Jan 14 08:16:06 <morphis> Tofe: the account window which gives you the google page is a child of the main one
Jan 14 08:16:12 <morphis> or better use the testr app for reproducing
Jan 14 08:16:34 <morphis> select the windowing test case and open a new window
Jan 14 08:44:25 <morphis> DougReeder, JaMa: the best would be if we can distribute the sampler through our feeds
Jan 14 08:44:42 <morphis> so just adding them to https://github.com/webOS-ports/build
Jan 14 10:18:17 <Tofe> morphis: ok
Jan 14 14:19:47 <morphis> ichthys: ping
Jan 14 14:20:45 <ichthys> Hi morphis
Jan 14 14:21:20 <morphis> so you were searching for C work to help us, right?
Jan 14 14:24:19 <ichthys> yeah ... well thats about the only stuff I know to do .
Jan 14 14:24:24 <morphis> good
Jan 14 14:24:39 <morphis> http://issues.webos-ports.org/issues/811 might be a good one to get started with
Jan 14 14:24:43 <morphis> plain C/C++ work
Jan 14 14:25:17 <ichthys> ok ..... let me take a look.
Jan 14 14:27:04 <morphis> ichthys: which device do you have?
Jan 14 14:27:56 <ichthys> Ive got Mako N4
Jan 14 14:28:01 <morphis> ah great
Jan 14 14:32:47 <morphis> ichthys: feel free to ask me any questions
Jan 14 14:33:34 <morphis> if that is too much for the start I can also give you a smaller one
Jan 14 14:33:38 <morphis> with existing code
Jan 14 14:33:56 <ichthys> Ok ... Will have to brush up on my C++ skills a bit ... Long time since I've done C++ in anger. But does not look too difficult ..... Will have to do some reading up of the haptics stuff and the actual device
Jan 14 14:34:03 <ichthys> Thanks Morphis ... I probably will end up asking a few questions.
Jan 14 14:34:24 <ichthys> Do we want to implement this in C or C++ ?
Jan 14 14:34:57 <morphis> ichthys: nyx is pure C
Jan 14 14:35:10 <morphis> the interface is already defined so you just have to implement it
Jan 14 14:35:29 <ichthys> Ahhh OK .....
Jan 14 14:35:31 <morphis> https://github.com/webOS-ports/nyx-modules-hybris is where the code should go into
Jan 14 14:35:48 <morphis> for example look at the led controller
Jan 14 14:35:49 <morphis> https://github.com/webOS-ports/nyx-modules-hybris/blob/master/src/led_controller/led_controller.c
Jan 14 14:35:58 <morphis> it already used the Android HAL API for backlight
Jan 14 14:37:12 <ichthys> Morphis ; I think I can do this then ...... but just so that I can get some baby steps in , give me the easy simple one first...... After I get my feet wet, I think I can do the haptics stuff as well. It looks simple enough anyway.
Jan 14 14:39:14 <morphis> ichthys: ok
Jan 14 14:39:39 <morphis> ichthys: then lets start with extending the led controller one
Jan 14 14:39:40 <morphis> https://github.com/webOS-ports/nyx-modules-hybris/blob/master/src/led_controller/led_controller.c
Jan 14 14:39:49 <morphis> currently it only handles the device display backlight
Jan 14 14:39:57 <morphis> but should also handle LEDs for notifications etc.
Jan 14 14:41:50 <morphis> ichthys: nyx defines different led types: https://github.com/openwebos/nyx-lib/blob/master/include/public/nyx/common/nyx_led_controller_common.h#L44
Jan 14 14:43:02 <ichthys> Morphis : By LED I think you mean the one in the gesture area for the N4 ?
Jan 14 14:43:12 <morphis> yes
Jan 14 14:45:02 <ichthys> ok looked ... looks logical enough.
Jan 14 14:45:26 <morphis> ichthys: yeah
Jan 14 14:45:37 <morphis> when you look on the device
Jan 14 14:45:46 <morphis> there is a small utility called nyx-cmd
Jan 14 14:46:48 <ichthys> Morphis Ok I dont have the device on me .... its at home and I am at work on lunch break.
Jan 14 14:46:50 <morphis> that one already has support for calling the LEDs API
Jan 14 14:46:53 <morphis> ah ok
Jan 14 14:47:34 <ichthys> But tell me can I get some form of cmd-line from the device onto my laptop ?
Jan 14 14:47:38 <morphis> ichthys: then lets do it this way: I will write things together in our bug tracker
Jan 14 14:47:50 <morphis> then you can start working on that task
Jan 14 14:49:04 <morphis> ichthys: is that ok?
Jan 14 14:49:10 <ichthys> Morphis : ok sure ... that would be great.  Just need to get some form of linux command-line on the laptop
Jan 14 14:49:29 <ichthys> how do you debug on the device itself ?
Jan 14 14:50:06 <morphis> you mean with gdb?
Jan 14 14:50:13 <morphis> the -dev image ships gdb
Jan 14 14:50:25 <morphis> you just have to install debug symbols or copy an binary with those included
Jan 14 14:51:07 <ichthys> well does the build have an ssh server running or does it allow me to use adb to get a shell ?  once on the devices command line, Its much easier to check stuff out
Jan 14 14:51:22 <morphis> you have to use adb
Jan 14 14:51:41 <ichthys> ahhh ok ..... adb it is then .... thanks ....
Jan 14 14:57:49 <ichthys> Morphis : I think I need to get back to work. I shall try and get back to the LED extension either today or tomorrow. Whats the bug tracker number for the LED stuff ?
Jan 14 15:08:16 <morphis> ichthys: not created yet, need to do that
Jan 14 15:10:10 <ichthys> Morphis : Ok sure ..... I'll take a look later then
Jan 14 15:10:48 <morphis> ichthys: http://issues.webos-ports.org/issues/813
Jan 14 15:10:51 <morphis> will extend it later
Jan 14 15:11:24 <ichthys> Morphis : Thanks ! will look at 813 at home later ... cheers thanks . Ping you later !
Jan 14 15:14:48 <morphis> ichthys: ok!
Jan 14 15:58:47 <Garfonso> morphis: pong
Jan 14 15:58:56 <Garfonso> sounds great. :)
Jan 14 16:11:36 <Garfonso> let's see, if I manage to build that.. hm.
Jan 14 16:36:42 <morphis> Garfonso: I need to fine tune it a bit but can integrate it soon
Jan 14 16:40:37 <DougReeder> Morphis, JaMa, It would make sense to distribute bleeding-edge Sampler through our Preware feed, but 2.4 Sampler and 2.5.1.1 Sampler will never change, so they could be part of the build.
Jan 14 16:41:13 <morphis> DougReeder: idea to distribute all through preware was that don't have to include them in any image and users can install them when needed in every image
Jan 14 16:41:51 <DougReeder> It’s true that most users shouldn’t need them.
Jan 14 16:43:55 <morphis> DougReeder: so we're going this way?
Jan 14 16:46:26 <DougReeder> I’m cool with either way.
Jan 14 16:49:09 <DougReeder> JaMa, you’re just the man we need!
Jan 14 16:49:38 <morphis> DougReeder: then lets add them to preware
Jan 14 16:50:12 * JaMa hides
Jan 14 16:50:36 <morphis> DougReeder: in preware you can use git submodules update safely :)
Jan 14 16:50:50 <DougReeder> That’s useful.
Jan 14 16:52:21 <DougReeder> JaMa, are you cool with distibuting the Samplers via our Preware feed?
Jan 14 16:54:24 <morphis> DougReeder: you know how to add things there?
Jan 14 16:54:35 <DougReeder> I think so.
Jan 14 16:57:28 <JaMa> yes
Jan 14 16:59:56 <morphis> DougReeder: then just give me a PR and we're all happy :D
Jan 14 17:00:01 <DougReeder> Then we have a consensus.
Jan 14 17:10:20 <sugardave> the consensus taker came by my house, but we hid
Jan 14 20:25:18 <Tofe> morphis: https://github.com/webOS-ports/luna-next-cardshell/pull/172
Jan 14 20:25:40 <Tofe> though I couldn't get a parentWinId to be set on my N4, I don't know why it didn't work
