Apr 13 17:36:04 <Chris_> Is anyone present?
Apr 13 17:36:15 <HaDAk> hi Chris_
Apr 13 17:36:37 <Chris_>  Hi. Do you know if HP webOS servers are still up?
Apr 13 17:36:58 <HaDAk> i'm pretty sure they shut them down. i haven't checked in a while, though.
Apr 13 17:37:01 <HaDAk> are you having troubles?
Apr 13 17:37:07 <Chris_> Fair enough. Thanks :)
Apr 13 17:37:28 <Chris_> I just found an old TouchPad and I have forgotten the PIN
Apr 13 17:37:40 <HaDAk> are you concerned about the data on the touchpad?
Apr 13 17:38:01 <Chris_> Just trying to get it working again tbh
Apr 13 17:38:14 <HaDAk> you could webos doctor it, if you wanted the stock firmware again. that's easy enough.
Apr 13 17:38:24 <HaDAk> you could also try installing webos ports
Apr 13 17:38:31 <HaDAk> if you're interested in helping test
Apr 13 17:38:32 <Chris_> Ah cool. Is that  possible with the servers down?
Apr 13 17:38:39 <HaDAk> both are, yes
Apr 13 17:39:00 <HaDAk> going the doctor route, you'd probably have some issues on first boot...but nothing that can't be worked around
Apr 13 17:39:10 <Chris_> Oh nice! Do you know where I can find a set of instructions? And thank you for your help
Apr 13 17:39:38 <HaDAk> https://pivotce.com/2015/04/13/luneos-april-stable-release-cafe-au-lait/
Apr 13 17:39:48 <HaDAk> that's (today's) release for webos-ports for it. there are instructions there.
Apr 13 17:40:06 <HaDAk> if you want to go the doctor route, it might actually be MORE work... (finding the image, working around the first-boot issues, etc)
Apr 13 17:40:15 <HaDAk> but i'm sure i can find something for you there, too.
Apr 13 17:40:24 <Chris_> I'll try this, thanks
Apr 13 17:40:35 <Chris_> Is this the community made fruits of Open webOS?
Apr 13 17:40:59 <HaDAk> it is
Apr 13 17:41:04 <HaDAk> i mean, we're working on it. :)
Apr 13 17:41:34 <Chris_> So, I'm sorry to bug you with such basic questions, it's effectively normal webOS with community support?
Apr 13 17:41:44 <HaDAk> it's not a bother at all
Apr 13 17:41:53 <HaDAk> it's a complete rewrite of the UI and core apps
Apr 13 17:42:09 <Chris_> Wow
Apr 13 17:42:13 <HaDAk> and it now uses the standard linux kernel (which anrdoid merged with a while back -- so anything linux/android runs on, so will this)
Apr 13 17:42:20 <Chris_> That's impressive
Apr 13 17:42:44 <HaDAk> we'd like to think so.
Apr 13 17:43:46 <Chris_> Does it still have exhibition and touchstone support? Those were always the coolest parts?
Apr 13 17:44:17 <HaDAk> touchstone is going to be hardware based, so that'll work -- but only on supported hardware (pre/touchpad). exhibition is not (yet) present.
Apr 13 17:44:31 <HaDAk> there are more important things to  get working, first. i'm sure i'll come with time though.
Apr 13 17:47:08 <HaDAk> if you want to get involved with the project (Testing, feedback, help developing ,etc) join up #webos-ports
Apr 13 22:54:54 <dwc-> as far as my veer can tell, the servers are still up
Apr 13 22:54:57 <dwc-> just fyi
Apr 13 22:55:11 <dwc-> catalog and backup at least. dunno about profile/activating/remote wiping though
Apr 13 22:55:18 <dwc-> oh... and of course neither of them are here anymore
Apr 13 23:29:01 <cat-xeger> Of course not.
