**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Aug 31 02:59:57 2010 Aug 31 02:59:57 real men use a slide-rule Aug 31 02:59:59 either of you guys be able to help me? Aug 31 03:00:52 with? Aug 31 03:01:07 i dont know much about computers but i can try? Aug 31 03:02:20 well first off im tethering from my palm pre. Aug 31 03:02:48 I want to bridge or share the internet connection to another device. Aug 31 03:03:47 but every time i connect the ethernet cable from my router to the pc i lose the wireless connection for internet Aug 31 03:03:59 "brdge" and "share" are 2 different things Aug 31 03:04:13 yes i understand this Aug 31 03:04:39 but either way, if i try either method, as soon as i connect the ethernet cable to my pc i lose the wireless connectiong Aug 31 03:04:43 connection* Aug 31 03:06:43 what wireless driver... i know some OEM addon crap software will disable wireless if you plug your ethernet in. Aug 31 03:07:34 and i think the newer Sprint drivers refuses to work with wireless while using their broadband device and maybe even thering. Aug 31 03:08:52 well its a dell 1505 Aug 31 03:09:25 think it was the best wireless adapter from dell at the time of purchase for my laptop Aug 31 03:10:11 but the card has extra software to select device depending on usage from what i remember... like when the power cable is plugged in or not. Aug 31 03:10:30 i dont have my Dell laptop sitting in front of me so i cant check. Aug 31 03:11:00 u mean like if i were on battery it will kick down the signal strength? Aug 31 03:11:23 i can change that option in the power options in control panel Aug 31 03:11:25 yep... and if on battery it will disable the ethernet port unless you go way out of your way to tell it not to do that Aug 31 03:11:45 which it doesnt have an option for that but im on cord anyways Aug 31 03:11:49 but also some drivers will disable the other "NIC" when the ethernet plugs in Aug 31 03:12:10 for example the Sprint drivers will do this. Aug 31 03:13:04 what do you mean by sprint drivers? Aug 31 03:13:13 i dont believe i have installed any sprint drivers Aug 31 03:13:30 the Sprint broadband driver for 3G/4G cards and tethering to smartphones Aug 31 03:13:47 its not really Sprint but its OEM drivers Aug 31 03:13:57 I'm using "my tether" to tether internet to my pc Aug 31 03:14:07 which isnt a sprint thing its homebrew Aug 31 03:14:17 no, i meant the PC drivers Aug 31 03:14:25 right Aug 31 03:14:28 i knew that Aug 31 03:14:48 so my wireless card might be kicking off cuz there is a lan connection being made? Aug 31 03:14:56 any possible ways around this? Aug 31 03:15:06 install off brand drivers or something Aug 31 03:15:26 I should call dell and freak out ,i love doing that Aug 31 03:15:32 Dell is useless Aug 31 03:16:08 try checking for some service that is doing it. must be a setting somewhere. Aug 31 03:16:31 i never tethered with the Pre using Windoze so i dont really know. i've only tethered with old Treo's Aug 31 03:17:27 i would have a different laptop if it werent for the fact i had someone help me get it and they already had an account with them Aug 31 03:19:04 you should be using an HP laptop with a Pre ;-) Aug 31 03:19:30 hahaha Aug 31 03:19:32 ya right Aug 31 03:19:46 just cuz they own palm now doesnt mean their pc got any better Aug 31 03:19:47 lol Aug 31 03:20:02 i might buy one to get the free pixi but i would trash the pc Aug 31 03:20:03 hahaha Aug 31 03:21:36 install Linux and all your problems go away ;P Aug 31 03:21:46 i already have it installed Aug 31 03:21:51 ubuntu Aug 31 03:22:01 would that let me share the connection? Aug 31 03:22:14 * uNiXpSyChO falls in the floor Aug 31 03:23:12 of course. with a bit of typing. probably even a gui for doing that. i dont use ubuntu, i use Fedora. Aug 31 03:26:56 well there basically the same right? Aug 31 03:27:14 commands for linux are universal right? Aug 31 03:27:21 yah Aug 31 03:27:47 id being willing to run linux for this Aug 31 03:27:57 Im pretty sure i can get xlink kia for linux Aug 31 03:30:06 wakkawakkawakka Aug 31 03:36:38 need more lube dude? Aug 31 03:36:43 i got some Aug 31 03:36:46 lmao Aug 31 03:39:31 EWWWWWWWWW FEDORA Aug 31 03:42:29 ubuntu is for skr1pt k1dd1es Aug 31 03:42:42 lol Aug 31 03:42:56 i just have it cuz i use novaterm for my palm pre Aug 31 03:43:11 i like using it better than quickinstalls Aug 31 03:43:35 I hate yum. I really do Aug 31 03:43:56 yum is yummy Aug 31 03:44:23 yum? i have linux im not a casual user... lol Aug 31 03:45:45 uNiXpSyChO: I run Ubuntu every day at home... it is very easy to use and thus convienient for me for home use Aug 31 03:45:59 and this is coming from a full time, well paid, linux systems administrator Aug 31 03:46:13 ubuntu is simple, but that is one of the big draws for it Aug 31 03:46:17 Yup Aug 31 03:46:31 Thats why my home systems are mac and windows Aug 31 03:46:33 and Ubuntu server edition is pretty nice as well, I have several servers at work running it Aug 31 03:46:44 halfhalo: eww Aug 31 03:46:49 at work I deal with linux Aug 31 03:46:53 i've been using RedHat based systems for way too many years at work and at home. and i refused to use Windoze at work even tho it is mandatory....4 jobs. Aug 31 03:47:20 I have the only company laptop that is authorized to dual boot windows and linux Aug 31 03:47:21 lol Aug 31 03:47:40 I just ssh into everything Aug 31 03:47:59 i wont even do dual-boot. there's nothing i cant do in Linux in a Windoze enviro....with a bit of hacking. Aug 31 03:48:50 My laptop has windoze but i polluted it with cygwin and use CLI for everything. Aug 31 03:49:39 heh, my laptop has cygwin, but I mostly use my mini for everything not media/gaming/related Aug 31 03:53:36 ssh for the win Aug 31 04:08:57 I will say this: Linux has come a long way yet still, somehow, manages to make Wifi/Bluetooth suck :B Aug 31 04:14:22 wifi/bluetooth work ok on the pre Aug 31 04:14:24 and its linux :) Aug 31 04:14:33 lies Aug 31 04:14:35 its win ce Aug 31 04:14:54 thats the worst idea ever Aug 31 04:15:28 lies Aug 31 04:15:35 its an amazing idea Aug 31 04:21:39 oil: yeah, but they probably had a team of people working on getting one set of hardware working ;P Aug 31 04:22:30 * DougReeder waves hello Aug 31 04:23:53 * halfhalo still votes for win ce Aug 31 04:24:46 Is the screenstate governor a new kernel governor? Aug 31 04:24:57 oh, hey, I actuall have a linux lappytop Aug 31 04:25:34 I've been using Jolicloud, it's pretty nice Aug 31 04:25:53 ... Apart from the horrible bluetooth support and the fact that it can't connect to any WPA/WPA2 networks that is :I Aug 31 04:26:01 LoneStar: nvm: it just suddenly _STARTED_WORKING_ Aug 31 04:27:46 Linux docs talk about four kernel governors (performance, powesave, ondemand and conservative) and "the" userspace governor. Is the screenstate governor actually a userspace governor? Aug 31 04:36:28 no Aug 31 04:36:35 it's a custom one Aug 31 04:37:48 Written for webOS? Aug 31 04:38:33 yep Aug 31 04:38:52 you've read the description for the kernel package in Preware, right? Aug 31 04:39:26 I think so Aug 31 04:40:23 ok, _every_ single mini usb cord I have is broken apparently, save for this one I just found Aug 31 04:41:57 whoever decided that a "charging" usb cable should have D+ and D- shorted should get shot :( Aug 31 04:42:27 Ah, looks like I skimmed it at the time. Are the preware package descritions available through a web browser? Aug 31 04:43:20 rwhitby: if you have anything you want proofread/documented, let me know :o if you were serious about wanting documentation stuff Aug 31 04:44:08 DougReeder: the screenstate governor is a governor that was custom made for our custom kernels... allows the phone to run at one speed with the screen on and another with the screen off Aug 31 04:44:12 SineOt: latest thing we need is documentation and screenshots for the .ipk file association stuff in the Preware wiki page Aug 31 04:44:56 I'll try tackling that over the next few days between classes Aug 31 04:45:06 we always need more documentation Aug 31 04:45:16 im terrible at it Aug 31 04:45:54 I might also redo the PDF manual for ModeSwitcher because the screenshots in it make pretty much zero sense Aug 31 04:46:19 SineOt: you should liase with the person who is writing that before doing so Aug 31 04:47:24 I'll dig up the contact info then too Aug 31 04:55:51 * DougReeder waves goodnight Aug 31 04:57:09 we really need a good wiki page which shows people how to install the Palm SDK and a working novaterm on windows from which they can cut and paste output Aug 31 04:57:27 and how to run palm-install on windows to install Preware Aug 31 04:57:30 SineOt: ^^ Aug 31 04:58:02 lol... wikis.... :p Aug 31 04:58:07 working novaterm on windows is a bitch :p Aug 31 04:58:10 but I'll give it a shot Aug 31 04:58:30 cause all other windows command line options seem to stuff up the output Aug 31 04:58:53 Has anyone messed around with changing the vendor/product id for the mass storage controller? I'm curious whether something this simple might allow the xbox 360 to see the device. Aug 31 05:01:53 sure...if you build a custom kernel you can change the IDs Aug 31 05:02:58 haha funny i'm trying to install the SDK on my linuxmint machine (ubuntu lucid derived distro) Aug 31 05:04:14 They made a lot of changes in the 1.4.5 source tree, the id's aren't as easy to find. They used to have a composite directory with all the goods there. Aug 31 05:04:41 Yay, 1.4.5 for vzw pixi+ Aug 31 05:05:12 chandler: did 1.4.5 finally release for Verizon? Aug 31 05:05:36 only for the pixi plus right now Aug 31 05:05:44 http://www.precentral.net/webos-145-lands-verizon-pixi-plus-pre-att-users-standing Aug 31 05:05:59 changing the IDs are easier than you think. Aug 31 05:06:23 uNiXpSyChO: can you give me a hint in the right direction? Aug 31 05:06:31 .config Aug 31 05:08:09 weird that it landed for the Pixi+ and not the Pre+ Aug 31 05:09:43 that is weird Aug 31 05:11:17 hey, it's the one time that the pixi+ is faster at something than the pre+ Aug 31 05:11:50 a normally clocked pixi outperforms an overclocked pre on some benchmarks Aug 31 05:12:11 it has a better floating point implementation apparently Aug 31 05:14:50 I'll endeavor to make my jokes more accurate in the future. :-) Aug 31 05:15:17 hee Aug 31 05:15:29 yeah, 1.4.5 for me is old news by now ;p Aug 31 05:15:35 but at least it's starting to roll out on Verizon Aug 31 05:22:42 okay! SDK installed on linuxmint 9 64bit. Palm's guide worked perfect. Aug 31 05:27:57 now to install eclipse and setup Aug 31 05:34:01 poop had to reboot router Aug 31 05:50:25 damn getting eclipse is taking forever Aug 31 05:54:17 gonna look into the docs but does anyone know off hand if the palm emulator vm has any multitouch trickery? Aug 31 05:55:50 jamesklyne: officially, it doesn't. Aug 31 05:56:03 jamesklyne: erm, and that's all i know--AFAICT unofficially it doesn't either. Aug 31 05:56:05 thx Aug 31 05:56:29 thank "I'm feeling lucky"+"palm emulator multitouch" Aug 31 05:56:33 it did all the work :D Aug 31 05:57:33 yeah sorry, i'm in the middle of setting up eclipse. appreciate you google prowess though :) Aug 31 05:57:47 * dtzWill flexes his google-fu muscles Aug 31 06:01:03 linux is weird....

Aug 31 16:54:48 only if it's available in optware Aug 31 16:58:17 it seems to be available there, so you're in luck Aug 31 16:59:29 jdoelger: http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Optware Aug 31 17:14:30 bsiegel: thanks, now to see if I can make my pre into an eye-fi server!

Aug 31 19:16:48 and these are only the things that are specific to developers Aug 31 19:17:15 there's bound to be more stuff to be revealed Aug 31 19:21:31 Ooooo. Aug 31 19:21:37 _That_ is a very nice set of stuff. Aug 31 19:22:34 the stacks thing certainly suggests that they expect users to have lots and lots of cards open in the future Aug 31 19:23:03 * Mousey tries to upgrade the uberkernel in place Aug 31 19:35:38 * Mousey succeeds! Aug 31 19:35:44 * Mousey overclocks to 1GHz, gloats Aug 31 19:36:38 pfft 1GHz. Aug 31 19:44:16 Zzzzz... Aug 31 19:44:27 F104... 1.1GHz.... beeytach!

Aug 31 19:47:10 * uNiXpSyChO thinks of a way to stretch the MHz number to become faster than 1.11GHz Aug 31 19:47:18 1.111 Aug 31 19:47:34 1113000000 KHz Aug 31 19:47:39 1.337 Aug 31 19:47:45 thats my new target Aug 31 19:47:52 l337 Aug 31 19:48:05 an elite kernel Aug 31 19:49:15 poor PLL....making it work hard.

Aug 31 21:11:04 and if so, where can i grab that data to play around with it? Aug 31 21:11:54 Preware gets the information from the Palm RSS feeds. Aug 31 21:12:14 so that's cooked data then? Aug 31 21:13:02 presumably these: http://developer.palm.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1844 Aug 31 21:17:53 yep Aug 31 21:18:31 * cxreg blesses vim's "at" text-object support Aug 31 21:20:09 rwhitby: i floated a vastly superious scoring algorithm to chuq but i don't think he's passed it along yet ;) Aug 31 21:20:19 i wanted to try it out on the raw scoring data but we apparently haven't got it Aug 31 21:20:30 .oO(superious?)

Aug 31 23:27:57 probably not Aug 31 23:28:31 you might look to see if you can hack the music app, but i don't think it does the actual routing - i suspect it's done in native layers Aug 31 23:29:28 in particular, it's probably within the bt stack Sep 01 00:39:53 I take it a useable sip client won't be possible until the mic api is avail. (2.0) ? Sep 01 01:08:57 helo Sep 01 01:09:46 angry birds + 1.1ghz = 55°c Sep 01 01:10:30 on sprint pre Sep 01 01:18:44 You know, looking at those webOS 2.0 screenshots that everyone seems to keep posting... The gap at the bottom of the dock/quick launch is kind of really ugly. :s Sep 01 01:19:24 SineOt: first thing i noticed Sep 01 01:20:01 SineOt: yeah I hope that is a rough edge they smooth out Sep 01 01:20:39 I'm sure it is a rough edge, because there's really no reason to move it in the first place Sep 01 01:20:49 or some other fancy stuff that is not explained Sep 01 01:21:11 like magic Sep 01 01:21:17 even then what kind of fancy stuff requires moving the quick launch up like 8 pixels with a rough edge? :p Sep 01 01:21:27 unicorns Sep 01 01:21:47 and rainbows Sep 01 01:21:50 it's now horn friendly Sep 01 01:22:19 lol Sep 01 01:22:19 lol Sep 01 01:25:34 magic Sep 01 01:26:15 the gap is where the rainbows and lasers come out Sep 01 01:26:53 and puppies Sep 01 01:27:01 yup Sep 01 01:28:35 no kittens?

Sep 01 01:43:37 unknown unknowns Sep 01 01:44:13 mysterious mysteriouses :Q Sep 01 01:44:51 punzada: its stored in that 8px buffer on the bottom Sep 01 01:45:12 xD Sep 01 01:45:14 punzada: safe to say it's text, but not so plain. Sep 01 01:45:23 where the closed captioning info is encoded Sep 01 01:45:24 oil: lol Sep 01 01:45:46 I'd bet it's stored in the database using the standard Mojo.Depot APIs Sep 01 01:46:34 string theory suggests that matter doesn't exist unless its observed Sep 01 01:46:54 therefore the text only exists when its on the screen Sep 01 01:47:04 lol Sep 01 01:47:09 lol Sep 01 01:47:10 does that mean that you don't exist, raeb? Sep 01 01:47:32 no, he's in the nicklist Sep 01 01:47:36 if he ever /quits though Sep 01 01:47:42 *poof* Sep 01 01:48:08 hmm banhammer seems pretty powerful now doesn't it Sep 01 01:48:27 haha Sep 01 01:48:59 oil: but I can't see the nicklist ? nonexistance Sep 01 01:49:08 * oil can though Sep 01 01:49:32 oil can Sep 01 01:49:43 every shop needs one Sep 01 01:49:43 a nonexisting nonexistant telling me that another doesn't exist? ;o HOW DEEP DOES THIS RABBIT HOLE GO Sep 01 01:51:20 punzada: save/restore saves memos as html for you Sep 01 01:52:04 oh that reminds me Sep 01 01:52:23 rwhitby: do some applications need to be launched prior to save/restore being able to restore to them?
