawford: want to test egaudet's new accelerometer service? http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Application:AccelService Aug 05 11:13:38 Good morning guys Aug 05 11:16:50 I'm working on getting Android running right now ) Aug 05 11:17:28 gonna try to use the default Palm kernel (knowing Android will lack some functionality, namely power management) and install it with trenchcoat Aug 05 11:17:38 wow Aug 05 11:17:43 good luck Aug 05 11:17:55 any progress or just beginning/ Aug 05 11:18:59 beginning Aug 05 11:19:26 eddieck: excellent - are you keeping a wiki page of your progress so others can replicate? Aug 05 11:19:37 yep, I'm going to Aug 05 11:19:46 and all of my work will be commited to github or gcode Aug 05 11:20:18 Android 1.5 (stable) does not include CDMA support; I believe that can be backported from donut (I'd say 2.0, but an Android dev says donut is not 2.0) Aug 05 11:20:44 rwhitby, busy with work right now trying to put out a fire, will have to check it out later today, what does his service do? Aug 05 11:21:00 jcrawford: speeds up the accelerometer sampling rate Aug 05 11:21:32 is there a reason you would want to speed it up? Aug 05 11:21:38 does it make it more sensitive etc. Aug 05 11:21:40 and there is an example app rolling a ball around which shows the difference (except I haven't seen that cause the emulator do anything when I tilt my laptop ...) Aug 05 11:22:05 lol rwhitby Aug 05 11:22:24 ... doesn't do ... Aug 05 11:23:04 it should allow you to move a ball in a curve, rather than a set of jagged lines Aug 05 11:23:37 we're also using it for the example service for preware.org packaging (like termplugin is the example plugin) Aug 05 11:25:53 oh thats cool Aug 05 11:26:05 yeah i hear the sampling rate provided by the default api/services is too slow for games Aug 05 11:26:19 http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Application:AccelService - tell us how well it works Aug 05 11:49:11 checking it out now Aug 05 11:49:17 fire is out here :D Aug 05 11:52:41 what does this mean? Aug 05 11:52:42 (offline root mode: not running org.webosinternals.accelservice.postinst) Aug 05 11:55:47 hah that is cool Aug 05 11:55:54 so i take it turning it all the way down is how it comes stock Aug 05 11:56:02 turning it up gives you more precision? Aug 05 11:57:05 this is some nice work from egaudet :D Aug 05 11:58:14 so how are you supposed to work with the accelerometer in the emulator, you cant because it does not have that hardware Aug 05 11:58:21 that mean you can only test that stuff with a device? Aug 05 11:58:45 yup Aug 05 11:58:51 unless you right a service that simulates it Aug 05 11:59:00 thats how they handle it for android Aug 05 12:02:08 is there any interest in other accelerometer applications, maybe to help demo this service? I released carpentrer's level awhile back but stopped persuing becuase of the uselessness of it (round pre edges and poor accelerometer refresh rate). someone here say the word and maybe I could either update it or release the source Aug 05 12:03:18 the word Aug 05 12:03:46 hello kmax12 Aug 05 12:04:04 the word :D Aug 05 12:08:04 ha sorry Aug 05 12:08:26 do you want the source? Aug 05 12:09:45 try the new service and see if it's better for you Aug 05 12:11:13 Max? Aug 05 12:11:23 You're up 2 nights straight? Aug 05 12:12:06 kmax12: what are you doing still up? Aug 05 12:17:40 jcrawford: so the packaging of the ipkgs was correct? Aug 05 12:19:37 you dont wanna know Aug 05 12:19:43 I finish oracle night Aug 05 12:19:51 finshed** Aug 05 12:20:16 rwhitby, it installed just fine following the instructions Aug 05 12:20:30 jcrawford: excellent, thanks. Aug 05 12:20:33 lol kmax12 how old are yuou? Aug 05 12:20:44 to stay up 2 nights straight you must be young :) Aug 05 12:21:44 16 Aug 05 12:22:28 I have a lot on mind right now, too much thinnking I need to do to sleep -- or at least that's what it feels like Aug 05 12:25:27 kmax12 did you decide MIT license or GPL2 or "I don't care" for brickbreak Aug 05 12:25:53 umm Aug 05 12:26:01 MIT means others could sell it right? Aug 05 12:26:05 I want to keep it free Aug 05 12:26:06 always Aug 05 12:26:37 gpl2 means others could sell it to i think Aug 05 12:26:40 mit means "This is free, I have to get credit, but you could incorporate it into a commercial product if you wanted to. Aug 05 12:26:41 they just have to release the source Aug 05 12:26:50 you can keep it free. Aug 05 12:27:25 let me do some reading online and then get back with a descion Aug 05 12:27:29 ok Aug 05 12:27:57 suggest gpl2 by the way. Same license that Linus Torvalls uses for the Linux Kernel. Aug 05 12:28:57 kmax12: I'd recommend gpl2 if you want to make sure it always stays free in every form Aug 05 12:29:15 im almost positive gpl2 is saleable Aug 05 12:30:25 http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.html Aug 05 12:30:31 blau-mikeDG: yes, in the sense that you can make up a cd of gpl2 sofware and sell it if you want to, but you can't keep others from giving it away..... Aug 05 12:31:23 can you edit, reliscense it and then sell Aug 05 12:31:24 it Aug 05 12:32:26 I think i want GNU Aug 05 12:37:03 cant relicense it afai,k Aug 05 12:37:22 gpl is saleable - but anyone you sell it to can then resell it to 1000 other people for 100th the cost. Aug 05 12:37:46 so you need to offer something for the sale other than just the plain software itself. services is usually the key there. Aug 05 12:38:29 kmax12: you can edit, keep it as GPLv2, and resell it. Aug 05 12:38:45 (as can anyone you resell it to, and so on, ad infinitum) Aug 05 12:39:30 got it, i think GPLv2 is the best choice Aug 05 12:39:33 and you are always guaranteed to be able to take any improvement that anyone else made to your software, and incorporate it back into the version you distribute. Aug 05 12:41:18 well, I already have done that Aug 05 12:45:52 * rwhitby bbt Aug 05 13:10:06 wifi toggle coming up soon Aug 05 13:11:19 whats that do Aug 05 13:11:26 just turn it on and off? Aug 05 13:12:39 are services talked about on the webos-internals wiki?? I can seem to find a page about them Aug 05 13:13:12 just turn it on and off Aug 05 13:34:42 mobile1's new windows based palm pre emulator does landscape. Aug 05 13:34:48 might be useful for testing Aug 05 13:34:52 anyone looked at it? Aug 05 13:35:09 morning Aug 05 13:40:37 not yet... do they charge for it? where can we get it ?

Aug 05 16:29:06 any suggestions for some more shortcuts to add to quickcut Aug 05 16:31:16 is that a keyboard shortcut solution? I miss typing .xx when I needed "I will be coming home shortly" Aug 05 16:31:32 which worked on my Treo (I think it was called shortkey or something.) Aug 05 16:34:49 freetim: i think theres an app for that Aug 05 16:35:05 to modify autocorrect, im guessing you could make .xx turn into a sentence tho Aug 05 16:35:16 quickcut is just general shortcuts for launcher or quicklaunch bar Aug 05 16:35:39 like wifi/bt toggles, shortcuts straight to a new note or new calendar event, shortcut to text message a certain person, or dial them Aug 05 16:36:12 ok. new note in Evernote for quick jotting Aug 05 16:36:21 that's a third-party app, will it work ? Aug 05 16:37:41 no, but i can look into a solution for evernote Aug 05 16:38:09 currently only works with the basic note app Aug 05 17:00:33 How big is Palm's WebOS development team?

Aug 05 17:23:49 do you really even need to root your device these days? Aug 05 17:23:58 my boss just got his and wants to install some stuff from the forums Aug 05 17:24:02 C++ is great provided you don't use it stupidly, instantiate 10,000 templates called ConstInteger<5215>, and wonder why your project takes hours to build Aug 05 17:24:14 not exactly rooting, its just easy access to the command line Aug 05 17:24:22 right Aug 05 17:24:29 i know :) Aug 05 17:24:31 jcrawford: You at least have to get root to create an unprivileged user. Aug 05 17:24:34 most users dont need command line access tho at all Aug 05 17:24:40 ok Aug 05 17:24:50 he will want ity, he's a sys adm :) Aug 05 17:52:04 destinal1, so with the gesture bar, is there anyway to tell if someone taps the left side of it or the right side of it? or does it just only provide output of tap, gesture left, gesture right, long gesture left, long gesture right Aug 05 17:52:08 ? Aug 05 17:57:58 psykoz Aug 05 17:58:48 hello Rick Aug 05 17:59:54 when we were working on breakout Aug 05 18:00:04 we learned that if we started in the main screen Aug 05 18:00:19 and drug down into the gesture area, the continuous drag resulted in being able Aug 05 18:00:25 to play from the gesture area. Aug 05 18:00:32 but we could not START there. Aug 05 18:00:51 So, the raw position data is AVAILABLE for the gesture area... Aug 05 18:01:07 but I don't know that the high-level calls are available Aug 05 18:01:35 i wonder if the gesture area is associated with an input device in /dev/input Aug 05 18:02:06 if so we could wrap a service around it Aug 05 18:10:03 eh? Aug 05 18:11:08 hmm Aug 05 18:21:35 destinal1: the pre does not confrm to the ACM spec Aug 05 18:21:44 If you see only Cls=ff(vend.) then you're out Aug 05 18:21:44 of luck, you have a device with vendor specific-interface Aug 05 18:22:48 rick_, neat, I guess I was more or less hoping you could create area based gesture input, ie: someone does tap-hold on the left side of the gesture bar it does x, someone tap-holds on the right side of the gesture bar, it does y Aug 05 18:22:56 rick_, etc Aug 05 18:29:39 I would like to install an application from opt-ipkg what is the command again? Aug 05 18:29:44 i am looking to install nmap Aug 05 18:29:51 lsof, etc. but forgot the command :D Aug 05 18:45:25 ipkg-opt install lsof Aug 05 18:46:07 thanks Aug 05 18:50:05 Anybody here play PreCheckers?

Aug 05 21:04:45 very useful Aug 05 21:05:11 every time you make a change, you push your changes to the VCS and it keeps track of them, so you can get a previous version if you need to Aug 05 21:05:21 also useful when multiple people are working on the same project. Aug 05 21:06:41 I never have had the need. Aug 05 21:06:51 Always have worked alone :/ Aug 05 21:07:01 if you work on teams... you HAVE to have a vcs Aug 05 21:07:12 Yep Aug 05 21:07:19 but even working alone, it saves the day when you do something STUPID and need to retreat to an earlier version Aug 05 21:07:34 the professional rule is, push every hour you work. Aug 05 21:07:37 Well, ctrl-z always does the trick Aug 05 21:07:45 unless you closed the editor Aug 05 21:08:00 or you have conflicting changes that you want to PRESERVE this part and RECALL that part Aug 05 21:08:01 I compile and IPK and save it locally before I close out Aug 05 21:08:12 and once you do, there's no going back. Aug 05 21:08:13 I do every version Aug 05 21:08:19 nodnod Aug 05 21:08:28 you see mypoint tho. Aug 05 21:08:34 Yep Aug 05 21:08:39 VCS is handy Aug 05 21:09:30 http://www.precentral.net/new-homebrew-app-gallery-palm-pre Aug 05 21:09:36 I spy my checkers game :D Aug 05 21:11:15 I think I'm going to swap computers Aug 05 21:11:24 That way I'm not logged in under JordanGensler Aug 05 21:13:05 Back Aug 05 21:15:35 Anybody here played PreCheckers and want to help me out? Aug 05 21:37:38 PuffTheMagic: pong Aug 05 21:38:07 im trying to gain write access by using this command Mount -o remount,rw / and -sh: Mount: not found is what i get Aug 05 21:38:35 lower case Aug 05 21:38:41 unix is case sensitive Aug 05 21:39:21 someone slap me i forgot to backup a file before i made a change it was a non invasive change so i can edit it back to what is was before i just need to know what the one line was before i edited Aug 05 21:39:49 geist i just ran that and i still can't change the permission of a file Aug 05 21:40:08 ClipSet2: dunno, are you not root? Aug 05 21:41:03 im noob what does that mean i created an account and it said unprivilized account Aug 05 21:41:11 that's why Aug 05 21:41:19 need to be priviledged before you can do that Aug 05 21:41:36 i dontknow how you created an account, must be some addon stuff to webos that i dont know of Aug 05 21:41:44 http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Portal:Accessing_Linux Aug 05 21:41:47 i did that Aug 05 21:43:06 what's new Aug 05 21:43:41 geist: i cant seem to get cdc-acm working on the pre with 2.6.31, apparently the pre uses vendor specific extensions Aug 05 21:43:50 idk what you can share or not Aug 05 21:44:25 2.6.31 does not have a g_composite, just g_cdc and g_serial Aug 05 21:44:44 do i need to forward port anything to get the phone as modem working on a new kernel? Aug 05 21:45:06 you're running 2.6.31 on the device? Aug 05 21:45:13 no... on my laptop Aug 05 21:45:27 but i have DUN enabled on the acm port Aug 05 21:45:42 but the cdc-acm module does not detect the pre Aug 05 21:45:44 dunno, shouldn't matter Aug 05 21:45:48 i never get a /dev/ttyACM0 Aug 05 21:46:09 i generally only worry about novacom stuff, not the other bits Aug 05 21:46:28 oh Aug 05 21:46:55 web-dr my pre now :( Aug 05 21:47:04 but it used to work with an older kernel? Aug 05 21:47:53 how did you decide it is the kernel version that is the issue? Aug 05 21:48:18 im not saying anything really about the kernel version, i just supplied that in case it did matter Aug 05 21:48:26 ok so i connected my phone as it said Aug 05 21:48:31 ah, so it probably actually has nothing at all to do with it Aug 05 21:48:32 but it is not seeing it as being connected Aug 05 21:48:32 dun/teathering is not something that is supported yet by palm/sprint Aug 05 21:48:40 geist: but i figured out how to enable it Aug 05 21:48:49 yeah, and now that you've said that, i pretty much am no longer able to help Aug 05 21:48:53 sorry Aug 05 21:48:57 but the pre does not present it self as a standard cdc-acm module Aug 05 21:49:10 do i connect it as a usb drive or just charge Aug 05 21:49:51 most areas are okay, but dun/tethering is a touchy subject so i have to stay away Aug 05 21:49:58 geist: all i did was use an app that palm put on the phone Aug 05 21:50:01 PuffTheMagic: i need your help lol Aug 05 21:50:12 so its not like i didnt do anything i was not allowed to do Aug 05 21:50:27 sorry, can't help you Aug 05 21:50:50 jcrawford: yeah? Aug 05 21:51:03 PuffTheMagic: I have webos dr loaded says to connect my phone Aug 05 21:51:07 i do but it does not see it at all Aug 05 21:51:30 try running this as root Aug 05 21:51:50 root on the pre or my machine?> Aug 05 21:52:21 your machine Aug 05 21:52:33 ok now run what :D Aug 05 21:52:35 the java app probably dont have perms to access the usb Aug 05 21:52:41 same as you did before Aug 05 21:52:45 export the path Aug 05 21:52:52 no i am on my home machine Aug 05 21:52:53 then run javaws on the jnlp file Aug 05 21:52:54 the java app doesn't connect to usb Aug 05 21:52:55 java is fine Aug 05 21:52:59 novacomd does Aug 05 21:53:06 i did that Aug 05 21:53:12 i got the installer says to connect my pre Aug 05 21:53:15 but it is connected Aug 05 21:53:18 geist: you dont need novacomd for the webos dr Aug 05 21:53:29 interesting Aug 05 21:53:31 jcrawford: yes... run that as root Aug 05 21:53:33 PuffTheMagic: eh? Aug 05 21:53:38 oh lol Aug 05 21:53:38 ok Aug 05 21:53:47 this is the webos dr from palm? Aug 05 21:53:57 it most definitely does need novacomd, it just comes prepackaged Aug 05 21:54:01 yeah... it uses recoverymode not dev mode Aug 05 21:54:14 same thing Aug 05 21:54:14 jcrawford: dinner time Aug 05 21:54:15 bbl Aug 05 21:54:16 it's still novacomd Aug 05 21:54:19 recovery uses novacomd Aug 05 21:54:41 it's just bootie and not castle Aug 05 21:54:56 do i connect as usb drive or just charge> Aug 05 21:54:57 quicker heartbeat Aug 05 21:55:04 same result even as root Aug 05 21:55:08 bpadalino|work: yeah, need to fix that actually Aug 05 21:55:13 geist, too fast ? Aug 05 21:55:24 it speaks a slightly older version of usbll that dopesn't negotiate the heartbeat Aug 05 21:55:54 the heartbeat doesn't matter as much, but it does use a smaller mtu Aug 05 21:56:02 ah .. you don't use the same source for both bootie and the novacomd in linux ? Aug 05 21:56:04 which would probably speed up the ramdisk upload by a second or so Aug 05 21:56:08 yeah, sadly i dont Aug 05 21:56:11 :( Aug 05 21:56:19 i always intended to unify them, but never got around to it Aug 05 21:57:00 anyhoo, gotta go for a bit. meeting time Aug 05 21:57:03 later Aug 05 21:57:57 i wonder if remote debugging capabilities would be a nice package to build up using novacomd .. eg, connect to the pre on different terminals (or execute commands) and then locally display the information .. process or memory usage .. etc Aug 05 21:58:10 that javascript debugger would have been a good idea for remote connection Aug 05 21:58:20 anyone that can help with the web dr? Aug 05 21:58:36 it says to connect my phone. I do but it never allows the Next button to become active Aug 05 21:58:49 jcrawford, unplug the phone from USB .. Aug 05 21:58:51 turn it off .. Aug 05 21:59:03 hold the volume UP key .. and plug it back in .. Aug 05 21:59:07 you should get a big USB logo on the phone Aug 05 21:59:08 ok Aug 05 21:59:15 and the dr should see it Aug 05 21:59:18 trying now Aug 05 21:59:47 cool thanks Aug 05 22:00:00 that seemed to work just fine :D Aug 05 22:00:27 you're welcome Aug 05 22:04:43 Anyone ever run into device not being seen through usb errors? Aug 05 22:09:10 palm-launch: no device found Aug 05 22:09:47 weird, now it works Aug 05 22:11:15 usman@castle:/root$ mount -n -o remount,rw / Aug 05 22:11:16 mount: permission denied. (are you root?) Aug 05 22:11:18 how can i fix that Aug 05 22:13:03 sudo -i Aug 05 22:13:50 im not in the sudoers file hm Aug 05 22:14:57 did you do next steps? Aug 05 22:15:06 yeah Aug 05 22:16:10 do you see yourself in /opt/etc/sudoers Aug 05 22:16:16 do visudo Aug 05 22:17:14 says opt/etc/sudoers busy,try again later Aug 05 22:17:17 i just got pwned Aug 05 22:17:45 In the messaging app when viewing a conversation the bubble that each message is contained in what is it called? I'd like to change the font size of the text contained in them and not sure what file to edit Aug 05 22:18:09 egaudet my name isn't there Aug 05 22:18:48 Once in the file, add the following line myusername ALL=(ALL) ALL Aug 05 22:18:51 how do i add that line Aug 05 22:18:52 you are ssh'd in? Aug 05 22:19:12 put novacom -t open tty:// in the cmd and at the prompt right now Aug 05 22:20:04 ok so you should be able to visudo and save it Aug 05 22:20:20 ok noob question: what is the command to add it Aug 05 22:20:40 visudo username ALL=(ALL) ALL? Aug 05 22:21:00 visudo edits the file /opt/etc/sudoers Aug 05 22:21:23 manually add $username ALL=(ALL) ALL to the end Aug 05 22:21:53 where $username i'm guessing is usman Aug 05 22:22:12 jcrawford: figure it out? Aug 05 22:22:47 yeah egaudet when i run visudo in the cmd line it doesn't let me edit anything Aug 05 22:22:54 do i need to do this in winscp Aug 05 22:23:11 scroll to the bottom and hit 'i' Aug 05 22:23:20 to enter edit mode Aug 05 22:23:35 vim by default starts in command mode, for easy scrolling etc. via home keys Aug 05 22:24:31 ok let me try its pwning me again saying its busy Aug 05 22:26:30 So, who has tried http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Application:AccelService so far ? Aug 05 22:29:37 i just had something fun happen Aug 05 22:42:01 bpadalino|work: geist: well considering novacomd is a binary provided the by the sdk and it not required by webos dr. you should not be using that term cause it confuses the issue, in if webos dr. implements what ever protocol novacomd uses its still not novacomd Aug 05 22:44:33 reboot the pre Aug 05 23:19:29 PuffTheMagic: that's because you're wrong Aug 05 23:19:36 webos dr most definitely has novacomd in it Aug 05 23:19:39 it may 'hide' it Aug 05 23:19:41 Anybody here want to beta test a game? Aug 05 23:19:41 but it's still novacomd Aug 05 23:19:55 it absolutely does not implement the usb protocol Aug 05 23:21:24 geist: i extracted the jar... all it had was class files Aug 05 23:21:27 which means no novacomd Aug 05 23:23:20 it gets installed as some sort of driver thing Aug 05 23:23:33 dont know the details, but it *absolutely* requires novacomd to run Aug 05 23:26:53 sorry, yea got it all figured out, worked like a charm thanks Aug 05 23:31:35 What are some of the popular homebrew apps out there, besides google voice Aug 05 23:34:10 Fireworks, Blocked, Checkers, PreVino Aug 05 23:34:38 Just take a look here: http://www.precentral.net/homebrew-apps Aug 05 23:36:25 Which google voice app do you guys prefer? Aug 05 23:47:06 booting Android 2.6.27 kernel - wish me luck! Aug 05 23:47:29 anyone know if it's possible to use bootie for verbose booting? Aug 05 23:47:38 like, getting rid of the Palm screen and replacing it with text output Aug 05 23:48:28 Android root FS is a bitch because Google seems to be refusing to add TLS hardware support, so I have to compile that Aug 05 23:50:29 eddieck: I would think you'd want more of a merge of kernels, any android-required customizations minus the G1 hardware stuff plus the pre hardware stuff Aug 05 23:51:06 I used the 2.6.27 omaplinux patch Aug 05 23:51:09 eddieck: you're aware of the android on openmoko effort, right? Aug 05 23:51:13 yes Aug 05 23:51:27 I believe Palm's patches (or at least a large portion of them) are just omaplinux patches Aug 05 23:51:33 yep Aug 05 23:52:23 I am considering just slipping in Android patches to Palm's default kernel (2.6.24) because of the proprietary kernel modules Aug 05 23:52:34 any idea why Palm uses such an old kernel Aug 05 23:52:57 i guess ~6 months isn't THAT old Aug 05 23:53:08 but.. I like the latest ;) Aug 05 23:53:35 eddieck: historical reasons.. I think it's because they got started 2 years ago with TI's internal OMAP tree when the omap linux support in the mainline was not mature Aug 05 23:53:59 probably. and I was mistaken: I read the build date on 2.6.24 as 2009, it's actually 2008, so it's more like over a year old :P Aug 05 23:55:29 eddieck: palm's aware of the issues of course -- geist mentioned they were in the process of sorting that out and getting back on the mainline. Aug 05 23:56:07 i can't figure out how to get rid of this damn palm boot screen Aug 05 23:56:11 I want verbose boot output Aug 05 23:57:06 I remember with the iPhone being able to get boot output and mess with iBoot via serial, but that was possible because of Apple's proprietary dock which had serial pins.. Aug 05 23:57:52 eddieck: sounds like that might be bootie doing that Aug 05 23:58:09 that's what I'm thinking Aug 05 23:58:16 I'm hoping there's an option to override that within bootie Aug 05 23:59:24 eddieck: the OMAP has the ability to load its boot code over USB btw Aug 05 23:59:30 I haven't tried it yet personally Aug 05 23:59:45 OMAP is so awesome Aug 06 00:01:27 eddieck: also the pre probably has a serial port, at least pads on the board, but I'm not going to crack mine open to find out :) Aug 06 00:01:38 haha me neither Aug 06 00:01:56 that said, *hint* it's possible to get a new or refurbished Pre for $200 from Sprint (w/o a new contract) :) Aug 06 00:02:20 eddieck: how? Aug 06 00:02:25 their advance replacement thing will let you order a new phone (you can say your current one is broken somehow), and if you don't return the old one, you get charged $200 Aug 06 00:02:30 so in other words, you'd get another pre for $200 Aug 06 00:02:36 ah, I see Aug 06 00:02:40 there might also be a $30 fee for it unless you have TEP like I do Aug 06 00:05:25 I wonder if the Pre has a lower level than bootie like DFU on the iPhone Aug 06 00:06:24 eddieck: well I think they flash it via OMAP usb boot. (which is lower level) Aug 06 00:06:41 perfect; just don't want to permanently brick my device Aug 06 00:06:50 omapzoom has an omapbl - wonder if that's what palm based bootie on Aug 06 00:06:58 it has USB jtag as well Aug 06 00:07:32 which I guess is probably tied to the same thing Aug 06 00:10:07 I'm just going to use 2.6.24 and slip in android patches Aug 06 00:10:24 and that's better because it'll work with the pesky proprietary kernel modules Aug 06 00:10:41 eddieck: at least you're starting with something known to work on the platform which helps if you can't see the boot screen yet :P Aug 06 00:10:51 :) Aug 06 00:11:08 I actually tried starting android's app_process, but failed because of the hardware TLS issue Aug 06 00:11:45 hardware TLS has been an issue in Android since the early days - after a year, I wonder why G hasn't fixed it Aug 06 00:11:52 I was thinking of getting a beagleboard for $150, but if it's possible to get a pre as a development board and lots of peripheral hardware built in for $200.. hmm Aug 06 00:11:53 Sean McNeil has a patch Aug 06 00:12:05 I'd go beagle Aug 06 00:12:13 unless it's confimed the Pre has serial/jtag Aug 06 00:12:17 proper Aug 06 00:12:33 eddieck: I can't imagine it not having Aug 06 00:12:42 ya Aug 06 00:12:56 good question: how easy is the Pre to take apart? I destroyed several iPhones because of how hard they were to open' Aug 06 00:14:37 fyi to anyone kernel hacking: you don't need to restore w/ webOS Doctor if your kernel doesn't work, just go into bootie and setenv bootfile uImage-old Aug 06 00:17:49 ah, bootie has a "help" command, cool Aug 06 00:24:25 Hello everyone. Aug 06 00:25:13 thatdude: hey Aug 06 00:26:22 destinal1: Doing alright, how about yourself? Aug 06 00:27:32 sup Aug 06 00:28:10 destinal1: This post just pisses me off - http://alturl.com/uiqm Aug 06 00:28:44 Don't ask me why, just wanted to vent. Aug 06 00:29:03 thatdude: post #1 on that thread? Aug 06 00:29:33 destinal1: Yeah Aug 06 00:29:44 I haven't been following any of that stuff, so I don't get why Aug 06 00:30:26 destinal1: I made the mistake of posting my app thinking it was related to webos-internal at first Aug 06 00:30:41 PuffTheMagic: there is a piece of software that gets installed that opens the USB interface and opens a tcp port (novacomd) ... all comms with the pre using the webos dr uses the novacom protocol - but still require the novacomd driver/daemon to be installed - sorry for the confusion earlier Aug 06 00:31:29 destinal1: I should have msg PuffTheMagic with the link, he would of curse me out. Aug 06 00:32:04 what port? Aug 06 00:32:12 PuffTheMagic: How is the Terminal going? Terminal + Eclipse + thatdude = failure. Aug 06 00:34:20 bbl Aug 06 00:40:40 what port does novacomd use Aug 06 00:44:03 6968 for the decafbad protocol i am pretty sure Aug 06 00:44:36 6970 i think for debug info Aug 06 00:47:41 If you root the pre, install optware and some homebrew apps, and then turn off dev mode... updates won't break it will it? Aug 06 00:48:07 Or is WebOS picky about what goes on under the skin Aug 06 00:48:16 tyler_wylie: nope. modifications are the only things that can break updates if you don't use quilt to manage them properly. Aug 06 00:48:31 optware and homebrew specifically stays out of the way of webOS. Aug 06 00:48:57 leaving dev mode on, or leaving the filesystem writable, will not affect updates either. Aug 06 00:49:17 rwhitby: nice, are there any downsides to leaving dev mode on? Aug 06 00:49:34 tyler_wylie: it leaves some network ports open I believe. Aug 06 00:49:47 * rwhitby doesn't have a Pre, and dev mode is permanently on in the emulator. Aug 06 00:50:33 So I'm now optimistic that we will have a standard ipkg feed format, and GUI app installers that support it. Aug 06 00:51:03 Both PreCentral and PimpMyPre have now publicly stated they will publish their feeds in the standard format. Aug 06 00:51:22 oh cool ;) Aug 06 00:51:40 I'm hoping PreGame will make that pledge too for fileCoaster. Aug 06 01:00:17 Anyone going to the preDev camp in New York? Aug 06 01:06:08 * rwhitby posts http://forums.precentral.net/web-os-development/196977-towards-open-interoperable-homebrew-ecosystem.html Aug 06 01:07:06 thatdude: what link Aug 06 01:07:48 http://predevcamp.org/ Aug 06 01:10:17 Hey Aug 06 01:10:33 PuffTheMagic: See one close to you? Aug 06 01:10:33 Anyone here want to Beta test a Checkers game? Aug 06 01:10:46 will it kill my dog Aug 06 01:10:57 kesne: Sure, if it wont kill my cat. Aug 06 01:11:03 thatdude: I win' Aug 06 01:11:07 thadood: why would i curse you out for that? Aug 06 01:11:22 PuffTheMagic: Hahaha wrong link Aug 06 01:11:39 PuffTheMagic: The one I said about you cursing me out is the following....

Aug 06 01:14:21 no i dont think so Aug 06 01:19:18 PuffTheMagic: Are you planning to go to the preDevCamp? Aug 06 01:20:18 lol no Aug 06 01:20:48 i dont really care about pre dev... i like the pre cause its a linux box that fits in my plam :D Aug 06 01:20:54 and i put linux on everything i own Aug 06 01:20:58 and this already has it Aug 06 01:20:59 plams Aug 06 01:21:02 so i love it even more :D Aug 06 01:21:08 palm Aug 06 01:21:08 :D Aug 06 01:21:20 PuffTheMagic: :D Aug 06 01:21:27 and while i am at it i will hack around a little bit Aug 06 01:21:30 and write some stuff Aug 06 01:21:40 but i dont program for profession Aug 06 01:23:56 geez irssi and their commands /window close instead of just /close or /leave Aug 06 01:24:18 thatdude: irssi has /leave, also /part Aug 06 01:24:24 and /wc as a shortcut for /window close Aug 06 01:25:01 irssi also fits in gnu screen Aug 06 01:25:01 ;) Aug 06 01:25:05 gxti: thanks for the heads up. When I read their 411 page a while back that's what they showed.
