Oct 27 07:40:18 does "bringing webos up to webkit trunk" mean palm will give their graphics code(api)?

Oct 27 14:11:54 egaudet: ping Oct 27 14:57:58 hey everyone... got a problem here.... Oct 27 15:00:57 when I try to install the messaging landscape patch from preware it errors on the last file saying ERROR: patch already installed? Oct 27 15:01:39 Is it already installed Oct 27 15:01:57 manually modified? Oct 27 15:02:49 it had been installed but was uninstalled. I had manually edited the file at one time, but have since replaced the files with originals Oct 27 15:03:08 the avatar patch installs and uninstalls fine Oct 27 15:03:21 how did you replace the originals? Oct 27 15:03:29 winscp Oct 27 15:03:55 got them from unpacking webosdoctor Oct 27 15:04:00 Elryon: sounds like you need to contact the maintainer of that patch Oct 27 15:04:16 Elryon: and you probably have the wrong version file now Oct 27 15:04:26 I can install it from webosqi Oct 27 15:04:27 cause i dont think there are any doctor images with 1.2.1 Oct 27 15:04:51 I also tried the files I saved from before editing Oct 27 15:05:10 Stugots there is 1.2.1 doctor Oct 27 15:05:11 http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Webos_Doctor_Versions Oct 27 15:05:21 Elryon, run md5sum on the file Oct 27 15:05:26 Elryon: can you apply the patch manually? Oct 27 15:05:30 I compared the messaging.css file before 1.2.0 and 1.2.1.. same file Oct 27 15:05:31 after removing all the messaging patches Oct 27 15:06:07 ok, hang on.. g/f using phone Oct 27 15:06:55 I can apply manually Oct 27 15:07:16 manually as in Oct 27 15:08:47 hang on... got phone back Oct 27 15:09:32 I was going to try and run the epr, buts its not there anyomre Oct 27 15:11:10 gack... tried to remove the sms tone per contact and it errored Oct 27 15:11:23 EPR is there Oct 27 15:11:26 just not under patches Oct 27 15:11:31 it's in list of everything Oct 27 15:11:50 looked under everything Oct 27 15:12:04 type in emer Oct 27 15:12:11 under list of everything Oct 27 15:12:40 tried, only get limited emergency button Oct 27 15:13:11 how do I run md5sum on the file? Oct 27 15:13:24 do you have linux access Oct 27 15:13:28 yep Oct 27 15:14:09 nm, found epr Oct 27 15:14:53 will the epr set everything back? Oct 27 15:15:36 will set all files that any patch with autopatch technology touched back to the state that it was in before the first patch that touched it was installed Oct 27 15:16:00 so if you had any manual modifications prior to installing a patch you will get your modified file back Oct 27 15:16:27 ok... so that's a no it probably wont help this... Oct 27 15:16:37 depends on what you did Oct 27 15:17:12 EPR and then Repair Utility should get you back to stock files Oct 27 15:17:20 if you had manual mods prior to patching Oct 27 15:17:31 I dont think I did, but I'm not sure... Oct 27 15:18:01 I've deleted and reinstalled stuff a few times, manually Oct 27 15:18:32 will have to try repair utility tonight.. gotta go to work.. :( Oct 27 15:19:15 try EPR first Oct 27 15:38:34 whats g00d Oct 27 17:02:23 egaudet_work: Did Elyron make it here?

Oct 27 17:40:23 I'm trying to get amarok 1.4 to wirelessly sync with my pre. I got everything working, except I can not actually write to the pre. Amarok can see the pre, and read files from it, but can't write to it, I followed this http://tinyurl.com/yjnty5m. Any ideas? Oct 27 17:42:31 is your filesystem writable or read only ? Oct 27 17:44:14 If I ssh into the pre, and do "sudo mkdir a" (in /media/internal/music) it works, but if I do "mkdir a" it says permission denied. Oct 27 17:49:39 egaudet_work: I got a reply from Jason about the camera filename patch. He's good to go. Oct 27 17:52:23 i think that you need to modify fstab so anyone can write to /media/internal cba123 Oct 27 17:53:08 en0x, the fstab of my phone? It isn't in my PC's fstab Oct 27 17:53:09 en0x: yeah Oct 27 17:53:32 cba123: yes, fstab on the phone Oct 27 17:54:01 help with patches Oct 27 17:54:19 dBsooner-work, Ok, I did "sudo vi /etc/fstab", what do I change it to, it's at 0 0 Oct 27 17:54:23 whatup sheldon?

Oct 27 17:55:29 yep...everything is working good but patches Oct 27 17:55:40 1.2.1 Oct 27 17:56:01 oil ping Oct 27 17:56:25 sheldon: I will ask oil. I am not entirely sure what causes the feeds to gray out Oct 27 17:56:32 you have command line access? Oct 27 17:57:25 pkg mngr is version 9.10 and preware is 9.5 Oct 27 17:57:32 update feeds Oct 27 17:57:35 sheldon: Because I wonder if the feed is set wrong Oct 27 17:57:54 so update feeds and look at the feed in the settings Oct 27 17:58:10 cba123: what is the entire line for /media/internal in fstab? Oct 27 17:58:48 updated feeds and still same Oct 27 17:59:02 dBsooner-work, "/dev/mapper/store-media /media/internal vfat utf8,shortname=mixed,defaults 0 0" I just added ',defaults' Oct 27 17:59:03 i have command line access through qi Oct 27 17:59:24 sheldon go to preferences and tap feeds button Oct 27 18:00:15 done Oct 27 18:00:29 * Mousey restarts Luna Oct 27 18:00:40 cba123: after you added that line, do a sudo umount /media/internal Oct 27 18:00:44 then sudo mount /media/internal Oct 27 18:01:58 dBsooner-work, permission denied still. Oct 27 18:02:30 cba123: try adding umask=000 Oct 27 18:08:22 dBsooner-work, It copied the files, but I can't find them in the music app Oct 27 18:09:08 cba123: I don't know how amarok works. I was just helping you get the /media/internal writable. :D Oct 27 18:09:33 s/writeable/writable by everyone/ Oct 27 18:09:49 dBsooner-work, I mean on the pre. They are copied to /media/internal/music Oct 27 18:11:17 I don't know how Amarok works.. I wonder if it uses a database or XML file to store all music info and file location. Oct 27 18:12:07 oh Oct 27 18:12:09 i get you Oct 27 18:12:23 So the music player on the pre isn't showing them. Oct 27 18:12:27 Yes Oct 27 18:13:39 are they in formats playable by the Pre? Oct 27 18:14:29 dBsooner-work, Yeah, they are MP3, same library I copied from manually before, and all the MP3's I copied manually work. Oct 27 18:14:53 and all the files are in the same directory on the Pre? Oct 27 18:14:58 what is the exact path of one of the files not showing Oct 27 18:15:10 dBsooner-work, Yes Oct 27 18:15:37 /media/internal/music != /media/intenral/Music Oct 27 18:15:50 s/intenral/internal/ Oct 27 18:15:50 dBsooner-work meant: /media/internal/music != /media/internal/Music Oct 27 18:16:15 dBsooner-work, I know, I copied to /media/internal/music, lowercase Oct 27 18:18:21 egaudet_work: asked for the exact path of one not showing Oct 27 18:18:23 Possible to have .gif work in messaging? Oct 27 18:19:04 I just hate old crapy phones having animated media sent thru MMS and modern phone don't support it. Oct 27 18:55:49 dBsooner-work, I rebooted my phone and everything showed up, just so you know. Oct 27 19:00:52 yay Oct 27 19:08:03 rwhitby- im trying to run the meta doctor again on a friends phone, I have so many of the doctor files on my computer I forget which one is the meta doctor one, what will it name the file do you know?

Oct 27 21:58:23 but fingers crossed Oct 27 21:58:24 off to work Oct 27 21:58:39 heh Oct 27 22:23:12 morning Oct 27 22:25:17 heya Oct 27 22:33:11 hi Oct 27 22:39:46 Question about init.d scripts Oct 27 22:40:06 Are init.d run as root? (Linux in general) Oct 27 22:40:33 rwhitby: good morning, ETA on your Pre? Oct 27 22:41:08 dBsooner-work: yes, always... unless an su is done inside them Oct 27 22:41:18 odd Oct 27 22:41:37 I tried to unload a module in a shutdown script but it failed for some reason Oct 27 22:41:44 dBsooner-work: on Linux, init.d scripts are spawned by rc, which is spawned by init(1) Oct 27 22:42:24 my stop() function does "modprobe -r omnibook" Oct 27 22:44:00 I always tend to fully path things when I call them, though I doubt modprobe wasn't in that env's PATH Oct 27 22:44:06 Was there any error? Oct 27 22:44:57 I haven't looked Oct 27 22:45:11 all I know is it didn't unload the module because my laptop booted back up after 3 minutes of powered off Oct 27 22:45:16 omnibook module does this for some reason Oct 27 22:45:28 if I manually "modprobe -r omnibook" prior to shutdown Oct 27 22:45:32 The laptop will stay off Oct 27 22:45:50 I was on my way out the door to return to work, so i didn't have time to look at the logs. Oct 27 22:45:50 Could be wake on LAN, or wake on USB or similiar Oct 27 22:46:07 already have all those off in BIOS Oct 27 22:46:26 the only fix I have found anywhere on the interwebs is to unload the module prior to halt Oct 27 22:46:32 I'm no expert on ACPI, but that doesn't always do it Oct 27 22:47:00 I'd perhaps look for a verbose option to modprobe, and redirect to a log... including stderr Oct 27 22:47:05 so something like: Oct 27 22:47:20 /sbin/modprobe blah blah 2>&1 /root/blah.log Oct 27 22:47:30 greg_roll: dunno about ETA - the tracking number from Germany is not working.

As its GST free they are $880 delivered Oct 27 22:51:17 greg_roll: that's close to parity, and you do get the 1 year warranty Oct 27 22:51:17 greg_roll: just be wary of expensys .au ... apparently not all that healthy, or have shutdown or something Oct 27 22:51:17 howdy peoples :) Oct 27 22:51:24 and Singapore is handling their orders Oct 27 22:52:09 That's my main concern... as previously published, apparently we can send ours back to Germany if ordered from there... but I just want to know if anyone has officially been told they'll honour it Oct 27 22:56:22 lingfish: where did you see/read that?

I have a couple of friends that were born and grew up in Australia and have transported to the states and they speak with a heavy slanged vocabulary. Oct 27 23:13:48 hmm Oct 27 23:14:16 dBsooner-work: because there's only ONE form of English (Americans don't get that ;)) Oct 27 23:14:42 s/heavy slanged vocabulary./heavily slanged vocabulary?/ Oct 27 23:14:42 dBsooner-work meant: Why is it all you Australlians speak in normal english?

Oct 27 23:22:53 infobot, ocker? Oct 27 23:22:54 from memory, ocker is a term used both as a noun and adjective for an Australian who speaks and acts in an uncultured manner, using a broad Australian accent (or Strine). The typical ocker is "usually found in a blue singlet and rubber flip-flops with a tinnie in his hand propping up a bar." Richard Neville defined ockerism as being "about conviviality: comradeship with a touch of good-hearted sexism."[ Oct 27 23:23:11 lol Oct 27 23:23:46 ~terminal Oct 27 23:23:47 methinks terminal is very, very alpha, but can be found at http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Application:Terminal Oct 27 23:25:01 hola Oct 27 23:25:31 is there hack potential with the pre? Oct 27 23:28:17 yes? Oct 27 23:28:58 I think so... Oct 27 23:29:00 can you gauge the hack factor in comparison with n900/maemo (once it is available)? Oct 27 23:29:52 if i don't give units or a scale, is that helpful ? Oct 27 23:30:28 less than if you gave a scale Oct 27 23:30:33 :) Oct 27 23:30:50 what are you looking to hack ? Oct 27 23:31:10 i'm not looking in turning a phone into a web server or whatever Oct 27 23:31:25 it runs a pretty standard linux system and uses directfb to talk to the display ... so whatever you want to do is open for hacking i suppose Oct 27 23:32:11 but often i've been annoyed by the fact that nokia keeps their app sources closed and you can't do anything (easily at least) with symbian - for example the infamous WEP2 PEAP auth Oct 27 23:32:38 or simply birthdates in the address book being shown in the calendar Oct 27 23:32:46 lingfish: at least you can paypal with expansys Oct 27 23:33:10 bpadalino: that sounds good already Oct 27 23:33:12 the webos apps are all plaintext ... so as long as you know html/js/css you are in good shape to screw around with them Oct 27 23:33:33 i recommend reading up at the websites in the topic Oct 27 23:33:47 specifically the webos internals one Oct 27 23:33:49 well i usually prefer compiled languages or ruby, but i guess that's already good Oct 27 23:33:52 alright Oct 27 23:34:03 greg_roll: meaning what exactly? Refundability? Oct 27 23:34:23 lingfish: maybe im just looking if paypal will cover it, like ebay Oct 27 23:34:24 so what are you guys hacking on? Oct 27 23:34:30 k Oct 27 23:34:57 i have this nice little chair that is very comfy .. Oct 27 23:35:05 a little wood .. some leather.. very rustic Oct 27 23:35:08 nmap localhost Oct 27 23:35:09 i see Oct 27 23:35:19 yes, i prefer pure wood Oct 27 23:35:23 no leather Oct 27 23:35:32 best place to hack on Oct 27 23:35:41 hack on wood Oct 27 23:35:46 to each their own Oct 27 23:36:44 http://www.suxx0r.com/ptownpics%20344.jpg Oct 27 23:36:52 i got bored the other night.. Oct 27 23:37:07 so all the apps are basically open source, say the mail app or the calendar? Oct 27 23:37:42 not open source Oct 27 23:37:49 just readable Oct 27 23:37:57 ok Oct 27 23:38:25 you can't distribute them .. but they are easy to modify Oct 27 23:38:45 is there a best practise established how to distribute modifications? Oct 27 23:38:51 and there is a patching mechanism in place to apply changes Oct 27 23:38:57 i see Oct 27 23:39:10 silliness on palm's side then :) Oct 27 23:39:13 NO Oct 27 23:39:27 i am the last person who should be talking about stuff - i don't know anything Oct 27 23:39:37 lies Oct 27 23:39:43 A2NY: no? Oct 27 23:39:48 would you rather have a close ended system like the iphone lol ? Oct 27 23:39:55 hell no Oct 27 23:40:07 it's true - i don't know much Oct 27 23:40:16 silly as in "why wouldn't they then allow distribution of modified applications" Oct 27 23:40:30 That image isn't big enough! Oct 27 23:40:51 how big should it be! Oct 27 23:41:08 real life sized Oct 27 23:41:22 read the pdf that came with your phone Oct 27 23:43:00 It is called "Open Source Information" Oct 27 23:44:24 so how easy is it to write non-javascript applications and integrate them? Oct 27 23:45:06 i'm thinking of something simple like a terminal/ssh application, or whatever else you would rather want to do in machine code than in javascript Oct 27 23:45:20 ~terminal Oct 27 23:45:21 i guess terminal is very, very alpha, but can be found at http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Application:Terminal Oct 27 23:45:25 there is already a terminal app Oct 27 23:45:33 scripts Oct 27 23:45:35 python Oct 27 23:45:36 perl Oct 27 23:45:38 :\ Oct 27 23:45:43 exists? Oct 27 23:45:57 I use it all the time Oct 27 23:46:42 expanding on it, waiting for someone else to push there changes to the git so I can Oct 27 23:46:53 A2NY: is there a repo somewhere? Oct 27 23:47:03 A2NY: just so that i can have a look how to program applications Oct 27 23:47:09 i use terminal for irssi Oct 27 23:47:26 lol Oct 27 23:47:55 tlz: you are official badass #1 Oct 27 23:48:19 werd. Oct 27 23:49:27 corecode: you need commit permission Oct 27 23:49:37 no public repo? Oct 27 23:49:50 if you are looking to make changes just install the ipk Oct 27 23:49:56 and modify Oct 27 23:50:05 i don't have the phone yet Oct 27 23:50:11 use the sdk Oct 27 23:50:26 i'm just trying to form an opinion on how applications are written Oct 27 23:50:51 download sdk, use webos quick install, install terminal Oct 27 23:51:38 maybe i didn't ask the right way. i'd like to have a look at the sources to understand how applications are written Oct 27 23:51:42 how complicated it is Oct 27 23:51:43 etc. Oct 27 23:51:46 corecode: git.webos-internals.org Oct 27 23:51:53 thanks Oct 27 23:52:11 you'll get a good range of applications, services, plugins, tools, there. Oct 27 23:52:24 most of it is not allowed by the official Palm APIs ;-) Oct 27 23:52:40 allowed in what sense? Oct 27 23:52:51 corecode: that's the -internals part of the project name Oct 27 23:53:19 allowed as "not possible" or "not legal" Oct 27 23:53:19 corecode: such things will never be accepted into the official palm app catalog Oct 27 23:53:23 ah Oct 27 23:53:26 fine with me Oct 27 23:53:27 they are possible, and legal. Oct 27 23:53:33 we do not do anything illegal Oct 27 23:53:39 not supported by palm .. Oct 27 23:53:47 meaning don't ask them when things break or don't work properly Oct 27 23:53:52 not *officially* supported by Palm ;-) Oct 27 23:53:56 oh so the terminal is just a js app, but uses the terminal plugin Oct 27 23:54:15 true Oct 27 23:54:18 Palm loves what webos-internals does. They've even stated it publicly in #webos. Oct 27 23:54:41 some interesting coding style you guys have :) Oct 27 23:55:00 corecode: being a collection of individual developers, what did you expect? Oct 27 23:56:57 ah it is not uniform anyways Oct 27 23:56:59 well Oct 27 23:59:27 fair enough Oct 27 23:59:30 that looks pretty good Oct 27 23:59:50 so what does not exist in source? Oct 28 00:00:37 bluetooth stack Oct 28 00:00:42 ok Oct 28 00:00:43 comms with the baseband processor Oct 28 00:00:48 fine Oct 28 00:00:55 novacom Oct 28 00:01:01 what's that? Oct 28 00:01:10 i guess the docviewer isn't either Oct 28 00:01:28 classic isn't open source Oct 28 00:01:53 novacom is how you communicate with the pre over usb .. terminal access and whatnot Oct 28 00:02:17 so as i understand it, all applications are javascript, sometimes supported by nsapi plugins into the browser Oct 28 00:02:32 right Oct 28 00:02:37 how come some applications take "long to start" Oct 28 00:02:41 corecode: and dbus services Oct 28 00:02:44 what ever these reviews say Oct 28 00:02:46 right Oct 28 00:03:04 is the browser jit'ing the javascript? Oct 28 00:03:19 Luna is kind of .... big Oct 28 00:03:24 it takes a while to get running Oct 28 00:03:27 * rwhitby bbl Oct 28 00:03:33 luna is the browser i guess Oct 28 00:03:35 and it also a bit of a black hole Oct 28 00:03:38 isn't it running all the time? Oct 28 00:03:41 luna is all UI interaction Oct 28 00:03:59 ok Oct 28 00:04:12 also not open sourced Oct 28 00:04:35 oh Oct 28 00:04:36 :/ Oct 28 00:05:04 is that the browser, or is that a different component? Oct 28 00:05:26 the browser is built into luna .. yeah Oct 28 00:05:42 webkit based? Oct 28 00:05:56 yep Oct 28 00:06:07 opensource.palm.com should have the packages listed Oct 28 00:06:10 wouldn't luna then have to be open sourced as well? Oct 28 00:06:20 they're slacking, though Oct 28 00:06:32 oh, no ... Oct 28 00:06:41 greg_roll, hey Oct 28 00:07:02 VeeDubb65-Steve: howdy Oct 28 00:07:02 corecode: webkit is LGPL, it can be used by proprietary apps Oct 28 00:07:17 destinal: ok Oct 28 00:07:20 now that's sad Oct 28 00:07:21 as evidenced by safari Oct 28 00:07:28 greg_roll, did you get my last email? LibpurpleAdapterExt isn't running, and won't start Oct 28 00:07:42 VeeDubb65-Steve: i just read it Oct 28 00:07:46 ill have a look, five secs Oct 28 00:07:50 no worries. Oct 28 00:07:58 destinal is the open source license guru and defender of free code Oct 28 00:08:05 making palm do the right thing :) Oct 28 00:08:09 I'm home today so it's not important, and I can always roll back to 1.04 tomorow for work. Oct 28 00:08:22 destinal, they're slacking on 1.2.1 on their opensource website Oct 28 00:08:23 good good Oct 28 00:08:58 so how does it work if you tap on an application? Oct 28 00:09:04 is a new process started? Oct 28 00:09:06 bpadalino: yeah, I put in a request shortly after laforge (harald) got them to put up 1.1.3. which is interesting since 1.1.3 came out AFTER 1.2.x Oct 28 00:09:22 or is webkit running all the time? Oct 28 00:09:27 VeeDubb65-Steve: damn! somehow the wrong version Libpurple got on there. I'm fixing right now, ill be 5-10 minutes Oct 28 00:09:54 greg_roll, lol. Good times. I figured you'd know what the issue was pretty quickly. Oct 28 00:09:59 bpadalino: on the 19th, they replied: "This is a confirmation that we received your note below and to let you know that we Oct 28 00:09:59 are working to make available the open source packages for 1.2.0 and 1.2.1" Oct 28 00:10:06 corecode, webkit is integrated very deeply with luna .. so it's "always there" Oct 28 00:10:19 i'm dying laughing at tonights palmcast, them all dressed up in diff outfits and using random accents Oct 28 00:10:24 destinal, good to hear you're keeping them honest Oct 28 00:10:30 can you actually change webkit? Oct 28 00:10:34 or is it linked statically Oct 28 00:10:39 destinal Oct 28 00:10:41 corecode: it's linked dynamically Oct 28 00:10:45 what about the wifi drivers Oct 28 00:10:46 good Oct 28 00:10:55 corecode: but palm's version doesn't build, at least for me :( Oct 28 00:11:01 destinal: typical Oct 28 00:11:03 arent the marvell drivers open source? Oct 28 00:11:09 corecode, if you look at the SDK - it's an x86 version ... the whole thing is basically the same Oct 28 00:11:17 destinal: apple did that back in the days when i had an ibook :/ Oct 28 00:11:25 corecode, so you can play with that as a sandbox and see if you like it Oct 28 00:11:40 droO: the marvell drivers palm is using are not Oct 28 00:11:43 bpadalino: i think i'd rather get the phone :) Oct 28 00:11:49 corecode - you wouldn't happen to be from corecodec, would you? Oct 28 00:11:54 neat Oct 28 00:11:58 freakout-work: what's corecodec?

Oct 28 00:14:20 that must be new Oct 28 00:14:22 haha Oct 28 00:14:50 I took a vacation in Corecodec, FR last year. Great wine shops there. Oct 28 00:15:09 and the ocean! Oct 28 00:16:18 freakout-work: so no, no relation to corecodec. didn't realize that even existed until just now Oct 28 00:16:39 destinal: and their pastries are to *die* for Oct 28 00:16:49 ah forget french pastries Oct 28 00:17:10 got to check out german or austrian pastries Oct 28 00:17:20 no wonder people get round Oct 28 00:17:49 german pastries? When I think German, I think beer and sausage, maybe some schnitzel. Oct 28 00:18:24 and spatzel, thank god for spatzel. Oct 28 00:18:30 hehe Oct 28 00:18:35 i should get a spaetzlemaker Oct 28 00:19:01 VeeDubb65-Steve: pastries, serious. and sweet main courses Oct 28 00:19:03 a spatzel maker? You just drain the batter through a collander into a pot of boiling stock. Oct 28 00:19:44 wow I just join the chat and its about pastries Oct 28 00:20:46 Abyssul: we've decided to drop webos hacking and refocus on baking Oct 28 00:21:20 About time Oct 28 00:21:34 VeeDubb65-Steve: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/79/Spaetzle_Hobel.jpg Oct 28 00:27:01 corecode, thanks for the link. That would make much better spatzel than my colander for sure. Oct 28 00:30:24 VeeDubb65-Steve: try the ipk up on skydrive now :) Oct 28 00:31:37 VeeDubb65-Steve: yep, easier with the real tools Oct 28 00:40:04 weird Oct 28 00:40:14 got my pre plugged in to my computer, hit just charge Oct 28 00:40:19 and the battery is DRAINING Oct 28 00:40:23 hmmm Oct 28 00:40:36 lol Oct 28 00:44:18 greg_roll. checking it out now Oct 28 00:44:31 VeeDubb65-Steve: thanks! Oct 28 00:44:49 lingfish: im so disappointed about expansys :( Oct 28 00:50:36 hi. Oct 28 00:53:37 greg_roll2: what's up with expansys? Oct 28 00:54:17 freakout-work: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1136869 for one example (thanks to lingfish) found others too Oct 28 00:57:23 greg_roll2: jeez that sucks Oct 28 00:57:35 greg_roll2: I've ordered from Expansys UK before - it's where I got my Centro Oct 28 00:57:49 greg_roll2: no issues to report Oct 28 00:58:10 freakout-work: how long ago? I think Aus got bad this year once they closed in Melbourne Oct 28 00:58:11 greg_roll2: yeah... I was too. That would have been how I got mine as well Oct 28 00:58:20 greg_roll2: I'm going to just order direct from O2 Germany methinks Oct 28 00:58:40 lingfish: they let you do that? Oct 28 00:58:51 I just need someone to tell me officially that they'll repair under warranty when the phone has been outside of Germany Oct 28 01:00:05 greg_roll2: not 100% confirmed, but I can't see why not Oct 28 01:00:45 lingfish: interesting... might be worth a try (then at least you have warrantee, all be it with overseas postage) Oct 28 01:03:30 greg_roll2: here's correspondance I had with someone at Palm: Oct 28 01:03:39 I said: Oct 28 01:03:49 Some are considering importing them -- what is Palm's warranty in that respect? Do we have to return to the country bought from, or can we use local support? Oct 28 01:03:53 He said: Oct 28 01:04:01 We will not be able to support any Palm Pre devices that were imported elsewhere as this region is not allocated with any devices to support them. They will have to get warranty support from the respective country that they bought it from. Oct 28 01:06:38 greg_roll2: I tried your new packages, and have the exact same problem. LibpurpleAdapterExt is not running, and I can't start it. Oct 28 01:07:44 lingfish: so Palm Aus would have to be onboard Oct 28 01:08:02 VeeDubb65-Steve: weird.... ill have another look :S Oct 28 01:08:11 Nah, I didn't read it that way... what he was saying was that if we bought from .de, we couldn't return to Palm .au Oct 28 01:08:26 He seems to be saying we can return to Palm .de Oct 28 01:09:46 greg_roll2: i bought my centro in july last year Oct 28 01:09:57 oh I see thats the response from Palm Australia Oct 28 01:10:14 freakout-work: I think they were good back then, its all gone bad now Oct 28 01:10:23 greg_roll2: sucks man Oct 28 01:10:34 greg_roll2: once I confirmed AU networks work i was going to do a post recommending them Oct 28 01:10:39 freakout-work: very! I mean there is still ebay too Oct 28 01:10:58 freakout-work: any news on yours? still with customs? Oct 28 01:15:18 greg_roll2: well technically from Palm HK I think, but can't be sure Oct 28 01:15:46 I mailed Rubinstein himself, and this guy responded. Oct 28 01:20:18 greg_roll2: i have no idea at this stage Oct 28 01:20:23 greg_roll2: but i'm trying to stay patient. Oct 28 01:20:34 6 - 8 working days and it was sent last week, so it's only been 4 so far Oct 28 01:20:41 hope it gets here friday :) Oct 28 01:24:50 cross fingers!!! Oct 28 01:26:20 eeDubb65-Steve: just uploading a new IPK now, my compile environment was wrong! Oct 28 01:27:16 VeeDubb65-Steve: helps if I spell your name right! Oct 28 01:29:16 greg_roll2: lol. just not your day for this. Oct 28 01:29:48 give me a couple minutes and I'll take another look Oct 28 01:29:48 VeeDubb65-Steve: no, doesn't help i've been sick. At least the file is compiled correctly now. It should at least load lol Oct 28 01:29:58 VeeDubb65-Steve: just finished uploading Oct 28 01:31:25 lingfish:if only i could read german lol Oct 28 01:36:20 lingfish: is modprobe -r and rmmod the same thing? Oct 28 01:37:32 greg_roll2: what do you know? It works. Let me test the other plugins and see which ones work. Oct 28 01:38:09 VeeDubb65-Steve: hehe lol. Its amazing what happens when you do things right lol Oct 28 01:41:15 greg_roll, I have Google Talk, AIM, Yahoo, Facebook Chat, Jabber, Sametime, Live Messenger, ICQ and Live Communicator shown. The one's I have logins for all work, the others all tell me bad username/password. Oct 28 01:41:56 VeeDubb65-Steve: NICE :) Facebook will no longer be installed by default on a clean install. Oct 28 01:42:19 Send me an email if anything else bad happens Oct 28 01:42:22 facebook doesn't matter to me one way or the other since I don't use it, but it's there now. Oct 28 01:42:33 do you have a jabber account? Oct 28 01:42:53 The only bad thing I can see if that I removed my google talk account and re-added it while testing, so I've got to relink my contacts again. Man I hate doing that. lol Oct 28 01:43:06 sorry :( bbs lunch time! Oct 28 01:54:05 lingfish: palm .au is no more, is it? Oct 28 02:06:11 dBsooner: one and the same, really... modprobe -r should be smart and remove any other autodeps that were loaded when the original modprobe was run Oct 28 02:06:34 rwhitby: essentially, yep. Support is still around for warranties and whatnot that they have to honour, I believe. Oct 28 02:06:58 probably subcontracted to someone else though Oct 28 02:07:06 Why do you ask? Oct 28 02:07:23 (and yes, probably, which is why I don't get why they don't just launch here and keep doing that) Oct 28 02:08:07 lingfish: Ask Palm wtf is up with the no direct-unlocked GSM thing, and they'll say "We won't comment on our marketing strategy." Oct 28 02:08:21 Ask them if they are aware of the SIM card issue and planning a fix and you'll get no response at all Oct 28 02:08:33 SIM card issue? Oct 28 02:08:44 lingfish: where some international SIMs don't work Oct 28 02:08:50 despite the fact it's unlocked Oct 28 02:08:58 ah... would that not be the classic v2/v3 SIM issue though? Oct 28 02:09:04 No Oct 28 02:09:08 hrm. Oct 28 02:09:22 It is a problem with webOS not reading the SIM card properly and loading the correct network settings Oct 28 02:09:35 and no option for the user to enter them manually Oct 28 02:09:59 well, its my belief that there's no core settings to talk at least GSM to a network... that's the point of the standard... settings come into play to be able to do data and whatnot, no? Oct 28 02:10:11 lingfish: yep Oct 28 02:12:06 if i don't get a response in the next day or two I'm busting out the bad headlines Oct 28 02:12:07 so basically, core phone functions like calls and SMS work on any SIM... its just "don't work" means data and extra stuff? Oct 28 02:12:22 If you can't get data on a webOS phone? it doesn't work man :p Oct 28 02:13:48 ^ so true. Oct 28 02:13:53 Why? You mean pre activation or what? I realise it'd be quite limjited... but it'd work Oct 28 02:15:03 So during shutdown's init calls rc0.d or rc6.d depending on halt or reboot.. It will do a STOP on all K* and a START on all S*? Oct 28 02:15:50 So I created a init script to simply rmmod during STOP and #Do-nothing during START.. then set it to ON in levels 2,3,4,5 and off in 1 and 6. Oct 28 02:16:09 Won't that cause it to send a STOP when changing from 2345 to 1 or y? Oct 28 02:16:23 err, 0 or 6 (0 = halt, 6 = reboot) Oct 28 02:18:21 So, what do people think about http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=2002372 ? How critical is it to the people here that we be able to merge and build upon webOS patches? dBsooner need not answer, cause we know his stance ;-) Oct 28 02:18:50 rofl Oct 28 02:18:55 OH PLEASE let me answer Oct 28 02:19:38 I'm looking for the uninvolved end-user opinion ... Oct 28 02:19:52 Boo. Oct 28 02:20:07 well, since the patches are already just changing someone else's work, making the idea of a "closed source" patch ridiculous, I'm 100% in favor of allowing patches to be merged. Oct 28 02:20:11 It's a plus for everybody Oct 28 02:20:13 But, yes, I can understand your point there. No tainted/persuaded answers. Oct 28 02:20:18 dBsooner: Note that I said "need not" rather than "should not" Oct 28 02:20:42 VeeDubb65-Steve: please post in the thread :-) Oct 28 02:20:56 Well, my foot has been in my mouth several times in that thread. So I will stay in the shadows. Oct 28 02:21:45 Plus, as the facilitator of the webOS-Patches feed, I would rather move in the direction the community wants to move. Oct 28 02:22:18 I believe in Open Source and standardized naming conventions, and think it would be easier for the 'average user' to understand. Oct 28 02:22:31 dBsooner: no... K* gets run on shutdown, S* on startup. Oct 28 02:22:39 Did anyone listen to the PalmCast today? I missed it due to a meeting, and wonder whether any of our stuff got a mention? Oct 28 02:23:06 not me. stoopid work. Oct 28 02:23:16 You can very easily substitute 'Aunt Minnie' for 'average user' in my above statement. Oct 28 02:23:18 rwhitby: as for patches: merging please Oct 28 02:23:29 rwhitby: It just gets too confusing otherwise Oct 28 02:23:41 freakout-work: which also meant that I couldn't paste anymore facebook photos either ... Oct 28 02:23:57 rwhitby: Ah, so that's why i got so many disappointed emails today Oct 28 02:24:01 lingfish: OK.. So does a K script to a STOP? Oct 28 02:24:33 rwhitby, http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=2002414&posted=1#post2002414 Oct 28 02:25:39 dBsooner: check out /etc/rc.d/rc Oct 28 02:26:08 lingfish: What I mean is: 'service unload_omnibook start' will literally Do-nothing. 'service unload_omnibook stop' will 'rmmod omnibook'. Oct 28 02:26:18 gregroll: welcome back. I emailed you final comments. I realy think the messaging plugins are ready for the fees. Oct 28 02:26:27 how do I make an rc script do the STOP feature during shutdown only Oct 28 02:26:55 shutdown process should run K* scripts. Oct 28 02:27:40 dBsooner: also check init(8) Oct 28 02:27:46 VeeDubb65-Steve: thanks :) I'm just waiting on a test of Live Communicator and possibly sametime Oct 28 02:28:34 VeeDubb65-Steve: youll be happy to know i've been playing around with the displayname too. Hopefully it will be in the next release Oct 28 02:28:35 I don't have accounts for them, but when I put in bogus login info, it tells me I've got an invalid username and password, so at least it connecting properly Oct 28 02:29:31 nice! with live communicator, jabber and sametime did you get server, port and TLS options? Oct 28 02:30:01 The moment we get IRC is the day I cry Oct 28 02:30:17 Abyssul: on Pre? Oct 28 02:30:25 Of course lol Oct 28 02:30:50 Abyssul: in my latest (testing) version of messaging plugins it is all there just not shown Oct 28 02:30:57 the issue i have is it connects to freenode (for example) Oct 28 02:31:02 But you couldnt get it to join a channel Oct 28 02:31:10 but then when I do a /join #webos-internals nothing happens Oct 28 02:31:12 yep :) Oct 28 02:31:20 which makes it useless Oct 28 02:31:33 I need to handle something else but I don't know what yet Oct 28 02:32:45 rwhitby: I won't post. Oct 28 02:33:01 at least about the merging idea . ;) Oct 28 02:33:10 WHAT MERGING? :p Oct 28 02:33:43 gregroll: I did get all those options. Oct 28 02:34:04 Abyssul: licensing patches in a way that others can take two patches and merge them together into a patch with preferences that can replace the other two patches Oct 28 02:34:22 Eh... Oct 28 02:34:24 nice so if you enter bogus info in all of them for sametime for e.g. does it say unable to conenct to server or invalid username? Oct 28 02:34:26 I dont think I like that Oct 28 02:35:23 rod Oct 28 02:35:26 Abyssul: obviously keeping all authorship and credit intact Oct 28 02:35:37 I was about to post, but I think I will just talk about it in here Oct 28 02:35:44 actually, I'll post first Oct 28 02:36:12 Ya but then there are gonna be a lot of excess patches Oct 28 02:36:28 gregroll: Could not connect to the server. Try again. Oct 28 02:37:00 VeeDubb65-Steve: excellent! thats good news :) means the plugins are at least loading :) Oct 28 02:37:25 Abyssul: the merged one would replace the other two Oct 28 02:37:41 but what if the user wants to download a single portion of a patch Oct 28 02:37:57 Like my remove titles patch Oct 28 02:38:12 Say it gets combined into the big icons for app launcher patch Oct 28 02:38:23 but a user wants to only have one part of the modification Oct 28 02:38:28 Abyssul: if there were two ways to remove titles, there would be a preference Oct 28 02:38:40 merging cannot force stuff on the user Oct 28 02:38:52 Whatever, Im sure you guys know what you're doing Oct 28 02:39:16 Abyssul: well, in most cases what we do is a reflection of what the community needs or wants Oct 28 02:40:11 And the community wants patches to be merged? Oct 28 02:40:22 If the overwhelming response from the community is that they want authors to have full and total control over all aspects of patches, and for the feed maintainers to simply be aggregators of items with no moderation, merging or otherwise altering, then as long as we could sort out the security aspects we would probably do that. Oct 28 02:41:43 (such is the case with, for instance, the PreCentral apps feed today, except that there is no security issue to deal with because PreCentral apps don't have install scripts) Oct 28 02:42:37 Abyssul: your question is the one I have posed in the thread at http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=2002372 Oct 28 02:42:52 I'm looking for input from the community.

Oct 28 02:44:52 The ONLY thing I will say about giving users FULL CONTROL over naming: "CONFUSION!!!" Oct 28 02:45:08 Because of exactly what Craig posted. Oct 28 02:45:19 patches being very similar but completely different names. Oct 28 02:46:38 Rod, you see my post about the renaming? Oct 28 02:46:55 IS that a feasible idea on how to rename and retain "upgrade" functionality?
