**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Aug 02 02:59:57 2009 Aug 02 03:00:27 does anyone know where the events are? Aug 02 03:00:41 what events? Aug 02 03:02:30 any events Aug 02 03:09:08 there are a lot of events Aug 02 03:09:16 linux events Aug 02 03:09:19 mojo events Aug 02 03:09:22 power events Aug 02 03:09:26 button press events Aug 02 03:09:30 switch events Aug 02 03:09:34 what'cha looking for Aug 02 03:09:43 network related events Aug 02 03:09:50 be more specific again Aug 02 03:10:12 IP, DNS etc Aug 02 03:10:42 what about those things? You want an announcement to binary or to mojo, when it changes, when wifi comes up... what? Aug 02 03:10:52 all those things will have very very different answers Aug 02 03:11:35 I guess experience is the best teacher I will blunder through somethings until I know what I am looking for Aug 02 03:11:40 thanks rick Aug 02 03:12:47 uh ok. but what are you trying to ACCOMPLISH? Aug 02 03:13:32 I am trying to figure out what even controls the Ip adress info Aug 02 03:14:09 PmNetworkManger or some such Aug 02 03:14:11 lemme see Aug 02 03:14:36 /usr/bin/PmConnectionManager Aug 02 03:14:43 and /usr/bin/PmNetConfigManager Aug 02 03:15:01 ty Aug 02 03:16:53 does anyone know where the original 1.1 app files are online? Aug 02 03:36:13 ping mrvc Aug 02 03:39:25 bzhou * r10523 optware/trunk/make/quagga.mk - quagga: 0.99.4 -> 0.99.14 Aug 02 03:49:15 ~seen mrvc Aug 02 03:49:19 mrvc is currently on #webos-internals (1d 13h 31m 35s), last said: 'night Puff'. Aug 02 03:49:39 hai gais :D Aug 02 03:58:20 Zuchmir2: hey Aug 02 04:04:43 mrvc: was wondering about the ansidefault... Aug 02 04:04:55 did u add that? Aug 02 04:05:12 Zuchmir2: no, not sure what you mean Aug 02 04:06:04 ... someone cleaned up alot of whitespace, but CharBuffer() now has: Aug 02 04:06:08 _active_fg_color(ansiDefault), _active_bg_color(ansiBlack), _default_fg_color(ansiGreen), _default_bg_color(ansiDefault), Aug 02 04:06:12 I see active_fg_color is being set to ansiDefault initially Aug 02 04:06:39 yeah, which is 9, (9 & 7) = 7 Aug 02 04:06:58 so it's white Aug 02 04:06:58 Looks like Ryan Hope added that Aug 02 04:07:43 ok, i'm gonna change some code, so that the default colors will actualy change in real time if we ever get the card to not be destroyed Aug 02 04:08:40 ok Aug 02 04:10:01 also, now when u flip sideways, it stty -a still says row=46, cols=40 Aug 02 04:11:17 Zuchmir2: I don't see anything handling orientationChanged anymore Aug 02 04:12:12 yeah, i know, it has to go back in Aug 02 04:12:53 The old code would resize the plugin when an orientation change happened Aug 02 04:13:14 Which would end up updated the stty settings on the next SetWindow Aug 02 04:13:27 updating Aug 02 04:13:43 ... was also thinking of handling eStrikeThrough/eInverse/eUnderline Aug 02 04:14:21 Zuchmir2: yep, sounds good Aug 02 04:14:49 I've had company over and haven't been able to work on it much Aug 02 04:16:00 ok, np Aug 02 04:18:35 hmm, how do i get the "settings" to take affect now? Aug 02 04:20:44 Zuchmir2: yeah, I'm not sure. I would think the plugin instance would have to be passed to the preferences assistant, but I'm not sure if that is the right way to do it Aug 02 04:21:49 ... at the moment it only takes effect on the *next* open window Aug 02 04:24:40 so, maybe there would be a global variable that held a list of the plugin instances Aug 02 04:24:51 can it watch a config entry somehow? Aug 02 04:24:51 and when a preference changed, it would iterate through that and update each instance Aug 02 04:25:33 tmzt: possibly, I'm not familiar with how that would work Aug 02 04:26:39 in theory: u can have a globa; "list of obj", and itterate through each of them with the call to setColors() Aug 02 04:27:07 mrvc: just pushed an update with ansiDefault support Aug 02 04:27:46 ok Aug 02 04:28:35 maybe setColors() should take an optional 3rd param inidcating all instances? Aug 02 04:31:19 so, keep the instance list the plugin? makes sense I guess Aug 02 04:31:46 it means that the preferences would have to have access to one particular instance Aug 02 04:32:43 not sure how that would work, but i guees it's doable Aug 02 04:33:56 Zuchmir2: yeah, I'm not sure either Aug 02 04:34:08 hii Aug 02 04:34:35 Zuchmir2: It is probably the case that they prefer mvc type interaction Aug 02 04:34:59 where each instance would be observing the properties for changes Aug 02 04:35:11 and that might be easy to do, I just haven't looked into it yet Aug 02 04:42:52 can anyone off the top of their head name the location of libpirana? :-/ Aug 02 04:50:19 mrvc: should underline/strikethrough be the fgColor or an arbitrary color? Aug 02 04:50:32 fgColor Aug 02 04:50:44 ok Aug 02 04:51:02 i'm about to push inverse/undeline/strikethough Aug 02 04:56:02 Zuchmir2: nice Aug 02 04:56:16 Zuchmir2: I've got to go for tonight Aug 02 04:56:44 Zuchmir2: hopefully I can get more involved again soon Aug 02 04:58:10 ok, good night Aug 02 05:01:02 http://forums.precentral.net/homebrew-apps/196307-preload-beta-pimp-my-pre-homebrew-app-store.html Aug 02 05:01:05 you guys see that? Aug 02 05:40:13 interesting. altho now i'm too tired to play with that after a day of wake boarding Aug 02 06:50:43 cheers to whoever got the terminal working. Aug 02 06:51:34 jjore: thanks -- there have been several people who have contributed Aug 02 06:51:51 i'm in a bar, far from irc and using my normal emacs irc to tell you this Aug 02 06:52:05 it's very nice Aug 02 06:54:12 jjore: yeah, agree. I'm at defcon in vegas and do much the same (though I'm on from pidgin at the moment) Aug 02 06:55:42 defcon? bleh. that perlmonks leak has been a PITA. Aug 02 06:56:57 wow, I can't believe I didn't hear about it until now Aug 02 06:59:31 tho being unable have the leak would have been a major PITA too, allegedly. Aug 02 07:07:56 uhh its 40x40 even in landscape Aug 02 07:12:31 every time you gesture back from the prefs menu it resets to login prompt Aug 02 07:12:38 sigh Aug 02 07:16:32 Robi_: yes, alas Aug 02 07:24:22 is jrg here? Aug 02 07:28:01 * rwhitby wonders what the Beezlewaxin and the GakAsterman drivers referred to by caleb_ are ... Aug 02 07:31:28 heh, now it's pimpmypre vs precentral ... Aug 02 07:31:51 so much wasted individual effort all trying to achieve the same thing ... Aug 02 09:44:05 Here's the feed format for pimpmypre's PreLoad application: Aug 02 09:44:07 http://pimpmypre.com/data/repo.get.php?cat=applications Aug 02 09:45:01 sigh - another non-standard way of publishing an ipkg feed. Aug 02 10:50:25 is there a way to list all the possible calls to a service like palm.com.display? Aug 02 10:50:50 I can use dbus-util to monitor it, but I don't know how to make it list all the possible options Aug 02 10:53:17 Is there anyone here? Aug 02 10:57:45 Possibly its 4am, or possibly I don't know how to use this new IRC client. Anyway, I'd be very greatful if Aug 02 10:57:45 someone could get back to me on the question if they get a chance at some point. Send me a message either on Aug 02 10:57:45 the forums or wiki; same username as here Aug 02 10:58:20 Also, I've been looking through the api listings and I can't seem to find a way to tell when the slider Aug 02 10:58:20 opens/closes. Any ideas? Aug 02 10:58:23 Thanks in advance. Aug 02 10:58:24 there is a way Aug 02 10:58:29 look into dbus introspection Aug 02 11:00:56 ok, thanks. it looks like I need to get the dbus module and I should be able to play around with that posted Aug 02 11:00:56 python code Aug 02 11:01:54 zinge: please keep the wiki up to date with what you find Aug 02 11:02:43 you might want to talk to the freesmartphone.org guys - they use dbus for everything in their system, so should have some good tools for debugging Aug 02 11:04:46 Okay, I'll take a look over there tomorrow. Thanks. That reminds me, I need to update the wiki page on Aug 02 11:04:46 keyboard/display brightness now that I have my app semi-working. I'll post the luna-send calls for now; should Aug 02 11:04:46 I post the app link once its up in the forum on that page as well? Aug 02 11:07:18 please don't use a generic service running as root Aug 02 11:07:28 sorry? Aug 02 11:07:42 export the calls over dbus to actually change the settings (like SetBrightness or whatever) Aug 02 11:07:50 I am Aug 02 11:08:01 I'm not using any service Aug 02 11:08:07 That's why I wanted to post it Aug 02 11:08:14 and the app; to show an example of it being used Aug 02 11:08:15 rather than .Execute("echo 255 > /sys/class/graphics/*/brightness"); Aug 02 11:08:17 ah Aug 02 11:08:17 ok Aug 02 11:08:21 luna-send -n 1 palm://com.palm.power/backlight/set '{"keypad":{"brightness":10}}' Aug 02 11:08:23 how are you doing it then? Aug 02 11:08:25 etc Aug 02 11:08:25 ok Aug 02 11:08:26 cool Aug 02 11:08:32 Palm provides the service Aug 02 11:08:38 Yes Aug 02 11:08:38 Kinda Aug 02 11:09:01 Its only half working at the moment; palms brightness app sets com.palm.display maxBrightness Aug 02 11:09:16 which is then used to update com.palm.power keypad and display brightness Aug 02 11:09:28 so the way I'm doing only works until a "power event" happens Aug 02 11:09:36 such as standby, display dimming, or slider closing Aug 02 11:09:43 but it does work Aug 02 11:10:22 I tried dbus-util --capture on com.palm.power and com.palm.display and started changing settings Aug 02 11:10:27 and saw what it was calling Aug 02 11:10:33 and wrote those calls into an app Aug 02 11:11:10 I also tried firing off the flash from the camera app, and hitting the gesture bar to turn on the gesture Aug 02 11:11:10 leds, but those didn't trigger any dbus calls, unfortunately Aug 02 11:11:29 otherwise there would have been an easy way to rewrite the flashlight app to not require a service Aug 02 11:13:01 I want to get the dbus introspection stuff working so that I can look through palm.com.display calls and see Aug 02 11:13:01 if there is a better way to set the brightness of the keyboard and display Aug 02 11:13:08 and that way it will follow the power events Aug 02 11:13:12 instead of being reset by them Aug 02 11:16:05 I was wondering about capturing slider events for the same app Aug 02 11:16:47 I remember someone saying there was a way to show how many times your slider had been opened and closed; Aug 02 11:16:47 anyone remember where that is? Aug 02 11:17:01 no idea Aug 02 11:20:10 How about this: import dbus in python is giving me "ImportError: No module named dbus". Any idea where I can Aug 02 11:20:10 find and download the python dbus module? Aug 02 11:22:09 from ipkg Aug 02 11:22:10 I think Aug 02 11:24:25 hmm... how about on windows? Aug 02 11:24:38 The only linux machine I have available is my Pre. Aug 02 11:25:55 Just grab VirtualBox and run Linux in a VM =) Aug 02 11:27:54 there is no dbus on windows Aug 02 11:28:13 well, there can be but I don't belive python bindings exist yet Aug 02 11:28:23 Great... ok. Time to go install a virtual machine again. Aug 02 11:28:33 Well, thats my plan for tomorrow. Aug 02 11:28:37 Thanks for the help. Aug 02 11:28:45 See ya. Sleep now. Aug 02 11:30:40 colinux is good Aug 02 11:30:41 fast Aug 02 11:30:48 for console stuff Aug 02 11:31:45 "In its current condition, it allows us to run the KNOPPIX Japanese Edition"- Do I need to speak Japanese? :-) Aug 02 11:33:41 no Aug 02 11:33:41 use the installer Aug 02 11:33:41 tha's very old Aug 02 11:36:29 the installer being coLinux.exe I'm assuming? Aug 02 11:37:08 Looks like I can poll the slider state and detect changes from within an app. Aug 02 11:37:24 Its being done in the Device Info> Interactive Tests Aug 02 11:38:09 Seems like I can subscribe to palm://com.palm.keys/switches to detect it Aug 02 11:39:27 palm://com.palm.hidd looks interesting too Aug 02 11:40:03 I really need to get that dbus introspection code running. Thanks for the coLinux tip. I'll work on that stuff Aug 02 11:40:03 tomorrow. Going to sleep now. Really. Aug 02 11:40:29 oh, physical slider Aug 02 11:40:30 ah Aug 02 11:40:48 Yeah, thats what I meant by keyboard slider, sorry. Aug 02 11:42:22 G'nite. Aug 02 11:52:11 if anyone can try this: people.openezx.org/tmzt/fbflip11.c Aug 02 11:52:22 it needs the event device changed and luna and hidd killed Aug 02 12:38:50 wow anyone here actually gone through the WebOS book since it went to production? Aug 02 12:43:25 (please don't test that code, I will post a 565 version later) Aug 02 12:52:26 tmzt: what is that supposed to do? Aug 02 12:52:39 just change colors on the screen Aug 02 12:52:45 not very useful itself Aug 02 12:53:06 on the pre? Aug 02 12:53:19 on whatever Aug 02 12:53:28 it won't work on pre until I make those change though Aug 02 12:53:40 it also needs some constants and strings changed Aug 02 12:54:06 ok, was wondering how you are drawing to screen w/o handles Aug 02 12:54:42 handles? Aug 02 12:54:56 do you know how those work on webos you are saying? Aug 02 12:56:53 no Aug 02 12:57:21 until now we were doing things in plugins, which give us access to screen Aug 02 12:57:23 what ae you referring to? Aug 02 12:57:33 yes, this is not about plugins Aug 02 12:57:39 this is without luna running Aug 02 12:57:44 more low-level Aug 02 12:58:04 I really want to see how fast it can be Aug 02 12:58:06 that's what i thought Aug 02 12:58:17 but I don't have the right code for 16bit framebuffers yet Aug 02 12:58:20 I have to add it Aug 02 12:58:27 but u would somehow have to kill luna, and grab screen Aug 02 12:58:36 as well as the pan flipping iotcl Aug 02 12:58:39 ioctl Aug 02 12:58:41 what? Aug 02 12:58:49 I use the screen the same way luna does Aug 02 12:58:58 ok, got you Aug 02 12:58:58 through the linux framebuffer memory device Aug 02 14:29:57 whats good Aug 02 14:46:24 Filename Type Size Used Priority Aug 02 14:46:37 hrm Aug 02 14:46:48 /dev/mapper/store-swap partition 131064 0 -1 Aug 02 14:47:02 0 used?

Aug 02 15:02:32 please don't redefine meanings Aug 02 15:02:42 it's there to help people help answer questions Aug 02 15:02:45 ~webos Aug 02 15:02:46 from memory, webos is the linux-based operating system of the Pre and later handsets by Palm, Inc. Aug 02 15:03:03 Heh Aug 02 15:04:51 swap space is pissy Aug 02 15:11:03 yea i have questions in #webos :D Aug 02 15:11:13 someone please look if you are familiar with lists :) Aug 02 15:29:20 my girlfriend stabbed me Aug 02 15:29:41 in the arm with a carving fork Aug 02 15:29:58 You sure have a nice gf ;> Aug 02 15:30:04 yeah, thats what i thought Aug 02 16:21:59 who is working on Terminal here? Well done! Aug 02 16:22:53 mrvc and Zuchmir2 i think are the main developers Aug 02 16:23:34 thanks! Aug 02 16:24:50 mrvc, Zuchmir2: With Terminal the circle is complete. We have a true linux box. Aug 02 16:25:28 mrvc, is the 80col font just the 40 decimated down or is it a true font? Aug 02 16:26:10 i still havent tried terminal.. tho i prolly will today... i rooted yesterday Aug 02 16:26:20 i ask because i would love to add a ~ 60 col font, seems it might be a sweet spot for readability and usability. Aug 02 16:26:42 dreadchicken: it is a separate font Aug 02 16:27:24 hey, stupid Q... upgrading a homebrew app, should i delete the old version, or will it upgrade the existing app like a computer? Aug 02 16:27:31 nm, i just found the font.xpm's Aug 02 16:28:59 so has everyone gone to ipkg -o /var over ipkg-opt? Aug 02 16:29:12 they're two different systems' Aug 02 16:29:49 ipkg-opt is used for system software, whereas ipkg is how palm installs packages .. which is why homebrew uses the same system Aug 02 16:30:15 gotcha, so we are split ipkg's, ipkg-opt for system, ipkg -o /var for apps? Aug 02 16:33:00 dreadchicken: feel free to make the font, we'll try to incorporate it Aug 02 16:33:26 Zuchmir2, how did you create the fonts? you do it by hand or use a tool? Aug 02 16:35:38 thinking of a font in the range [5-6]x[5-8]. Aug 02 16:39:44 5x7 would be 64 cols Aug 02 16:51:27 just tried terminal.. totally awesome software Aug 02 16:54:20 wow Aug 02 16:54:27 terminal is great Aug 02 16:54:49 BitchX-1.1-final+ by panasync - Linux 2.6.24-palm-joplin-3430 Aug 02 16:54:54 kickass Aug 02 17:02:48 no way Aug 02 17:02:57 bitchx on the pre? Aug 02 17:04:38 dreadchicken: i'm not sure who created these font and/or how they did them Aug 02 17:05:01 Zuchmir2, thx...google() it is then. Aug 02 17:05:18 ...or anyone know how to create a font xpm from a pcf or other font format? Aug 02 17:05:46 Terminal kicks much ass, killer app from my perspective. Aug 02 17:05:58 no need for a ssh client when you have the real deal. Aug 02 17:07:43 box: how did u get BitchX on the pre? Aug 02 17:07:50 ive already got terminal :D Aug 02 17:07:53 love it Aug 02 17:08:04 dreadchicken: actually, the smaller font was done by tris Aug 02 17:08:57 http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/cs08q1armel/cross/stable/bitchx_1.1a-final-1_arm.ipk Aug 02 17:09:16 x11 used to have xpm fonts, looking around in there.

Aug 02 17:36:56 hmm Aug 02 17:37:46 wonder if can do it the old fasioned way.. grab the arm proc tarball and compile it :P Aug 02 17:38:02 nope.. no make Aug 02 17:39:00 ohh precompiled binaries. Aug 02 17:41:37 ftoping it over, lets see if this works :D Aug 02 17:43:14 oh cmon now! Aug 02 17:43:15 bscabl@castle:~$ tar -zxvf bitchx-1.1nb3.tgz Aug 02 17:43:15 tar: corrupted octal value in tar header Aug 02 17:45:55 uhm fresh download, still corrupt Aug 02 17:46:03 i guess i wasnt meant to have bitchx :P Aug 02 18:13:39 i *hate* palm's indonesian tech support Aug 02 18:18:36 has anyone used the beezlewaxin or GakAsterman drivers for the Pre ? Aug 02 18:23:24 drivers ? Aug 02 18:23:28 yes Aug 02 18:24:03 diagnostic mode drivers for Windows XP Aug 02 18:24:30 diagnostic or dev mode ? Aug 02 18:25:11 not sure I understand the distinction. I want to log the device messaging Aug 02 18:25:21 over usb ? Aug 02 18:25:24 yes Aug 02 18:25:42 i wrote up a bunch of stuff on novacom dumps Aug 02 18:25:51 is it possible to have apps that could tap into the linux side of things in the phone, so like apps can use the LEDs on the phone? Aug 02 18:26:24 bpadalino: i need to be able to log it using QXDM Aug 02 18:26:31 QXDM ? Aug 02 18:26:52 a program that captures messaging from devices over USB Aug 02 18:27:03 oh, novacom definitely isn't that Aug 02 18:27:07 right Aug 02 18:27:13 can anyone please give me the location of libpirahna? Aug 02 18:27:18 you want to place that inbetween the OMAP and the Modem Aug 02 18:27:22 which is also connected over usb Aug 02 18:27:37 i wasn't sure whether this is the right room for such a question. please let me know if there's a better forum Aug 02 18:28:05 *shrug* i am not sure really Aug 02 18:28:51 :( Aug 02 18:28:56 noone knows? Aug 02 18:29:12 Hyperian, i don't think they expose the interface to webos .. Aug 02 18:29:20 but you can write a service for that interface and run it Aug 02 18:32:11 ....no one knows where libpirahna is? O_O Aug 02 18:32:32 clebio: Some versions of libpcap under Linux include support for capturing on USB Aug 02 18:33:09 You could use something like a VMware product or VirtualBox to connect to the device, and use Wireshark or TCPdump on the host to dump the USB traffic Aug 02 18:33:35 aYellowBanana, it should be in /usr/lib/libPiranha.so i think Aug 02 18:33:47 yes, I could. But QXDM is a much more elegant solution, when available Aug 02 18:33:52 bpadalino, thank you, I will check that out Aug 02 18:34:20 clebio, the qualcomm part is not exposed to the USB interface on the pre .. Aug 02 18:34:37 bpadalino: how hard is that to do? Aug 02 18:34:52 hyperian, there are example services in the git repo Aug 02 18:35:38 well, i've heard there was a program prior to the launch of the app store that enabled that access, but it's since been removed Aug 02 18:36:09 clebio, i am still not sure exactly what you want to see or what your end goal is Aug 02 18:36:39 i want to see and capture the OTA messaging from the device Aug 02 18:37:33 yeah - i'd look at how you can sniff the usb interface between the OMAP and the modem .. Aug 02 18:38:14 that QXDM would be nice if you could actually run it on a linux arm7 machine Aug 02 18:39:24 so, regardless of the objective, no one has used the beezlewaxin or GakAsterman drivers ? Aug 02 18:39:51 apparently not - have a link ? Aug 02 18:40:35 oh it looks like that exposes the interface over usb Aug 02 18:40:38 the first is here: http://forums.precentral.net/palm-pre/188038-palm-pre-usb-tethering-dun.html Aug 02 18:41:16 basically, if i go into novaterm and run "mpt diag userial", the device switches modes. Then Windows XP starts looking for drivers for the new mode Aug 02 18:41:25 bpadalino: where's the git repo? Aug 02 18:41:30 check "mpt --help" before running that command, btw Aug 02 18:41:59 Hyperian: http://gitorious.org/webos-internals/ Aug 02 18:42:07 clebio, ah - neat .. mpt .. haven't played with that one yet Aug 02 18:44:21 movie time Aug 02 18:45:51 eh... Aug 02 18:45:56 how do i download those git files.. Aug 02 18:46:50 well, off to try it again.... Aug 02 18:59:01 Hyperian: with git Aug 02 19:05:10 the menu in the "new look" terminal, doesn't work :-( Aug 02 19:20:45 Installed Optware and Quilt, disabled dev mode, restarted, but can't ssh to Pre. Linux box and Pre are both being assigned 192.168 IPs by my router. I don't think packets are reaching the Pre. Aug 02 19:21:06 port 222 Aug 02 19:21:19 Right Aug 02 19:23:11 Pre has wifi enabled and can make an http connection to linux. Aug 02 19:23:32 is the pre sleeping? Aug 02 19:24:03 pre is just not accepting ssh? Aug 02 19:24:12 bring up novaterm and verify ssh running? Aug 02 19:25:40 ssh should work even without USB connected right? whereas novaterm only works when USB is connected? Aug 02 19:28:07 novaterm 'unable to find device'. Is that because dev mode is off? Aug 02 19:28:08 right Aug 02 19:28:30 yea i think novaterm only works with dev mode on Aug 02 19:29:15 you verify the ipaddress of the pre Aug 02 19:30:18 When I used the Pre browser to look at a web page on my linux box, apache logged the IP address of the router rather than the Pre. Aug 02 19:31:04 However, looking at the router web page (tomato) tells me the Pre IP is what I think it is. Aug 02 19:34:48 Okay, enabled dev mode, reset, novaterm, and ps does NOT show sshd. Aug 02 19:34:53 hmmm novaterm and verify dropbear running Aug 02 19:35:40 dropbear is running, and has a -p 222 arg Aug 02 19:38:10 ifconfig verifies ip address Aug 02 19:38:49 It shows 192.168.218.140 as I expect, for eth0. Aug 02 19:40:01 hmmm. ssh -p 222 192.168.218.140 from your linux box on the LAN doesn't respond? Aug 02 19:40:15 I'm running out of ideas, anyone else got any? Aug 02 19:41:14 Yes, it is responding now. Now it is dev mode and connected via USB. I can undo those things one at a time and see what happens. Aug 02 19:42:19 i'm suspecting the pre went to sleep Aug 02 19:42:27 when it does, wifi shuts off Aug 02 19:42:28 Disconnected USB and now ssh is not responding. I wonder if the linux box routing gets messed up. At one point that IP is found via the USB cable, and later I expect it to be found via wireless. Aug 02 19:43:04 Ah, you are right. If I wake the Pre, ssh works, even with no USB. Aug 02 19:44:15 :) nice. And if you want to increase the "stay awake" time from the maximum of 3 minutes... http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Changing_the_%22Turn_off_after_X%22_time Aug 02 19:44:58 http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Changing_the_"Turn_off_after_X"_time Aug 02 19:45:37 Thanks. Will the touchstone keep it awake enough to keep wifi on? Aug 02 19:46:11 i believe the touchstone keeps it awake yes, but I do not have one so can't verify, only what I've been told Aug 02 19:46:35 lordbah: yes Aug 02 19:48:53 Hmm. rootfs_open not found. Aug 02 19:51:53 Found it. /usr/sbin not on root's path? Aug 02 19:52:08 not in your unprivledged user's path Aug 02 19:54:51 Could someone please shed some light on this? http://webos.pastebin.com/m2dfaaec4 Aug 02 19:55:45 Ah instructions must be wanting to use sudo to get a shell, not on each command (which is what I'm used to doing). Aug 02 19:58:12 Thanks for your help. Aug 02 20:50:21 raeb2: ping Aug 02 20:51:32 anything interesting going on in the webos hacking world? Aug 02 20:53:02 <_aa_> Aloha Aug 02 20:53:10 hello Aug 02 20:55:29 by the way everyone who's talking about bitchX, It's not being maintained, I recommend irssi Aug 02 21:01:58 Hi Aug 02 21:02:28 I'm trying to root my pre and I'm on step Get the rooter from subversion: http://svn.saurik.com/repos/webos-dev/trunk/rooter/. Does this mean download all the files in that repo onto my local computer? Aug 02 21:04:02 thefoot: i dont think you need that anymore, since you can just use the sdk Aug 02 21:04:09 oh.. Aug 02 21:04:12 thefoot: check out webos-internals.org Aug 02 21:04:13 Good day to everyone Aug 02 21:04:28 http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Portal:Accessing_Linux Aug 02 21:04:35 I'm on Win7 I properly installed the novaterm Aug 02 21:05:48 okay thanks i'll give it a shot Aug 02 21:40:39 <_aa_> I think my router is screwed up Aug 02 21:53:35 <_aa_> so what does /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.youtube/test/register/youtube_enc.py do? Aug 02 21:54:32 hey can someone tell me the command to kill/ restart LunaSysMgr Aug 02 21:54:49 joesmith: do Aug 02 21:54:58 stop LunaSysMgr & start LunaSysMgr Aug 02 21:55:08 you can type is all on the same line Aug 02 21:55:11 really that was easy Aug 02 21:55:23 * joesmith hits staples button on desk Aug 02 21:55:39 lol Aug 02 21:55:56 _aa_: looks like something to develop something of some sort Aug 02 21:56:15 a staples app saying that was easy nice :) Aug 02 21:56:19 are there any tutorials for adding space to /var ? Aug 02 21:56:30 <_aa_> encryption keys and stuff Aug 02 22:19:31 luna-send -n 1 palm://com.palm.applicationManager/rescan {} Aug 02 22:19:36 whopps ;< Aug 02 22:42:56 nhahn there are Aug 02 22:48:26 anyone familiar with drawes, i posted a question in the other channel :D Aug 02 22:48:33 i know not many are paying attn over there lately lol Aug 02 22:57:32 we know if it safe to passwd root these days? Aug 02 22:57:44 ^ as in, any comment from palm? Aug 02 22:59:37 My root has a 9 character password, why would palm say anything? Aug 02 22:59:54 just remember your password if you do set one Aug 02 23:01:51 jesus christ, look at all the errors I found in the latest WebOS book over the last 2 days on the first 100 pages Aug 02 23:01:51 http://oreilly.com/catalog/errataunconfirmed.csp?isbn=9780596155254 Aug 02 23:02:16 is the actual book out yet jcraw? Aug 02 23:02:27 funny no one else has added any errors :) Aug 02 23:02:39 joesmith: not yet but i believe it is going to production as is Aug 02 23:02:47 I say what you had done, good job on quality control Aug 02 23:02:53 which pisses me off personally because of all the mistakes Aug 02 23:03:07 they rushed it too much Aug 02 23:03:14 yeah it annoys me too as I plan on buying it Aug 02 23:04:03 and I am new to programming so it will just be something to trip me up Aug 02 23:04:03 well as it stands now it's not completely a lead by example, you will spend some time figuring out the errors and why your code will not work when you did it JUST as you were told by the book :) Aug 02 23:04:25 one thing i can say is that it is kinda making me a better programmer having to debug it heh Aug 02 23:04:47 well at least we have you ;) to point out the errors Aug 02 23:07:31 there _is_ a working copy on precentral. :-) Aug 02 23:07:45 you could just diff that and their copy.... :-P Aug 02 23:08:37 shit Aug 02 23:09:30 they tell you to call code like this closeAddHandler = this.closeAddHandler.bindAsEventListener(this); but in the chapter they never show you the code for that event handler... Even funnier.. It's not in Appendix D which is supposed to be the full source code for the application built through the book Aug 02 23:09:48 Rick__: working copy of what? Aug 02 23:11:43 yes working copy? Aug 02 23:12:03 grr it's packaged in an ipk Aug 02 23:12:10 how can i extract it from the ipk? Aug 02 23:12:38 got it :D Aug 02 23:15:38 hmm they don't bind the event handler Aug 02 23:16:28 looks like somewhere along the way they end up removing this drawer anyway as it is not in the finished source code :( Aug 02 23:16:50 so i am at a loss or will have to research drawers and create my own closeAddFeedDrawer event method :D Aug 02 23:21:42 odd the feed list has badges with unread counts they work fine until I add this to the feedListWgtModel addItemLabel: "Add...", Aug 02 23:21:56 i add that and it seems to call the update method 100's of times making the counts jump all around heh Aug 02 23:22:09 weird behavior that I will debug tomorrow I guess Aug 02 23:22:19 learned a lot today. thanks for all the help guys Aug 02 23:23:24 whats tho command to make sure a file exists? Aug 02 23:23:49 just to check it exists, the term feel comes to mind Aug 02 23:29:27 nevermind I found it Aug 02 23:39:35 many of the wiki's patches arent in git or quilt. is there a reason? Aug 02 23:41:29 jjore: only because no-one has created the patches yet Aug 02 23:41:37 jjore: i notced that too Aug 02 23:41:46 if everyone did just one, they would all be done. Aug 02 23:42:35 great. not enough tuits is a good reason and "easy" to fix Aug 02 23:42:36 i tried to do the phone radio off patch but it vomited on me, then i was gonna manu edit it.. but the 2nd edit didnt make sense where it was being put to me.. wanted a function call in the middle of error message functions.. i was confused so i gave up Aug 02 23:45:35 BsCaBl: you can't install an optware ipkg using palm tools Aug 02 23:45:47 (or installers meant for webos app) Aug 02 23:45:52 oh? Aug 02 23:45:58 you can only use ipkg-opt to install optware packages Aug 02 23:46:18 anything with nslu2-linux.org in the url, just type "ipkg-opt install " Aug 02 23:46:45 (I don't know why Zuchmir2 gave you the URL instead of just saying"ipkg-opt install bitchx" Aug 02 23:46:56 ahhh Aug 02 23:47:40 he prolly thought i knew that.. ive only had the pre 2 days lol Aug 02 23:47:58 * rwhitby still wonders what the beezlewaxin and GakAsterman drivers are ... Aug 02 23:48:21 im familiar with linux, and moderates revisions of code, but im dumb compared to some of you guys :D Aug 02 23:50:05 so, do any of you know how to get the normal "sym" menu of alternate keys up in the terminal? Aug 02 23:50:36 rwhitby, quick question: for posting a new app, which of the license choices means "feel free to do whatever Aug 02 23:50:36 you want with this code, but I'd like you to mention that you got it from me"? Aug 02 23:51:20 that's often the bsd license Aug 02 23:52:01 Ok. I don't really care all that much, it'd just be nice if someone copy/pastes my stuff that they include a Aug 02 23:52:01 reference of some sort Aug 02 23:52:03 Thansk Aug 02 23:52:06 Thanks* Aug 02 23:53:35 in perl-land we've often acquired contributor agreements so licensing of patches and other work isnalt in question Aug 02 23:55:04 btw, are all of my lines in here splitting? Or is that just how this IRC client decided to display things? Aug 02 23:57:05 it's your client Aug 03 00:01:59 Ok, thanks. Aug 03 00:04:06 zinge: all of the open source licenses require the copyright in the code to be maintained. Aug 03 00:04:35 if you want attribution in the documentation of any derived software, use something like the Apache license. Aug 03 00:05:13 jjore: for patches, we're requiring all submissions to the modifications.git repo to be MIT licensed, so that Palm can use them directly if they wish. Aug 03 00:06:12 rwhitby: that's sane Aug 03 00:07:12 jjore: we're truly hoping that Palm just take some of them as-is and include them in the next release of webOS. Aug 03 00:08:41 sure. I'm also just annoyed at hand-integrating patches instead of just using quilt. btw, this might motivate a second repo or something to allow N repos if they're divided on licensing Aug 03 00:09:44 jjore: sure, the process we have for importing patches from git for quilt to use can handle any number of modifications repos. Aug 03 00:10:25 I don't see why anyone would be concerned about licensing the patch as MIT, since they are not going to be able to redistribute a patched application from it anyway (since it's against Palm's proprietary code) Aug 03 00:10:43 so the patches have no commercial value to anyone other than Palm. Aug 03 00:10:59 jjore: you've got gitorious.org commit access, right? Aug 03 00:12:03 rwhitby: hey, quick Q.. if im using ipkg-opt, do i have to reboot into dev mode? Aug 03 00:12:11 i havent tried yet.. was on the phone Aug 03 00:12:33 BsCaBl: you need to make the rootfs writable, but don't need dev mode if you can ssh in. Aug 03 00:12:42 sweet! Aug 03 00:14:11 wish i didnt need dev mode at all anymore Aug 03 00:14:42 ..just cuz of the painfully long reboot lol Aug 03 00:15:17 you dont if you have ssh access setup Aug 03 00:15:31 ok, this is new Aug 03 00:15:33 and once i get my initctl service working... Aug 03 00:15:41 we can start/top services with out rebooting Aug 03 00:15:49 this is the first time ive ever ssh'd in without being in dev mode.. and im seeing: Aug 03 00:15:54 but idk what is gonna replace the initial dev mode Aug 03 00:15:57 Broadcast message from root (Sun Aug 2 20:16:07 2009): Aug 03 00:15:57 powerd: System woke up. Aug 03 00:16:02 why is it doing that? Aug 03 00:16:19 BsCaBl: it goes to sleep Aug 03 00:16:34 there is a mod to keep it on while plugged in Aug 03 00:16:42 if you want to ssh into it or something Aug 03 00:16:51 oh, i didnt plug it in this time.. lol Aug 03 00:16:53 i made a app for it in the gitorious repo Aug 03 00:16:54 thats what i forgot Aug 03 00:17:07 its called devtools Aug 03 00:17:09 or something like that Aug 03 00:18:27 i have one more dumb Q, well i prolly have more than one.. but this one might be particularly dumb.. so ive got the custom message ringone.. but since it doesnt stop once u open the text, its honestly kind of annoying.. but i cant seem to find how to put it back to the original .wav. file Aug 03 00:19:53 *checks out devtools* Aug 03 00:22:03 yay Bx worked! Aug 03 00:23:16 il be sooo glad when the double cap battery comes out :P Aug 03 00:31:57 PuffTheMagic: ahh i didnt realize it, i was already using that patch :D Aug 03 00:32:13 now to figure out how to get back the default system sound lol Aug 03 00:35:40 Why does the dbus introspection python program require x11? Aug 03 00:37:05 introspection won't get you very far as most of the functions don't implement the introspection stuff Aug 03 00:37:28 ::sigh:: Aug 03 00:37:42 PuffTheMagic: I don't think anything should replace the initial dev mode requirement. If a rogue application can get itself onto a virgin Pre through social engineering, and can then install something as root without the user having to go into dev mode or type a root password, then that would be a huge security hole for the Pre, and would be unacceptable. Aug 03 00:37:50 oo ocolorful bash :D Aug 03 00:38:25 k. Is there any good way (or any way at all) to get a list of parameters that can be passed to something like Aug 03 00:38:25 com.palm.display or com.palm.power? Aug 03 00:38:53 bzhou * r10524 optware/trunk/make/bzr-rebase.mk - bzr-rebase: 0.5.1 -> 0.5.3 Aug 03 00:38:58 So far I've been using dbus-util --capture and pushing buttons on the phone itself to see what calls certain Aug 03 00:38:59 functions use Aug 03 00:38:59 bzhou * r10525 optware/trunk/make/bzr-svn.mk - bzr-svn: 0.6.2 -> 0.6.3 Aug 03 00:39:21 But that doesn't help me if I want to find ones that aren't currently used Aug 03 00:39:29 is there a way to get the pre's phone number inside a mojo app? Aug 03 00:44:43 hmm color bash broked it.. *applies backup of original* Aug 03 00:47:03 amazing Aug 03 00:47:22 wii bscabl_ Aug 03 00:49:49 so any one using hamachi i wouldnt leave it running all the time Aug 03 00:54:26 epyon22: reason being? Aug 03 00:54:45 i get 12 hours battery life with it running Aug 03 00:55:05 and without it well im at 12 hours now and sitting at 60 % Aug 03 00:55:30 Ok. Just wondering. Aug 03 00:55:41 im going to edit the wiki Aug 03 00:55:47 so every one knows Aug 03 00:56:08 I get just about 12 hours without it anyway in a day of normal use. Aug 03 00:56:48 well ive got a 12 hour shift and i used it as a test with my powersaving settings Aug 03 00:57:01 i have brightness all the way down check email every 3 hours Aug 03 00:57:02 ect Aug 03 00:57:43 One more time just in case someone in here can give me any ideas: is there any way to list the possible service Aug 03 00:57:44 calls to a specific com.palm, such as all the possible calls to com.palm.display or com.palm.power? Aug 03 00:58:08 what are you trying to do? Aug 03 00:59:08 A couple things, but the first one is find a better way to run my Brightness Unlinked app. Aug 03 00:59:33 Changes screen and keyboard brightness seperately. Right now, I'm hitting com.palm.power directly to change each Aug 03 00:59:33 one. Aug 03 00:59:43 But that gets reset anytime a power event happens. Aug 03 01:00:02 oh so there is a seperate setting for keyboard and brightness Aug 03 01:00:04 The real brightness app uses a call to com.palm.display setting the maxBrightness param. Aug 03 01:00:13 cool yeah i dont know Aug 03 01:00:18 sounds like a cool app though Aug 03 01:00:27 Which is then used by the rest of the system as a max for dimming and turning on/off the screen. Aug 03 01:01:47 zinge: you could use 'strings' on the exe that implements the service .... Aug 03 01:01:59 (to find out what it supports) Aug 03 01:03:42 (man-ing strings...) so that would basically list out the file, and I could read/skim through it to find things Aug 03 01:03:42 to call? Aug 03 01:08:00 How do I find the exe? com.palm.display lists /usr/bin/LunaSysMgr as its procname. Is that what I have to run Aug 03 01:08:00 strings on? Aug 03 01:11:18 wooo the wiki game me my notification sound back :D Aug 03 01:11:21 anyone have a clue what is missing, that causes this error: http://pastebin.com/d77bd45a7 Aug 03 01:14:16 zinge: yeah, I think they are all compiled into that one exe. now you start the reverse engineering ... Aug 03 01:14:46 Oy. Ok, I'll play around with it. Thanks, Aug 03 01:15:24 there might be some other exe's or .so's which implement other bits. I seem to remember a file which directs dbus services to exes. Aug 03 01:16:10 dbus-util --list shows procnames for all the dbus services. It looked like almost all of them were LunaSysMgr or Aug 03 01:16:10 java Aug 03 01:17:49 zinge, log the dbus messages that go back and forth Aug 03 01:18:03 i think they call it dbus-util to watch what gets passed Aug 03 01:18:07 and then go nuts on your phone Aug 03 01:18:10 or in the emulator Aug 03 01:18:11 That only helps when I can create some kind of event that uses the dbus service Aug 03 01:18:21 Thats what I did orginally to get my app working Aug 03 01:18:34 no - dbus-util will watch what gets passed .. so you can see the parameters that get passe Aug 03 01:18:35 d Aug 03 01:19:16 I'm just trying to find a better way of doing it, and it doesn't look like there is anything on the phone that Aug 03 01:19:16 does what I want. So I wanted to look through unused calls to see if one of them could help me. Aug 03 01:20:17 i think one of my fav things about this phone [aside from the ability to hack the hell out of it] is the multitasking.. most new phones can text n talk... but i just was ssh'ed into mine, and in the settings dialog and enabled bluetooth while on the phone.. i love this thing Aug 03 01:20:43 zinge, you can try to objdump the libraries and see what might be exposed Aug 03 01:22:13 I'll go google things and see how to do that, thanks. Aug 03 01:22:28 objdump and c++filt will be your friends at that point Aug 03 01:29:24 !seen tris Aug 03 01:31:35 ~seen tris Aug 03 01:31:39 tris is currently on #webos-internals #asterisk #handhelds.

Aug 03 01:35:03 thanks Rick__ Aug 03 01:35:33 Hello everyone Aug 03 01:35:35 Is anyone working on the GPS tracking mod or has it working? Aug 03 01:36:34 I had an idea earlier today. Is it possible to make modification where if within a time (2 mins) without signal have the phone automatically enable Airplane Mode... Aug 03 01:36:54 This way the phone does not consume so much baterry looking for signal Aug 03 01:37:26 This really comes in handy where here in NYC we get no signal on the Subway and especially when you go to buildings where their is no signal at all. Aug 03 01:41:15 Rick__, yeah... it's ! elsewhere. Aug 03 01:41:53 Zuchmir2: ping Aug 03 01:41:54 depends on what you're running. Aug 03 01:43:17 is there any reason why we use /var/opt instead of putting /opt on /media/internal? Aug 03 01:43:32 any potential downsides? Aug 03 01:43:53 yes Aug 03 01:43:55 there is Aug 03 01:43:57 a reason Aug 03 01:44:02 nhahn: /say /media/internal gets umounted in usb mode and media sync mode Aug 03 01:44:14 s/\/say// Aug 03 01:44:24 well, there's that. there's also that /media/internal is vfat Aug 03 01:44:28 does it though? Aug 03 01:44:33 it does Aug 03 01:44:37 lame Aug 03 01:44:42 Rick__: well i think perhaps he means a looback image, extfs Aug 03 01:44:51 well, anything really Aug 03 01:44:53 but you know what they say about assumption: Aug 03 01:44:55 well, THAT You can do, and a lot of us have. Aug 03 01:44:57 because i keep running out of space on /var :( Aug 03 01:44:58 it makes an ass out of you and umption Aug 03 01:45:02 worse then, then it gets ganked at usb mode. Aug 03 01:45:17 I made a extfs in a loopback. Aug 03 01:45:39 Hey folks...quick question from a newbie - any way to delete a user created in webos?; deluser doesn't seem to work Aug 03 01:45:40 can always resize partition table make a new part for /opt Aug 03 01:45:40 it works. and I'm not trying to run background code in it, so unmounting on usbmode (which I almost never do anyway) is unimportant. Aug 03 01:45:51 bzhou * r10526 optware/trunk/make/gawk.mk - gawk: 3.1.6 -> 3.1.7 Aug 03 01:46:00 DV1000_Login: delete their home directory and their line from /etc/passwd Aug 03 01:46:30 what if instead of a mount it was just a symlink? Aug 03 01:46:31 that's it? Super, THANKS! Aug 03 01:47:09 nhahn: to where, a folder on /media/internal ? Aug 03 01:47:14 if so, vfat issues Aug 03 01:47:46 ah Aug 03 01:47:48 right, vfat Aug 03 01:48:14 and you wouldn't want to do a symlink anyway Aug 03 01:48:27 /media/internal isn't mounted when / is, so your link would fail Aug 03 01:48:34 if anything, you't mount -o bind Aug 03 01:49:10 so, what is the safest way to get over the size limitations of var? i like my homebrew apps :( Aug 03 01:49:25 actually Aug 03 01:49:43 there was just a post about this on the forums Aug 03 01:49:49 either do whta Rick__ does, do looback image on /media/internal, and dont run daemons on it, and try to stay out of usb mode Aug 03 01:49:51 nhahn: mount a loop device on /media/ Aug 03 01:49:57 on /media/internal, that is. Aug 03 01:50:13 or resize /media/internal partition, make a new partition for /opt, and hope palm doesn't want to change partition sizes Aug 03 01:50:29 right, but they might.. because even their partition is kind of slim... Aug 03 01:50:54 if you're not too terribly opposed Aug 03 01:51:04 i think you might be able to reformat /media/internal as extfs Aug 03 01:51:17 and then mount -o bind /opt to a folder in there Aug 03 01:51:22 but im not sure bout that Aug 03 01:51:48 i tried that -- webos stopped reading the pictures, etc that were there... Aug 03 01:51:58 shucks Aug 03 01:52:34 for some reason it needs to stay as a fat partition. i knew it would stop working for usb mount to windows, but I have a linux laptop Aug 03 01:52:57 yeah, or you could set up samba share Aug 03 01:53:02 or winscp Aug 03 01:53:05 i did resize my /media/internal (store-media) though, and it works fine Aug 03 01:53:46 and even if palm wants to resize, it shouldn't matter unless you and palm both take away too much from /media/internal Aug 03 01:54:24 unless palm expect certain partition layout and fails when trying to update Aug 03 01:54:35 but easy enough to undo your partition, update, redo Aug 03 01:55:01 yup. I'm gonna setup the rsync backup just in case :-) Aug 03 01:56:06 anyone tried to setup the colored bash shell? I tried the instructions, but no dice on the color. Did it assume anything before that? Like setting up bash in the first place? Isn't it bash by default? Aug 03 01:56:26 I know it's busybox, but I assumed that was using the bash shell... Aug 03 01:56:36 its using /bin/sh by default Aug 03 01:56:52 yeah, but /bin/sh is a link to busybox Aug 03 01:57:16 which isn't bash Aug 03 01:57:18 busybox ls color segfaults if your root Aug 03 01:57:31 that explains it Aug 03 01:57:39 i use optware's coreutil's ls, and have an alias in my profile Aug 03 01:58:12 alias ls /opt/bin/ls --color or something Aug 03 01:58:16 instructions are on wiki Aug 03 01:58:30 works nice, even in terminal app Aug 03 01:59:00 so we have to get bash first to try the color options laid out in "colorful bash prompt"? Are those the instructions you're referring to? Aug 03 01:59:20 http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/How_To_Use_%22ls%22_In_Color Aug 03 01:59:44 Thank you! I didn't see this one! Aug 03 01:59:56 what is the link to which you are referring ? Aug 03 02:00:20 http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Colorful_Bash_Prompt Aug 03 02:00:25 thx Aug 03 02:00:43 doesn't seem to work for me -- but maybe it assumed that coreutils was already downloaded or something... Aug 03 02:09:54 Yay! It works! Thanks! Aug 03 02:14:21 np Aug 03 02:18:13 good night, everyone Aug 03 02:51:39 So how do you know when your Palm Pre is bricked? Aug 03 02:52:32 thefoot: when the instructions on the wiki (followed precisely), dont work Aug 03 02:53:07 has anyone bricked their pre in the channel at all yet ? Aug 03 02:53:09 http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/How_To_Recover <- steps 1 to 6, followed precisely. Aug 03 02:53:16 i dont think ive bricked it Aug 03 02:53:40 bpadalino: Darth Pooh had a hardware memory failure during update, unrelated to webos-internals or homebrew (and verified by Palm) Aug 03 02:53:48 First time I see "brick" and "Pre" in one sentence. Aug 03 02:53:55 wow, interesting Aug 03 02:53:57 that's the only one I know about. Aug 03 02:54:21 You know you've bricked your Pre when the phone has turned into a rectangular lump of baked clay. Aug 03 02:54:59 Palm Emulator requires that VirtualBox 2.2.0 or greater is installed. Aug 03 02:55:00 Sorry. That's... probably not very helpful. Aug 03 02:55:07 Running Win7 x64 Aug 03 02:55:16 I've ran w/ the batch file Aug 03 02:57:45 Mine just takes forever to start Aug 03 02:58:52 dreadchicken: hey **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Aug 03 02:59:57 2009
