**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Jul 08 02:59:58 2011 Jul 08 03:00:52 are you supposed to edit a makefile?...or rather...should...you edit a makefile for meta doctor Jul 08 03:01:53 rwhitby: thank you btw... Jul 08 03:02:55 RavenIII: depends what you want to do. Most things can be specified on the command line. Jul 08 03:03:19 gotcha...I'm not THAT good with the cmd Jul 08 03:03:43 you'll need to learn if you want to use meta-doctor Jul 08 03:04:34 That came out wrong...I'm not a total newbie...but I'm not as advanced as any of you guys... Jul 08 03:05:19 Damn it man...this thing isn't charging... Jul 08 03:23:31 Do I want to change my partitions? Jul 08 03:23:46 Var Swap and....ext3? Jul 08 03:25:24 I say max them out to 64GB each. Jul 08 03:26:01 ok Jul 08 03:27:26 wait, what are you maxing out? Jul 08 03:28:03 the var, swap, and ext3fs Jul 08 03:28:06 in the make file Jul 08 03:28:11 I put them to 64GB Jul 08 03:29:03 oh, I don't know that much about the meta-doctor makefile, that number just surprised me, which is why I ask Jul 08 03:29:28 Hey, if rwhitby says 64GB...64GB it is... Jul 08 03:29:48 right, I agree Jul 08 03:30:25 is there any way to access my pre from recovery mode?? Jul 08 03:31:03 RavenIII: you have a device with 256GB of flash I presume? Jul 08 03:31:19 JetUni: yes, using novacom. Jul 08 03:31:20 rwhitby: I'm kidding... Jul 08 03:31:32 * rwhitby is working on http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/OmaDm Jul 08 03:31:51 what's the syntax?? Jul 08 03:32:17 i tried reading the wiki about novaterm, but that didn't help Jul 08 03:32:25 I'm on Linux Jul 08 03:34:00 JetUni: in recovery mode you are talking directly to bootie Jul 08 03:35:48 rwhitby: why are you looking into OmaDm? curiosity? or do you have a plan? Jul 08 03:36:55 So how do I use bootie? And what would be the syntax to list my file system? Jul 08 03:37:18 JetUni: read the 'backup' target in the meta-doctor Makefile Jul 08 03:38:22 summatusmentis: the pursuit of basic knowledge never needs an explanation Jul 08 03:39:21 rwhitby: yeah it does. preferably why riding a motorcycle, putting on sunglasses, and saying "why not" Jul 08 03:40:27 rwhitby: heh, fair enough Jul 08 03:40:36 that should be my tagline in grad school Jul 08 03:40:43 or something Jul 08 03:40:59 my tagline is "how hard could it be?" Jul 08 03:41:36 A: Very Very Jul 08 03:41:47 I tried that one in HS, it ended in me explaining to my english teacher why I didn't have the paper we'd been working on for weeks because I was tinkering with partitioning my HD, and lost all my data Jul 08 03:43:11 halfhalo: if you watch top gear extremely hard Jul 08 03:43:27 * halfhalo may be watching top gear right now Jul 08 03:44:16 nice Jul 08 03:44:39 halfhalo: 17x2? Jul 08 03:46:12 * halfhalo notes TG is way off topic. (but no) Jul 08 03:46:43 rwhitby: so how do I list the filesystem? Jul 08 03:47:05 cat /proc/filesystems Jul 08 03:48:15 I checked the Makefile for 'backup' and it didn't really help me...I'm not the best at this stuff... Jul 08 03:50:30 JetUni, there's a thing you can do with bootie called memboot, but the basic stuff you would use that for like backing up your media partition is already scripted in metadoc Jul 08 03:50:36 JetUni: what did you learn from the 'backup' target? Jul 08 04:03:53 does anybody else w/ a pre2 find that theirs reboots a lot? Jul 08 04:04:13 (we're talking easily a half-dozen or more times a day, all on its lonesome) Jul 08 04:05:14 nope Jul 08 04:05:25 more like weeks between reboots Jul 08 04:05:44 Hm. Jul 08 04:05:56 well pretty much i did a search of 'backup' and found a bunch of commands that I sort of recognized, but none that looked like a list command Jul 08 04:06:11 It's driving me batty -- I can't even use it as an alarm clock, because there's no guarantee that it'll keep sane long enough Jul 08 04:08:37 cat-xeger, if you've already tried doctoring the next question is if it's still under warranty Jul 08 04:09:51 I haven't tried doctoring it yet ... originally thought iw was a battery problem Jul 08 04:15:54 rwhitby: so do you think you could just type out the syntax to display the file system? Jul 08 04:18:57 JetUni: sorry no, I don't give dangerous commands like that to folks unless they are prepared to understand how to use them and what they do. Jul 08 04:19:10 Heh. Jul 08 04:19:49 JetUni: bootie, memboot, meta-doctor and that backup target contain all the information you need. Jul 08 04:21:41 JetUni: you will also need to know about LVM partitions Jul 08 04:22:36 * cat-xeger passes rwhitby the box of shotgun shells Jul 08 04:23:37 cat-xeger: the meta-doctor backup target actually makes it quite safe - it mounts things read-only etc. Jul 08 04:24:09 unfortunately, no-one I have shown how to use the meta-doctor backup target has yet taken it upon themselves to document it. Jul 08 04:24:10 Heh. I haven't had a chance to play with it yet, but between the chroots and ro fsen... Jul 08 04:26:31 rwhitby: I've got a patch for the Preware screenshots scene: http://pastebin.com/FZnXH8v2 Jul 08 04:26:32 anyone here with an activated CDMA device who knows how to look in /var/lib/software/DmTree.xml ? Jul 08 04:27:48 oil: ^^ preware patch looks good? Jul 08 04:27:56 appsotutely: looks good to me Jul 08 04:28:52 rwhitby: what am I looking for? Jul 08 04:29:34 oh, wait, define "knows how" Jul 08 04:29:37 summatusmentis: near the end of the file, there will be an XML node called CDMA. Does it have valid contents that are relevant to your device and account? Jul 08 04:29:40 internalz isn't showing that this file exists Jul 08 04:30:15 * summatusmentis checks novaterm Jul 08 04:30:19 cat-xeger: is it a full reboot or a luna restart? and if it reboots, why doesn't your alarm work? Jul 08 04:31:05 yeh, rwhitby, unless I need to do something special, that file isn't there on my sprint pre- running 2.1 Jul 08 04:31:51 dwc- Not sure. Everything stops, and I get to wait through 1-2 minutes (sometimes repeated cycles of) the hp logo reappearing after things go blank Jul 08 04:32:10 My assumption is that the alarm goes away because the crash wipes out some setting Jul 08 04:32:22 from a terminal, you can run uptime and if it was just luna, the counter will not be reset Jul 08 04:32:22 rwhitby: alright good Jul 08 04:33:08 It's probably just a luna restart then -- I'm seeing an uptime of 3 days Jul 08 04:33:13 (or look at last reboot) Jul 08 04:33:20 (wondering if it's normal for the load average to be over 2) Jul 08 04:33:27 oh, nevermind, the pre doesn't log reboots in wtmp Jul 08 04:33:35 Nope. Jul 08 04:33:41 ... just checked Jul 08 04:33:53 * dwc- did too Jul 08 04:35:02 The restarts seem to be associated with state changes most often -- and I do see plenty of complaints about things like trying to reattach to non-existent apps Jul 08 04:35:05 (summarizing) Jul 08 04:36:19 rwhitby: as long as I'm here, what are you looking for in the CDMA node (of DmTree.xml)? Jul 08 04:37:18 rwhitby: I'm pretty sure I understand what could happen...I already messed up my pre and am trying to fix it now. So how do I copy a file to the /bin directory?? Jul 08 04:37:41 cp file /bin? Jul 08 04:38:07 JetUni - have you considered that you may just be making things wores? Jul 08 04:38:18 JetUni: recovery mode ; make memload mount ; novacom put .. ; reboot Jul 08 04:38:41 appsotutely: just want to know if it contains valid information Jul 08 04:39:05 appsotutely: it's for http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/OmaDm Jul 08 04:40:34 cat-xeger: If it gets worse I just doctor right... Jul 08 04:41:29 rwhitby: Umm, doesn't seem to contain anything particularly specific: 3GPD, Profile1, AuthAlgoAAA. I can send you the node separately if you like. Jul 08 04:46:45 appsotutely: so it doesn't contain any actual values, just empty nodes? Jul 08 04:47:24 appsotutely: the template is in /usr/share/omadm/DmTree.xml - does that area differ from the template in yours? Jul 08 04:47:38 appsotutely: (also, which device and carrier?) Jul 08 04:51:47 rwhitby: seems so, at least for me right now. Just empty nodes and the entire CDMA node is identical to the template. I'm on a Sprint Pre2. Jul 08 04:52:11 appsotutely: ah, Sprint Pre 2 doesn't have a provisioner binary Jul 08 04:52:29 Anyone got a working Sprint Pre running 1.4.5 ? Jul 08 04:59:28 rwhitby: so all I need is a usb transfer command right?? I have 1 file on my comp that I need to transfer to my phone Jul 08 04:59:57 JetUni: what is a "usb transfer command" ? Jul 08 05:00:26 On the bootie wiki page the usb transfer commands Jul 08 05:00:38 under the commands list Jul 08 05:01:00 it says usb: usb transfer commands Jul 08 05:01:31 rwhitby, my vzw Pre+ with 2.1 also does not have a /var/lib/software/DmTree.xml Jul 08 05:02:09 RagingMind: probably has the UpdateDaemon disabled - I do that for franken devices Jul 08 05:02:22 JetUni: and what does that command do? Jul 08 05:03:34 well I now figured I have the option to usb print message, usb disconnect and usb connect Jul 08 05:03:41 JetUni: I already gave you the commands: recovery mode ; make memload mount ; novacom put .. ; reboot Jul 08 05:03:51 yeah, I remember seeing that in the script when I built the doc I used to flash this phone Jul 08 05:04:56 from where? I was typing commands from novaterm and it says command not found Jul 08 05:05:19 you can novaterm into your pre? Jul 08 05:09:21 I have it in recovery mode, not to make memload mount I... Jul 08 05:09:35 now to make memload mount I... Jul 08 05:12:00 rwhitby: appsotutely: patch looks ook to me Jul 08 05:14:28 oil: do you want to apply it? I'm knee-deep in OmaDm ;) Jul 08 05:15:02 sure, ill get it in there in a few Jul 08 05:32:50 what's roots default password on a pre 2? Jul 08 05:36:34 blank Jul 08 05:36:34 empty Jul 08 05:36:52 thanks Jul 08 05:37:27 hunter2 Jul 08 05:37:47 root@192.168.0.24's password: Permission denied, please try again. Jul 08 05:37:51 yeah; they managed to make a quite impressive hash that matches both "blank" and "empty"; i'm still not sure how they managed that kind of a attack Jul 08 05:38:07 usually that's pretty hard with the hash algorithms used Jul 08 05:38:11 heh Jul 08 05:38:16 infidel: ssh to dropbear? Jul 08 05:38:17 sshd doesn't let you login with a blank password Jul 08 05:39:25 * oil uses a ky Jul 08 05:39:27 key* Jul 08 05:39:27 dwc-: that's why we use keys Jul 08 05:39:55 or set a password Jul 08 05:39:58 ahhh Jul 08 06:03:45 halfhalo, can node, by itself talk telnet or some other network stack based terminal serial thing? Jul 08 06:06:56 any precentral writers in here? Jul 08 06:34:29 morning ... Jul 08 06:34:48 any idea how to fix my broken optware installation? Jul 08 06:37:25 masterhit: webOS 1.4.5 ? Jul 08 06:43:43 guess masterhit didn't want it fixed ... Jul 08 06:45:01 ka6sox: node talks tcp and udp, so it can Jul 08 06:45:25 halfhalo, already found the 6 line client Jul 08 06:45:26 rwhitby: 2.1 pre- Jul 08 06:45:30 rwhitby: 2.1 pre- Jul 08 06:45:48 masterhit: should have upgraded cleanly then. Jul 08 06:46:08 masterhit: if all else fails, uninstall all optware stuff, reboot, then reinstall it. your keys will be preserved. Jul 08 06:46:54 this is what i tried Jul 08 06:47:11 ka6sox: heh. thats node for you. Jul 08 06:47:18 update through preware failed. Jul 08 06:47:22 update through preware failed. Jul 08 06:47:39 so i uninstalled all (via preware) Jul 08 06:47:46 and now he wont reinstall :/ Jul 08 06:47:53 yes, if you have a running daemon, it can't unmount /opt to migrate it Jul 08 06:48:02 seems so Jul 08 06:48:14 i have to kill a demon now Jul 08 06:48:21 :D Jul 08 06:48:32 well, uninstall and reboot does that Jul 08 06:49:18 if you've uninstalled and rebooted, then post the ipkg log somewhere and give me the URL to it Jul 08 06:49:27 ive uninstalled everything ... and rebooted quiet often Jul 08 06:49:29 (the ipkg log of your attempted reinstall) Jul 08 06:49:30 k Jul 08 06:49:47 in fact that should have been the first thing you provided 15 minutes ago Jul 08 06:50:16 "hey, I get a preware installlation error for optware. here is the ipkg log: " is how you should enter this channel Jul 08 06:54:11 http://pastebin.com/zjZRWX9p Jul 08 06:56:27 masterhit: do you have a /var/opt directory ? Jul 08 06:58:21 * masterhit is starting xterm Jul 08 06:58:57 jup Jul 08 06:59:05 is it empty?

Jul 08 10:15:01 nburn, was it recently doctored to 2.1.0? Jul 08 10:15:13 if so, it's a known thing Jul 08 10:42:50 anyone awake? Jul 08 10:55:26 awwwpoo Jul 08 11:06:46 hello Jul 08 11:07:02 anyone who can help my by saying how to instal Preware on TouchPad? Jul 08 11:08:37 my franken pre also just updated Jul 08 11:09:19 it's pretty typical though Jul 08 11:11:43 which OS? Jul 08 11:11:46 i mean Jul 08 11:11:48 carrier Jul 08 11:21:22 verizon Jul 08 11:52:52 just noticed microwaves question... he hung around for a whole minute for an answer Jul 08 11:53:11 or perhaps he tried installing it like you do on every other webOS device and realize that it works Jul 08 12:16:52 g'day folks :) Jul 08 12:17:33 I am looking for an enthusiastic Hardwar expert Jul 08 12:17:40 Hardware* Jul 08 12:19:50 anyone interested in creating a walkthrough about how to tear down the Pre- GSM, I provide Pictures and Hardware, but need someone with Know-How Jul 08 12:25:11 anyone? Jul 08 13:06:39 Wow...seems a lot of people are having charge issues.... Jul 08 13:07:23 or have had.... Jul 08 13:08:10 with? Jul 08 13:10:10 Loudergood: the Pre- Jul 08 13:12:46 ah, I never owned a minus Jul 08 13:12:52 Lucky you. Jul 08 13:13:13 PinguinXY: http://bit.ly/pre-disassembly Jul 08 13:13:13 my first was a plus Jul 08 13:15:40 I still love my + :) Jul 08 13:15:43 most of the time Jul 08 13:20:30 There is not one Pre 2 for sale on Craigslist... Jul 08 13:20:33 not one. Jul 08 14:05:31 that's because everyone who has one loves it Jul 08 14:42:47 Loudergood: yeah...I bet...but I want one! Jul 08 14:43:16 Yeah, I think either the battery in this Pre is shot, or I broke something. Jul 08 14:43:22 because it's not charging. Jul 08 14:45:42 what did you do to it? Jul 08 14:46:06 Well this was a pre I got from a buddy, with all 4 missing screws from the slider... Jul 08 14:46:19 so I took it apart, replaced the screws from a cellphone I had laying around. Jul 08 14:48:26 and I charged it once...but now, I drained the battery...and its just going to the battery with the bolt symbol...and almost boot looping...without booting. Jul 08 14:49:02 but the computer keeps seeing it as Palm Novatec Bootie....everytime it does that. Jul 08 14:49:18 try plugging it into the wall Jul 08 14:49:21 and not the USB Jul 08 14:49:33 PatrickC: yeah, I don't have a charger with me... Jul 08 14:50:04 I think its because I had it as Diag on the USB 1... Jul 08 14:50:11 maybe it's got something to do with it.... Jul 08 15:06:37 did someone ping me recently? Jul 08 15:07:11 did you try /lastlog ? Jul 08 15:16:24 not a valid command Jul 08 15:16:39 yeah, I tried it too Jul 08 15:16:49 ~lastlog Jul 08 15:21:42 is it possible to convert a CDMA pixi to GSM? Jul 08 15:21:52 yes. if you swap comms boards Jul 08 15:22:53 Are there any plans to make freetether work via bluetooth with the TouchPad? Jul 08 15:22:57 but does the pixi's comms board have the SIM slot on it? Jul 08 15:23:11 I believe so, yes Jul 08 15:23:26 but I'm not 100% certain as I've not handled a pixi gsm Jul 08 15:23:31 only gsm pre2's Jul 08 15:24:14 twbbas: I hope so Jul 08 15:24:53 PuffTheMagic: oh, then maybe it's an irssi specific thing, but I didn't think so Jul 08 15:27:09 PatrickC: what'd you pay for the Pre2? Jul 08 15:27:14 I didnt Jul 08 15:27:19 got them free Jul 08 15:27:32 I have 2 Jul 08 15:28:13 ... Jul 08 15:28:14 howd you get them free Jul 08 15:28:21 dev device program Jul 08 15:28:26 oh Jul 08 15:30:10 it makes wonder if the conversion is even possible Jul 08 15:30:26 when i did the verizon comms board swap into my sprint pixi Jul 08 15:30:34 the phone still read "Sprint" Jul 08 15:31:14 I believe its possible.. though I've never done it. Jul 08 15:31:15 so.. Jul 08 15:33:04 i mean if the phone read Verizon and the ESN changed, then yeah i guess its 100% possible Jul 08 15:33:35 im guessing the ESN and stuff is stored some place else on the pixi other than the comms board Jul 08 15:34:48 I'm really not the most knowledgeable person on this subject (yet) :) Jul 08 15:35:45 lol ok Jul 08 15:43:32 PatrickC: you dev? Jul 08 15:43:37 yep Jul 08 15:44:26 Cool... Jul 08 15:44:33 fudge_: I believe ESN and things are stored on the mobo on the pixi Jul 08 15:44:42 there's a precentral thread about it, iirc Jul 08 15:44:56 yeah i thought so too Jul 08 15:45:10 wont it be illegal to change that stuff tho Jul 08 15:45:30 well, can you explain what you're trying to do? Jul 08 15:46:03 im trying to convert a CDMA verizon pixi minus into a GSM (Unlocked) pixi plus Jul 08 15:47:20 the GSM pixi is water damaged (touch screen is gone) and im trying to swap the board into the verizon one, but im wondering if it will even work Jul 08 15:48:47 http://forums.precentral.net/palm-pixi-pixi-plus/256557-added-wifi-my-sprint-pixi-works-100-a.html Jul 08 15:48:55 that's the thread I was basing my info off of Jul 08 15:49:06 so that suggests that ESN and things are on the mobo Jul 08 15:50:00 yeah. im guessing its not possible then :/ Jul 08 15:50:40 RavenII: do you know Javascript? Jul 08 15:51:35 Negative...I do more the hacking of ESNs and such.. Jul 08 15:52:14 RavenII: so its possible in your eyes? lol Jul 08 15:54:04 What's that? Jul 08 15:54:24 Sorry, I wasn't reading (at work) Jul 08 15:54:31 lol its ok Jul 08 15:54:43 making a cdma pixi into a gsm one Jul 08 15:55:08 ok... Jul 08 15:58:00 any windsurfers/sailors/kitesurfers here that want to help beta-testing a wind-prediction app? query me! Jul 08 16:04:15 PatrickC: now that I think about it...I had the thing plugged into the house charger all night...still didn't charge... Jul 08 16:04:26 RavenII: odd Jul 08 16:04:38 Yeah... Jul 08 16:33:01 I'm thinking this is a bad pre...because it's not charging and I keep getting "Phone offline"....when/if it boots up. Jul 08 16:33:08 All the more reason to get a Plus... Jul 08 17:38:52 summatusmentis: lastlog is an epic/bitchx then irssi command. Jul 08 17:39:19 oh, I didn't realize that Jul 08 18:31:21 i setup ssh and am able to ssh in via wifi but not ppp0 i look at ifconfig ppp0 and have a 10. address so i wanted to check my ip on www.whatismyip.com and not my web browser doesn't work could this be a fw issue since the only rules are set for port 222? Jul 08 18:36:05 rwhitby: So I still don't know what commands I'm executing in which program to copy one little file to my pre...do you think you could help? Jul 08 18:37:18 JetUni, what are you doing? Jul 08 18:38:14 infidel: I need to copy /bin/sh to my pre from recovery mode... Jul 08 18:39:44 JetUni, can you access the pre? Jul 08 18:40:29 infidel: it's in recovery mode...that's the best I can do with it...it won't go past the boot logo Jul 08 18:41:46 JetUni, with the usb cable connected can you get to the os?

Jul 08 18:49:20 Cable connected and it's in recovery mode cuz I can't boot it... Jul 08 18:49:29 ahh oh yeah Jul 08 18:50:15 everything depends on that shell, what happened to it? Jul 08 18:51:22 i never been in recovery mode what do you see there? Jul 08 18:52:34 http://forums.palm.com/t5/webOS-Hardware/Palm-Pre-stuck-at-logo/td-p/242880 Jul 08 18:53:31 that page may help Jul 08 18:56:03 I know I can doctor it...but I don't want to...it's just one file I need to copy Jul 08 18:56:33 Or if there's an easy way to rename a file already on my pre, then that would work... Jul 08 18:58:26 can you get windows to see the files on the phone? Jul 08 18:58:56 I'm on Linux Jul 08 18:58:56 you have a linux box? Jul 08 18:59:10 when you plug it in does dmesg see it? Jul 08 18:59:13 It's a separate boot image Linux Jul 08 18:59:21 what's dmesg Jul 08 18:59:31 kernel messages Jul 08 18:59:40 how about lsusb? Jul 08 18:59:51 you might be able to munt it Jul 08 18:59:54 mount Jul 08 19:00:19 just type dmesg and look at the end for usb or sdX Jul 08 19:04:12 I don't see usb or sdX at the end of it... Jul 08 19:04:25 type lsusb Jul 08 19:04:44 k Jul 08 19:05:02 one says Palm, Inc. Jul 08 19:05:27 cool Jul 08 19:05:27 Bus 001 Device 007: ID 0830:8001 Palm, Inc. Jul 08 19:05:47 so it does see it, now you should be able to mount it Jul 08 19:06:03 sorry i can't help anymore i have to go back to work Jul 08 19:06:11 me too...thx Jul 08 19:19:03 ciao Jul 08 19:19:23 hellp Jul 08 19:20:35 Hi, in your opinion the possibility we have of made a meta-doctor of webos 3.0 in future for Pre+/- is about... 0%? xD Jul 08 19:20:40 hello* Jul 08 19:20:59 yeah.. probably right around 0% Jul 08 19:21:05 xDDDDDDD Jul 08 19:21:14 I don't think its possible.. different chips iirc Jul 08 19:21:33 meanwhile for Pre 2, around 99%, right? Jul 08 19:22:03 I believe the pre2 will get an official 3.0 doctor Jul 08 19:22:31 and I don't think that any of the current phones will be meta-doctorable to 3.0 as the tp has a different chip Jul 08 19:23:40 ok... thanks ;) Jul 08 19:23:44 np Jul 08 19:29:15 another quest.: every morning, when I turn off the airplane mode on my Pre- (kernel F-105, 1005 Mhz, webOS 2.1) after 7 hours, I must restart the OS, because its block... How can i resolve? Jul 08 19:38:48 hmm case+touchstone doesn't work as well as you'd hope Jul 08 19:39:06 has np charging through the case, but no useful way to put the device on the tp w.r.t to flap Jul 08 19:39:22 sine you probably wanna SEE it when on the tp, for exhibition and the like Jul 08 19:39:36 * dtzWill plays with it Jul 08 19:39:48 you can fold flap under and it sorta fits, but is kinda unnecessarily janky Jul 08 19:40:27 folding under in landscape seems best, oh well Jul 08 19:40:40 just shame the orientations didn't work out such that you could fold flap over top in the other landscape orientation... Jul 08 19:56:21 dtzWill: is the case nice besides that? pics? :) Jul 08 20:21:17 if I'm hacking on misc builtin apps (looking to see if a patch idea is plausible) Jul 08 20:21:26 stop LunaSysMgr ; start LunaSysMgr Jul 08 20:21:32 should be sufficient to ensure the updated code is loaded? Jul 08 20:23:56 (seems like it) Jul 08 20:31:34 YAY it's alive Jul 08 20:31:42 (agena view only shows my primary calendar now) Jul 08 20:31:44 thank *god* Jul 08 20:31:58 it didn't even filter on the calendars you marked visible in the calendar app Jul 08 20:32:17 so i have lots of calendars (friends, coworkers, etc) that i absolutely don't need cluttering my agenda ^.^ Jul 08 20:32:34 too bad my short poking didn't show a useful way to generalize this or let a user pick which calendar Jul 08 20:32:46 just had it log calendarId's and then hardcoded a check for mine, lol Jul 08 20:32:46 :3 Jul 08 20:33:19 ahhhh touchpad in case, on touchstone, showing my actual agenda ^_________________________^ Jul 08 20:33:22 * dtzWill is a happy will Jul 08 20:35:40 can you install regular .deb files in webos? Jul 08 20:36:03 PatrickC: depends what you mean Jul 08 20:36:06 short answer is 'no' Jul 08 20:36:17 like the Inkscape for linux Jul 08 20:36:19 medium answer is 'kinda' Jul 08 20:36:43 PatrickC: you could certainly 'install' them--they're just zip'd (err whatever compressed format they use) data Jul 08 20:36:48 extract it to /opt or something Jul 08 20:36:54 getting the dependencies for that deb Jul 08 20:36:59 and installing *those* Jul 08 20:37:07 is not something that you could easily do, offhand anyway Jul 08 20:37:07 my problem is that /opt is out of space (or so it says) Jul 08 20:37:19 PatrickC: well then metadoctor it to have more space :) Jul 08 20:37:22 er i think that's an option... Jul 08 20:37:36 do I have to doctor to gain the space? Jul 08 20:37:41 or can I do it elsewhere? Jul 08 20:37:48 anyway if you treat the .deb as a collection of prebuilt libraries/binaries/resources, and you _own_ putting them where they go and grabbing dep's you can /use/ them Jul 08 20:37:55 but kinda loses the whole point of having a .deb Jul 08 20:38:15 PatrickC: you can probably use the lvm tools to do a non-destructive resize Jul 08 20:38:24 ok Jul 08 20:38:30 I'll try those later Jul 08 20:38:33 i don't know how though, sorry. just imagine it's do-able Jul 08 20:38:41 thanks Jul 08 20:38:42 and, uh, no promises it won't eat your babies or something O:) Jul 08 20:39:06 I've done the lvm resize before Jul 08 20:39:15 and it worked fine then, which is why I asked Jul 08 20:39:35 PatrickC: great, you're a step ahead :) Jul 08 20:39:44 but I did it for other stuff. not the /opt Jul 08 20:39:57 I'll try it and report back :) Jul 08 20:40:24 thanks dtzWill Jul 08 20:41:13 PatrickC: yep, gl! :) Jul 08 20:41:18 thx Jul 08 20:41:40 I'll let you know what happens.. how did they run OOO on webos? I might have to do something like that Jul 08 20:43:24 PatrickC: using the x server Jul 08 20:43:34 PatrickC: and then taking some arm-friendly linux distribution like debian Jul 08 20:43:38 and building a chroot Jul 08 20:43:52 ok. documented on the wiki? I presume Jul 08 20:43:56 so just having all the files of the distribution, in an iamge on /media/internal Jul 08 20:44:03 PatrickC: indeed! Jul 08 20:44:06 http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Debian_chroot Jul 08 20:44:07 PatrickC: ^^^^^^^^^ Jul 08 20:44:08 :) Jul 08 20:44:11 ok. I'll take a look there Jul 08 20:44:13 thanks! :) Jul 08 20:45:01 dtzWill: does it matter what size you make it? Jul 08 20:46:44 PatrickC: yep, that's the bound on how big the 'disk' is internally Jul 08 20:46:51 so when you're in the chroot, it's as if you have a disk of that size. Jul 08 20:47:02 limits what you can install inside the chroot (via apt-get, etc) Jul 08 20:47:13 oh, so that's pretty much how big the "hard drive" is? Jul 08 20:48:06 indeed. Jul 08 20:48:13 and I see that you ported the xServer :) Jul 08 20:48:26 PatrickC: indeed ^.^ Jul 08 20:48:41 work on it for the touchpad is underway, it already works rather well. Jul 08 20:48:57 just some packaging issues, and along similar vein some usability issues re:keyboard Jul 08 20:49:00 awesome Jul 08 20:49:06 I don't have a tp (yet) so. Jul 08 20:49:18 hello i am looking for some help Jul 08 20:49:46 mafy6: what kind? Jul 08 20:50:00 dtzWill: is this actual screenshots of it running on a pre? http://en.m.webos-internals.org/wiki/Application:X?wasRedirected=true Jul 08 20:50:12 PatrickC: haha, yeah man. Jul 08 20:50:13 ^___^ Jul 08 20:50:18 wow! Jul 08 20:50:29 my geo restrictions have changed from france to usa Jul 08 20:50:38 mafy6: that's bad? Jul 08 20:50:57 dtzWill: would ubuntu be doable? or should I stick with debian? Jul 08 20:51:01 from what i have read on precentral.net i thought this was impossible Jul 08 20:51:18 PatrickC: http://twitter.com/#!/wdtz/status/86136317095849984 has some screenies for the touchpad Jul 08 20:51:25 and many more by cryptk and halfhalo Jul 08 20:51:27 palm has been working on lifting geo-restrictions iirc Jul 08 20:51:28 should be good stuff coming ^.^ Jul 08 20:51:38 PatrickC: ubuntu works, but I haven't tried/done it myself. Jul 08 20:51:45 ok Jul 08 20:51:52 I think cryptk has instructions for how to get a good natty chroot Jul 08 20:51:59 bug him about it (ping intentional) Jul 08 20:52:15 ubuntu works, but gnome takes a lot of work Jul 08 20:52:49 cryptk: which is better for a starter? ubuntu/debian Jul 08 20:52:57 either Jul 08 20:53:09 I am gonna write it up tonight Jul 08 20:53:26 how to get natty and gnome running Jul 08 20:53:48 on a pre or a tp? Jul 08 20:53:57 dtzWill: x server work on the pre2? Jul 08 20:54:04 tp Jul 08 20:54:13 PatrickC: it should? don't remember if i personally tested it Jul 08 20:54:21 ok Jul 08 20:54:21 PatrickC: gnome is probably a bit much for the pre Jul 08 20:54:36 cryptk's instructions would *work* but probably would be significantly less usable Jul 08 20:54:37 yeah, probably Jul 08 20:54:44 and from what i hear gnome dogs a little as it is Jul 08 20:55:02 it does Jul 08 20:55:04 partially due to lack of render acceleration, but i'd imagine also just b/c gnome is a bit heavy :) Jul 08 20:55:14 wow.. I'll stick with debian :) Jul 08 20:55:15 e or lxde is a much better option Jul 08 20:55:20 mmhmm. Jul 08 20:55:22 dtzWill: i couldnt get xserver to launch on TP Jul 08 20:55:29 cryptk: those e screnies you posted are glorious Jul 08 20:55:33 Jack87: it's a WIP Jul 08 20:55:37 thanks Jul 08 20:55:42 kde is supposed to be working on a mobile version as well Jul 08 20:55:42 copy that Jul 08 20:55:43 Jack87: nothing in the feeds work atm AFAIK Jul 08 20:55:55 the x server I'm using is not in the feeds Jul 08 20:55:58 gotcha Jul 08 20:56:09 working on building towards a testing release atm, some things to work out even before it hits the testing feeds :) Jul 08 20:56:10 dtzWill: is still working on that piece Jul 08 20:56:21 I've been watching the code on the git server with interest Jul 08 20:56:30 dtzWill: does it have randr? Jul 08 20:56:46 jack87, in other words, if you want the ipk, bribe dtzWill Jul 08 20:56:51 that should be a must Jul 08 20:57:12 RandR to allow rotation and resizing Jul 08 20:57:14 scoutcamper: if only i had more time to play right now Jul 08 20:57:17 has anyone have issues with the app catalog? Jul 08 20:57:20 lol Jul 08 20:57:20 cryptk: no, I don't have randr atm. Jul 08 20:57:24 cryptk: it's on my list of TODO's Jul 08 20:57:29 cool Jul 08 20:57:30 dtzWill: can those cmd's be run from webos to make the chroot? Jul 08 20:57:31 cryptk: primarily coupled with orientation detection Jul 08 20:57:38 yep Jul 08 20:57:51 cryptk: so that we can dynamically change things. might even make sense to have a little x app Jul 08 20:57:54 (not part of the server) Jul 08 20:58:03 that runs and lets you set the orientation Jul 08 20:58:08 by making little xrandr calls Jul 08 20:58:09 I am gonna write up tonight how to get natty and gnome running, but it is buggy Jul 08 20:58:18 but for now landscape works Jul 08 20:58:34 my geo restrtictions have changed from europe (france) to north america yet i cant get access to north american apps such as netflix etc Jul 08 20:58:47 most of my work will likely be on either natty and lxde or angstrom with something light Jul 08 20:58:52 mafy6: there is no netflix app Jul 08 20:59:11 dtzWill: I ask because I'm not gonna be at a linux pc for a while Jul 08 20:59:25 cryptk dtzWill, as soon as i have the gnome instructions i will edit them for kde-plasma-desktop Jul 08 21:00:21 scoutcamper: there is no hardware accel Jul 08 21:00:34 plasma will be SLOW Jul 08 21:00:45 meh Jul 08 21:01:09 if people like KDE-Plasma, then there will be motivation to fix it Jul 08 21:01:37 I wish people liked the android project Jul 08 21:01:42 lol Jul 08 21:02:32 damn, bt keyboard support is gonna require manually mapping the keys ._. Jul 08 21:02:58 PatrickC, people dont buy webos devices for the bleeding edge hardware, they buy it for WebOS, thus android would not be liked, if they wanted android they would buy android Jul 08 21:03:20 scoutcamper: I'm talking about the dual-boot project Jul 08 21:03:33 me to Jul 08 21:03:40 I liked having both Jul 08 21:03:53 if we wanted driod, we would buy driod Jul 08 21:03:56 it would have been nice to have some of their apps.. and stuff on pre hw Jul 08 21:04:05 nah Jul 08 21:04:15 I like the angry birds free :) Jul 08 21:04:15 we are webos-internals... not droid internals Jul 08 21:04:20 lol Jul 08 21:04:20 an android chroot would be cool ;) Jul 08 21:04:24 thank goodness Jul 08 21:04:31 Loudergood: get working! :) Jul 08 21:04:35 haha Jul 08 21:04:48 why dont you make it PatrickC Jul 08 21:04:49 actually I find the debian chroot much cooler, I <3 debian Jul 08 21:05:02 cryptk: I haven't ever done a chroot before Jul 08 21:05:09 I'll start with documented ones first :) Jul 08 21:05:11 cryptk: is there 'composite' extension on your copy of the xserver? Jul 08 21:05:12 i <3 Ubuntu Jul 08 21:05:14 learn? Jul 08 21:05:27 not sure Jul 08 21:05:27 cryptk: like I said, I'll start with documented ones first Jul 08 21:05:40 xpydinfo should tell you, next time you're in your chroot could you run it and tell me? j/w :) Jul 08 21:05:48 and jumping xserver versions here is a PITA, otherwise i'd do it myself Jul 08 21:05:51 I havent checked for composite Jul 08 21:06:14 lemme hook it up, one sec Jul 08 21:06:20 np and no hurry at all Jul 08 21:06:21 j/w ^.^ Jul 08 21:06:22 dtzWill: would webos be able to build the chroot? Jul 08 21:06:35 yes, but slowly Jul 08 21:06:42 hmm.. I'll try it Jul 08 21:06:56 I'm not gonna be near an actual linux distro for a while Jul 08 21:07:27 someone needs to port synergy to webos Jul 08 21:07:40 infidel: get to work ;) Jul 08 21:07:53 dtzWill, where can I find xpydinfo at? Jul 08 21:07:56 lol Jul 08 21:07:57 we have our own synergy, tyvm Jul 08 21:08:13 infidel, that is my next project Jul 08 21:08:23 summatusmentis, that isn't the synergy he is talking about Jul 08 21:08:28 cryptk: x11-utils Jul 08 21:08:31 keyboard and mouse sharing Jul 08 21:08:40 cryptk: I'm aware :) Jul 08 21:08:41 think he was joking? :) Jul 08 21:08:51 but yeah synergy is good stuff. Jul 08 21:08:54 awesome Jul 08 21:08:59 infidel: j/w, what did you have in mind for your port? Jul 08 21:09:01 when I try to wget http://www.public.iastate.edu/%7Emdklein/debsmall.img.bz2 it gives me a 404 error Jul 08 21:09:09 tablet as server to control other clients Jul 08 21:09:20 dtzWill, I have x11-utils installed Jul 08 21:09:22 he's right Jul 08 21:09:23 no xpydinfo Jul 08 21:09:26 or controlling tablet with some other device's stuff Jul 08 21:09:28 cryptk: xdpyinfo Jul 08 21:09:29 sorry Jul 08 21:10:22 mmmm firefox (iceweasel) is fun/good stuff Jul 08 21:10:29 man can't wait until we get this all polished and shipped Jul 08 21:10:31 ^______________^ Jul 08 21:10:47 especially with bt keyboard Jul 08 21:11:00 dtzWill, http://pastebin.com/86naSj23 Jul 08 21:11:01 i could just bring table around with me (and keyboard) and be remarkably productive Jul 08 21:11:10 it has it Jul 08 21:11:19 cryptk: haha okay, ty. Jul 08 21:11:27 forward-ported the xsdl stuff to 1.9, and it had it Jul 08 21:11:33 and didn't remember seeing it before. Jul 08 21:11:45 mine is the 0.5.0 that halfhalo has Jul 08 21:11:55 transparent terminals are fun :P Jul 08 21:12:10 and the forced compisiting fixes the draw glitches Jul 08 21:12:36 (which i think are due to us blitting the buffer asynchronously, shrug) Jul 08 21:12:43 cryptk: yeah, i haven't wrapped up 1.9 yet. Jul 08 21:26:45 dtzWill: ping Jul 08 21:27:20 PatrickC: pong :) Jul 08 21:27:33 it won't let me resize the .pmg Jul 08 21:27:35 img* Jul 08 21:27:39 pasting error Jul 08 21:28:13 hmm? Jul 08 21:29:01 oh. I think I ran 2 cmd's as one.. Jul 08 21:29:07 is this 2 cmd's Jul 08 21:29:09 bunzip2 debsmall.img.bz2 Jul 08 21:29:20 that's one command Jul 08 21:29:24 it's extracts the img. Jul 08 21:29:48 I tried that (with 1024MB) and it failed Jul 08 21:29:59 * halfhalo lulz Jul 08 21:30:12 first just bunzip it Jul 08 21:30:17 ok Jul 08 21:30:18 then you have the actual image Jul 08 21:30:23 then you resize that Jul 08 21:31:08 Can't open input file debsmall.img.bz2: No such file or directory Jul 08 21:31:22 PatrickC: you probably already extracted it to debsmall.img? Jul 08 21:31:30 yeah Jul 08 21:31:32 just saw that Jul 08 21:31:47 I personally am not using images Jul 08 21:31:54 I just have the rootfs in a folder that I chroot to Jul 08 21:32:05 which is easier? Jul 08 21:32:27 for you? Jul 08 21:32:29 no clue Jul 08 21:32:47 depends on if you know how to mount a loopback or not Jul 08 21:32:53 and what instructions you are following Jul 08 21:32:55 etc etc etc Jul 08 21:32:56 I've done it before.. Jul 08 21:33:03 http://en.m.webos-internals.org/wiki/Debian_chroot?wasRedirected=true Jul 08 21:33:16 just follow the instructions Jul 08 21:33:39 ok Jul 08 21:33:56 invalid new size 1024MB Jul 08 21:34:20 nvm.. should be 1024M Jul 08 21:45:12 * scoutcamper mumbles something about rdp needing a dbus Jul 08 21:46:45 on x-server Jul 08 21:48:07 hmm i thought rdesktop in widk worked Jul 08 21:48:11 been a while, though. Jul 08 21:48:18 * dtzWill builds to see Jul 08 21:48:28 why doesn't dbus work? Jul 08 21:49:13 dtzWill, the RDP in e17 on my chroot on my TP dies because it has no dbus Jul 08 21:50:16 oh man, e17, I forgot about that Jul 08 21:51:08 summatusmentis, right now e17 and lxde are the only gui's that work Jul 08 21:51:43 summatusmentis, after tonight gnome will work, and if i get instructions sometime soon kde-plasma will also exist Jul 08 21:53:50 I'm picking up my TP tomorrow, looking forward to it. Jul 08 21:54:11 how usable is the X stuff? Jul 08 21:54:47 summatusmentis, if you can talk dtzWill out of an IPK its pretty useable Jul 08 21:55:01 dtzWill: can the key mapping be scripted? Jul 08 21:55:11 * summatusmentis pokes dtzWill Jul 08 21:55:23 IPK! IPK! IPK! Jul 08 21:56:24 lol Jul 08 21:57:51 congrats summatusmentis Jul 08 21:58:10 bnceo: looking forward to it Jul 08 21:58:16 summatusmentis, getting a 16 or 32gb?

I have to fill that thing out and mail it tomorrow Jul 08 21:58:51 my 32gb is a champ Jul 08 21:59:00 if I could get the 16gb one and use the legacy discount, I totally would Jul 08 21:59:44 summatusmentis, my chroot is 16gb alone lol Jul 08 22:00:09 daang Jul 08 22:00:17 why would novaterm randmly crash in the middle of a cmd? Jul 08 22:00:25 actually, the chroot stuff is something I feel like I need Jul 08 22:03:47 summatusmentis, dbus works fine Jul 08 22:03:57 scoutcamper is wrong about dbus, the problem is NOT with dbus Jul 08 22:04:37 cryptk, correct, but dbus not starting is the problem, thus indirectly the issue is with dbus Jul 08 22:05:47 no Jul 08 22:05:51 dbus works just fine Jul 08 22:05:59 you can start it manually and it starts right up Jul 08 22:06:03 upstart is the problem Jul 08 22:06:14 what you are describing is a symptom of that problem Jul 08 22:06:39 upstart fails to start dbus due to problems with upstart, not due to problems with dbus Jul 08 22:07:05 ok Jul 08 22:07:40 * scoutcamper contemplates installing the palm sdk on his TP Jul 08 22:07:58 s/TP/chroot on his TP/ Jul 08 22:09:42 scoutcamper: eclipse works, i think. halfhalo tweeted some screenies Jul 08 22:09:43 hehe Jul 08 22:09:50 dtzWill, yep Jul 08 22:10:13 if i get full sdk, i can build ipk's, leave them in /tmp/ and install through preware :D Jul 08 22:11:23 scoutcamper: yep! :) Jul 08 22:11:28 also, rdesktop in widk works fine fwiw Jul 08 22:11:34 idk what rdesktop needs dbus for anyway Jul 08 22:13:48 so what are the problems with upstart? can they be fixed? Jul 08 22:15:35 well rdesktop in widk needs some keymapping stuffs to work with that Jul 08 22:15:37 but it runs :) Jul 08 22:15:52 dtzWill: awesome news Jul 08 22:16:47 rdesktop from debian chroot works fine Jul 08 22:16:58 NOOOOO Jul 08 22:17:09 PatrickC: o_O Jul 08 22:17:12 I rebooted my pre2 and all the cookies from apps are gone!! Jul 08 22:17:20 it was really slow.. so I rebooted Jul 08 22:17:43 then when it finished booting, I opened up wIRC, and it was like I JUST INSTALLED IT! Jul 08 22:17:46 a Jul 08 22:17:48 * Jack87 is sad for some reason he cant login to the secure wifi on campus anymore and according to the help desk his account isnt blocked. even though this happened like 2 years ago and there was some hidden block somewhere Jul 08 22:17:52 same with preware! Jul 08 22:18:30 dtzWill: any ideas? Jul 08 22:18:38 my usb drice is still Jul 08 22:18:39 PatrickC: thats odd.. all that fun stuff is stored on palm's servers i think. every new device activation and doctor all that stuff stays put for me Jul 08 22:18:44 drive is still in tact Jul 08 22:19:06 Jack87: but.. why after just a regular reboot? Jul 08 22:19:29 and now whenever I try to open novacom it tells me "failed to connect to server" Jul 08 22:19:32 i dunno maybe you errased it some how? Jul 08 22:19:38 idk how.. Jul 08 22:19:46 is dev mode on? Jul 08 22:19:49 I just did a triple toggle reboot Jul 08 22:20:03 yeah Jul 08 22:20:46 xterm works perfectly though Jul 08 22:21:19 now I have no novaterm.. Jul 08 22:21:48 :'( Jul 08 22:22:12 palm-install won't even work Jul 08 22:22:27 on windows machine? Jul 08 22:23:00 yeah Jul 08 22:23:07 try restarting it Jul 08 22:23:16 ok Jul 08 22:24:15 my preware feeds are intact Jul 08 22:24:18 but nothing else Jul 08 22:24:59 spaz is no longer logged in.. nothing Jul 08 22:29:36 Jack87: that worked to fix novacom Jul 08 22:30:05 figured it was just a service that some how got disabled. rebooting re-enabled it on the computer Jul 08 22:30:25 as for your other issues i dunno enough to help you sorry Jul 08 22:30:39 thx though Jul 08 22:30:48 time to finish the chroot Jul 08 22:30:53 * PatrickC *sighs* Jul 08 22:39:47 Greetings everyone. Jul 08 22:39:50 If a Sprint Palm Pre is activated using a palm profile that is active on another pre. can data from the usb drive be retreived from the old phone? Jul 08 22:40:06 from the usb drive? Jul 08 22:40:11 yes Jul 08 22:40:16 you mean when you plug the phone into a computer? Jul 08 22:40:21 music, photos and such. Jul 08 22:40:26 yes Jul 08 22:40:30 as I understand it, that should still be on the old phone Jul 08 22:40:47 all the stuff associated with the palm profile will not be though Jul 08 22:41:07 right. My question is does activitatng a palm profile on a new phone cause the old phone to wipe or lose access to the data it has? Jul 08 22:41:38 not on the usb partition, I don't think Jul 08 22:41:45 have you plugged in the old phone and looked? Jul 08 22:41:53 dtzWill: ping Jul 08 22:42:05 old phone is still at the sprint store, heading over in a few with a laptop to pull data Jul 08 22:42:05 when I run "/usr/sbin/chroot /media/cf" Jul 08 22:42:28 nvm Jul 08 22:42:43 but it was worrying me Jul 08 22:42:50 so I though I would pop in and ask Jul 08 22:43:03 oh, no, I'm pretty sure it should still all be there Jul 08 22:43:25 with the understanding that you are not guaranteeing anything, I thank you. Jul 08 22:43:26 anyone here done the debian chroot via img file? Jul 08 22:45:39 pawnshop7: of course, but I've doctored a phone, and everything on the usb partition was still there Jul 08 22:45:56 logging it out of the palm profile shouldn't hurt it, unless something weird occurs Jul 08 22:46:00 ok. debian chroot. I'm at the /usr/sbin/chroot /media/cf step Jul 08 22:46:07 after I do that, then what? Jul 08 22:46:11 PatrickC: pong-ish Jul 08 22:46:20 I'm at /usr/sbin/chroot /media/cf Jul 08 22:46:24 what do I do now? Jul 08 22:47:00 run X server? Jul 08 22:47:07 PatrickC, yes Jul 08 22:47:12 I did Jul 08 22:47:16 and nothing happened Jul 08 22:47:28 just the gray checkered screen Jul 08 22:48:07 that's the outcome of running an xserver Jul 08 22:48:29 how do I get debian to run then? Jul 08 22:48:53 what... what? Jul 08 22:49:02 summatusmentis, I've doctored one as well, but I wasn't sure if the de3activation of the palm profile had a built in data wipe Jul 08 22:49:15 pawnshop7: afaik, no, but like I said, no guarantees Jul 08 22:49:39 let me show a pic Jul 08 22:49:52 PatrickC, the wiki says exactly what to do, re-read that page, you will see it Jul 08 22:49:53 again, thank you. Jul 08 22:50:47 scoutcamper: the export DISPLAY=:0 Jul 08 22:51:29 yep Jul 08 22:51:37 then you have to install/boot a gui Jul 08 22:51:57 I don't see that in the wiki Jul 08 22:52:10 and in xorg I still only have the grey screen Jul 08 22:52:31 you wont get anything in xorg till you boot a gui Jul 08 22:52:43 that's not in the wiki I'm reading.. Jul 08 22:52:48 sure thing pawnshop7 Jul 08 22:52:55 http://en.webos-internals.org/wiki/Debian_chroot Jul 08 22:53:05 the wiki you are reading is a chroot guide, not an x-server guide Jul 08 22:53:13 ah Jul 08 22:54:53 scoutcamper: when you search X-Server on the wiki, I don't see a guide Jul 08 22:55:01 correct Jul 08 22:55:11 I'm lost lol Jul 08 22:55:20 where is it documented? Jul 08 22:55:28 because x-server requires a working knowledge of linux, if you cant figure out how to install/boot a gui, dont do a chroot Jul 08 22:55:59 I have some knowledge of linux.. I've never had to do that before Jul 08 22:56:06 the gui is always pre-installed Jul 08 22:56:13 not on real linux Jul 08 22:56:17 what does a chroot without a gui do you? Jul 08 22:56:31 oh come now, "real linux" :-P Jul 08 22:56:33 ubuntu/xubuntu/puppylinux are the ones I've run Jul 08 22:56:49 PatrickC, google is your friend now Jul 08 22:56:55 ok.. Jul 08 22:57:25 PatrickC: a chroot changes the environment to point to a new root file-system. without the xserver, it'll act like a normal command-line linux install Jul 08 22:57:41 ah Jul 08 22:57:49 if there are things you want it to do, googling will help you figure out the process to get there Jul 08 22:57:50 so it'll be like a regular linux cmd line? Jul 08 22:57:56 yes Jul 08 22:58:01 I'm wanting to get the gui up Jul 08 22:58:11 it's basically a minimal debian cli install Jul 08 22:59:06 ok. Jul 08 22:59:06 ok, then I'd suggest googling how to do that Jul 08 22:59:21 now I have to figure out what to google.. Jul 08 22:59:51 part of the reason there's not really a webos-internals tutorial on this is because the goal of a chroot very much depends on the user Jul 08 23:00:39 ok.. I figured there would still be a tutorial on how to get the gui working.. Jul 08 23:01:21 and. nothing I google works.. Jul 08 23:01:24 I assume it's a relatively new process Jul 08 23:01:56 well, you're looking for how to install a gui on debian Jul 08 23:02:12 someone said earlier that lxde and e17 are the only ones that work right now Jul 08 23:02:25 ok thanks Jul 08 23:02:38 I haven't done this, so I don't actually know what to tell you beyond generic things Jul 08 23:03:22 if I have the XOrg Server from preware installed, that's my "x-windows-system-core" correct? Jul 08 23:03:50 no idea Jul 08 23:03:54 ok.. Jul 08 23:03:59 dtzWill: ? Jul 08 23:04:01 like I said, I haven't done this Jul 08 23:04:21 although, I doubt it Jul 08 23:04:32 * rwhitby suggests folks who don't understand choots or X servers wait until stuff is in a testing feed Jul 08 23:04:34 chroot uses a different rootfs than the webOS install Jul 08 23:05:26 rwhitby: is xorg server for the pre not in the feeds?t Jul 08 23:05:30 hats where I got it Jul 08 23:05:43 the chroot is not in the feeds Jul 08 23:05:46 they're different things Jul 08 23:06:14 PatrickC: sorry, sup? Jul 08 23:06:45 I'm trying to get the gui working. is the xorg server in preware the same thing as a x-window-server-core ? Jul 08 23:07:36 I'm following http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/gui.htm Jul 08 23:08:10 PatrickC: something to consider: based on what people are saying, this stuff is still pre-beta, which means you may run into things that no one else has seen yet, or figured out a fix to (in the context of webos) Jul 08 23:08:24 summatusmentis: ok.. Jul 08 23:08:26 which is why scoutcamper and rwhitby are suggesting you wait a while, I assume Jul 08 23:08:57 ok.. I figured this was already done for the pre.. as I remember OOO was running a while ago Jul 08 23:09:40 doesn't mean all the kinks are worked out yet Jul 08 23:10:26 lxde and e17? twm! twm is the standard! Jul 08 23:10:27 PatrickC: put simply, if you need to ask questions then you are not ready to be doing this stuff. Jul 08 23:10:54 rwhitby: ok.. Jul 08 23:10:56 go and do private research, and come back when you understand the underlying concepts, or wait until it's published for general use. Jul 08 23:11:12 otherwise you are simply wasting the time of the people who are working on it. Jul 08 23:11:43 the goal of this is to get stuff in the feed for *everyone* to use, not to get you personally being able to use it. Jul 08 23:11:59 ok Jul 08 23:11:59 if you want to play around with chroots a little easier... try it on a desktop/laptop inside of another install Jul 08 23:12:44 they're neat things Jul 08 23:12:53 I'll look into them Jul 08 23:13:00 * rwhitby bbl Jul 08 23:13:01 if set up properly, and nothing is running as root inside of them :p Jul 08 23:13:20 see what I can get. its nice to have a cli linux with me at all times :) Jul 08 23:14:46 bbl Jul 08 23:44:54 can you get free app catalogs any way through preware Jul 08 23:45:03 huh? Jul 08 23:46:26 can you get free apps through preware like iphones cydia has an app installous where you can get free apps Jul 08 23:47:10 zz1k: that's illegal Jul 08 23:47:23 if you are talking about getting apps that normally cost money for free Jul 08 23:47:25 oh Jul 08 23:47:42 yeah Jul 08 23:48:40 wow.. Jul 08 23:56:30 how do you get doom the game my preware didn't have it Jul 08 23:58:45 ? Jul 08 23:58:54 http://thisismynext.com/2011/07/08/exclusive-pre-3-not-coming-sprint/ Jul 08 23:59:19 what will this do Jul 09 00:01:17 how do I get doom on my preware Jul 09 00:01:32 PuffTheMagic: :( :( :9 Jul 09 00:02:01 what? Jul 09 00:02:12 palm, looks like it isn't in the feeds anymore Jul 09 00:02:17 not sure why it isn't there Jul 09 00:02:39 likely because it broke at some point and nobody has fixed it yet Jul 09 00:03:16 so icant get it until they fix it Jul 09 00:03:47 the source is available in our git repo, you could always fix it and then submit a patch Jul 09 00:04:32 http://git.webos-internals.org/games/sdldoom/ Jul 09 00:06:59 PuffTheMagic: :'( Jul 09 00:17:37 well the usefulness of agenda exhibition app is ruined by fail yet again Jul 09 00:17:48 so after patching it to only hit my main calendar Jul 09 00:17:54 i'm running into a different bug where it just doesn't refresh Jul 09 00:18:05 (it happens without my patch fwiw) Jul 09 00:18:14 says something happening at 7pm is 5 hours from now Jul 09 00:18:19 and the clock reports 7:14pm Jul 09 00:18:21 x.x Jul 09 00:18:34 humorously, i can't seem to restart the agenda app Jul 09 00:18:36 without bouncing luna Jul 09 00:18:52 all i want is my damn agenda :( Jul 09 00:18:54 dtzWill, all the holidays in my calendar show up twice Jul 09 00:18:58 why even ship something that's so broken :( Jul 09 00:19:17 PuffTheMagic: i used to hvae duplicate event issues, haven't seen that on my tp Jul 09 00:19:17 ..yet Jul 09 00:19:18 >.< Jul 09 00:19:37 and they are offset by a day Jul 09 00:19:41 idk how such a thing could happen Jul 09 00:21:07 * PuffTheMagic wants to start a #fuckSprint trend Jul 09 00:21:19 even though i prob wont be switching Jul 09 00:21:33 dtzWill: I think that's because the calendar app is running in the background even if there's no open cards for it Jul 09 00:21:37 not paying $100 more a month for a pre3 Jul 09 00:21:50 if you want to try something, try killing the Calendar processes with jstop Jul 09 00:22:21 Can HP not directly sell a CDMA Pre 3 that'll work on Sprint? Jul 09 00:22:41 nope, the esn needs to be in sprints system for it to work. Jul 09 00:23:57 which is a whole 'nother category of rage-inducing carrier fail.
