Sep 23 03:16:07 Cost? Sep 23 03:19:52 ughh, im tire Sep 23 03:19:52 s/tire/tired/ Sep 23 03:19:52 Decimation_ meant: ughh, im tired Sep 23 03:20:39 Decimate: ??$$?? Sep 23 03:21:17 phiqtion2: are you talking about REVERSE tethering? Sep 23 03:21:20 'cause you can do that. Sep 23 03:21:33 connect the pre to the laptop and use the laptop's internet connection.... Sep 23 03:27:29 anyone else get a md5sum mismatch for the virtual keyboard? Sep 23 03:27:51 just running emoneys script did not fix vk. Will try to replace palmInitFramework191_15.js and global.css with term and will report Sep 23 03:29:08 v3ritas: if you get that, you have previously patched framework. Sep 23 03:29:22 you will need to replace the framework file with a fresh copy Sep 23 03:29:29 which you can extract out of the doctor Sep 23 03:29:30 okay, thanks rick Sep 23 03:33:49 does anyone know how i can check if mytether on my pre is ready for the update or do i have to remove it? Sep 23 03:35:51 you'll have to check at their forum Sep 23 03:36:03 anyone here familair with a manual removal of virtual keyboard in order to the get the VK to install using preware or WebOS Quick Install, I tried all I could find on the forums, and keep getting this mesage using quick install : "org.webosinternals.virtual-keyboard.postinst (err1)" Sep 23 03:38:07 mike_pre: latest version of quick install should give you a better error message ... Sep 23 03:39:11 mike > I am in the middle of testing a quick way to replace the framework file to see if that works.... Sep 23 03:41:39 i just ran with 2.52 Sep 23 03:41:43 and got a MD5 mismatch Sep 23 03:43:08 that is the error when the framework is hosed...will let you know if I can replace the file directly on the pre.... Sep 23 03:43:57 gotcha, i think i had it installed at one point using quilt, and then tried preware, and then a few more tries...so i can easily believe that it is hosed.... Sep 23 03:45:11 sorry for the dumb question: i replaced the two files, I'm now being asked "kbchars_fulltable.json, which already exists! Assume -R [n]" should i type yes? Sep 23 03:46:43 mike_pre, if you had it with quilt and it never succeeded with preware you can quilt pop it Sep 23 03:46:52 and then try preware again Sep 23 03:47:07 quilt pop didn't work for me Sep 23 03:47:34 i tried quilt pop as well...but by the time I did it, and did a quilt series or quilt applied, it was no longer listed there... Sep 23 03:47:42 http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=1910190 Sep 23 03:48:10 when i replace palmInitFramework191_15.js will I lose my other tweaks? Sep 23 03:48:23 i went into the patch file and looked at all the files it modifies and went back to the orig from the webos.jar file in hopes that it would be back to its orig state.....but that didnt work eieher, I am trying to get my pre ready for 1.2 Sep 23 03:48:50 i replaced that file and still have my other tweaks....well the ones I have looked at Sep 23 03:48:52 since Sep 23 03:49:06 1.2 will automatically fix this as long as the vk is the only thing that is hosed Sep 23 03:49:44 i am just being inquisitive and tryin to learn how all this kewl stuff works. Sep 23 03:50:05 anyone know if the pre can access an AD HOC network via my laptop? Sep 23 03:50:41 am tryin to fix vk md5 mismatch error directly on the pre (no pc involved) Sep 23 03:51:32 i just figured that if I broke down the .patch file and replaced all the files it modified during the patch, then it would be able to be applied with no probelm, Sep 23 03:52:32 mike_pre, yea there are only 2 files it modifies and a bunch it creates Sep 23 03:52:44 check the link i sent you, it lists the 2 files that need to be from the stock 1.1.0 image Sep 23 03:53:08 yep, those 2 that i replaced are now both from 7/17 same date as all the other ones in the directory.... Sep 23 03:53:24 amrcc, without a PC that will be really difficult to fix unless you have the files backed up before they were patched Sep 23 03:53:41 and then i wiped out the kbselector directory as well since i didnt see it in the orig final zip Sep 23 03:54:29 I copied the files to the usb root and am trying to copy them to where they are supposta go with the terminal app. Sep 23 03:54:29 the post ^^^ lists all the files that are created by the patch, rm -f them all in case they exist and then you should be good to install (assuming preware sees keybaord as not installed yet) Sep 23 03:54:34 i just thgought of something Sep 23 03:54:57 can someone check the date in the zip file for the file /usr/palm/frameworks/mojo/builtins/palmInitFramework191_15.js Sep 23 03:55:03 I already ran the emoney script that way and cleaned up all the other files Sep 23 03:55:08 md5sum it mike_pre Sep 23 03:55:23 Saturday, ‎July ‎18, ‎2009, ‏‎12:24:25 AM Sep 23 03:55:29 <-- emoney Sep 23 03:55:54 amrcc, are you still having issues after removing all the files and replacing the 2 stock ones? Sep 23 03:56:02 rwhitby: I wonder how to make the dfbadapter stuff not to mess up with webos but use its existing libs, any ideas? Sep 23 03:56:17 am still working on replacing the files. Sep 23 03:56:45 cdc04cac97e7c80362ca60c82a4d22c7 palmInitFramework191_15.js Sep 23 03:56:48 do we need to replace both of those files or just the framework one? Sep 23 03:56:54 that was from the console on the pre... Sep 23 03:57:14 ameng: if you use -rpath with /opt/lib, then it will look there first for libs, and then in the normal system places Sep 23 03:57:47 ameng: so no need to replace any Palm libs, just add new ones in /opt/lib and compile executables that should use the new libs with -rpath /opt/li Sep 23 03:57:49 b Sep 23 03:57:56 and that MDM matches what the Quick Install is telling me....so the file I have on there is iether wrong or the VK thinks that it should be different Sep 23 03:58:22 mike_pre that is not the stock 1.1.0 file's md5sum Sep 23 03:59:06 thats what I am thinking now....ya know what, i think i opened the 1.2 stock file....let me find the 1.1 file...and grab the files from there Sep 23 03:59:11 how can i give my pre internet access via bluetooth from my laptop?

Sep 23 04:16:48 ameng: dunno Sep 23 04:17:16 need to take a look, heh Sep 23 04:23:07 grrrr...looks like it won't let me replace the palmInitFramework191_15.js from terminal...

Sep 23 04:23:55 mount -o rw,remount / Sep 23 04:24:58 did that...it the global.css file worked...but i get no error doin the cp ... but the file still has date that i installed vk on it Sep 23 04:28:56 k...nuf of this typin on the bitty kbd...gonna try qi to cp the file Sep 23 04:30:06 Okay i got the app catalog into the emulator Sep 23 04:30:20 but i cant get it to list any apps.. any ideas folk Sep 23 04:30:53 i get... app catalog is unavaliable at this time Sep 23 04:31:19 I tried that two weeks ago mate Sep 23 04:31:31 it knows its the emulator Sep 23 04:32:21 did you get the app catalog unavailable try again later message to Sep 23 04:32:22 maybe i am pullnig the files out wrong, here is what I am doing, opening the webosdoctorp100ewwsprint.jar file, and extracting the WebOS.tar file, and then opening the webo.tar file, and extracting nova-cust-image-castle.rootfs.tar.gz file, and pulling the files from this tar, is that correct? Sep 23 04:33:29 yep Sep 23 04:33:31 at first it worked and even almost started to download, but I think that was because I had put my data files from my phone on there so it was confused, then it gave me some device id error and now it says unavaliable Sep 23 04:33:32 yep Sep 23 04:35:10 i didnt get any errors like that.. odd Sep 23 04:35:19 i cant even get a list of apps Sep 23 04:35:35 the first time I got the list Sep 23 04:35:43 and was able to view the app page Sep 23 04:36:39 are you trying to work on getting around the annoying memory is full thingy Sep 23 04:36:53 ya sorta Sep 23 04:37:02 thats why I tried too Sep 23 04:37:17 ok qi won't overwrite the file either Sep 23 04:37:23 i wanted to see if i can download apps into emulator and then some how extract them out and manually put them in the pre Sep 23 04:37:50 so did you take the app out of your pre and repackage and install onto the emulator Sep 23 04:38:18 b4 I use qi to send a file like this do I have to mount -o rw,remount / from terminal on the pre Sep 23 04:38:33 what I do is download apps from the catalog, move them to my hard drive then, download more then put them back Sep 23 04:38:40 I dont need to repackage Sep 23 04:38:52 I am actually doing it right now lol Sep 23 04:38:57 qi says it sent the file Sep 23 04:39:01 no i ment how did you get the catalog app onto the emulator Sep 23 04:39:50 I dont put them on there ussually Sep 23 04:39:58 I dont see the purpose?

Sep 23 04:41:56 fire up winscp and use port 5522 unless you changed it Sep 23 04:41:57 ssh localhost:5822 or something like that, right? Sep 23 04:42:14 selct scp as the pro Sep 23 04:42:22 5522, right Sep 23 04:42:32 it is acting like the palmInitFramework191_15.js file is open so it won't replace it Sep 23 04:44:29 has anyone used pocket mirror? Sep 23 04:49:04 Alright Rod, what did you do to break Preware? Sep 23 04:50:44 krunk...can't get it to replace those two files. Sep 23 04:51:26 DeCiBeL: I put an if (username == DeCiBeL) in it ...

Sep 23 04:56:14 apache runs on the Pre. :D Sep 23 04:56:20 yeah, apache is in optware Sep 23 04:56:42 Don't think it could handle 10,000 hits/hour like webos-internals.org though Sep 23 04:57:01 lighttpd as well, perhaps? Sep 23 04:57:27 perhaps Sep 23 04:58:18 yep, it is Sep 23 04:59:00 lol, optware on dd-wrt Sep 23 04:59:27 lol? Sep 23 04:59:46 optware is on over 20 different embedded routers, NAS devices and phones ...

Sep 23 05:05:29 yeah but i accepted the key Sep 23 05:05:31 its still not workin Sep 23 05:05:32 gkatsev: most optware packages run on stuff with 8MB of flash and 32MB of ram Sep 23 05:05:44 the fingerprint i mean Sep 23 05:05:56 cool Sep 23 05:06:07 Do you all know when the Palmcast Live is usually avail for download?

Sep 23 05:06:38 gkatsev: smallest optware target is 4MB flash, 8MB ram Sep 23 05:06:42 and that includes the OS Sep 23 05:06:49 I had to bounce in the middle.. My sisters battery fubar'd and I had to go replace it for her. Sep 23 05:06:51 wow Sep 23 05:07:06 hmm - maybe 16MB ram - don't remember Sep 23 05:09:27 WOOT OFF!!

Sep 23 05:12:27 my phone is in airplane mode and I don't have that battery saver app active Sep 23 05:12:58 and the cell stalker one would make a notification that my loacation couldn't be found even when I didn't have that active Sep 23 05:20:42 has anyone had issues with virtual keyboard? Sep 23 05:20:44 i need to figure out what it does during install, so i can manually remove it :/ Sep 23 05:21:02 i tried to upgrade with quickinstall and it failed, and in preware it doesnt show as being installed now so i have no way of removing it Sep 23 05:21:39 did you remove the old version in preware before installing the new version? Sep 23 05:21:48 nope Sep 23 05:22:00 well that's what the instructions say to do, isn't it? Sep 23 05:22:18 preware didnt work it forced me to upgrade Sep 23 05:22:27 after i upgraded i was already fucked Sep 23 05:23:14 join the crown dude...we have it nailed down to replacing these two files as posted in the forums by emoney: Sep 23 05:23:18 so is there any list of what virtual keyboard does so i can reverse it Sep 23 05:23:37 link?

Sep 23 06:22:30 Hey all... just grabbed linux access on my newly refurbed pre... to check what was left of org.webosinternals.services.... I haven't found anything (had my tether installed and uninstalled via preware), any advice on where I might further my search? Sep 23 06:23:28 Really the only file I have found was TetherService.jar under /usr/lib/luna/java Sep 23 06:25:30 whats good. Sep 23 06:26:41 notta... just scumming through these files looking around... any ideas? Sep 23 06:29:51 MLJones8: um, you don't want org.webosinternals.services Sep 23 06:30:06 it is a huge security hole. that's why it's been erased from the planet Sep 23 06:30:20 <- trying to remove all the files... I read your post and really appreciate the info Sep 23 06:30:40 look in /usr/lib/luna/java Sep 23 06:31:02 oh, TetherService.jar means you have the fixed version of mytether Sep 23 06:31:57 Well thats comforting... but I removed it via Preware and ... well I guess it left behind some files? Sep 23 06:32:22 what did you actually remove? Sep 23 06:32:41 * oil is redoing listing YET AGAIN Sep 23 06:32:48 TetherService.jar is from some net.aonic thing Sep 23 06:33:01 iptables based? Sep 23 06:33:32 rwhitby I removed what I had installed... after I got a refurb I loaded the 'list of everything' typed in mytether and click install.. Sep 23 06:33:45 shortly after I read your post and then went to installed packages and clicked remove Sep 23 06:34:07 Then tonight I gained linux access on my refurb to see if anything was left behind. Sep 23 06:34:12 MLJones8: I expect mytether doesn't remove it's services properly then Sep 23 06:34:20 rh: maybe time to consider union? Sep 23 06:34:37 rwhitby: :) Sep 23 06:35:02 rwhitby i don't see the service listed... so I guess my only option is to just search? Sep 23 06:35:51 I guess if its a 'safe' version then I'm not that concerned about a few kb left behind... Sep 23 06:35:52 MLJones8: I don't really have clear idea of what you have done and what you are doing. your explanations are all over the place. Sep 23 06:37:02 to remotely debug anything requires extreme clarity and precision of explanation, so that the remote person can gain a clear and precise picture of the previous and current state of your device. Sep 23 06:40:18 rwhitby: I'm on my second pre (this one is a refurb just received two days ago). I came home from sprint used webosQI to install Preware's service and APP... I then installed My Tether, the safe version 1.5, (but read your post about the security risk) then removed My Tether via Preware (not knowing it was a safe version)... Last night our conversation included someone stating that 'preware... Sep 23 06:40:22 ...might not have removed the service comptlely' and I would need linux access to verify it had. Today I gained linux access and went searching for files relating to mytether and/or org.webosinternals.services Sep 23 06:41:09 how did you install mytether version 1.5 ? Sep 23 06:41:56 The only file I found was TetherService.jar which I have already manually deleted... then you just mentioned it was the safe version anyhow. Sep 23 06:42:07 rwhitby Preware. Sep 23 06:42:27 MLJones8: using Jason's installer package? Sep 23 06:43:32 I'm unsure exactly... i loaded opened the Preware app went to list everyting and typed MyTether... which installed 'MyTether Installer'. Sep 23 06:43:49 MLJones8: the prerm script in ca.canucksoftware.mytetherinstaller removes the TetherService.jar file Sep 23 06:44:08 so if you had uninstalled that package, it would have removed that file Sep 23 06:44:33 how exactly did you remove My Tether via Preware ? Sep 23 06:44:47 To uninstall I went to 'Installed Packages' ... My Tether was listed and I clicked... remove? Sep 23 06:44:48 is there a log for ipkg/preware/etc.? Sep 23 06:44:54 specifically, which package did you remove? My Tether, or MyTether Installer? Sep 23 06:45:00 tmzt: no Sep 23 06:46:01 I only removed 1 package... and Neither are currently listed in the 'installed packages list' Sep 23 06:46:44 I removed it via Preware Yesterday... perhaps the uninstall script has been updated since then?? Sep 23 06:46:51 MLJones8: if you only removed one package, then you didn't remove the other two packages. Sep 23 06:47:42 you would have had three packages installed: net.aonic.my-tether, net.aonic.tether and ca.canucksoftware.mytetherinstaller Sep 23 06:47:55 I only removed 1 package... However I don't see anything related to MyTether via 'installed packages list' Sep 23 06:48:22 With that said I have manually deleted the .jar we spoke about earlier. Sep 23 06:48:57 TetherService.jar that is. Sep 23 06:52:44 rwhitby: would those be listed under 'installed packages' (via Preware) if your thinking they should be... I'm not seeing them (perhaps the uninstall script just missed one file? If thats even possible?) Sep 23 06:53:32 MLJones8: I have no idea what mytether does in it's closed source packages Sep 23 06:54:07 ..watching survivor tv, heh. Sep 23 06:54:12 I see. Sep 23 06:54:16 hi rw Sep 23 06:54:20 hi mlj Sep 23 06:56:39 wow I hate At&ts wifi.... Sep 23 06:58:20 rwhitby: I appreciate your knoweldge... truly after finding out about some security risks and that files are being left behind I'm about done with some of the homebrews... I only use enough to count on my fingers anyhow. I really am done with all the tweaks well besides the add launcher pages and rotate e-mail. Sep 23 06:59:12 I'm not saying that all homebrews are unsafe... But I think its clear which developers may have slightly more expertise than others... ya know? Sep 23 06:59:17 MLJones8: well, let's just say that some non-webos-internals developers are not so meticulous about cleaning up after themselves when uninstalling their packages ... Sep 23 06:59:53 it's one thing to be able to get a Pre to do something, it's another thing to be able to get it to do it securely, safely, and cleanly. Sep 23 07:00:19 rwhitby: I understand that now... I'm not sure about you, but I keep a clean House, Car and life... and would prefer to keep it that way in all aspects. Sep 23 07:03:19 For the record /usr/lib/luna/java is clean... Does preware specify where to install packages? Or is that left to the developers to choose? Sep 23 07:04:01 that is all determined by the ipkg file contents and the postinst script which Preware allows the user to view before consenting to running it Sep 23 07:07:56 rwhitby: good to know (some of this terminology is over my head... I'm a mba accountancy student, not a programmer) but I can interpret those commands from the viewable script... I will see if any of those files are on my Pre. Sep 23 07:23:44 rwhitby: I had to click Install (in Preware) for the My Tether Installer to view the script... it took a few seconds before the msg came up for me to view it... had more files been installed or are all these files I'm finding installed previous to viewing the script? Sep 23 07:26:23 MLJones8: all files under /var are installed before the script is shown Sep 23 07:28:15 Good, thats the only place I've found them so far Sep 23 07:35:01 The only file not in a /var directory was in /ect/event.d So I suppose I'm all cleaned up rwhitby thanks again for the info/help. Sep 23 07:37:56 Looks like Dieter got an anonymous tip that 1.2 has been delayed... Sep 23 07:38:42 delayed MORE? Sep 23 07:39:11 by an anonymous tipster check his blog... or precentral.net's main page whatever you want to call it. Sep 23 07:41:55 I suppose time will tell. Sep 23 07:44:28 huh Sep 23 07:45:07 ? Sep 23 07:45:13 i wonder why the delay Sep 23 07:46:12 is there a tutorial on ircd-hybrid_7.2.2-1_arm.ipk installation using ipkg install? Sep 23 07:46:12 Your guess is as good as mine... not enough workers/testers I suppose is the most logical reason. Deadlines are often hard to reach ya know. Sep 23 07:48:16 I don't really see how they can launch a bunch of new apps on a new version of WebOS... one could only imagine there would be conflicts, right? Sep 23 07:48:56 rwhitby: let me know what you think of the changes to the group-filtering in 091 (that i just pushed) Sep 23 07:49:00 what apps? conflicts with what? Sep 23 07:50:06 Well the paid apps .. that were planned for the week. Sep 23 07:52:52 History typically repeats it self... when there were only a handful of apps available and 1.1 got pushed out there were conflicts with SplashID... I can only imagine that with a newer version of WebOS and a bunch of apps that it would happen again, Do you not agree? Sep 23 07:53:07 they've been pretty good at keeping backwards compatibility through the version Sep 23 07:53:28 though the change from 104 to 110 they removed html parsing in templates by default-- that caused me a couple of bugs Sep 23 07:53:40 SplashID? Sep 23 07:53:56 idk if they were doing something crazy Sep 23 07:54:18 tmzt: its a password manager via the Palm App Cat. Sep 23 07:54:19 you would think if they were going to break stuff they would release an updated emu ahead of time Sep 23 07:54:21 java might be part of the paid app thing Sep 23 07:54:24 Hello folks. Did I miss anything exciting today? Sep 23 07:54:44 oil, I would agree Sep 23 07:54:52 maybe a js to java compiler? Sep 23 07:55:00 which they may have done before that splashID failure Sep 23 07:55:16 all the homebrewers were still working on the leaked version of the emu when 1.1 dropped Sep 23 07:56:25 brb Sep 23 07:57:30 o Sep 23 07:57:38 I'm out take care all Sep 23 08:01:42 ohh Sep 23 08:01:53 * oil watches warehouse 13 Sep 23 08:12:55 So I'm guessing that's a "no" :p Sep 23 11:31:13 Good morning Sep 23 13:41:36 I guess I am the only lame-o up this early.. Sep 23 13:47:23 DeCiBeL: early? It's 9:46, most of us get into work at 8:00. Sep 23 13:48:36 LOL Sep 23 13:48:42 I'm off on Wednesdays. Sep 23 13:49:07 I have a luncheon at 11:30 though. So I had to get up somewhat early. Plus had to get the girls off to school. Sep 23 13:49:51 I woke up and almost threw my Pre across the room at the wall when I read the "rumor".. But oh well. Sep 23 13:49:58 Yea, I wouldn't even had to wake up. My boss had to do something this morning so I didn't come into work till 9:00. Sep 23 13:50:31 What rumor would that be? Sep 23 13:50:55 1.2 delayed another week Sep 23 13:51:03 to be released as 1.2.1 Sep 23 13:52:43 DeCiBeL: I kind of doubt that unless they update the app catelog seperately. Sep 23 13:53:14 http://www.precentral.net/rumor-webos-121-delayed-will-fix-itunes-sync Sep 23 13:53:55 that was posted just after 1AM Central US.. "chuq" was last seen on precentral.net at 10:10pm Central US. Sep 23 13:53:57 Yea, I read it... hmm not sure. Sep 23 13:54:23 I really don't care, just means I can keep my tweaks on there another week. Sep 23 13:54:40 But Palm was just starting to regain my trust in a phone developer. Sep 23 13:54:51 After years of broken promises with WinMo. Sep 23 13:55:37 I'm switching back over to winmo, the palm thing is only temperary fun. :) Sep 23 13:55:47 And to see this might be SPRINT delaying it so they can "test" it, well, that would just be peachy. Sprint is all about testing stuff, but they never fix anything. In fact, their testing never proves anything. I have seen more things "tested" by sprint that came out FUBAR'd. Sep 23 13:55:51 But we have a good year till WinMo7 Sep 23 13:56:07 I'll go back at WinMo7, maybe. Sep 23 13:56:50 i developed dozens of 6.5 leaked roms Sep 23 13:57:03 for my HTC TP and original HTC Mogul Sep 23 13:57:23 The onyl downside to WM, is it is extremely bulky Sep 23 13:58:56 Someone should call Palm support and just str8 up ask them. Sep 23 13:59:53 But at least I got my Woot Off today Sep 23 14:00:37 6.5 is just a reskin. Windows Mobile 7 has been under development since like late 2006. It's most likely a full rewrite. Sep 23 14:01:14 Windows CE is still a great base, but they may have rewritten it since all new devices require a GPU. Sep 23 14:01:31 true Sep 23 14:08:46 you know Sep 23 14:08:53 i was excited about classic but after using it not so much Sep 23 14:08:57 pretty buggy app Sep 23 14:22:08 sampson: i tried using articulation on classic. it said there was no speaker or mic. lol. Sep 23 14:22:43 pssh only works if you use the ancient version that doesn't support proper random number generation Sep 23 14:22:50 and boo to webos 1.2 being pushed back Sep 23 14:23:04 patience is a virtue Sep 23 14:24:18 You could get 1.2 early, and then complain about all the things that are broken until 1.2.1 Sep 23 14:25:01 it's almost a shame the leak happened since now everyone wants 1.2 and expects it to happen yesterday Sep 23 14:27:19 Yeah, I see precentral say "we've been waiting a long time for 1.2" when 1.1 came out at I think the end of july? Sep 23 14:27:29 8 weeks or so flies by fast when you're working on something that big Sep 23 14:28:49 If they had a release every month or bi-weekly, people would start complaining Sep 23 14:29:53 I just wonder who the "anonymous tipster" is.. Sep 23 14:30:12 I would assume it would have to have been a developer that violated the NDA> Sep 23 15:39:47 egaudet, you around? Sep 23 15:41:52 yes Sep 23 15:47:33 im about to add in checks for pre-existing themes. Per our last convo, all I have to do is: exit "There is currently a theme installed" correct? Sep 23 15:49:15 that would return "there is currently a theme installed" to the app that called the routine to check Sep 23 15:49:45 right, so im guessing that preware would then show this user-friendly message isntead of a generic "there was an error" Sep 23 15:49:46 the info after exit is the 'status' of the exit routine Sep 23 15:49:52 AnOutsider, you'd want to do Sep 23 15:49:54 something like that would cause MORe issues Sep 23 15:49:57 echo "There is currently a theme installed" Sep 23 15:49:59 exit 1 Sep 23 15:50:03 egaudet_work: i think im gonna turn of pym.... no one is ever gonna use it and its just pissing off the higher ups Sep 23 15:50:07 yes, echo it out Sep 23 15:50:08 a/of/off/ Sep 23 15:50:09 then exit 1 Sep 23 15:50:19 egaud is cool Sep 23 15:50:19 ok, will do Sep 23 15:50:35 PYM? Sep 23 15:50:43 preyourmind.org Sep 23 15:50:47 ahhh Sep 23 15:50:53 :( Sep 23 15:50:58 :~( Sep 23 15:51:07 who is it pissing off by existing? Sep 23 15:51:44 AnOutsider, the echo will go to stdout which currently is displayed from preware in appmenu->ipkg log Sep 23 15:51:47 damn woot, 500 dollars knives following the 600 dollars ones last night? god Sep 23 15:52:14 I think there are plans at putting that stdout messages into the popup, but in v0.9.0 preware you get "error 4" or whatever Sep 23 15:52:15 Yeah, woot off is pissing me off Sep 23 15:52:19 and then have to go to ipkg log to see stdout message Sep 23 15:52:31 I was thinking, Man.. at leaswt I have Woot Off.. since I don't have 1.2 to look forward to. Sep 23 15:52:33 ahh, so nevermind then Sep 23 15:52:51 if people just see error 4, there'll be a million posts about themes not working and broken blah blah Sep 23 15:53:20 AnOutsider: im not about to start airing out dirty laundry here Sep 23 15:53:32 egaudet_work: how much shit do you have in the issue tracker? Sep 23 15:53:40 wash it first ahah Sep 23 15:53:46 wow, a lot Sep 23 15:54:17 PuffTheMagic, not much that isn't in the wiki. Most of the user-added stuff I want to mark as invalid lol Sep 23 15:54:24 lol Sep 23 15:55:39 is/does precentral ever gonna allow non-mojo apps in their feed? Sep 23 15:56:55 no idea Sep 23 15:57:44 I think we need further discussions on a submission site before you just get rid of it Sep 23 15:59:41 egaudet_work: there have been plenty of discussions about "a submission site" i dont like the workflow of the one rick/rod wanted, so i would talk to them and get them to make one Sep 23 15:59:50 new idea... if a theme is already installed, can I call ipkg and uninstall it before installing the new? Sep 23 16:00:06 and submission site like an app gallery? Sep 23 16:03:03 AnOutsider: no rick/rod wanted a "web form" where youc ould provide a link to source code and a license etc. and then they would download the code and pacakge it all up and put it in a feed Sep 23 16:03:21 ahh Sep 23 16:03:33 AnOutsider: the complete opposite spectrum from preyourmind/precentral Sep 23 16:03:36 well Sep 23 16:03:41 closer to precentral Sep 23 16:03:51 cause i htink precentral devs package some stuff Sep 23 16:04:42 actually, I never wanted a submission site at all ... I do all my stuff in git, and precentral and git cover the spectrum from my point of view, but that's just me - I know others feel differently. Sep 23 16:05:11 AnOutsider, I'm indifferent to uninstalling existing theme Sep 23 16:05:54 But if 2 themes touch completely different files, they could be compatible Sep 23 16:06:11 Also you need to find out what theme is installed, so you'd need to do some parsing or statefile on install Sep 23 16:06:17 i would only allow 1 theme to be installed at a time Sep 23 16:06:23 if i had any influence in this Sep 23 16:07:19 PuffTheMagic, what if i wanted to mix/match a dialer theme with an icon theme Sep 23 16:07:21 wosqi uses the existence of /var/lib/webos-quick-install/theme.xml to determine whether a theme is installed. precentral ipkg themes follow the same convention. Sep 23 16:07:39 egaudet_work: there are people asking for finer grained themes Sep 23 16:07:48 egaudet_work: and put keyboard themes in that mix too Sep 23 16:08:36 The theme issues can and should be solved by the postinst/prerm ipkg scripts and no .xml statefile is needed Sep 23 16:09:15 egaudet, if you wanted to do that then you should be downlaoding the zip version and manually updating the files Sep 23 16:09:39 AnOutsider, in the future would it not be a good idea to support finer-grained themes Sep 23 16:09:43 when you package stuff like this for the everyday person, you have to dummy-proof it, and the emails and posts I've seen are more than enough proof that people are too dumb to read (even big red type) Sep 23 16:10:01 AnOutsider, the postinst/prerm idea from the other day is dummy proof Sep 23 16:10:08 egaudet_work: I would say put an .xml statefile in there, to stop wosqi being able to install more than one theme, and then support multiple non-overlapping themes in ipkgs ;-) Sep 23 16:10:13 if the themes "conflict" then the 2nd doesn't install, if they touch differnet files they are fine Sep 23 16:10:16 rwhitby, since I'm now doing the same (copying a theme.xml file to that location) WOQI can now detect my themes as well Sep 23 16:10:31 but on install from preware, id like to either die oif there's a current theme or uninstall it automatically Sep 23 16:10:48 AnOutsider: awesome. pity the standard has a toolname in the directory location, but at least it's now a standard. Sep 23 16:11:10 egaudet: again, from what I've seen, that won't even work. People will go "How come I've got icons from two themes??" Sep 23 16:11:23 the fine grained thing could work Sep 23 16:11:31 have themes for icons, wallpapers... etc. Sep 23 16:11:34 agreed, but if we update the spec, I can always change that Sep 23 16:11:34 then have a meta theme Sep 23 16:11:46 that selects pieces from the smaller theme Sep 23 16:11:47 so, my question is, can I call like ipkg-uninstall or something from within the postinst? Sep 23 16:12:03 AnOutsider: sure Sep 23 16:12:09 AnOutsider: but how you gonna know what is installed? Sep 23 16:12:11 AnOutsider, 2 themes that touch different icons wouldn't be too confusing, that's the theme designers issue I think Sep 23 16:12:12 AnOutsider: sure can. but preware won't know what has happened behind it's back Sep 23 16:12:14 Puff: That would have to be done with an app or something in the future. It's a mess to even think about and once again, the "lay folk" would eff it up Sep 23 16:12:39 If i install 2 themes, and see different icons, i can uninstall one theme still and be fine Sep 23 16:12:42 egaud: trust me on this one. It would be an issue lol. Plus most themes touch at least 1 of the same icon Sep 23 16:12:42 AnOutsider: how would the lay folk have anything to do with this Sep 23 16:12:51 there is no "issues" aside from the impossible to avoid forum posts about anything and everything Sep 23 16:12:52 AnOutsider: themes vs. theme-components Sep 23 16:12:53 aye too much convo at once Sep 23 16:13:11 theme components == (icons, wallpapers, dialer screens, battery icons, etc.) Sep 23 16:13:16 AnOutsider, that's the point, most themes wouljust failt o install the 2nd one Sep 23 16:13:25 then themes == (a set of theme-components) Sep 23 16:13:29 But it opens the door to EASIER and portable integration of finer grained themes Sep 23 16:13:33 rwhitby: I plan on grabbing the package id fromt he theme.xml file if it exists (my themes have an id attribute to the data node), and then call uninstall on that. Would that work? Sep 23 16:13:41 end users would still be only installing themes Sep 23 16:13:46 I'm usually against unnecessarily closing the door on things when it can be avoided Sep 23 16:14:10 AnOutsider: should do. but the prerm won't get run unless you run it manually Sep 23 16:14:22 well to also put it into perspective: I also install themes using preware, and uninstalling, soft rebooting, finding new theme, installing, soft rebooting.. pain in the ass Sep 23 16:14:22 AnOutsider: which probably means it won't work Sep 23 16:14:31 if i can isntall a new theme and remove the old in one click, I'm for it Sep 23 16:15:01 rod: so I should call the prerm script as well as the package removal? Sep 23 16:15:09 IMO Preware should give that option Sep 23 16:15:27 agreed, but I don't handle preware code ;) Sep 23 16:15:35 :( please think about this before implementing it Sep 23 16:15:40 nor do I think preware should have to get so specific about soemthing when it tries to be a generic installer Sep 23 16:16:09 It can still be generic and report "conflicts" with options to remove currently installed conflicting package and add new one Sep 23 16:16:47 true Sep 23 16:16:49 egaudet_work: yeah, that's a good generic thing Sep 23 16:17:17 well, if I could throw back something to the installer saying "Do you want to first remove XYZ" then that would be the perfect solution Sep 23 16:19:28 This also goes back to a request I had for Preware to give you the option of restarting Luna, allow you to decline and restart later (same as PCs do for updates that require reboots) Sep 23 16:19:43 So I think it's a general installer issue and not a specific package issue, and should be treated as such Sep 23 16:32:16 great place to idle, i see Sep 23 16:32:31 indeed Sep 23 16:32:39 * rwhitby bbt Sep 23 16:38:39 egaudet_work: yeahi dont like the force restart of luna either Sep 23 16:43:51 could always swich to the other oepn cards aned close anything before restarting Sep 23 16:43:58 a plus of multitasking OS Sep 23 16:44:08 then go back to th app when you're ready to reboot Sep 23 16:44:43 ? Sep 23 16:46:00 My "workaround" is just to swipe back out of the "OK" for restarting luna until I'm done with the last remove/install I want to do before restart Sep 23 16:53:40 hello Sep 23 16:53:41 AnOutsider egaudet_work workarounds suck Sep 23 16:53:52 it would be a trivial change in the preware coder Sep 23 16:53:53 code Sep 23 16:54:18 That's why it's called a workaround, because it isn't the "right" or good way Sep 23 16:54:46 I'm sure it will get done in Preware sooner or later though Sep 23 16:55:00 whats the problem Sep 23 16:55:00 ? Sep 23 16:55:14 problem? more like minor annoyance Sep 23 16:56:11 ms peterman seems confused ;) Sep 23 16:56:38 lol which is Sep 23 16:56:39 lol Sep 23 16:56:57 forced luna restart in preware Sep 23 16:57:50 lol that is minor Sep 23 16:58:06 just download lunamanager Sep 23 16:58:31 sometimes preware gets buggy on me Sep 23 16:58:42 seems as it does a javaservice reboot Sep 23 16:59:07 because it tells me ipkg service isnt running and my phone goes offline but i still can access the feeds and install etc Sep 23 16:59:37 running the latest version of both? Sep 23 16:59:45 I thought that issue was addressed Sep 23 17:00:45 yea thought i did a update to it Sep 23 17:00:47 ill check it out Sep 23 17:03:06 * atlanta is upset palm's api limits to only add one contact number to an sms when creating from your own app Sep 23 17:20:24 Hey AnOutsider ping Sep 23 17:26:37 sup Sep 23 17:26:45 http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=1914270 was I offbase at all in that post? Sep 23 17:26:55 I wasn't 100% sure if luna was a service or not, but the term felt right Sep 23 17:28:36 I wouldn't call it a service just like I wouldn't call an X server that displays your gnome desktop a service Sep 23 17:29:02 pwnt Sep 23 17:29:21 feel free to correct me. In the same sense though, I think it still stands Sep 23 17:29:22 but it's not a big deal Sep 23 17:29:50 even on windows a "reindexing" or "redrawing" has to occur. Expecting to instantly see changes to core files without something like that is a bit out there I think Sep 23 17:30:19 How do you currently handle uninstalling? Sep 23 17:30:39 well, there may be a better way to cause luna to refresh everything without restarting -- we just haven't found one yet Sep 23 17:32:17 indeed Sep 23 17:32:54 either way, some kind of redrawing or reindexing has to take place. I don't think he understands that this is a fledgling underground effort and we dont exactly have API docs from palm on this Sep 23 17:33:10 it's been all of maybe 1-2 weeks since theming has become more mainstream Sep 23 17:33:35 "work with the Palm developers to fix the reboot issue" Sep 23 17:33:56 I think his expectations are very unrealistic Sep 23 17:34:29 Palm isn't going to set aside dev time to make our 3rd party unsupported modifications work better Sep 23 17:34:38 agreed. You're doing something the phone isn't officially designed for. I'd rather palm work on 1.2 and app catalog submissions than work to include a way for our hacks to play nicely Sep 23 17:34:47 haha we said the same :) Sep 23 17:36:13 How are theme uninstalls handled? Do you use backup file from install, any md5sum checks etc...? Sep 23 17:36:38 I use the list file to loop through changed files and restore their .bak forms to the original Sep 23 17:36:56 so on install, move each file to file.ext.bak (if the .bak version DOESNT exist), then on uninstall, reverse Sep 23 17:37:49 May I suggest md5sum check before restoring .bak Sep 23 17:40:35 I guess a lot of people care about theming. I personally don't, I never use themes or reskin apps so it's no big deal here. (but from the volume of posts / level of interest on it, some people obviously do) Sep 23 17:40:36 we've already debated that lol Sep 23 17:41:00 It'd be a bit crazy to index the md5 of each individual file on the device Sep 23 17:41:12 AnOutsider: there already is one Sep 23 17:41:15 (each file that's themed anyways). Not to mention, I don't understand what benefits would arise of it? Sep 23 17:41:35 AnOutsider: the device ships with an md5 list Sep 23 17:42:42 alright Sep 23 17:42:50 but where is the benefit over the current setup? Sep 23 17:43:05 granted a pre-existing list makes things easier Sep 23 17:43:33 AnOutsider: no idea. personally I think the best place to go to restore the default theme would be palm's ipkg on their CDN system Sep 23 17:43:56 I disagree Sep 23 17:44:06 AnOutsider, the benefit is not restoring 1.1 files after a 1.2 OTA update etc... Sep 23 17:44:07 why go through all of that when you can just back up the changed file and restore when done? Sep 23 17:44:10 egaudet_work: they use a if function in a sh file to check for the backed up flies Sep 23 17:44:19 vs downloading a whole package and extracting the bits you need each time? Sep 23 17:45:11 egaudet: in that case, what would happen? You go to uninstall the theme, and because you upgraded to 1.2 since you first installed the theme, it won't restore the .bak files? Sep 23 17:45:25 AnOutsider, right Sep 23 17:45:31 AnOutsider: another good reason to use an ipkg Sep 23 17:45:49 the md5sum would not be the Installed theme's md5sum and so that would say "don't revert to backup" Sep 23 17:45:53 you'd always restore with the current version Sep 23 17:46:04 no matter what version was backed up Sep 23 17:46:10 I don't know, I don't see that as more efficient than what we have now Sep 23 17:46:12 (no need for backup) Sep 23 17:46:15 But since the .bak stays, a general "emergency 1.1" recovery can go through a list of "changed files" and blindly copy the 1.1 .bak's back Sep 23 17:46:27 people swap themes all the time, would you really expect them to download the whole file from palm each time? Sep 23 17:46:41 destinal_work, well that's a problem I think the VKB is running into Sep 23 17:46:47 AnOutsider: it's not more efficient, it's cleaner Sep 23 17:46:54 I see where you guys are going with that, but I don't really see a benefit there Sep 23 17:47:06 people are "updating" from quick install, which is over-installing the ipkg, which changes the scripts and causes problems... i THINK Sep 23 17:47:50 Changing themes doesn't need to be "efficient", you dont need to preview it on your pre when there are screenshots available Sep 23 17:48:27 wait, who is previewing them on the Pre? Sep 23 17:48:56 I'm saying it doesn't have to be extremely efficient since people aren't previewing them Sep 23 17:49:04 you guys are suggesting I download the entire webos doctor file from palm right? Sep 23 17:49:13 is that not a huge file? Then to extract etc? Sep 23 17:49:22 and then to do that EVERY time you uninstall a theme? Sep 23 17:49:24 I'm not suggesting that Sep 23 17:49:40 that's more of an "emergency recovery" mechanism Sep 23 17:49:41 AnOutsider: no,. not the doctor image Sep 23 17:49:52 AnOutsider: Palm has tons and tons of ipks Sep 23 17:49:55 relatively small Sep 23 17:50:05 on their CDN server Sep 23 17:50:13 link Sep 23 17:51:00 egaudet_work: I don't know how to get at them just yet, so this would require further investigation, but the changed packages are pulled down for an "OTA" update Sep 23 17:51:09 ooooh Sep 23 17:51:48 That will definitely be helpful once that is figured out (for recovery purposes) Sep 23 17:52:35 AnOutsider, are you against md5sum'ing changed files? Sep 23 17:53:23 egaudet_work: I figured out some of this info a while back by intercepting the update transactions to palm's web service Sep 23 17:53:26 http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Update_Service_Trace Sep 23 17:54:12 I am against it not in general, but in this context yes. You state the benefit would be restoring the proper file (if they updated to 1.2) Sep 23 17:54:21 for instance https://cdn.downloads.palm.com/packages/java-com.palm.calendar/124/base/content?size=82994 Sep 23 17:54:21 but you need to have a logged in session, which requires tokens from the phone Sep 23 17:54:59 well in that case, it would break uninstalls. a better solution would be to remove themes before hand. Especially if 1.2 changes an image file, then if they already had a theme installed, they're fucked to begin with Sep 23 17:55:49 AnOutsider, no it would not break uninstalls in the least Sep 23 17:56:21 And requiring users to do something will always cause support headaches Sep 23 17:56:40 I'm sorry dude. not trying to be stubborn, but I'm still not sold Sep 23 17:56:47 There will be tons of people that OTA without removing themes/patches, and that's just a fact no matter how much "WARNING" you put Sep 23 17:57:06 right, so in that case, they'd have a messed up looking phone if palm changes images right? Sep 23 17:57:12 AnOutsider, discussion is always good Sep 23 17:57:22 right Sep 23 17:57:38 but if you had md5sums, the uninstall would only remove files that Palm didnt update in 1.2 Sep 23 17:57:47 and the uninstall would still go clean Sep 23 17:58:57 OK I think I see what you mean. You mean if they update to 1.2 and palm then overwrites the already-overriden files Sep 23 18:00:49 right Sep 23 18:01:02 those files would then be skipped in the uninstall process Sep 23 18:01:28 gotcha Sep 23 18:01:36 in that sense, yes it does make sense Sep 23 18:03:48 For patching, I am going to be creating a backups file which lists all the files that contain a .orig Sep 23 18:05:56 This file could then be used later by another ipkg, say a "1.1.0 emergency recovery" to cover for issues that might arise with other installers/ipkg's touching files outside of the patch mechanism Sep 23 18:06:52 I also use the md5sums in /usr/lib/ipkg/info/*.md5sums to verify any existing Palm files are stock before the first patch to touch them is installed Sep 23 18:07:16 You could do something similar to verify that the theme image you are backing up is actually what it should be Sep 23 18:23:16 webos repair utility seems useful. very useful Sep 23 18:38:14 sorry, back, had to go work out :) Sep 23 18:38:38 I think the md5 thing is a good, idea, ill have to add it to my list of things to look at Sep 23 18:38:59 I'm also worried that if someone reset their phone using the default ipk, the md5 checksums might not match Sep 23 18:39:16 in which case downloading from the CDN would be a good idea, but it doesn't seem that we know how to do that yet soo Sep 23 18:40:28 http://forums.precentral.net/webos-themes/203658-prethemer-website-app-pre-themes-boot-logos-wallpapers-4.html#post1914352 Sep 23 18:40:41 lol, just what I always wanted: my hard work to help grow precentral Sep 23 18:43:34 http://forums.precentral.net/webos-themes/204541-bricked-phone-messing-themes.html <-- bricked phone from theming? Sep 23 18:46:30 lol Sep 23 18:46:37 what did you mean "reset their phone using the default ipk" Sep 23 18:47:29 using umm... Sep 23 18:47:40 the ipk with palms files in it Sep 23 18:47:50 http://www.mediafire.com/?l2zdnmimjyl that Sep 23 18:47:57 woops, didnt mean to pm you eg Sep 23 18:49:52 alright, talk to u folks later Sep 23 18:49:55 How would that effect things? Sep 23 18:50:10 palm should hire those guys for testing .. since they seem to be able to break anything Sep 23 18:50:33 and I'm not sure that it would, I don't know if the md5sums are diff. I pulled those from the emulator Sep 23 18:50:36 lol but that's how it is, anything a user CAN do they will do Sep 23 18:50:57 and yea I know right? Unless there's a theme with some core system files in it that shouldnt have been touched and didnt get removed properly Sep 23 18:51:10 but that would've had to been one made with theme builder Sep 23 18:51:49 AnOutsider|Hairc, even if the install with ipk default palm images, things would be fine Sep 23 18:52:57 well i dont remember which version of webos i was running when I grabbed them. If it was a version before the current 1.1, isnt it possible the checksums could vary? Sep 23 18:54:26 on install you would be md5sum'ing them and saving it Sep 23 18:54:57 then if they weren't stock 1.1.0, when uninstall the .bak would be copied over which are 1.1.0 (assuming you verified those md5sums from /usr/lib/ipkg/info/*.md5sums prior to creating the .bak) Sep 23 18:55:56 the md5sum checking would only skip files that were put on WITHOUT using your ipk postinst method Sep 23 19:03:13 theres no way to auto send a txt message from an app correct Sep 23 19:03:14 ? Sep 23 19:40:20 does anybody know how to get the logs to appear on the actual device? Sep 23 19:40:37 I have dev mode enabled and the logLevel is all the way up Sep 23 19:41:10 I have a pretty basic ssh question. I can only access my pre if I set up a config file that has the host name and port set. if I try to set the port from the command line I get nothing Sep 23 19:41:21 anyone know what im doing wrong? Sep 23 19:42:12 * sportman waves Sep 23 19:42:14 whats new? Sep 23 19:43:59 edektor: look in syslog Sep 23 19:45:42 PuffTheMagic: where is syslog Sep 23 19:46:21 /var/log/messages Sep 23 19:47:04 messages isnt a directory Sep 23 19:47:09 it's a file Sep 23 19:47:16 with all the log messages Sep 23 19:47:29 tail /var/log/messages to see the end of it Sep 23 19:47:47 i know.. But my logs arent showing up in it Sep 23 19:47:53 theonetruedevo, what OS and what are your symptoms Sep 23 19:47:55 im in dev mode and my logLevel is 99 Sep 23 19:48:21 I think there's a bug that doesn't log the info messages or something Sep 23 19:48:31 so use error Sep 23 19:48:43 k Sep 23 19:48:43 Mojo.Log.error("") or something Sep 23 19:48:47 egaudet_work: I'm on ubuntu and ssh just hangs Sep 23 19:49:05 ssh -p 222 @ Sep 23 19:49:48 Make sure pre doesn't sleep (which turns off wifi), should stay on if charging Sep 23 19:49:55 with USB Sep 23 19:50:15 I have a vague question.. Sep 23 19:50:54 It is my understanding you will be buying the "for-pay" apps directly from Palm. Giving palm your cc info. Sprint will have NOTHING to do with it. Correct? Sep 23 19:51:19 I believe so Sep 23 19:51:33 That is what I read in the doc's about it at least. Sep 23 19:51:45 30% palm 70% developer or whatever Sep 23 19:51:50 right Sep 23 19:52:11 nothing to do with the carrier Sep 23 19:52:29 So if that is the case, then I think the excuse "sprint is delaying the release of 1.2 so they can 'test the changes to the app catalog' and other changes since leaked 1.2" is hogwash. Sep 23 19:52:33 egaudet_work: for what ever reason that works when you tell me to do it but didn't when i tried it early. thanks Sep 23 19:52:39 Why would sprint need to test something they have nothing to do with? Sep 23 19:53:13 Who knows the device better than the actual developers themselves? Sprint doesn't know their head from the arse when it comes to phone development. Sep 23 19:53:38 Do I make a valid point? Sep 23 19:54:31 DeCiBeL, sprint has development team as well (nascar, sprint tv, telenav apps...) Sep 23 19:54:38 I know this. Sep 23 19:55:05 but everything out there for the reasons it was leaked or delayed are all rumor and I don't listen to rumor Sep 23 19:55:14 BTW, I am almost 99% sure Sprint Nav is actually programmed by Telenav's team; not sprint. Sep 23 19:55:22 Because it is 100% copyright telenav, not sprint. Sep 23 19:55:24 theonetruedevo, magical :D maybe your wifi was off or something earlier Sep 23 19:55:56 egaudet_work: that is probably it Sep 23 19:55:58 But yes, Sprint does have a programming group. However, they wouldn't know how/what to test when it comes to the inner workings of the App Catalog of WebOS. Sep 23 19:56:19 i see, but those are still apps embedded in webos not downloadable apps, so they are more closely tied into webos releases because they HAVE to work before a release can come out Sep 23 19:56:19 lmao, early adopters are very aware of the site. I would say 98% of Pre owners DO know about this site. Sep 23 19:56:19 Submitted by s4mb4 on Wed, 09/23/2009 - 13:04. Sep 23 19:57:16 I could understand that, but I am sure what Sprint does is work alot more closely with Palm in that respect. I bet they actually have a couple developers on the Palm staff to keep things up to do ate. Sep 23 19:57:33 98% of any group probably wouldn't all know the earth is round :P Sep 23 19:57:48 I thought that was a hilarious post Sep 23 19:58:05 When I know 10 pre owners off the top of my head and 8 of them don't know about precentral Sep 23 19:58:14 or at least didn't until I turned them on (to it). :D Sep 23 19:59:23 What I think is wrong? Sep 23 19:59:35 is there a way to disable breadcrums in the admin section? Sep 23 19:59:39 whoops Sep 23 19:59:41 wrong room Sep 23 19:59:43 I think Dieter made a mistake by posting the rumor AND the iTunes sync in the same post Sep 23 19:59:48 * sportman waves to PuffTheMagic Sep 23 20:00:21 it was misleading. making people think the "rumor of the delay" is "because of iTunes", not a "side-note". Sep 23 20:00:44 sportman: ? Sep 23 20:00:54 HA.. Sep 23 20:00:57 this is so not true: Sep 23 20:00:57 how goes it pu Sep 23 20:01:00 PuffTheMagic: Sep 23 20:01:06 "Actually, the biggest reason they are delaying this is because they are trying to solve the storage bug and figure out how to avoid bad press while doing it. :-)" Sep 23 20:01:34 anyone else having an issue with pulling the keyboard up? it only seems to respond to my taps every ... 10 or so attempts ;x Sep 23 20:01:39 virutal* Sep 23 20:03:24 punzada, say that again?

Sep 23 21:24:31 yeah Sep 23 21:31:38 is it that the parameter isn't being seen, or that the scene is not pushing? Sep 23 21:32:40 edektor the object is supposed to have ALL the parameters. Sep 23 21:33:02 with what key? Sep 23 21:33:28 so you need to do this: this.controller.stageController.swapScene({name: "artist-songs", transition:Mojo.Transition.none, artist: response.result.albums[0].artistID} ); Sep 23 21:33:33 whatever key you like Sep 23 21:35:28 k thanks Sep 23 21:37:39 edektor i did that wrong wait a minute Sep 23 21:37:46 k Sep 23 21:37:46 edektor try this Sep 23 21:38:13 I got it working outside the object Sep 23 21:38:40 this.controller.stageController.swapScene({name: "artist-songs", transition:Mojo.Transition.none}, { artist:response.result.albums[0].artistID} ); Sep 23 21:38:44 right Sep 23 21:39:04 the first part of swapscene is what scene is being pushed optional appid and required name. Sep 23 21:39:25 but I didnt user another object I just sent the artistID Sep 23 21:39:28 the second part is an OBJECT that is passed to the new scene -- oNE object, which can contain as many things in it as you want, with various names. Sep 23 21:39:36 a value is an object. Sep 23 21:41:22 I just passed the response.results.albums[0].artistID Sep 23 22:15:06 guys, i wonder if anyone here had a Clie TH55DK (or know someone who has one)?

Sep 23 23:48:20 ah no i missed the early program Sep 23 23:51:58 sampson: what issues are you still having Sep 23 23:52:32 the last command Sep 23 23:52:44 i edit that file /usr/arm-none/linux-gnueabi/etc/portage/package.mask Sep 23 23:52:45 which one? Sep 23 23:52:58 and then did emerge-arm-none-linux-gnueabi glib blah blah Sep 23 23:53:04 but it can't find ebuilds to satisfy anything past glib Sep 23 23:53:42 yeah older libs arent in portage any more Sep 23 23:53:57 dig trhem out of cvs or use my overlay Sep 23 23:54:04 blarg Sep 23 23:58:27 sampson: http://omploader.org/vMmV0aA Sep 23 23:58:35 Is it possible to use the webosdoctor for 1.2 to ugprade the emulator? Sep 23 23:58:36 need some serious alpha testing with patch ipk WHO IS DOWN Sep 23 23:59:23 Does anyone know why my ringer volume doesn't correspond with my system sounds volume? Sep 23 23:59:32 Anyone have a related issue? Sep 24 00:00:00 do they ever aside from the ringer switch muting both of them? Sep 24 00:01:01 DeCiBeL: you can upgrade the emulator partially to 1.2. scp -rp /usr/palm and /usr/lib/luna across and reboot Sep 24 00:01:53 PuffTheMagic: where do i untar this to Sep 24 00:02:34 nm i guess i could've untared it and seen what was in it Sep 24 00:02:41 anywhere Sep 24 00:02:54 but you will need to add it to your make.conf Sep 24 00:02:55 DeCiBeL: that will upgrade all the stock apps and frameworks and all the java services -- I have tested it and it works. you won't have the new browser or any new c based services if they exist (because we only have arm binaries and not x86) , but it's as close as you can get and does seem to do the trick Sep 24 00:02:56 the path that is Sep 24 00:03:04 what variable do i use in make.conf Sep 24 00:03:08 on PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/path/to/overlay" Sep 24 00:03:11 ah k Sep 24 00:03:26 sampson: that is a space seperated list of overlays byw Sep 24 00:03:29 btw Sep 24 00:04:37 destinal_work sweet.. does that update the app cat too? Sep 24 00:04:59 hrm Sep 24 00:05:10 DeCiBeL: it'll give you the catalog application, but the catalog app doesn't work on the emulator without more trickery Sep 24 00:05:15 do i need to do like an emerge update or something? Sep 24 00:05:26 destinal_work: cool, I will do more trickery. :D Sep 24 00:05:54 sampson: no Sep 24 00:06:13 well i untard it ot /usr/local/portage and added that to make.conf but it still doesn't see it Sep 24 00:06:38 oops nevermind Sep 24 00:06:40 IGNORE ME Sep 24 00:07:19 DeCiBeL: I haven't even gotten it working all the way, I have copied the "nvram area" (partition 1 on the flash, with the tokens in it) to an image file on the emulator and edited /etc/event.d/tokens to add " --device /p1.img " to the exec line and rebooted, and that causes it to pick up the tokens (serial #, etc) of your pre, but still the MEID of an emulator is 0000000 which will catch you out when trying to use catalog Sep 24 00:07:44 hmm Sep 24 00:08:21 basically, the catalog app logs into a service on palm's side which won't auth you successfully without all the right data Sep 24 00:09:04 Can you not modify the meid somewhere in the virtualbox config file? Sep 24 00:09:41 DeCiBeL: The java service which returns MEID may have to be modified to return the contents of a file so you can edit it on the device, or something Sep 24 00:10:04 or the app modified to store a different one Sep 24 00:10:27 Ahh.. because the java service in the emulator probably doesn't poll the emulator at all, it probably just returns 0000000000 Sep 24 00:10:48 well MEID is no part of virtualbox, it's part of hardware that isn't present at all Sep 24 00:10:55 right Sep 24 00:11:09 meid is stored in the chipset on the phone Sep 24 00:11:18 which an "emulator" obviously wouldn't have Sep 24 00:11:22 like the "radio" Sep 24 00:11:32 failure probably causes it to return a generic zeroes number Sep 24 00:11:49 or maybe it's the virtual hardware support, yeah Sep 24 00:12:03 in hacked services on the emulator build Sep 24 00:12:04 basically I was just going to see if the App store went live tonight Sep 24 00:12:46 And I wanted to see if they changed anything in the binaries that cause the 50 app limit Sep 24 00:14:02 DeCiBeL: you don't need the app store for that Sep 24 00:14:14 no? Sep 24 00:14:26 you can run palm-install Sep 24 00:14:31 duh Sep 24 00:14:33 I knew that Sep 24 00:14:36 hahahaha.. thanks Sep 24 00:14:50 also hmm Sep 24 00:14:57 I didn't mean that rudely.. I meant that as.. "I feel like an idiot, thanks for reminding me!" Sep 24 00:14:58 you should be able to run filecoaster I think Sep 24 00:15:04 Good point! Sep 24 00:15:13 Crap! I haven't even installed the emulator yet Sep 24 00:15:15 the "installnoverify" function it calls is in the same service as the one the app store uses Sep 24 00:15:30 so is probably more similar than palm-install Sep 24 00:15:31 * DeCiBeL reinstalled Win 7 on Aug 6th, OEM style. Sep 24 00:16:20 but I'll try some more to get the app catalog working (both 1.1 and 1.2 app catalogs) on the emulator tonight Sep 24 00:17:11 I doubt it'll ever work for folks without actual pre's to get their nvram area partition off of, but it still may be helpful to some Sep 24 00:17:39 rwhitby, ping Sep 24 00:22:59 You all ever seen Little Nicky? Sep 24 00:28:31 egaudet: syn|ack Sep 24 00:31:12 Have a few patch packages building with autobuilder in the build.git i want to put into a test feed for alpha testing, but I don't want the autobuilder to pick it up as a release to real feed if i push them in? Sep 24 00:37:50 egaudet: if you put them in a new subdirectory that the makefile doesn't descend into by default, that would be the easiest Sep 24 00:38:24 maybe 'autopatch' might be a good name, alongside 'patches', 'services', 'plugins', 'optware'. Sep 24 00:38:37 Then you can make SUBDIRS=autopatch for testing Sep 24 00:38:56 SUBDIRS is used by what? Sep 24 00:39:07 autotools Sep 24 00:39:21 top-level makefile to determine which subdirs to descend into. nothing to do with autotools in this instance. Sep 24 00:39:46 oh ok so make SUBDIRS=autopatch will descend into that dir and make all subdirs there? Sep 24 00:39:52 egaudet: yep Sep 24 00:40:02 nice Sep 24 00:40:34 egaudet: as long as you don't change the default definition in the top-level Makefile, the autobuilder won't go there. Sep 24 00:40:38 DEPENDS=package1 package2 in Makefile works with preware right? Would it work in offline mode? Sep 24 00:53:11 egaudet: last i knew deps worked properly if they dont have postinst Sep 24 00:55:50 so if I use command line ipkg -o /var it should work as well? Sep 24 00:58:25 Who wants to alpha test some patching via preware super goodness :D Sep 24 01:02:10 Hey could anyone help me run the clean_kb_files.sh script? I'm having a bit of difficulty. Sep 24 01:03:11 what's the issue? Sep 24 01:03:33 I have novaterm running. I copied the .sh file to my pre in USB mode but I can't get it to run Sep 24 01:05:15 I'm getting Sep 24 01:05:16 #webos-internals Sep 24 01:05:19 err... Sep 24 01:05:43 sh: can't open clean_kb_files.sh Sep 24 01:05:44 o hay WUTUP Sep 24 01:05:55 if you add a google account as an exchange account it only syncs the people in My Contacts Sep 24 01:07:02 why is the emulator getting a 10.0.X.X ip when my network is a 192.168.1.* network? Sep 24 01:07:47 it's set to use nat inside virtual box Sep 24 01:07:50 so it's a nat inside of a nat Sep 24 01:08:15 odd Sep 24 01:08:32 so I what do i change it to so I can communicate to it from windows Sep 24 01:09:47 DeCiBeL: add a second network interface and set it to host-only Sep 24 01:09:55 10-4 Sep 24 01:10:03 I was just about to try that, thanks rod Sep 24 01:10:18 that's easier than changing the tcp stack settings via virtualbox Sep 24 01:10:27 Hamilton, are you in novaterm right now? Sep 24 01:10:32 type the following Sep 24 01:10:38 ls /media/internal/clean_kb_files.sh Sep 24 01:10:53 So I figured out what was going on, I put it back into charging mode and it worked. However if I use the KB double tap command it puts in a line of error text instead Sep 24 01:11:51 and I am still receiving error #4 when I attempt to install the virtual keyboard Sep 24 01:12:02 what is the "KB double tap command"? Sep 24 01:12:11 Blah, VK is boring Sep 24 01:12:15 not worth it Sep 24 01:12:25 when you tap the gesture area twice. Sep 24 01:12:30 double tap would be the tapping twice to open KB I assume Sep 24 01:12:40 well you have to install it first Sep 24 01:12:56 Hamilton, did you successfully run the clean_kb_files.sh command? Sep 24 01:13:11 when you get the error in preware, hit the app menu and then ipkg log and tell me what it says Sep 24 01:13:32 you have to follow the thread and restore the 2 palm files Sep 24 01:13:33 It doesn't return an error when I enter the command in novaterm but it doesn't give me any type of confirmation Sep 24 01:13:45 Hamilton, no error is confirmation enough for me Sep 24 01:13:56 that removes the keyboard patch created files Sep 24 01:14:20 where do you find them in the web os doctor? Sep 24 01:14:38 Poll: Dropbear or Openssh? Sep 24 01:15:32 <---unfamiliar with linux Sep 24 01:17:57 Error: mismatch md5sums Sep 24 01:18:09 Hamilton, yes that indicates the 2 files need to be restored from the doctor Sep 24 01:18:24 Awesome...where do I find the files in the doctor? :p Sep 24 01:18:57 unpack the doctor, then unpack webOS.tar, and then unpack nova-cust-image-castle.rootfs.tar.gz Sep 24 01:19:02 and then they will be at Sep 24 01:19:15 usr/palm/frameworks/mojo/builtins/palmInitFramework191_15.js and Sep 24 01:19:28 usr/palm/frameworks/submissions/191.15/stylesheets/global.css Sep 24 01:21:01 I'm unable to locate user/palm Sep 24 01:24:42 Is there a place where I could downlaod them alone? Sep 24 01:25:16 you know I just had a really dumb/random thought. 1) where you can get the palm kernel sources? 2) how much fun do you think it will be to add ext4 support? :D Sep 24 01:26:53 Hey? Sep 24 01:28:02 ahoy hoy Sep 24 01:28:15 not user Sep 24 01:28:15 usr Sep 24 01:28:38 Ah, my bad. None the less the only file in that directory is Sep 24 01:29:05 lib Sep 24 01:29:10 in what directory Sep 24 01:29:21 you extracted the doctor image Sep 24 01:29:28 unzip Sep 24 01:29:42 nova-cust-image-castle.rootfs Sep 24 01:30:25 Which uses less resources, openssh or dropbear? Sep 24 01:30:35 I see you all are installing openssh in the sh script now.. Sep 24 01:30:39 ext4 is so great especia000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Sep 24 01:31:29 Afternood Sep 24 01:31:32 *noon Sep 24 01:32:06 afternoon kesne Sep 24 01:32:51 Tell us.. without violating NDA's.. Or while violating.. lol.. have you heard anything that might lead to truth behind the pay app catalog not launching tomorrow? Sep 24 01:33:14 DeCiBeL: Developers are kept out of the loop on this Sep 24 01:33:16 I'm getting interviewed by palm, ARG! Sep 24 01:33:17 * DeCiBeL puts blindfolds over everyones eyes. Sep 24 01:33:19 bleh nevermind about my ext4 idea, i'd have to build from .28 at least Sep 24 01:33:48 I don't understand why.. You are expecting your app to start selling tomorrow.. LOL.. I would think you would be the first. :D Sep 24 01:33:54 Wasn't there a front page article about it being delayed? Sep 24 01:34:06 "rumor" hamilton.. "rumor" Sep 24 01:34:14 My bad :p Sep 24 01:34:17 rumors seem to have been pretty spot on lately Sep 24 01:34:25 And kesne is our 15 yr old prodigy that is supposed to violate NDA's for us Sep 24 01:34:27 although i havne't had my phone and followed as close as some Sep 24 01:34:35 haha Sep 24 01:34:41 yeah, let the minor do it Sep 24 01:34:45 exactly! Sep 24 01:34:58 Worst he could get is juvi hall for like 3 years Sep 24 01:35:06 LOL Sep 24 01:35:16 what are you in for? 'damn NDA's coudln't hold me down' Sep 24 01:35:22 couldn't* Sep 24 01:35:25 rofl Sep 24 01:35:32 rwhitby wouldn't like this discussion ;) Sep 24 01:35:43 he would slap us all Sep 24 01:35:51 nifty. may have just found out whats killin me Sep 24 01:35:56 Actually Sep 24 01:36:00 well we're not actively posting code on how to hack apps, just joking about NDAs Sep 24 01:36:14 I dont think thats the same level ;p Sep 24 01:36:14 Contacts only binding for those over 18 Sep 24 01:36:14 kesney, tell palm to go away... They can't interview you without proper "compensation". :D Sep 24 01:36:15 ;) Sep 24 01:36:25 lol Sep 24 01:36:26 kesne* Sep 24 01:36:30 Free pixi! Sep 24 01:36:39 Good Idea! Sep 24 01:36:40 xD Sep 24 01:36:53 Yea!! Tell them, You bring a pixi to the interview and Im in. Sep 24 01:36:53 sadly i wouldn't even want a free pixi i'd sell it ;x Sep 24 01:36:58 it looks goofy to me Sep 24 01:37:01 Or fly to me to Sunny Sunnyvale. Sep 24 01:37:11 with 3 17 year old hot blondes Sep 24 01:37:15 I would take it and sell it too :P Sep 24 01:37:16 DeCiBeL: I don't think you should be slandering kense like that in a public channel. Sep 24 01:37:16 but i also haven't been one of the unlucky oreo people either, so I might get the wanting Sep 24 01:37:30 See, I knew it was coming. Sep 24 01:37:35 The interview is over the phone Sep 24 01:37:35 haha Sep 24 01:37:37 You called it Sep 24 01:37:37 Ohh mine has a bit of oreo Sep 24 01:37:37 I wasn't slandering him. He knows I was joking. Sep 24 01:37:57 And if doesn't, I apologize and should have prefaced it. Sep 24 01:38:11 he might, but his future employer reading the public logs of this channel may not ... Sep 24 01:38:22 Well Sep 24 01:38:25 My name isnt Kesne Sep 24 01:38:27 mornin rwhitby Sep 24 01:38:29 Just my online name Sep 24 01:38:46 So searching... my real name wouldnt bring this up Sep 24 01:38:47 kesne: if you think the two can't be correlated, you'd better think again. Sep 24 01:38:55 I know they can Sep 24 01:39:09 Perhaps turn logging off? xD Sep 24 01:39:13 ha Sep 24 01:39:19 lol! Sep 24 01:39:29 kesne: I make hiring decisions at my company, and I can tell you that the online footprint of a candidate is an important consideration in the decision. Sep 24 01:39:50 The watercooler isn't logged, go talk about it in there :P lol Sep 24 01:39:51 To those that might know who kesne is and what he does, I was not insinuating anything by asking him questions about an NDA. I withdrawal my statements and will refrain from further conversations of the subject. Please do not take my words literal, as they were merely said for entertainment purposes. Sep 24 01:40:45 kesne: I see too many people today not thinking about the future impact of their online presence. just a friendly piece of advice, to be listened to or ignored at your choice :-) Sep 24 01:41:04 rwhitby: I do the same. Online footprint is a large part of my hiring process as well. You can find out a hell of a lot about the person just by browsing online ;) Sep 24 01:41:06 feel free to tell the old fogey to pull his head in :-) Sep 24 01:41:30 rwhitby, I keep it cool online, Sep 24 01:41:33 Search my name Sep 24 01:41:40 rwhitby and eguy, I really hope you all can also understand the difference between "personal" and "work" lives. Sep 24 01:41:48 would any global.css work? I can't find one in that specific directory but a search brought up several Sep 24 01:41:51 You'll find me joking around, but I mean nothing that would get me fired or not hired Sep 24 01:41:53 rwhitby, can we uhh hook up autopatch/ to some testing feed :D Sep 24 01:41:55 What I do on my own time outside of work has no impact on my work abilities. Sep 24 01:42:15 DeCiBeL: in an ideal world that would be true :-) Sep 24 01:42:16 We are not hiring you Decibel, no need to worry :P Sep 24 01:42:19 And it is upsetting to see very prominent people be denied a position based on their 'personal lives'. Sep 24 01:42:33 Thank god.. You all would soo shoot me. Sep 24 01:42:37 Thats why you join the watercooler Sep 24 01:42:41 naw rwhitby that is very good advice, and as a constant-employment-seeking 23 year old I have been doing my best as of lately to minimize any possibly damaging information. On that note though I would be curious as to what procedure you use as someone hiring to check their online indentity simple google of name and alias searches or specific toolset? Sep 24 01:42:42 Aye! Sep 24 01:42:53 disregard that. Sep 24 01:43:01 Wonder why I don't put anything derogatory about myself on Facebook.. Sep 24 01:43:11 And why my facebook is set to "prviate" Sep 24 01:43:15 DeCiBeL: when you have two identical candidates based on their "work" lives, information on the personal life that is available will usually be used. that's just a fact of life. Sep 24 01:43:22 Should I tell Palm I'm 15? Sep 24 01:43:29 rwhitby Sep 24 01:43:29 punzada: It is more than that Sep 24 01:43:32 woops Sep 24 01:43:44 my "professional" face if searched through facebook would definitely harm me. The real question is does that mean I should have no personal life? Sep 24 01:43:54 not me specifically. i'm speaking hypthetically. Sep 24 01:43:59 kesne: They already know since you said it in this channel ;) Sep 24 01:44:16 rwhitby: I completely agree. But it is sad when they are denied the position because of something they did or said in a personal manor that has nothing to do with their work or potential work. Sep 24 01:44:18 Hamilton: having a private life, and keeping that private life private are two different things :-) Sep 24 01:44:22 True, but hey, maybe they don't REALLY know. Sep 24 01:44:31 rwhitby: your take? Sep 24 01:44:42 Example: If I was interviewing for a amanger of a resteraunt and I said something about how cell phones are gai in a chatroom. Sep 24 01:44:50 kesne: I doubt that Palm would have any problem with you being 15. Sep 24 01:44:55 And the hiring manager loves cell phones and decides I am not fit because I said that. Sep 24 01:45:04 They already know I'm "under 18" Sep 24 01:45:05 kesne: I expect they see it as a marketing asset. Sep 24 01:45:07 Even though cell phones have nothing to do with it. Sep 24 01:45:55 Because when contracts came round' I couldnt sign Sep 24 01:45:59 My parents had to sign everything Sep 24 01:46:01 kesne, of course they do.. You're probably the youngest developer they have with an app in teh catalog. Sep 24 01:46:01 well searching my name shows my name on the 'year without drm' petition Sep 24 01:46:03 >> Sep 24 01:46:04 kesne: and as you are already careful about your online presence, it can only be a good thing. Sep 24 01:46:23 I think having a 15 year old developer is a great publicity enhancement Sep 24 01:46:31 Well, searching kesne, no bad results Sep 24 01:46:37 WHo hacked the iPhone? a 14 year old? Sep 24 01:46:38 kesne: It's an honor. They are excited to have someone so young be involved. Sep 24 01:46:40 yup 'so easy a caveman, I mean a fifteen year old, can do it!' Sep 24 01:46:45 I don't remember Sep 24 01:46:49 no disrespect, I'm a horrible developer. Sep 24 01:46:55 No registrations on porn, illegal, gambling, etc website Sep 24 01:46:56 egaudet: looking at it now Sep 24 01:47:19 Only thing I'm worried about is my twitter Sep 24 01:47:22 ohh I should probably hide my porn registrations..... Sep 24 01:47:25 I had a .. 'sorted' past online when I was younger, my hat was far from white. Sep 24 01:47:28 * oil googles "oil" to see the what page he first shows up on Sep 24 01:47:57 I'm working on getting the rest of the gitorious .patch files in. Sep 24 01:47:57 oil: did you end up with saudi arabia? Sep 24 01:48:03 I'm slapped all over google Sep 24 01:48:05 probably a bad thing Sep 24 01:48:05 lol Sep 24 01:48:19 Good thing I have a live show Sep 24 01:48:22 That isnt recorded... Sep 24 01:48:23 :P Sep 24 01:48:32 what Sep 24 01:48:38 or they would see you disconnect a bunch? Sep 24 01:48:41 xD Sep 24 01:48:48 Hehe Sep 24 01:48:53 Hey, I didnt on the PalmCast Sep 24 01:48:59 hi Sep 24 01:49:05 The worst thing that probably comes when searching about me is my reddit, since I know for a fact I've been candid and openly mouthy in certain comments. Sep 24 01:49:30 lol reddit Sep 24 01:49:30 * oil got to page 10 and stopped looking Sep 24 01:49:55 BTW, is the palmcast live avail for dl yet? Sep 24 01:50:23 egaudet: in sed, you can say 's|foo/bar|replacement|' to save yourself the leaning-toothpicks-syndrome Sep 24 01:50:43 is it possible to change the current ringtone with an application? Sep 24 01:50:46 what does Sep 24 01:50:48 Not yet Sep 24 01:50:54 Proabably tomorrow decibel Sep 24 01:51:03 rwhitby, will fix Sep 24 01:51:14 "cp: omitting directory /media/internal/" mean? Sep 24 01:51:31 cool Sep 24 01:51:33 Hamilton, what did you type? Sep 24 01:52:38 anyone know the API to use or how I might change the current ringtone? Sep 24 01:54:21 I didn't use the cp command correctly. Is there in way to bring back the previous entry in novaterm? or do I have to retype any lines I enter incorrectly? Sep 24 01:54:50 up arrow? Sep 24 01:54:55 up arrow Sep 24 01:55:16 though if you're using my crappy .net thing, i dont think it maps the arrows properly Sep 24 01:55:36 egaudet: perhaps org.webosinternals.patches.* ? Sep 24 01:55:37 lots of people are using your crappy .net thing. :-) Thank you again for writing that. Sep 24 01:55:46 I think its the crappy .net thing. I'm following the instructions from the post. Sep 24 01:55:49 sure. i put the source back up, btw Sep 24 01:56:11 geist: thanks for that. Sep 24 01:56:13 how increadably kind. I'll try to find some kind .net geek to compile a 64 bit version.... Sep 24 01:56:18 and it finally kicked our sw group into gear and they're writing a java one now Sep 24 01:56:20 .net novaterm? what is it for those x64 users that were having troubles? Sep 24 01:56:23 i'll push to get it out there Sep 24 01:56:37 rwhitby, for the ipk names? Sep 24 01:56:52 http://tkgeisel.com/stuff/novaterm-1.src.zip btw Sep 24 01:56:56 geist: any hope of getting novacom drivers separated from the doctor jar and downloadable separately? Sep 24 01:57:00 geist, that is EXTREMELY good news! Sep 24 01:57:03 egaudet: yes Sep 24 01:57:14 rwhitby: probably not Sep 24 01:57:15 k Sep 24 01:57:17 egaudet: should just be a change to common.mk, rigth? Sep 24 01:57:26 well, I mean maybe, but I doubt they'll listen to me Sep 24 01:57:33 geist: no worries. Sep 24 01:57:54 rwhitby: did you hear about those dust storms? Sep 24 01:58:06 Eguy: they just missed me Sep 24 01:58:19 Good to hear Sep 24 01:58:29 punzada, the .net novaterm that geist did in a magical evening of hacking (it was quite a thing to watch) is a 32 bit app. but it turns out that if you flip a switch in it with a microsoft utility you CAN run it on a 64 bit version of windows. Sep 24 01:58:34 I can't imagine where they came from Sep 24 01:58:41 rwhitby, yea Sep 24 01:59:40 where can I get this crappy tool Sep 24 01:59:41 i can give it a try later, but i have no way of testing it Sep 24 02:00:06 from my crappy web site Sep 24 02:00:14 whats the crappy URL Sep 24 02:00:23 this one http://tkgeisel.com/stuff/novaterm-1.zip Sep 24 02:00:28 but it's crap Sep 24 02:00:40 eguadet: I can't seem to get the cp command to work properly. I think I'm typing out everything correctly Sep 24 02:00:41 but actually it's linked on the wiki somewhere Sep 24 02:02:32 mluker: it's on the accessing linux web page on www.webos-internals.org Sep 24 02:02:38 Hamilton, what are you typing Sep 24 02:03:01 thanks Sep 24 02:03:26 egaudet: will there ever be architecture-specific versions of the autopatch stuff? Sep 24 02:03:34 mluker: in order to flip the bit for 64 bit windows you'll need microsoft coreflags too at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms164699(VS.80).aspx Sep 24 02:03:43 which is ALSO linked from the accessing linux page on the wiki Sep 24 02:03:45 :-) Sep 24 02:03:49 we gots everything we does. Sep 24 02:03:51 cp /media/internal/palmInitFramework_15.js /usr/palm/frameworks/builtins Sep 24 02:04:14 Hamilton: are you root? Sep 24 02:04:15 cp /media/internal/palmInitFramework_15.js /usr/palm/frameworks/mojo/builtins Sep 24 02:04:18 egaudet: http://ipkg.preware.org/feeds/autopatch/testing/all/ Sep 24 02:04:20 All i did to get the driver to install in 64 bit Windows 7 was point it to the actual driver inf file Sep 24 02:04:20 forgot mojo Sep 24 02:04:31 i didn't do the bit flip Sep 24 02:04:34 I realized that moments ago...This is just like math. I always forget one thing. Sep 24 02:04:41 rwhitby, is this autobuilt or shall I ping you when I add more Sep 24 02:04:41 you can't forget the mojo baby yeah! Sep 24 02:04:54 DeCiBeL: we're not talking about the driver we're talking about the novaterm PROGRM Sep 24 02:04:55 +1 to Eguy. Sep 24 02:05:01 ahhh Sep 24 02:05:04 Referencing austin powers is ALWAYS awesome. Sep 24 02:05:08 a terminal program geist wrote sto that you you don't have to use SSH to get into the pre. Sep 24 02:05:11 :D Sep 24 02:05:11 don't mind me then. I will refrain for further comment. Sep 24 02:05:17 but can just terminal in over novacom -- Sep 24 02:05:38 I'd rather ssh. :D Sep 24 02:05:48 it gives the windows folks the same privlidges the mac and linux folks had from day one. Sep 24 02:06:01 of course, with novacom, you wouldn't have to install ssh via a "rooted" pre Sep 24 02:06:03 that could be nice Sep 24 02:06:07 egaudet: I'm looking in to how to autobuild the testing feed Sep 24 02:06:13 Plus, it was way intertaining. Sep 24 02:06:18 to watch him do it. Sep 24 02:06:27 You so seldom get to watch a master at work. Sep 24 02:06:28 yeah, I love echoing stuff directly over novacom from my linux shell Sep 24 02:06:41 Sweet. that did the trick! Sep 24 02:06:52 I'm super excited now. I actually messed with Linux successfully. Sep 24 02:07:00 soooooooo who wants to go through the wiki and turn ALL the tweaks and mods and hacks into .patch files!?? :D Sep 24 02:07:09 lol Sep 24 02:07:14 For a free Pixi, Im in. Sep 24 02:07:26 What wiki? :P Sep 24 02:07:57 is it dowN? Sep 24 02:07:57 can't you just convert the diff's you already have for quilt? Sep 24 02:08:02 DeCiBeL, I am Sep 24 02:08:07 ah Sep 24 02:08:19 but there are lots of stuff that hasn't been diff'd and just listed in the wiki Sep 24 02:08:36 * DeCiBeL does have a clean emulator image now... Sep 24 02:09:13 Is preware going to start being able to "patch"? That would be awesome. Sep 24 02:09:28 DeCiBeL, yes that is what I am working on Sep 24 02:09:32 the only real problem with doing all this in patches Sep 24 02:09:34 want to alpha test!? Sep 24 02:09:41 LOL Sep 24 02:09:51 You mean donate my working pre to the cause? Sep 24 02:10:01 You can even perform EPR on it! Sep 24 02:10:03 is that each one is a package, filling up the count the app store uses Sep 24 02:10:08 (Emergency Patch Recovery) lol Sep 24 02:10:14 Yeehaa!! Sep 24 02:10:28 Screw the app store. Sep 24 02:10:33 that does stink oil, butttt you can just perform EPR Sep 24 02:10:36 oil: yep - not preware's problem :-) Sep 24 02:10:36 Untill I can actually buy stuff. Sep 24 02:10:44 and then reinstall them all later :P Sep 24 02:10:49 si. Sep 24 02:11:06 epr removes all the package installation stuff? Sep 24 02:11:14 or does the package still show as installed? Sep 24 02:11:30 is EPR a seperate program? Or is it just webosdoc? Sep 24 02:11:31 package is removed in offline mode Sep 24 02:11:35 would changing the current ring tone be somthing I can do via API? Sep 24 02:11:54 epr is magic. epr is mojo's mojo. epr is the wonder-touch epr causes the shy to be able to git up and DO Sep 24 02:11:54 EPR is an ipk with just a postinst that goes through the patch control area and removes all installed patch packages and recovers touched files from backups Sep 24 02:12:15 oil: not being able to install apps from the app store, but still being able to install homebrew, will soon be a financial incentive for Palm to remove the intentional arbitrary limit they have placed on the number of installed applications. Sep 24 02:12:40 since money is involved, it will be fixed quickly. Sep 24 02:12:48 rwhitby, are the servers down? Sep 24 02:12:49 rwhitby: are we absolutely CONFINVED it was intentional? Has someone found the issue in the binary library? Sep 24 02:12:56 i can't connect to the wiki Sep 24 02:13:04 egaudet: tom is upgrading apache as we speak Sep 24 02:13:10 k cool Sep 24 02:13:13 the servers have been "stressed" by our success. Sep 24 02:13:19 it will be back up in a bit. Sep 24 02:14:18 a couple of million page hits wasn't what Tom was expecting.... Sep 24 02:14:41 hehe nice! Sep 24 02:14:52 rick_home: it's an arbitrary number of applications limit in a Palm binary which is not imposed in any way by the underlying technology. Sep 24 02:15:36 sure, i understand that rwhitby but the question is, is it INTENTIONAL -- Sep 24 02:15:48 never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by imcompetance. Sep 24 02:16:33 rwhitby: if those rumors of an unlocked gsm pre for EU 480 in 3 weeks are true, that's --quite a bit less-- than we were thinking it might cost you. Sep 24 02:16:50 rick_home: it's code that was put there and can serve no other purpose. it's not a bug. Sep 24 02:17:18 rick_home: Palm sent the sites with those offerings take down notices. Sep 24 02:17:35 I doubt an unlocked GSM Pre will be available before Q3 2010 Sep 24 02:17:40 How is your pre rwhitby? Sep 24 02:18:41 who let the cat out of the bag? I was going to try and get a front-page story on PreCentral about the Pre being released in Australia, with pictures of it next to the Sydney Harbour bridge (where I'm on holidays next week) and everything! Sep 24 02:18:54 LOL Sep 24 02:19:07 It's nice enough that I'll be staying in the community ;-) Sep 24 02:19:13 rwhitby: but O2 Germany -- has -- to sell an unlocked pre by German law. Sep 24 02:19:23 rick_home: are you sure about that? Sep 24 02:19:27 as long as you can deal with a QWERTZ keyboard..... Sep 24 02:19:30 Smaller than you expected? Sep 24 02:19:38 Eguy: nope Sep 24 02:19:38 rwhi yes. Sep 24 02:19:52 is there a channel that talks pure development? Sep 24 02:19:52 (missed the tab key) Sep 24 02:20:00 rick_home: I can just swap the keyboards between the cdma and german gsm pre .... Sep 24 02:20:04 #webos Sep 24 02:20:04 mluker: this one usually Sep 24 02:20:18 ahh Sep 24 02:20:28 mluker: webos api-level development: #webos, the stuff underneath webos: here. Sep 24 02:20:30 mluker: what can we do for you, We can banish the chatter to the chat channel Sep 24 02:20:43 its just filling the space between development discussion Sep 24 02:20:58 mluker: what sort of dev chat are you needing? Sep 24 02:21:09 np, I was just wondering if the API can access things like changing current ring tone Sep 24 02:21:15 ahhh Sep 24 02:21:23 good qestion. Sep 24 02:21:37 I am a c# developer but new to webos Sep 24 02:21:37 I'm not sure if MyNotifications uses the com.palm namespace or not Sep 24 02:21:45 But that would be the app to go read code in Sep 24 02:21:59 since that's EXACTLY what he does Sep 24 02:22:08 k Sep 24 02:22:17 changes ringtones and alert tones and most every other noise the system produces. Sep 24 02:22:39 i want to create an app that changes the ringtone every call Sep 24 02:22:48 you could, of course, read the code in PALMS ringtone app as well. Sep 24 02:23:14 egaudet: how about we autobuild the autopatches feed, but just don't add it to ipkgservice yet? Sep 24 02:23:28 I am very NOOB, i have yet to ssh into my phone to poke around Sep 24 02:23:36 well welcome Sep 24 02:23:37 rwhitby, what do you mean Sep 24 02:23:54 autobuild it to it's own feed and don't add that feed to ipkgservice Sep 24 02:24:05 egaudet: make the feed public, but only to those who manually add it. Sep 24 02:24:31 mluker: oil hasnt ssh'd into it either Sep 24 02:24:39 mluker: so i guess hes a noob too Sep 24 02:24:46 oil: :D Sep 24 02:25:11 how are yall so webos smart? Sep 24 02:25:18 * rwhitby hasn't ssh'd into his phone either. Sep 24 02:25:38 neither have I. Sep 24 02:25:48 What's SSH? Sep 24 02:25:52 mluker: we've been working here since the day the pre was released. Sep 24 02:25:56 rwhitby, permanently? And isn't that how the test feed currently is? Sep 24 02:26:00 beating our heads against it. Sep 24 02:26:09 impressive Sep 24 02:26:19 mluker: WebOS is based on linux.. Which has been around forever. Sep 24 02:26:27 three months of that leaves you with blooddy walls, and a lot of information Most of which we have encoded on the wiki. Sep 24 02:26:37 or in the code in our public repository. Sep 24 02:26:39 decibel: It was not around in the 1920s Sep 24 02:26:45 yes it was Sep 24 02:26:47 I am jsut a boring windows developer :o| Sep 24 02:26:48 just not invented yet Sep 24 02:26:53 DeCiBeL: and the parts that are not linux are javascript and html and css. Sep 24 02:26:54 lol Sep 24 02:27:18 So anyway.. why does the sh script install openssh now instead of dropbear? Sep 24 02:27:34 mluker: at least as a c# developer, you're used to "real" objects and aren't a java-junkie who will keep whining that javascript isn't like Java. :-) Sep 24 02:27:35 I thought dropbear was a little less resource intense? Sep 24 02:27:50 openssh is better Sep 24 02:27:51 hehe, true. Sep 24 02:27:56 OOP is the hardest thing to grasp. Sep 24 02:27:56 DeCiBeL: dropbear requires 50% of the memory Sep 24 02:28:10 then why install openssh instead of dropbear? Sep 24 02:28:17 <= loves OOP Sep 24 02:28:20 Dropbear can't do sftp Sep 24 02:28:30 but it can scp Sep 24 02:28:44 I mean, "but you can scp" Sep 24 02:28:44 that's the same thing isnt it? Sep 24 02:28:50 yes Sep 24 02:28:56 Oh.. nm Sep 24 02:28:57 no Sep 24 02:28:59 I was thinking the other direction Sep 24 02:29:32 Rick got a nice shoutout on the palmcast yesterday *applause* Sep 24 02:29:45 I missed it, I need to listen when its available Sep 24 02:29:53 so who was the one who first gained root? Sep 24 02:30:04 argg.. I keep forgetting to turn "nodoze" off Sep 24 02:30:35 mluker: The tree in my backyard.. Sep 24 02:30:38 I just use timepiece instead of nodoze, since you need to leave the card open anyway might as well have a pretty clock Sep 24 02:30:40 OAK> Sep 24 02:30:47 Chinese Pistache. Sep 24 02:30:50 nice Sep 24 02:30:53 Steve Jobs was the first one to gain root Sep 24 02:30:57 bow down to the almighty Sep 24 02:31:08 * punzada gives Eguy the evil eye. Sep 24 02:31:14 Nah, it was someone at palm. Sep 24 02:31:15 silly people. Sep 24 02:31:30 everyone knows it was Stallman, king of the neckbeards. Sep 24 02:31:49 mluker: it's hard to remember. Sep 24 02:31:57 but it's in the wiki. Sep 24 02:31:58 lol stallman Sep 24 02:32:45 is the email/prompt-for-ipkg-installation.patch an old outdated patch? Sep 24 02:32:48 dang luna is a resource hoe Sep 24 02:32:54 yes she is Sep 24 02:33:09 The pre would run GREAT without luna Sep 24 02:33:19 I think I am going to create a crontab Sep 24 02:33:22 to SIGHUP her Sep 24 02:33:27 like every hour or so Sep 24 02:34:27 rick_home: sftp is not the reason to install openssh Sep 24 02:34:39 not that I care but will games on the pre ever match iphone games? Sep 24 02:34:46 mluker: yes Sep 24 02:34:53 it seems likely. Sep 24 02:34:54 mluker: once we get OpenGL or WebGL Sep 24 02:35:06 no graphics library right now Sep 24 02:35:07 i am so sick of iphoners talking about their games Sep 24 02:35:12 lol Sep 24 02:35:16 so basically what DeCiBeL is saying, is no. Sep 24 02:35:23 Heh, it won't last. Sep 24 02:35:26 how so? Sep 24 02:35:26 lol Sep 24 02:35:31 mluker: we are very very close to having directfb support for gzame developers Sep 24 02:35:42 blah blah Sep 24 02:35:47 once that is done, then the graphics accelerator chip in the pre is the same as the one in the iphone Sep 24 02:35:48 * Eguy waits for directx 11.... Sep 24 02:35:48 OpenGL! Sep 24 02:35:49 so "yes" Sep 24 02:35:52 because webgl is in its infancy and by the time it's actually nice for the pre, it will be an outdated device and they will be on the iphone 4+ Sep 24 02:36:08 egaudet: are you going to push a fix for the autopatch names? Sep 24 02:36:22 we don't need to rely on that though Sep 24 02:36:28 how far along is the directfb stuff, still have to totally kill the phone ui to run it eh? Sep 24 02:36:30 so you guys have no affiliation with palm, you just hack it for fun? Sep 24 02:36:46 rwhitby, the org.webosinternals.patch.* fix yea, just adding the rest of the modifications.git patches in Sep 24 02:36:50 thats what they say anyways Sep 24 02:36:53 xD Sep 24 02:36:53 correct mluker Sep 24 02:36:55 gimme 10 mins Sep 24 02:36:57 way too smart for me Sep 24 02:37:13 Although I just talk here and make people angry ;) Sep 24 02:37:15 egaudet: ok, cause it's autobuilding now. I'll just remove the old names when its updated Sep 24 02:37:29 mluker: developers are rarely 'smart' only 'obsessive' :D Sep 24 02:37:31 k Sep 24 02:37:38 very true Sep 24 02:37:41 mluker: I would not say for fun Sep 24 02:37:50 It's not so much "hacking" Sep 24 02:37:55 as it is "developing" Sep 24 02:38:01 I for one, have every intention of producing substantive pre apps which will pay for my retirement Sep 24 02:38:20 lol Sep 24 02:39:04 haha those are going to have to be some insane apps Rick Sep 24 02:39:25 or a BUNCH of apps Sep 24 02:39:28 well fck. I guess I need to find my linux for artards book. Sep 24 02:39:33 they're going to be secretive, he's just going to charge $1,000,000 per download Sep 24 02:39:46 The idiot's guide to linux :P Sep 24 02:39:56 bwaha Sep 24 02:40:08 mluker: ever use dos? Sep 24 02:40:13 punzada: ameng has it working, he's working on docs. Sep 24 02:40:18 everyone has at some point Sep 24 02:40:21 o.O Sep 24 02:40:22 lol, yeah. Sep 24 02:40:23 wow Sep 24 02:40:25 good stuff. Sep 24 02:40:38 I didn't think it would be that far along already, this community is quite amazing. Sep 24 02:40:41 mluker: you don't need linux to write apps for the pre. Sep 24 02:40:51 thats "basics".. ls/dir, cd, cp, mv, etc Sep 24 02:41:15 what does rm -rf / do? Sep 24 02:41:18 mluker: our commercial apps will be "pure mojo" -- javascript, html and css. Sep 24 02:41:23 someone told me to do it Sep 24 02:41:28 ;) Sep 24 02:41:33 lol Sep 24 02:41:36 let me find out Eguy Sep 24 02:41:49 haha Sep 24 02:42:05 I read all of the palm API docs and I just dont see the answers to my queastions. And crap, where the hell is intellisense Sep 24 02:42:23 mluker: ask Rick about Palm's documentation Sep 24 02:42:47 i did create an app that I put on my phone that prints "Ryan is a bitch" he is a coworker. Sep 24 02:43:01 its intense Sep 24 02:43:22 ipkg-opt install openssh Sep 24 02:43:28 woops wrong window. :( Sep 24 02:43:45 good lord the Instink HD is ugly Sep 24 02:44:51 I just ran rm -rf / on our SVN box. Its much faster now! Thanks Eguy! Sep 24 02:46:01 Good job mluker! That will actually make it reboot faster too. Sep 24 02:46:13 awesome, cant wait Sep 24 02:46:32 I'd say it will boot in less than 10% of the time it used to take. Sep 24 02:46:48 mluker: 1) palm's docs lie Sep 24 02:46:54 2) palms docs are incomplete. Sep 24 02:47:02 yup, and most examples are bug ridden Sep 24 02:47:08 it's pretty ... sad tbh Sep 24 02:47:11 3) you can learn everything you need by reading code. Sep 24 02:47:30 so whats the best way to do that? Sep 24 02:47:39 4) intellisense and a decent IDE are yours for the asking. Just ask and ye shall recieve. Sep 24 02:48:01 mluker: find an ap that has part of what you want to do, and download the IPK and pull the source code out Sep 24 02:48:12 OR use winscp and pull the source code out of the pre. Sep 24 02:48:35 ok that where I am dumb. How do I prep the pre for scp access Sep 24 02:48:43 so, you want to mess with background images, and screens and icons? Go grab the code for Preware and look at the theme install stuff Sep 24 02:49:00 mluker: go to www.webos-internals.org Sep 24 02:49:04 go to accessing linux Sep 24 02:49:07 follow the instructions Sep 24 02:49:11 k, brb Sep 24 02:49:13 do the "next steps" step Sep 24 02:49:15 done. Sep 24 02:49:27 I really wonder if palm is going to attempt to lock the system down tighter with the addition of paid applications. Sep 24 02:49:53 Your welcome mluker! Sep 24 02:49:59 I am glad that worked for you Sep 24 02:50:31 punzada: much easier for them to leave it open and let the developers deal with security of app source code, rather than Palm trying to protect the source, having a failure, and then getting sued by a class action of developers Sep 24 02:50:35 rwhitby, pushed changes Sep 24 02:51:14 suggestions for someone with no real programming experience, no knowledge of javascript Sep 24 02:51:15 who wrote the python talk script back in the day? Sep 24 02:51:26 to get started? Sep 24 02:51:35 rwhitby: good point, but besides some sort of obfuscation what choice to devs have with js/css/html? Sep 24 02:51:39 Xyg: really ABSOLUTELY no knowledge of javascript? Sep 24 02:51:47 zero Sep 24 02:51:52 right Sep 24 02:52:25 Xy Sep 24 02:52:39 Xyg -- any programming background or is that missing to? What languages DO you have? Sep 24 02:52:52 xyg, http://www.weboshelp.net/getting-started-with-webos/70-beginner-webos-mojo-tutorial is an okay start. Sep 24 02:53:14 xyg: who's leg are you pulling? :P Sep 24 02:53:19 I've putzed around with the hello world example on webos-internals, got komodo-edit with the webos plug in all installing to the emulator Sep 24 02:53:54 punzada: dunno, I do open source ;-) Sep 24 02:54:00 Eguy: possibly nobodies, I had close enough to 0 javascript knoweldge before my pre :P Sep 24 02:54:04 lol rwhitby fair enough Sep 24 02:54:22 basic HTML and limited CSS, even more basic PHP Sep 24 02:54:42 eguy: ;) Sep 24 02:55:07 rick_home: that's essentially missing too Sep 24 02:55:30 now i'm a master at setting up widgets, making them doing something besides say some profanity on the screen or push that value of profanity to another scene however is what is lacking Sep 24 02:55:57 ok Xyg you need to do one of the basic javascript tutorials. If you have done ANY php, that will be easier, because at least you know what an IF is Sep 24 02:56:46 so i have to be in dev mode anytime I want to connect to the phone? Sep 24 02:56:59 not if you ssh into it Sep 24 02:57:38 rick_home: should I look for those at webos-internals or do you have any suggestions for resources? Sep 24 02:57:44 ok, but I assume I have to do some sneaky shit to be able to SSH in. I am reading wiki now Sep 24 02:57:51 http://www.webteacher.com/javascript/ Sep 24 02:57:58 im glad someone found out the alternative dev mode string, i love the konami code as much as the next person but typing it is a pain ;p Sep 24 02:58:05 http://www.webmonkey.com/tutorial/JavaScript_Tutorial Sep 24 02:58:36 mluker: nope, just run the next steps script the way the wiki says Sep 24 02:58:41 and it sets it all up for you Sep 24 02:59:13 Xyg: then, after you've done that, then start reading the Hello World 2.0 thread and the associated app's code at http://forums.precentral.net/homebrew-apps/192313-instructional-beginners-hello-world-2-0-updated-7-16-a.html Sep 24 02:59:29 that app, and that thread is pointed at ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS.... Sep 24 02:59:49 do you mean "Set up users, Optware, and access (Strongly recommended)" Sep 24 02:59:55 yep Sep 24 02:59:57 k **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Sep 24 02:59:58 2009
