Jul 06 10:26:03 <pancake> is community edition suposed to be a full opensource webos that can be ported to other devices?
Jul 06 10:28:13 <hucksy> that should be openwebos i think
Jul 06 10:29:07 <hucksy> community edition = open source version for current devices afaik
Jul 06 10:32:07 <pancake> ok
Jul 06 10:32:29 <pancake> is there any project aiming to port webos to n900 or other devices
Jul 06 10:32:29 <pancake> ?
Jul 06 12:29:14 <bigbluehat> pancake: I think Stskeeps in #mer would have some interest in that
Jul 06 12:36:07 <pancake> bigbluehat: im sure there will be lot of people like him :)
Jul 06 12:36:12 <pancake> just wondering if someone did it
Jul 06 12:36:39 <bigbluehat> well, he's building mer, runs it on his touchpad, and tracks webOS project pretty closely
Jul 06 12:36:45 <bigbluehat> so if anyone could tell you if it's possible, he could :)
Jul 06 14:50:48 <gandhijee_> is there a limit on how much memory my application can ask for?
Jul 06 15:33:57 <gandhijee_> do C applications have to adhear to the timeout stuff that javascript does.
Jul 06 15:56:24 <fxspec06> no
Jul 06 15:56:46 <fxspec06> and there are no timeout stuff any more with webos 3.0.4
Jul 06 16:56:37 <matthew-> ok, I have a pre3. html geolocation api seems to give the correct latitude, but the longitude is missing the '-' sign - i.e. it has me east of greenwhich instead of west. Is this a known bug?
Jul 06 17:44:23 <RagingMind> matthew-, there was a bug with locations in the southern hemisphere a long while back, but to my knowledge that one was fixed.  I haven't heard anyone mention your issue yet
Jul 06 20:23:23 <gandhijee_> hmm
Jul 06 20:23:41 <gandhijee_> i have a simple C program that tries to allocate 300Megs of memory.
Jul 06 20:23:55 <gandhijee_> it seems to cause the device to throw a message about too many cards
Jul 06 20:26:36 <gandhijee_> then reboots....
Jul 06 20:28:39 <dwc-> maybe you shouldn't do that then
Jul 06 20:30:08 <gandhijee_> dwc-: well thats not a good explanation on why it does that.
Jul 06 20:30:19 <gandhijee_> specially since the system says it has over 600 megs free
Jul 06 20:32:47 <dwc-> wow, none of mine have 600mb free
Jul 06 20:37:06 <gandhijee_>              total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Jul 06 20:37:06 <gandhijee_> Mem:           919        292        627          0          8         91
Jul 06 20:37:06 <gandhijee_> -/+ buffers/cache:        191        727
Jul 06 20:37:06 <gandhijee_> Swap:          399         67        332
Jul 06 20:37:29 <gandhijee_> don't know what you are doing with yours then
Jul 06 20:37:38 <gandhijee_> all of mine have that much at fresh boot.
Jul 06 20:37:47 <gandhijee_> never really seem to drop below 500 to often
Jul 06 20:45:56 <dwc-> I must actually run stuff
Jul 06 20:46:13 <dwc-> there's an app thing and a browser thing, they total ~600
Jul 06 20:57:19 <EricBlade> halfhalo: after working flawlessly yesterday for quite some time, that node service is now completely locking up and not returning any result, and the timeout code on the services is never returning
Jul 06 20:58:29 <EricBlade> except, it's not the second process that's failing, it's the first one somehow
Jul 06 22:12:37 <RagingMind> gandhijee_, there's a setting for that
Jul 06 22:13:25 <RagingMind> I remember reading that some pdk apps would crash, but there was a solution by editing a file to tell webos that it was gonna use more memory
Jul 06 22:14:55 <RagingMind> gandhijee_, http://www.webosnation.com/prevent-pdk-app-crashes-your-touchpad-homebrew
Jul 06 22:28:29 <gandhijee_> RagingMind: Thanks, i'll take a peak at that.... but this isn't even a pdk app... its literally a C program compiled with the sdk toolchain, then copied to the device and run from the console.
Jul 06 22:30:10 <gandhijee_> yeah, unfortunately this seems to deal with editing the appinfo.json file, which my program doesn't have...
Jul 06 22:30:20 <EricBlade> hey guys the power button on my Pre- has gone dead, any suggestions for taking it apart and possibly getting it to work again?
Jul 06 22:34:30 <dwc-> take it apart and make it work again ;)
Jul 07 00:21:02 <EricBlade> dwc-: yeah i'm just wondering if anyoen has done a similar operation here, since it's been years since i've really taken anything apart
Jul 07 00:48:44 <krushia> is it possible to install ares on my own development box?
Jul 07 00:52:41 <EricBlade> you can with ares 2.0, although i have no idea how far along that actually is, if it's something that's useable yet
Jul 07 01:03:20 <bnceo> EricBlade: the piece that has the power button could be dead
Jul 07 01:03:26 <bnceo> like damaged or worn out. happens
Jul 07 01:03:51 <bnceo> or the actual button got mis aligned and isn't hitting the cable that has the little power button
Jul 07 01:04:01 <EricBlade> yeah there's no clicky to it anymore at all .. i hope i can get it up and running, i don't want to have to move the gf to android
Jul 07 01:53:28 <Loudergood> EricBlade: Pre2 is getting really cheap
Jul 07 01:53:58 <Loudergood> recently move my gf to android..what a mess...
Jul 07 01:54:57 <EricBlade> yeah i jsut got this spare EVO as a dev thing for android, she was like "I'll take it!" then looked at it and said "Android? yuck"
Jul 07 01:57:15 <Loudergood> she really pushed for a hardware keyboard on a budget
Jul 07 01:57:34 <Loudergood> phone has like 128MB of onboard storage and an SD slot
Jul 07 01:58:00 <Loudergood> turns out that half the apps she wants to use insist on staying on board
Jul 07 01:58:20 <Loudergood> now I have to find a time to root it and sort that out
Jul 07 02:07:58 <EricBlade> according to my evo it has 8gig sd .. but i can't find an sd slot on ti
Jul 07 02:40:42 <EricBlade> i showed a guy at the bar tap-to-share last night, he was blown away .. i was like.. really?
