Mar 29 03:12:34 i've followed all the steps, all the fixes Mar 29 03:12:36 yes Mar 29 03:13:08 i've tried it without isntalling IPKG with installing it, installing it before preware, after preware, using EPR then reinstalling Mar 29 03:13:12 rebooting countless times Mar 29 03:13:27 nto to mention my google talk still wont work which was the reason for doctoring in the first plcae =[ Mar 29 03:13:33 you installed it with quick install? Mar 29 03:13:46 yep Mar 29 03:14:09 i dont know what to tell you Mar 29 03:14:16 =\ Mar 29 03:14:21 sorry :/ Mar 29 03:14:26 well any help with google talk not connection? Mar 29 03:14:31 connecting* Mar 29 03:15:15 thoguht it was the facebook patch Mar 29 03:15:22 uninstalled it to no avail Mar 29 03:15:34 tried deleting all my IMa ccounts Mar 29 03:15:39 then re adding them Mar 29 03:15:50 i doctored to fix it, but it still wont connect Mar 29 03:16:08 i know less about gtalk then i do preware xD Mar 29 03:17:04 guess im going to try doctoring to 1.4 again Mar 29 03:17:14 i did it to 1.3.5.1 before Mar 29 03:17:54 i trust it's okay to format the disk when it's in USB mode, yes? Mar 29 03:22:06 maybe i'll just try the .exe installer =\ Mar 29 03:23:26 has it been updated for newer versions? Mar 29 03:23:59 god i hope so XD Mar 29 03:24:11 as far as formating the /media/internal partition with windows Mar 29 03:24:17 i dont know if it works Mar 29 03:25:17 eh, whatever, doesnt really need to be formatted i suppose, i'll jsut delete everything manually Mar 29 03:25:37 doctor doctor gimme the news Mar 29 03:30:22 wtf, windows just disconnected my pre when i was doctoring it Mar 29 03:30:23 =_=;; Mar 29 03:30:30 damn thing just doesnt want to cooperate today Mar 29 03:52:03 rwhitby, what were the valid feed name characters? Mar 29 03:52:19 [a-zA-Z-_] ? Mar 29 03:52:24 oh, and 0-9 Mar 29 04:16:13 oil: [a-zA-Z0-9-] Mar 29 04:16:33 yeah, i looked in the logs for "a-z" xD Mar 29 04:16:39 why no _? Mar 29 04:16:52 is there anything else we want to keep out of the "name" field Mar 29 04:16:57 like "-disabled" or something Mar 29 04:17:10 no, any string of that form is fine Mar 29 04:17:23 the '_' is used to separate name and version in ipkg files, so we prefer not to use it Mar 29 04:17:29 a '_' would technically work Mar 29 04:17:47 ok, ill just keep it at that Mar 29 04:17:49 without _ Mar 29 04:17:55 cool Mar 29 04:18:06 put in that warning message too Mar 29 04:18:10 im not so sure about it though Mar 29 04:18:31 because it seems like we take responsibility for everything as long as they dont install a custom feed Mar 29 04:18:47 when we really arent Mar 29 04:18:51 well, for the most part Mar 29 04:19:23 i put in that message you typed out earlier Mar 29 04:19:24 "By adding a custom feed, you take full responsibility for any and all potential outcomes that may occur as a result of doing so, including (but not limited to): loss of warranty, loss of all data, loss of all privacy, security vulnerabilities and device damage." Mar 29 04:19:43 is that how we want to word it Mar 29 04:20:05 oil: just because we disclaim responsibility in one area does not mean we take responsibility in another :-) Mar 29 04:20:19 oil: have a read of the description for Save/Restore in Preware Mar 29 04:20:33 ok, ill just leave that in' Mar 29 04:20:40 yeah, that's good as-is. Mar 29 04:20:42 and put a cancel button Mar 29 04:20:47 i just noticed there was only an ok button Mar 29 04:20:47 lol Mar 29 04:20:48 perfect Mar 29 04:21:06 oil: BTW, take a look at Save/Restore - I spruced up the UI over the weekend Mar 29 04:21:25 yeah, i was going to check it out Mar 29 04:21:30 I'd like to get any tweaks that you think it should have in there before I move out of testing feed Mar 29 04:21:46 did you post newer screenshots? Mar 29 04:21:52 or should i install it in the emulator Mar 29 04:21:56 yep, http://bit.lt/saverestore Mar 29 04:22:01 it works well in the emulator Mar 29 04:22:07 http://bit.ly/saverestore Mar 29 04:23:21 it looks much better without the palm-group Mar 29 04:23:32 oil: and it supports the Notes app, just for you :) Mar 29 04:23:37 lol Mar 29 04:23:49 so notes aren't in the profile save? Mar 29 04:24:10 I don't believe so, but I might be wrong Mar 29 04:28:37 oil: tell me what you think of the toggles being revealed and turned off as the save progresses ... Mar 29 04:30:54 so when you click save or restore it disables all the toggles and hides them as it does it? Mar 29 04:35:07 is there any word on ogg support for the pre? I have seen some mention of some testing stuff, but nothing I have found actual code, patches, or anthnig like that on Mar 29 04:36:25 oil: it sets them from ON to OFF as it does each one Mar 29 04:36:47 and focuses on each one as it does it, so you can see the success or error message Mar 29 04:36:58 so its like staging what you want to save or restore Mar 29 04:37:15 if it fails on a save, does it keep it set to on for a later attempt? Mar 29 04:37:19 yes Mar 29 04:37:44 why not disable them as well so the user can't muck with them as its doing its thing? Mar 29 04:38:13 cause I didn't even know you could do that? ;-) Mar 29 04:38:46 the screen moves around so much automatically as it focuses on each one that you'd be scared to touch it Mar 29 04:38:52 .mojo.disable()? Mar 29 04:38:55 idk Mar 29 04:38:58 i know it can be disabled Mar 29 04:39:05 i.e. it's pretty obvious that it's doing stuff and you shouldn't touch it Mar 29 04:39:22 thats like when its updating and says not to remove the battery Mar 29 04:39:28 but dbsooner did it just to see what would happen Mar 29 04:39:33 lol Mar 29 04:39:49 does the command menu change? Mar 29 04:40:12 like when you click "save selected" does that switch to a cancel button while its working? Mar 29 04:40:26 no - these are all the types of things that I'm hoping you will bring. Mar 29 04:41:04 lol Mar 29 04:41:23 if the subscription to the service is caceled does the service cancel its action? Mar 29 04:41:41 cause if that doesnt work there is no reason to change it to a cancel button Mar 29 04:42:10 and im just thinking out loud for it Mar 29 04:42:18 not saying anything i say should or needs to be included Mar 29 04:42:36 like changing the select none button to just a "select" button Mar 29 04:42:54 that pops up a list of all, none, and invert Mar 29 04:44:42 what's good Mar 29 04:44:55 and eventually you may want to think about categories Mar 29 04:45:20 and how it should work with that Mar 29 04:47:06 is haeffb here? Mar 29 04:47:20 just wanna say thanks a million for agenda! Mar 29 04:47:27 ~seen haeffb Mar 29 04:47:38 oh, infobot is mia Mar 29 04:48:34 oh well.. Mar 29 04:49:13 rwhitby, what responses does addConfig make besides completed? Mar 29 04:49:15 this is what i've been looking for with the calendar. should have been included by palm as a view in calendar Mar 29 04:49:50 This messenging conversation in new cards patch really hurts the usability of the app Mar 29 04:51:06 question - do you guys know: is setTimeout truly an asynchronus operation or does a function calling itself recursively spawn child processes to infinite recursion? Mar 29 04:51:24 just wondering if this could become a memory leak in my app Mar 29 04:52:06 not sure how webkit implements it Mar 29 04:53:31 chrisa, yeah, i never see switching from contact to contact in that list as the slow part of txting or aim on the pre Mar 29 04:53:39 the slow part is typing a reply Mar 29 04:53:40 lol Mar 29 04:54:46 oil: what happened to me last night is I left gtalk logged in, phone alerts me at 6am when someone messages me Mar 29 04:55:02 lol Mar 29 04:55:03 To log off I had to close all conversation cards then start the messenging app again to get to the main ui Mar 29 04:55:23 what did simply launching the app again with the cards open do? Mar 29 04:55:30 just activate one of the already open cards? Mar 29 04:55:34 It just brings one of the conversations forward Mar 29 04:55:34 yes Mar 29 04:55:45 yeah, thats a bad implementation Mar 29 04:55:53 in wirc we have multiple cards per channel Mar 29 04:55:59 and you can toss the server list Mar 29 04:56:05 oil: there is a mojo loop which calls the service once for each script, so if the mojo loop stops, then no further scripts get run Mar 29 04:56:07 but relaunching the app will always bring up the server list Mar 29 04:56:19 fuse looks surprisingly easy to use Mar 29 04:56:46 so you could stop mojo frmo caling more at any time Mar 29 04:58:01 oil: for addConfig, you get completed or failed Mar 29 04:58:09 and thats it? Mar 29 04:58:12 yep Mar 29 04:58:38 oil: and yes, a cancel in the command button for saverestore would be good Mar 29 05:08:18 missed any response you guys may have given Mar 29 05:08:38 wirc causes luna restarts if the screen goes to sleep Mar 29 05:09:00 jdforsythe: that's a 1.4 bug, it happens with lots of different apps Mar 29 05:09:08 people have reported it happening with the app catalog app Mar 29 05:09:29 people who have *never* used homebrew have reportedit Mar 29 05:09:37 yes same here Mar 29 05:09:48 just happens in that situation every time Mar 29 05:10:12 if you have a 100% repeatable use case, then you need to contact Palm, cause they need one. Mar 29 05:10:24 I haven't been able to get a 100% repeatable case yet. Mar 29 05:10:30 even on rc1 Mar 29 05:10:52 i've emailed chuq about it Mar 29 05:12:05 fyi terminal causes luna restarts when trying to open it on rc1. never tried it on previous versions Mar 29 05:12:47 terminal is broken on any 1.4 Mar 29 05:12:53 ohok Mar 29 05:14:01 know of any good ways of editing my app on-device? want to be able to code on my phone while at work Mar 29 05:14:34 if I could get nano in terminal that would rock. or a gedit mojo app :) Mar 29 05:17:07 jdforsythe: we have XTerm in the testing feed Mar 29 05:17:43 ok i'll have to check it out. thanks Mar 29 05:19:54 jdforsythe: but it's in early alpha Mar 29 05:20:36 either way, i'm sure you could use another bug finder Mar 29 06:11:16 Hi all, quick question: In USB Passthrough Control, what are the default settings for everything? I managed to screw something up, so I'm trying to get it restored to stock, but don't know what stock is. :x Mar 29 06:26:24 Hm. Or maybe that's not my problem at all. Mar 29 06:27:52 Unable to novaterm in even with DevMode on, and unable to access in disk mode? Any ideas? Mar 29 06:28:46 If anyone is even awake. Mar 29 07:34:23 burrp Mar 29 08:56:49 Hey hi,, Can anyone give me some code snippet for accessing the help option of applicaton menu..?? Mar 29 10:26:19 off Mar 29 13:20:31 Has anyone tried to develop an app launcher manager to make it easier to manage launcher pages? Mar 29 14:25:15 sup all can someone point me in the right direction to get my theter Mar 29 14:25:53 >--- Mar 29 14:26:14 lol what's that ?

Mar 29 14:26:52 I'm fairly certain google would give you the answer Mar 29 14:27:01 in less time than it took to write teh question >.> Mar 29 14:27:37 no puter right now Mar 29 14:27:57 so I came here to ask than bookmark the link Mar 29 14:28:17 your phone doesn't have google? >.> Mar 29 14:28:40 nope Mar 29 14:28:50 it has wirc but no google Mar 29 14:28:52 I question that Mar 29 14:30:47 VincentLaw: funny guy you r Mar 29 14:31:13 mostly because I'd have to google to answer your question, so you might as well google it yourself Mar 29 14:31:13 >.> Mar 29 14:31:37 I got you Mar 29 14:32:45 was trying to get more than one device to work do you have any clue on that Mar 29 14:36:15 anyone Mar 29 14:41:16 morning all Mar 29 14:41:24 I'm feeling roarish... Mar 29 14:41:40 awww nick in use Mar 29 14:45:52 is mobile still out for sprint or gone ? Mar 29 14:46:05 mobile hotspot that is Mar 29 14:48:02 nt4cats: do you have any clue on this ? Mar 29 14:51:34 DrFunk: as far as I know Sprint does not allow/support mobile hotspot. Mar 29 14:51:43 DrFunk: ... but I don't claim to be authoritative on that Mar 29 14:52:23 well I was wondering if the files are still out there the ipk's Mar 29 14:52:25 DrFunk: when the vz mobile hotspot came out I hacked it to get it to work on Sprint, but only for fun. I already have a Sprint MiFi for when I actually need to connect my laptop to the interwebs via EVDO Mar 29 14:52:50 mifi ? Mar 29 14:53:23 so nt4cats noway I can do more than one device with sprint right now than is that correct Mar 29 14:53:37 DrFunk: You really need to learn how to use Google ;) http://reviews.sprint.com/5611v2/115/mifi-2200-by-novatel-wireless-reviews/reviews.htm Mar 29 14:54:21 lol I did that was asking about morn than one device that's all Mar 29 14:54:33 DrFunk: Sprint sells devices and service plans that let you do that (e.g. the link I just pasted to you), but AFAIK Sprint does not "allow" (by poilcy) you to use your Pre as a WiFi/EVDO bridge Mar 29 14:56:49 DrFunk: the MiFi lets you connect multiple devices ... I've never used more than 2 with it, but I think it goes up to at least 5 Mar 29 14:57:08 I no was just looking for the files did not see them so wanted to no if they were still out there Mar 29 14:57:26 * nt4cats shrugs in the general direction of DrFunk Mar 29 14:57:27 MiFi lololol Mar 29 14:57:46 * nt4cats wonders why Puffy is laughing at me Mar 29 14:58:14 PuffTheMagic_: can you tell me if the files are still out there ? Mar 29 14:58:23 what files Mar 29 14:58:47 the ipk's for hotspot Mar 29 14:59:14 I looked in testing feeds didn't see them Mar 29 15:00:27 why would they be there? Mar 29 15:01:06 bc that's were the fourms said they would be Mar 29 15:01:13 lol Mar 29 15:01:53 DrFunk: the hotspot app is palm stuff we cant host that Mar 29 15:02:12 palm/vz Mar 29 15:02:33 There was a tweet over the weekend about a "mode switcher beta". Can't find a reference to it on webos-internals.org ... I guess I should check the pre-release feeds Mar 29 15:02:40 ok Mar 29 15:03:33 too funny Mar 29 15:13:53 heyheyhey Mar 29 15:14:41 does anyone have any info regarding google talk issues with 1.4??? Mar 29 15:14:57 i just did a partial erase, then reloaded my gtalk account Mar 29 15:14:59 it worked Mar 29 15:15:13 then while it was signing into AIM, it signed out of GTalk Mar 29 15:15:17 and now wont sign back in Mar 29 15:15:27 worked for a glorious 30 seconds =[ Mar 29 15:15:43 i've doctored twice in the last day Mar 29 15:15:53 done a partial erase Mar 29 15:16:09 erased my backup inbetween doctoring Mar 29 15:16:22 im at the end of my rope Mar 29 15:20:08 why is it that i seem to be the only one persuing a solution to this? Mar 29 15:20:18 i've heard of it happening to others, but no one fixes it Mar 29 15:21:37 * hucksy uses jabber Mar 29 15:21:39 only Mar 29 15:26:10 it's pretty much the chat that i use most Mar 29 15:26:20 and it's really grating on my nerves that i cant get it to work Mar 29 15:36:49 dammit i guess i'm just goign to have to live without gtalk Mar 29 15:36:57 hope 1.4.1 or 1.5 fixes it Mar 29 15:37:34 hello, I have a question Mar 29 15:39:18 i wonder when we get 1.4.1 Mar 29 15:41:19 en0x: I'm already running 2.7 -- 1.4.1 is sooo last week. Mar 29 15:42:19 nt4cats, ;d Mar 29 15:47:31 I am trying to use the Palm PDK to create a plugin callable from Javascript and I am running into an issue calling PDL_Init, I have included the header file and linked to the libpdl.dylib, am I missing something else? Mar 29 15:50:12 what's the error / issue you're encountering? Mar 29 15:50:54 en0x: 2.7 supports trans-dermal hyper-halitosis. It's awesome. Mar 29 15:51:12 nt4cats, for sure it is.. too bad it is in closed beta :P Mar 29 15:51:35 Rick_work: Are you asking me or someone else? Mar 29 15:51:41 en0x: they didn't get the multifaceted graviton flux working very well (yet) Mar 29 15:51:50 asking you. No one else seems to be talking about anything substantive. Mar 29 15:53:09 Rick_work: Ok, I am getting a compiler error, "_PDL_Init" references from _SDL_main in downloader.o Symbol(s) not found. Mar 29 15:54:27 Rick_work: I am doing this from XCode, am I missing something that you are aware of? Mar 29 15:55:16 nt4cats, that's why it's still in beta good I don';t have to test it when it will come out of beta i will be happy ;) Mar 29 15:55:19 Well, the answer has to be "yes you're missing somthing" but I don't know WHAT you're missing. Mar 29 15:55:26 nt4cats, because most of the bugs will be fixed ;d Mar 29 15:55:58 Can you compile the sample? Mar 29 15:57:35 Yes, the red rotating graphics sample? Mar 29 15:58:19 ok good. then have you compared your includes to that? Mar 29 15:59:10 Rick_work: They don't include the PDL in the simple demo. Mar 29 15:59:43 good point. Mar 29 16:00:23 well, most of the guys here have been using the webos-internals dev kit instead of the PDK, so they may be avoiding jumping in for that reason. Mar 29 16:00:59 can you make calls into C from Javascript with the webos-internals dev kit? Mar 29 16:01:18 I am not familar with the webos-internals dev kit Mar 29 16:01:26 yes. but don't ask me how I'm not a binary guy at all. Mar 29 16:02:31 If chrisa is online and responds we might get an answer I don't think geist knows the pdk at all, he's a kernal guy, and I don't see any of the other palm guys on line except lemketron. Mar 29 16:02:53 Did you also post your question in the forums at developer.palm.com? Mar 29 16:25:08 developernotes: what do u mean calls into C? Mar 29 16:36:02 PuffTheMagic_: Javascript calling into C. Mar 29 16:36:25 that is what u said the first time Mar 29 16:36:25 elaborate Mar 29 16:36:34 r u trying to call arbitary functions from JS? Mar 29 16:36:46 cause that is never gonna happen Mar 29 16:37:20 you can make a C application that exposes dbus methods to JS Mar 29 16:37:32 which can do work and return a response Mar 29 16:38:02 PuffTheMagic_: Something like discussed in this forum post: http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?sid=925ae66b9658fa523b256175e1f7fbbe&lastaction=login&f=70&t=5780 Mar 29 16:38:41 yeah that can be done Mar 29 16:38:47 but that isnt exaclly calling a C function Mar 29 16:39:51 PuffTheMagic_: Sure, it is tunnelling it through the Mojo stuff. Mar 29 16:40:14 PuffTheMagic_: Have you done something like this? Mar 29 16:40:17 StarCraft 2 Beta added! Mar 29 16:40:18 Click the box image to download the beta client. Mar 29 16:40:19 YAY! Mar 29 16:40:58 developernotes: i use services for this not plugins Mar 29 16:40:59 but plugins work too Mar 29 16:40:59 thats how terminal plugin works Mar 29 16:41:20 developernotes: take a look at freetetherd or ipkgmgrsrv in the webos internals git repo Mar 29 16:41:23 for examples on C services Mar 29 16:41:34 and look at termplugin for a plugin example Mar 29 16:41:55 PuffTheMagic_: Ok, will look at those, thanks. Mar 29 16:45:19 lemketron: PING Mar 29 17:33:12 does anyone have a clue how the missing sync does work? how can it access (all) contact data? Mar 29 17:58:36 They got a dispensation from palm. Mar 29 17:58:50 [; Mar 29 17:59:47 Rick_work: narf Mar 29 18:01:44 just reverse engineer the databaes :D Mar 29 18:08:57 Adora has joined the overclockers Mar 29 18:10:49 :) Mar 29 18:10:56 she overclocked her "spare" pre Mar 29 18:11:14 naaarfff Mar 29 18:14:57 en0x: you must be mistaken. Girls don't use Pre's, they use Pixi's. I've seen the Verizon commercials to prove it (and, note, those girls have to be Moms, too). Mar 29 18:27:30 * jacques wonders what percentage of pre overclockers will accept responsibility for their actions. Mar 29 18:35:15 (time to get in trouble): @adora is not a girl. She's a grrrl. a geek grrlll.... Mar 29 18:35:38 hi Mar 29 18:36:02 is the aeres-IDE still in development? Mar 29 18:40:17 jacques: what exactly constitutes responsibility? As in openly admit to overclocking to Sprint when trying to replace the device if it burns out? Mar 29 18:40:40 or perspective carrier Mar 29 18:41:22 karotte_exee yes, ares is VERY MUCH still in development Mar 29 18:41:49 Rick_work: do you know what would be really funny? Mar 29 18:41:57 wht? Mar 29 18:42:22 Rick_work: if the aeres-IDE would be aviable for webOs xD Mar 29 18:42:39 nodnod, that would be funny, but the screen is just too small. Mar 29 18:42:49 and C ++ support xD Mar 29 18:42:56 aamof, I don't OWN a screen big enough for me to be totally happy in Ares. Mar 29 18:42:58 why not? Mar 29 18:43:20 c++ support exists now. That's what the PDK is Mar 29 18:43:38 hehe, i know that this wouldn't be realized. but a funny idear ;) Mar 29 18:43:50 C ++ with aeres? Mar 29 18:44:07 C++ with the PDK, then ares can call the plugin. Mar 29 18:44:29 ? what have i do to use C ++? Mar 29 18:44:38 1. download PDK, right? Mar 29 18:44:44 then? Mar 29 18:45:18 then write and compile your c++ funcitons in the PDK and load the resulting binary into ares and call it from the JS in ares. Mar 29 18:45:41 hm... Mar 29 18:45:51 kk Mar 29 18:46:16 is the PDK working on Windows? Mar 29 18:49:22 Rick_work: can i develop with VisualStudio2005 and PDK? (on Windows) Mar 29 18:49:37 yep Mar 29 18:49:58 cool Mar 29 18:50:11 but... i have only the express edition Mar 29 18:50:44 so, is there a plugin to made a GUI with drag and drop? Mar 29 18:50:52 omg Mar 29 18:50:58 get your self a linux env Mar 29 18:51:00 and arm toolchain Mar 29 18:51:03 and program! Mar 29 18:51:41 PuffTheMagic_: im windowsfanatic xD Mar 29 18:51:49 nodnod. karotte_exee go to www.webos-internals and read up on the WIDK instead. Really. Mar 29 18:52:14 karotte_exee: well u are not working o a linux device.... get a linux env to work in Mar 29 18:52:16 ok Mar 29 18:52:19 karotte_exee but you're not programming FOR windows, you're programming FOR linux, the phone runs linux. Deal. Or buy the rel IDE. Mar 29 18:52:36 but you can use eclipse on windows if you have to run a windows IDE. Mar 29 18:52:46 yeah, that i know Mar 29 18:53:04 i only want to program ON windows Mar 29 18:56:05 arg! 10000 B.C. is a really bad film! Mar 29 18:56:07 there are great vim ports to windows :) Mar 29 18:56:21 what is "vim"? Mar 29 18:56:28 hah Mar 29 18:57:13 vi improved Mar 29 18:57:13 :D Mar 29 18:57:34 it's the default linux programming editor for people who don't use emacs Mar 29 18:57:46 aha Mar 29 18:57:48 if u have to ask what vim is u probalby aren't oging to like it :) Mar 29 18:58:08 that's the gist of the haha Mar 29 18:58:18 hehe ... maby ;) Mar 29 18:59:11 arg! this is so complikated! Mar 29 18:59:12 seeing this convo really hurts Mar 29 18:59:33 hurts so good?d Mar 29 18:59:58 my english sucks :( Mar 29 19:00:05 geist: i have a question that might be more up your alley than anyone else around here Mar 29 19:00:12 sure Mar 29 19:01:19 geist: i built ecls for arm and when i run it, it segfaults, gdb dont give me much and strace shows that its comming from an illegal argument from an ioctl Mar 29 19:01:41 what im wondering is if this could be related to some TLS register issue on the arm? Mar 29 19:01:41 well, fix the ioctl Mar 29 19:01:50 hmm? Mar 29 19:02:05 what tls register issue? Mar 29 19:02:30 well armv7's actually have a real TLS register and on older arms its emulated Mar 29 19:02:37 and i know its on in the kernel Mar 29 19:02:59 but if ther rest of the userland is built with arm5 clfags Mar 29 19:03:02 is this on a palm product or some other cpu? Mar 29 19:03:08 all the palm cpus have TLS register Mar 29 19:03:10 this is on the pre Mar 29 19:03:15 yeah, has TLS Mar 29 19:03:26 but, it's emulated so that you dont care Mar 29 19:03:46 the emulation strategy in the linux kernel is you branch to 0xffffffc0 and it puts the tls in r0 Mar 29 19:04:01 which either results in a mov from the tls register or an actual syscall Mar 29 19:04:38 also to be precise some of the armv6s have TLS. most of them. including the pixi (arm1176) Mar 29 19:05:13 idk... based on my googling that was the only thing i could think that might cause this issue Mar 29 19:05:20 nope Mar 29 19:05:25 maybe you should debug the ioctl? Mar 29 19:05:57 idk which one Mar 29 19:06:01 or how Mar 29 19:06:09 i have 1.5 tricks Mar 29 19:06:13 gdb and strace Mar 29 19:06:27 bb Mar 29 19:06:35 how about putting a breakpoint on ioctl()? Mar 29 19:06:57 and/or poke around in the source to find where it's calling it, etc Mar 29 19:08:16 there are only a few ioctls in the code Mar 29 19:08:17 it seems Mar 29 19:08:23 so that route might not be too bad Mar 29 19:11:35 it has to be FIONREAD Mar 29 19:38:34 hi Mar 29 19:38:41 im back ;) Mar 29 19:38:55 i have a strange problem with my wifi Mar 29 19:39:39 if i try to connect to our home-wlan. then my palm get always a "ip-configurationerror" Mar 29 20:05:09 anyone know of ereader with DRM supporrrt for reading books from B&N? Mar 29 20:07:02 Vote early, vote often! http://blog.laptopmag.com/march-smart-phone-madness-game-11-blackberry-9700-vs-palm-pre-plus Mar 29 20:07:23 already did Mar 29 20:07:35 only hippies vote for the bb Mar 29 20:08:44 anyone want to further the openvpn development Mar 29 20:09:09 oc80z: what kind of help do you need? Mar 29 20:09:51 just want to add to the wiki Mar 29 20:10:28 hows http://gitorious.com/pre-openvpn going Mar 29 20:10:48 (dead) Mar 29 20:12:14 i like that HTC EVO Mar 29 20:12:27 i could use like a brick and throw through a window. Mar 29 20:12:34 Meh Mar 29 20:12:40 I would just use a real brick Mar 29 20:12:48 why? Mar 29 20:12:51 I keep an emergency brick in the car at all times Mar 29 20:13:00 well Mar 29 20:13:05 if you through the brick, you would have no brick Mar 29 20:13:10 because a brick can't be traced back? Mar 29 20:13:15 I have many bricks Mar 29 20:13:18 riiight Mar 29 20:13:20 I buy them in bulk Mar 29 20:13:26 from brick buildings Mar 29 20:13:26 and the HTC EVO is google-big-brother, they have all your infoz Mar 29 20:13:32 the HTC EVO does look pretty gorgeous. what size screen again? 4.3"? still doesn't look way bigger than an iPhone Mar 29 20:13:58 well, the EVO has a sn. Which would be tied to you if activated Mar 29 20:15:07 halfhalo_class: was it you that was also interested in ecl on the pre? Mar 29 20:15:48 Depends.... whats ecl.... Mar 29 20:15:59 and I'm interested in many things Mar 29 20:16:17 ok it wasnt you Mar 29 20:16:46 that doesn't explain to me what ecl stands for, since it sounds super familiar Mar 29 20:16:58 although not as cool as a phone that doubles as a taser Mar 29 20:17:12 embeddable common lisp Mar 29 20:17:16 we have enough battery life issues as it is. we don't need a taser :-P Mar 29 20:17:31 yeah, not me Mar 29 20:17:38 and EVERYTHING needs a taser Mar 29 20:17:41 even headphones Mar 29 20:17:51 stick THAT in your pipe and smoke it Mar 29 20:18:03 or don't, it will probly give you cancer Mar 29 20:19:21 i dont think its a battery issue Mar 29 20:19:33 i think its a 12V/USB radius issue. Mar 29 20:19:49 Get a big capacitor Mar 29 20:20:04 Plus a transformer Mar 29 20:20:14 or a couple of flux capacitors and call it a day Mar 29 20:20:19 ...or get a backup charger like i got. Mar 29 20:20:25 or an extra battery like i got Mar 29 20:20:41 I have a mugen in my pre with the stock palm as backup Mar 29 20:20:50 Haven't actually needed to swap em out Mar 29 20:21:30 I also carry around my kindles usb cord to plug it in if needed Mar 29 20:23:23 heh Mar 29 20:23:24 http://goo.gl/aa2u Mar 29 20:24:00 meh Mar 29 20:24:08 I'm never not near a usb port as it is Mar 29 20:24:11 so not a big deal Mar 29 20:24:18 ...its a portable usb charger. Mar 29 20:24:31 and if I AM, then im roaming with the pre so the battery lasts FOREVA Mar 29 20:24:56 you force it in roam, right? Mar 29 20:25:04 serioulsly, last time I was withought a charger it lasted a week on standby with voice only roam Mar 29 20:25:24 i believe the batt drains atleast 4% an hour when searching in null/roam Mar 29 20:25:37 and no, since during my daily schedule I only roam at home Mar 29 20:25:38 oh yeah? Mar 29 20:26:02 It was way up in the mountains camping where the only signal was verizon Mar 29 20:26:20 I just left my phone on in my tent, and after a week it was still on Mar 29 20:26:46 This was in august of last year with a stock pre battery as well Mar 29 20:27:10 It was also before I learned about free data-roaming Mar 29 20:27:35 have you contributed to the wiki at all? Mar 29 20:27:46 not really Mar 29 20:28:07 I shoulda/coulda/woulda, but no time as it is right now Mar 29 20:28:12 and no time for another weekish Mar 29 20:28:34 One of my day-job projects is going semi-live this friday Mar 29 20:29:13 i would like to rip-n-paste a server/client openvpn config to the wiki Mar 29 20:29:54 i had an rsync system set up too. Mar 29 20:29:58 I would like my pre to not yell at me when I tell it to connect to my schools wpa2 enterprise network Mar 29 20:30:17 self signed certificates? Mar 29 20:30:30 for exchange? Mar 29 20:30:43 that happens at tuffs' university Mar 29 20:30:53 but not here at harvard Mar 29 20:31:06 its using a thawte cert for server combined with eap and domain user for client, and pre is complaining about no valid client cert Mar 29 20:31:29 what is the error message Mar 29 20:31:40 lets write a patch for that real quick Mar 29 20:31:46 Heh Mar 29 20:32:01 I'm using iwconfig to try and find out why its breaking right now Mar 29 20:32:10 trying to remember the format Mar 29 20:32:13 what is breaking? Mar 29 20:32:33 you are trying to capture on eth0? Mar 29 20:32:53 no, I just want to know what linux is saying compared to mojo Mar 29 20:33:05 ah. Mar 29 20:33:08 well Mar 29 20:33:50 either or, we can grep the exclaimation/warning webos shouts. Mar 29 20:33:58 slight issue Mar 29 20:34:05 don't have a cert on my phone Mar 29 20:34:07 unless..... Mar 29 20:34:11 if else, we can just patch the back end if there is an actuall issue. Mar 29 20:34:35 yeah, its gonna be a retartedly simple fix Mar 29 20:35:03 ooooo Mar 29 20:35:07 have a copy in email Mar 29 20:35:59 erright Mar 29 20:36:38 Mojo says: "You need a security certificate to join this network. Contact your network administrator." Mar 29 20:37:25 ok Mar 29 20:37:46 i am behind a few steps here... Mar 29 20:38:31 basically, server cert is self signed, so pre want a client cert as well, which I don't have Mar 29 20:38:39 methinks is wpa_supplicant Mar 29 20:38:45 right Mar 29 20:39:05 doesn't help I left my laptop and usb cord at home today Mar 29 20:39:11 i need to extract webos1.4 Mar 29 20:39:24 hang on Mar 29 20:39:46 if else i think the image is on the notebook. Mar 29 20:39:59 Meh, can't do it today Mar 29 20:39:59 ..i think i got notepad++ on this Mar 29 20:40:08 I leave in 5 min to go home Mar 29 20:40:15 just noticed the time Mar 29 20:40:51 extracting Mar 29 20:41:54 worst case is I have to build wpa-supplicant myself Mar 29 20:42:32 which is a pain since I have no linux box running right now Mar 29 20:43:14 ill take a look Mar 29 20:43:48 i would like to replicated the exchange error i got @ the tuffs campus wifi. Mar 29 20:43:57 i never got it at harvard/mit Mar 29 20:44:11 I got that on the non encrypted wifi here before I signed in Mar 29 20:44:14 and the resolution was for me to reset the phone.. 1.3 i think. Mar 29 20:44:31 hmmph for owa email? Mar 29 20:44:40 i think it was owa, or ah, EAS i believe. Mar 29 20:44:41 It happened when http could connect, but be redirected, but not https/ssl Mar 29 20:44:47 for google apps Mar 29 20:45:10 and with that, bbiab, driving home Mar 29 20:45:20 thats a verification issue. Mar 29 20:45:56 thats a DNS redirect to an SSL authentication page Mar 29 20:46:35 none-the-less... we still cant invite contacts w/ calendar. Mar 29 20:46:48 i hope palm works with exchange more+ Mar 29 20:46:56 and google. Mar 29 21:03:32 very nice progress with saverestore all Mar 29 21:03:48 I love community projects. Come back later and it's still progressing :) Mar 29 21:08:44 hi Mar 29 21:11:48 hey Mar 29 21:13:09 ping rwhitby Mar 29 21:31:14 back Mar 29 21:31:18 like a heart attk Mar 29 22:23:39 uNiXpSyChO: 'allomarco Mar 29 22:23:49 yo zsoc Mar 29 22:24:25 uNiXpSyChO: whats shakin? Mar 29 22:25:04 zsoc: thought i would jump on to see what trouble I can get yself into. Mar 29 22:25:37 plenty of trouble to be had around here Mar 29 22:25:54 maybe palm will have to have another press release ;) Mar 29 22:26:28 LOL. boy. I think Chuq directed that Press anouncement directly at me? ;) Mar 29 22:29:25 hehe, well, corporate necessities :) responsibility to the shareholders, yada yada Mar 29 22:36:28 hi! how can I erase a cookie in my pre? Mar 29 22:38:55 morning Mar 29 22:39:04 mornin Mar 29 22:39:09 late morning for you no? Mar 29 22:47:33 internet problems on the network my IRC bouncer is connected to. statewide outage on that ISP. Mar 29 22:48:52 ouch Mar 29 22:50:51 uNiXpSyChO: hi Mar 29 22:56:11 rwhitby: hi Mar 29 22:57:28 uNiXpSyChO: what do you think about changing the low-end of the kernel patch freqs to 250MHz? what have your experiments shown? I know 125 has problems, right? Mar 29 22:59:56 rwhitby: from my testing some things like video studder and music pops. but that was using default ramp up. Mar 29 23:00:46 rwhitby: i cant remember in the released overclocked kernel if I changed the ramp up time, but that is something easily doable. Mar 29 23:01:48 uNiXpSyChO: I think what would be good is a kernel that has a low minimum (to maximize device life) but can ramp up effectively if an app or startup script resets the maximum higher Mar 29 23:02:21 whether that's feasible or not is another question :) Mar 29 23:03:01 rwhitby: in my test kernels I know I have this already set but I use a min of 600. but to test more I can use 250. Mar 29 23:03:45 rwhitby: any reason not to use 500 as a min? 250 is low and I have flash backs of my old Treo when I ran it slow like that. Mar 29 23:04:12 uNiXpSyChO: my only concern is a 600MHz minimum means that you're guaranteed to reduce lifetime from 100K hours to 44K hours. Mar 29 23:04:45 rwhitby: i'm sure within 44K hours that Pre would be upgraded :-) Mar 29 23:04:56 uNiXpSyChO: it's thought of differently in other countries Mar 29 23:05:04 uNiXpSyChO: we don't care because we don't pay 500 dollars for our devices Mar 29 23:05:05 44,000 hours is ONLY 5 years! Mar 29 23:05:07 that's not very long! Mar 29 23:05:14 I mean, we do in the long run, but not up front Mar 29 23:05:15 uNiXpSyChO: my last phone (Treo650) was used for 6 years Mar 29 23:05:15 >.> Mar 29 23:05:50 zsoc: you guys dont pay for phones? Mar 29 23:05:56 rwhitby: just so you know the state of our country, many sprint users will get a full upgrade (activated/subsidized cost of the phone) after having it only 12 months. Mar 29 23:05:58 uNiXpSyChO: not much? Mar 29 23:06:00 also, it's not like all pres will die as soon as they hit 44k hours anyway :/ Mar 29 23:06:28 zsoc: yeah, I know. Mar 29 23:06:54 rwhitby: you should start a program. "buy back" american owned pre's for cheap :D Mar 29 23:06:55 frankly I have no problem with an average 5 year expectency Mar 29 23:07:48 I will test starting at 250 and see how that goes with a faster ramp up... maybe even try a different govenor than what i usually use; conservative. Mar 29 23:07:52 zsoc: there's one already. it's called ebay :) Mar 29 23:07:58 ha Mar 29 23:08:06 gazelle as well Mar 29 23:08:14 uNiXpSyChO: is Palm actually using scaling, or are they doing clock stopping stuff? Mar 29 23:08:18 I think gazelle probably gives more money than you'd get on ebay :/ Mar 29 23:08:21 rwhitby: many people trade their devices back to their cellular shops. they get much less money but it's no hassle Mar 29 23:08:51 rwhitby: Palm isnt using scaling. they use userspace. but they include ondemand for some reason. Mar 29 23:09:34 uNiXpSyChO: so what does the minimum set in the kernel change if palm is using userspace? does it just clamp the minimum they can use? Mar 29 23:10:32 rwhitby: you mean for the stock Palm kernel? Mar 29 23:11:32 uNiXpSyChO: yeah Mar 29 23:12:04 uNiXpSyChO: what does the stock kernel have the minimum set to ? Mar 29 23:12:21 rwhitby: 500 Mar 29 23:12:47 rwhitby: and it doesnt reference 550 at all, except during boot before LunaSysMgr starts. Mar 29 23:12:50 oh, ok. we should do the same then in my opinion. Mar 29 23:13:50 rwhitby: i agree. 500 is what Palm likes and seems to do well in most cases. running at 250 will be good while idle but might defeat the purpose if it has o ramp up quickly. but i'll still test it anyway. Mar 29 23:14:31 uNiXpSyChO: for some reason I though that palm did 125 min, but I was completely mistaken. no need to do 250 on my account. 500 is perfect. Mar 29 23:15:10 uNiXpSyChO: what sets the default speed before LunaSysMgr starts? Mar 29 23:15:40 rwhitby: the kernel default OPP selection. Mar 29 23:16:33 can someone help me i've been tryint to download the webos installer on my mac bock 32bit and I can get it to work can any one help Mar 29 23:20:01 did't think it would be this hard to figure out but I really am stuck....it the program only made to work proper on a windows Mar 29 23:44:56 is it possible to still get mobilehotspot? Mar 29 23:45:19 probably Mar 29 23:46:05 lol, can i read the logs of these chats anywhere? Mar 29 23:47:18 http://logs.nslu2-linux.org/livelogs/webos-internals/ Mar 29 23:47:36 sweet thx Mar 29 23:51:03 Gazelle is actually decent. Slightly better than Cexchange even Mar 29 23:59:38 My palm pre isn't working Mar 29 23:59:50 that sounds terrible Mar 30 00:00:12 My preware always says error when I try to open it Mar 30 00:00:37 Can anyone help me Mar 30 00:00:42 Please Mar 30 00:00:46 Please Mar 30 00:00:49 Please Mar 30 00:01:17 that was kind of a ridiculous one-sided conversation Mar 30 00:02:13 Quick! Someone answer this in 15 seconds flat! Mar 30 00:02:15 now now now! Mar 30 00:02:24 too late.. sorry Mar 30 00:07:20 i guess instant gratification just isn't quick enough nowadays Mar 30 00:08:51 heh Mar 30 00:10:46 how do I get preware to work on a 32-bit mac or is it on ly for newer computers Mar 30 00:11:12 None of this question makes any sense to me Mar 30 00:11:28 Do you mean quickinstall by chance? Mar 30 00:11:31 i've been trying to install it and it just wont work Mar 30 00:11:47 yeah Mar 30 00:12:25 32-bit mac? usually the distinction is ppc versus intel .. but .. 32-bit ? Mar 30 00:13:20 well as you can see I dont know much bout all that..sorry if I offend Mar 30 00:14:06 no offense taken .. just confused :( Mar 30 00:15:15 yeah I followed thr instructions but then it says to check to see if I have the latest version of java and because my computer is older I cant get the of java thats needed Mar 30 00:15:42 What OS is installed? Mar 30 00:16:11 mac os x verson 10.5.8 Mar 30 00:18:13 never had any problem doing anything as long as i had instructions but this is giving me som much of a headache.....guess I should just try to do it on my pc Mar 30 00:19:48 There is a version of MacOS that only supports java 1.5 (and not 1.6) Mar 30 00:19:51 you may have that version Mar 30 00:20:33 thats the wone I want .... Mar 30 00:21:16 where can I find that? Mar 30 00:21:26 no, you probably have that, which is the problem Mar 30 00:21:33 wosqi requires java 1.6 i believe Mar 30 00:22:41 okay my mac will not let me download java 1.6 ... so what I'm think is I need a version that support 1.5 Mar 30 00:22:50 Such a thing does not exist. Mar 30 00:22:55 I think I just explained that. Mar 30 00:23:40 matik: so either, run a virtual box with windows or linux (which seems slightly out of your knowledge-realm), try to see if there's a way to novacom or ssh into your pre from your version of MacOS (which i'm unsure of), or just do it on your PC :p Mar 30 00:24:51 lMAO yeah thats way out of my realm.... Mar 30 00:25:10 where can I find info on who to do that? Mar 30 00:25:14 matik: not trying to be offensive, but it wouldn't be helpful for me to suggest options that would just frustrate you Mar 30 00:25:29 matik: I would ask to see if someone in here is familiar with novacom on macOS Mar 30 00:25:35 matik: use your pc! Mar 30 00:25:51 cool thankks anyway I guess I just have to try to het it to work on my pc Mar 30 00:26:00 matik: but in theory, it would involve going to palms site to download the developer SDK, and using 'novaterm' to open up a terminal. then copying and pasting 3 lines off the wiki to install preware Mar 30 00:26:59 i actually was just reading that but i was nervous i would do something and destroy my mac..... Mar 30 00:27:15 i thanks all of yous for ya help Mar 30 00:30:09 i assume it will be alot easier on a pc right? Mar 30 00:30:14 yes Mar 30 01:10:38 jhojho: hi Mar 30 01:10:46 ello Mar 30 01:11:31 jhojho: uNiXpSyChO is here :) Mar 30 01:11:44 ohokay Mar 30 01:12:12 hello Mar 30 01:12:53 ello Mar 30 01:12:59 jhojho: we were discussing setting the min freq to 500 earlier Mar 30 01:13:06 so where did we leave the patch discussion? Mar 30 01:13:07 so if I have issues with my phone not recieving calls and not getting text messages... should I call palm or sprint? Mar 30 01:13:22 i usually have to reboot the phone to get it working again Mar 30 01:13:36 Doc_exe: see if restarting java fixes it Mar 30 01:13:46 I think in the last msg I said, there could be 2 options. one leaving the min freq stock which is 125mhz Mar 30 01:13:46 what is the best way to do that? Mar 30 01:14:02 jhojho: check the logs for about 2 hours ago Mar 30 01:14:21 if restarting java fixes it... does that let me know what is wrong? :) Mar 30 01:14:29 cause it has been happening alot lately Mar 30 01:14:32 Doc_exe: open preware, open app menu, select luna manager, select java restart Mar 30 01:14:33 jhojho: http://logs.nslu2-linux.org/livelogs/webos-internals.txt Mar 29 22:57:28 Mar 30 01:14:33 ok Mar 30 01:15:05 Doc_exe: not really, but it will fix the problem quicker, lol Mar 30 01:15:12 ok :) Mar 30 01:15:26 i am going to make some calls tomorrow to see about fixing it Mar 30 01:15:31 it is getting annoying Mar 30 01:15:52 i can never tell when it's not working... just don't get phone calls and txts... which I don't get alot of in the first place Mar 30 01:16:01 catching up now Mar 30 01:16:01 Doc_exe: try a doctor? Mar 30 01:16:18 not recently Mar 30 01:16:40 i guess i could do that tomororw at work Mar 30 01:16:44 rwhitby: if you read at the end of http://git.webos-internals.org/?p=kernels/patches.git;a=blob;f=overclocking/overclock-patch Mar 30 01:16:55 Doc_exe: its worth a shot. if you replace your phone you have to redo stuff anyways Mar 30 01:17:08 and uNiXpSyChO too =) Mar 30 01:17:32 jhojho, uNiXpSyChO: let's use the new kernel patches repo to converge on a common open patch that we can use on the autobuilder for Gen 2 Overclocking packages Mar 30 01:17:35 the min_arm_freq is set to 125 and the min_vdd1_opp is set to opp1 Mar 30 01:17:46 thanks zsoc Mar 30 01:18:13 jhojho, uNiXpSyChO: and we can use this channel for rational, non-emotional technical discussion about the best options :-) unlike the forums. Mar 30 01:18:28 =) Mar 30 01:18:37 LOL Mar 30 01:18:49 so the lines in question are 312 to 334 Mar 30 01:19:07 uNiXpSyChO: also, saw your statements re conservative. vs another governor. Mar 30 01:19:36 the palm kernel is fairly old and there have been updates to the ondemand governor since. Mar 30 01:19:48 that are supposedly to make it less aggressive. Mar 30 01:20:04 jhojho: those statement were for scaling and which governor will provide fast ramp up or more battery saving and slower ramp up. Mar 30 01:20:28 however, trying to tackle moving to a new kernel rev is probably a bit much right now Mar 30 01:20:37 I think using the conservative governor is a good idea for now Mar 30 01:20:45 IMO ondemand suits more for desktop CPUs than an embedded SoC Mar 30 01:20:55 once we get a good build out, we can revisit Mar 30 01:21:29 I chose conservative gov just for the somewhat better battery savings it has although I tweak it in my beta kernels to ramp up faster Mar 30 01:22:35 moving to a newer kernel rev might not work with Palm's propietary kernel mods Mar 30 01:22:42 and I still have not had a chance to connect with geist to see if he has any follow up about releasing some patches that allow smartreflex + governor to work Mar 30 01:23:01 which btw an engineer from TI has working but has not released patches Mar 30 01:23:47 geist did say (not holding him to this as it's not palm official) that they are considering moving to a newer kernel at some point but it's all a priority issue Mar 30 01:23:50 smartrefex will take some work as you would have to change how Palm does power domains Mar 30 01:24:22 point is i think the work is done just not released Mar 30 01:25:36 in any case, I guees we should determine if we want to set the min freq to exactly as palm has it or to 500? Mar 30 01:26:03 fwiw, I've been using 250mhz as a lower bound for months and it's worked fine for me Mar 30 01:26:08 I was thinking 500 because it never hits 125 even during boot Mar 30 01:26:32 do video and music playback studder at 250? thats what i've seen Mar 30 01:26:54 i've been using clipcarl's setup Mar 30 01:27:05 so I run at 500/600 when the lcd is on Mar 30 01:27:16 I just run at 250 with the screen off and it has been fine Mar 30 01:27:22 never a stutter with audio Mar 30 01:27:57 oh, yes if it scales down when lcd is off that would make sense Mar 30 01:28:19 scaling when lcd is on has some bad effects on video Mar 30 01:28:29 125mhz is too low for what webos has to do. Mar 30 01:28:36 rwhitby: are the 720/800mhz patches being considered for inclusion in preware? because I can greatly increase the fidelity of my app dependent on cpu freq (ie, check /proc/cpuinfo and give more options for maximum bitrate depending) Mar 30 01:28:54 uNiXpSyChO: scaling from 125/250 or scaling in general for video? Mar 30 01:29:15 zsoc: in a separate feed Mar 30 01:29:35 jhojho: scaling from 125/250, i see video is jerky and chops. and sometimes audio. Mar 30 01:30:10 zsoc: we've set up a "hardware-patches" custom feed, and all this stuff will go in there. Mar 30 01:30:20 ssssh everyone =) Mar 30 01:30:37 lol Mar 30 01:31:02 zsoc: you should really check the /sys/..../cpucur_freq Mar 30 01:31:24 uNiXpSyChO: I guess we could try clamping at 500 as the min Mar 30 01:31:41 do you see the speed dip below 500 if you clamp at 500? Mar 30 01:32:04 rwhitby: but i assume turning it on would involve adding the feed manually... as in we're not including it in the default list, but off? Mar 30 01:32:11 jhojho: that's easy enough to do and safe. without having an aggrressive ramp up in the governor Mar 30 01:32:43 uNiXpSyChO: yes, i assumed that, i hadn't worked out the specifics :) but thank you for the advice Mar 30 01:33:10 jhojho: nope. speed varies between 500-800 (in overclocked case) Mar 30 01:33:42 I guess my general pref is to keep the bottom half completely stock but it makes sense to bump it up if you enable the governor Mar 30 01:34:02 OR Mar 30 01:34:54 fun fact: it looks like wpa_supplicant was built withough wpa_cli which would make my life alot easier Mar 30 01:35:20 we have 1) a 720 kernel with bottom clamped to 125 with governor set to userspace (this allows people to use other scripts/scaling methods as before) and 2) a 720/800 clamped to 500 with governor set to conservative Mar 30 01:36:42 this way we have kernels with increased upper bounds and kernels which are "optimized" so as to speak Mar 30 01:37:07 jhojho: uNiXpSyChO: What about a service that _creates_ a script on the fly, and applys it. A mojo front end to select which version of the script you want.. and a "generate/apply" button which seds the script properly for each option. Mar 30 01:37:17 that sounds fine. maybe also compiling in the rest of the governors to give app makers the freedom to choose. Mar 30 01:37:21 instead of having 8 different scripts with different min/max freqs and timings Mar 30 01:37:45 zsoc: i think someone has already made an app to do that Mar 30 01:37:46 zsoc: that would be an ideal front end. Mar 30 01:38:05 number1pete has something like that I think Mar 30 01:38:13 yes, thats him Mar 30 01:38:22 It would be more user friendly then a blind "install/uninstall" with no verification of the such happening properly, also. Mar 30 01:38:29 So work off that. Mar 30 01:38:37 just an idea Mar 30 01:38:38 the app design hurts my eyes but it seems to work for peeps =) Mar 30 01:38:43 I havent seen his app so i cant comment Mar 30 01:38:59 zsoc: well it would be more like the android version of SetCPU Mar 30 01:39:03 if you have seen that. Mar 30 01:39:26 SetCPU is excelent. i have it Mar 30 01:39:27 uNiXpSyChO: compiling additional governors is probably good Mar 30 01:39:45 giving people options is a good thing imo Mar 30 01:39:55 certainly does not hurt. Mar 30 01:40:00 i agree Mar 30 01:40:08 What options are there really? Min, Max, Userspace vs Conservative, boot at diff speed? Mar 30 01:40:16 but makes the kernel more bloated. Mar 30 01:40:28 i'm sure we can come up with a recommended setting but others can play with it Mar 30 01:40:32 and performance, powersave Mar 30 01:40:51 aren't the governors modular? I can't recall off the top of my head Mar 30 01:41:09 they can be, Palm build the 2 in Mar 30 01:41:15 s/build/builds/ Mar 30 01:41:16 uNiXpSyChO meant: they can be, Palm builds the 2 in Mar 30 01:42:05 well if they are modular, then in theory they should be able to autoload as needed Mar 30 01:42:14 correct Mar 30 01:42:28 so that should address the bloat thing. Mar 30 01:42:34 yep :-) Mar 30 01:44:00 soooo.... does my proposal sound okay with the 2 different variants of kernels? Mar 30 01:44:33 the rest can be (and should be) adjusted with script settings Mar 30 01:44:39 800mhz really makes webOS hot Mar 30 01:45:35 don't use it then =) Mar 30 01:45:35 maybe just have both be 800. then like you said 1 can have a bottom of 125 and the other have 500. Mar 30 01:46:02 jhojho: oh, no, I mean _hot_ as in awesome Mar 30 01:46:05 i think he means 800 makes webOS rule Mar 30 01:46:19 usable _all_ the time Mar 30 01:46:21 ah. failure to communicate =) Mar 30 01:46:25 instead of 65% of the time, heh Mar 30 01:47:02 uNiXpSyChO: sure. are the 720 capped using scripts or separate kernel builds? Mar 30 01:47:29 jhojho: they are capped by using LunaSysMgr binary edit. Mar 30 01:47:49 ah okay Mar 30 01:47:50 jhojho: both are the same kernel build, just different installer Mar 30 01:48:10 so then, we just need 2 kernels Mar 30 01:48:25 yep Mar 30 01:49:02 btw I think you had mentioned some char device shim in one of the forum posts, can you shed more light there? I wasnt really sure what you meant Mar 30 01:50:04 the is a device /dev/discsock or something. device 250. it seems useless but thats what PmNetConfigManager demanded so i create it and all is happy. without it the phone will melt. Mar 30 01:54:07 melt as in PmNetConfigManager waking up all the time? Mar 30 01:54:22 yep. it keeps restarting Mar 30 01:54:45 that's odd that that has not come up in regular kernels Mar 30 01:55:20 it is new in webos 1.4. Palm left it out of the source for some reason. Mar 30 01:56:43 hmm Mar 30 01:57:38 okay. gtg. back in a bit but I think the 2 kernel approach sounds good Mar 30 01:57:58 later Mar 30 02:03:20 HAHAHA ! the show castle! they use Pre's! Mar 30 02:03:29 yup Mar 30 02:03:30 and in this one scene the lady's pre was on a touch stone Mar 30 02:03:33 and castle called her Mar 30 02:03:34 custom interface Mar 30 02:03:36 and they showed the phone Mar 30 02:03:41 AND THE PRE SAID CASTLE WAS CALLING Mar 30 02:03:44 and it was to high on the touchstone to work Mar 30 02:03:44 I EXPLODED Mar 30 02:03:52 AND SO DID SHE Mar 30 02:03:58 THE PRE SAID CASTLE WAS CALLING Mar 30 02:04:10 OMG Mar 30 02:04:14 LIKE, REALLY? Mar 30 02:04:21 THE PRE SAID CASTLE Mar 30 02:04:36 ok i'm done. Mar 30 02:04:38 I NEVER NEW THAT EVEN THOUGH I SAW IT LAST WEEK ON MONDAY ON ABC WHICH IS CHANNEL 7 HERE Mar 30 02:05:10 although that reminds me, gotta tell dvr to record Mar 30 02:05:12 haha Mar 30 02:05:19 it's not a very good show imo Mar 30 02:05:22 castle`: who the hell are yo Mar 30 02:05:23 u Mar 30 02:05:41 i think im having a halucination Mar 30 02:05:47 i'm from the show Mar 30 02:05:54 i came to get your # so i could call you Mar 30 02:05:57 Lies Mar 30 02:05:59 crap, definitely. Mar 30 02:06:12 normally my hallucinations don't involve IRC Mar 30 02:06:16 this is a little odd I'll be honest Mar 30 02:45:14 ok, time to release Save/Restore to Preware Mar 30 02:45:29 Does it support newsroom? Mar 30 02:45:29 yay Mar 30 02:45:49 * halfhalo_T400 really hates readding all his feeds in newsriin Mar 30 02:47:16 rwhitby: so... no messaging? Mar 30 02:48:16 ooh, I'm with halfhalo_T400 on that one Mar 30 02:48:58 zsoc: pardon? Mar 30 02:49:25 rwhitby: messaging restore still doesn't work? or it's fixed? Mar 30 02:49:41 oic, n/m Mar 30 02:49:46 zsoc: notes and messaging is save only Mar 30 02:49:53 got it Mar 30 02:50:04 will it eventually support restore? Mar 30 02:50:27 Tibfib: prolly once we figure out the sqlite magiks Mar 30 02:50:52 cool, jw if it was planned or not Mar 30 02:52:40 zsoc: I wouldn't hold my breath on that one **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Mar 30 02:59:57 2010
