**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Mar 23 02:59:57 2010 Mar 23 03:32:10 .. Mar 23 03:49:58 cash rules everything around me Mar 23 03:50:05 so did the gps trick Mar 23 03:50:06 and wow Mar 23 03:50:13 acquistion times are much improved Mar 23 03:52:24 ... Mar 23 04:11:41 I havn't been able to find one, but has anyone else seen a patch that adds preferences to the dialer and modifies the dialer to use google voice? Mar 23 04:12:54 I think I might try to make such a thing Mar 23 04:15:31 basically something that takes this http://forums.precentral.net/web-os-development/193180-google-voice-hack-2.html and polishes it a little Mar 23 04:49:53 Script to save SMS and IM messages: http://git.webos-internals.org/?p=applications/saverestore.git;a=blob;f=scripts/com.palm.app.messaging Mar 23 04:50:51 i like the restore message :) Mar 23 04:51:12 nice Mar 23 05:22:22 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/gallery/Cheli/Cheli_full_rack?full=1 Mar 23 05:22:58 nas-admin.org/cheli.nas is the physical machine on which the preware.org autobuilder is hosted. Mar 23 05:23:10 Shiny Mar 23 05:23:22 I don't get to work with actual servers at my jon Mar 23 05:23:23 job Mar 23 05:23:34 Their all hosted on a campus wide cloud server Mar 23 05:24:14 penguincomputing? Mar 23 05:24:20 That said, Its great because I can unplug a physical host and not take it down Mar 23 05:24:56 we also get shiny new hardware to play with, like pico projectors Mar 23 05:40:03 is there a reference for the webos filesystem layout? Mar 23 05:40:26 what do you mean reference? Mar 23 05:40:47 as in a list of where things are by default? Mar 23 05:40:49 benklop_: OpenEmbedded Mar 23 05:41:22 going there now Mar 23 05:41:49 i'm actually talking about the webos specific stuff Mar 23 05:41:58 look in the doctor Mar 23 05:42:00 where do user added applications go? Mar 23 05:58:14 benklop_: /media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/applications Mar 23 05:59:44 benklop_: when do you think QtEmu will be able to run the webOS Emulator ? Mar 23 06:01:01 rwhitby: now that I have a Pre, i have some motivation to make it do exactly that.. Mar 23 06:02:02 I can't imagine hacking it up to do it would be too hard, Mar 23 06:02:23 but it will be a little more complicated to make it do it and not be hackish Mar 23 06:03:03 rwhitby: does this mean someone other than me actually uses it? Mar 23 06:03:54 benklop_: nope, I'm using VirtualBox Mar 23 06:05:13 rwhitby: heh, okay Mar 23 06:05:20 benklop_: what sort of things are you looking to do first with the Pre? Mar 23 06:06:01 i'm adding the ability for the dialler to dial through google voice. Mar 23 06:06:19 totally transparently Mar 23 06:06:25 with ooptions in the preferences dialog Mar 23 06:06:29 to turn it on and off Mar 23 06:06:29 as a patch? Mar 23 06:06:44 well i hope to turn it into a patch Mar 23 06:06:56 nice. now if only google voice was available outside of the US ... Mar 23 06:07:00 at the moment i'm just backnig up files and playing with my actual device Mar 23 06:07:29 i honestly am not totally sure what the best way to do this is Mar 23 06:07:50 i cant seem to get network access to the sdk virtualbox device Mar 23 06:08:32 benklop_: the most complete backup is to bootie ram boot the installer initramfs, and then dd and netcat the flash before lvm is starteda Mar 23 06:09:03 benklop_: oh, add a second host-only vboxnet0 interface, and use that for host<->guest communication on 192.168.56.x Mar 23 06:09:46 oh, excellent. thanks! now i can try to do this without fear Mar 23 06:10:22 it should come up as 192.168.56.100 Mar 23 06:13:09 hmm. so how exactly to I make virtualbox let me add another interface? Mar 23 06:13:45 cant say i've used it recently.. Mar 23 06:14:00 stop the machine, device settings, network **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Mar 23 11:58:15 2010 Mar 23 11:59:25 hi all Mar 23 12:00:28 hi jaycanuck Mar 23 12:00:34 and rwhitby Mar 23 12:00:46 hi rod Mar 23 12:01:35 swiss openexpo ist tomorrow .. yay Mar 23 12:01:46 adora send me 18 books Mar 23 12:01:57 and a bunch of stickers Mar 23 12:02:09 swisstomcat: cool Mar 23 12:02:14 rwhitby: ups, is that one yours too?

Mar 23 12:03:21 okay Mar 23 12:03:44 maybe i can do some live programming on saverestore too Mar 23 12:13:10 morning all Mar 23 12:14:02 morning Mar 23 12:15:22 AnOutsider_: how'd you go with getting the service running? Mar 23 12:15:36 I didn't Mar 23 12:15:48 I left a pastie last night of what was happening and went to bed ;) Mar 23 12:16:02 @ the office now, so I'm gonna pull the files down here and try again shortly Mar 23 12:16:13 fresh emulator, so if there's something diff I should try, let me know Mar 23 12:18:20 AnOutsider_: be aware that both you and swisstomcat are working on it at the same time Mar 23 12:19:07 working on the gui you mean? Mar 23 12:19:16 oh, so go ahead swiss, I was just ging to do the code since no one else wanted to Mar 23 12:19:19 yeah Mar 23 12:19:33 i'm not working on it at the moment Mar 23 12:19:40 maybe tomorrow Mar 23 12:19:55 windows needs a reboot, brb Mar 23 12:19:55 maybe we should coordinate our effort? Mar 23 12:20:03 linux doesn't need reboots :) Mar 23 12:21:25 un Mar 23 12:21:29 less youre loading an ew kernel Mar 23 12:21:30 well, only sometimes for updates ;) Mar 23 12:21:59 i wish ic ould find a channel for help with traktor Mar 23 12:22:42 #farmville? ;) Mar 23 12:24:21 back Mar 23 12:26:18 should we coordinate our efforts since you wanted to work on the gui as well? Mar 23 12:26:42 traktor by NI ;p Mar 23 12:28:10 swisstomcat: there is now a saverestore script for saving SMS and IM messages Mar 23 12:28:40 yeah, i saw that commited Mar 23 12:28:49 being commited Mar 23 12:29:27 something i could use because i doctor my device quite a bit lately :) Mar 23 12:29:44 @swiss: nope, you're not doing me any emotional damage :) Mar 23 12:29:46 swisstomcat: so, to start with, all we really need is a full list under each of save and restore, with toggles and a go button. Mar 23 12:30:06 alll yours, was just offering to help out since last night it didn't seem like anyone was going to do the UI Mar 23 12:30:15 swisstomcat: we can get fancy about the filtering later Mar 23 12:30:33 yep, i agree Mar 23 12:30:48 just need to figure out the service interfacing .. although it looks easy Mar 23 12:31:00 so I'm now going to bed, and dreaming of someone creating that while I sleep ;) Mar 23 12:31:07 anoutsider: i don't mind help Mar 23 12:31:21 g'night and dream well :) Mar 23 12:32:17 swisstomcat: I also updated the service to use the new /var/palm/event.d and /var/palm/system-services directories on 1.4, which don't need the remount,ro for installing services as part of an application Mar 23 12:32:46 swisstomcat: in essence, saverestore is the guinea pig for all the things that will happen to Preware Mar 23 12:32:47 @swiss, well I couldn't get the service srunning in the emu Mar 23 12:33:15 AnOutsider_: did you try luna-send ing to it? Mar 23 12:33:31 (i.e. was the service not running, or was it just not reachable from mojo?) Mar 23 12:33:58 I can try that too Mar 23 12:34:49 i installed the service last night but didn't get around to test it Mar 23 12:34:53 so I basically go into preware/build.git/testing/saverestore on ubuntu karmic, hit "make package", and then palm-install the resulting i686 ipkg to the emulator Mar 23 12:35:40 ~testing Mar 23 12:35:41 [testing] done - but yes, further excursions will take place elsewhere Mar 23 12:35:42 or you could just palm-install http://ipkg.preware.org/feeds/webos-internals/testing/i686/org.webosinternals.saverestore_0.1.6_i686.ipk Mar 23 12:35:49 ~testing-feed Mar 23 12:35:50 i heard testing-feed is a means of testing new WebOS Internals products, documented at http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Testing_Feeds Mar 23 12:35:54 :) Mar 23 12:36:17 told you i'm an apprentice Mar 23 12:36:42 gonna try the palm install method Mar 23 12:36:58 anoutsider: i'll try to install it right now Mar 23 12:38:51 how do i luna-send something to it? Mar 23 12:40:33 http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Luna_Send Mar 23 12:40:37 just ssh into the emu Mar 23 12:41:06 yeah, just found that Mar 23 12:41:34 isn't there a version method on that service? Mar 23 12:41:43 luna-send -n 1 palm://org.webosinternals.saverestore/version {} Mar 23 12:41:43 ** Message: serviceResponse Handling: 2, {"returnValue":false,"errorCode":-1,"errorText":"Method \"version\" with signature \"s\" on interface \"org.json\" doesn't exist\n"} Mar 23 12:42:43 luna-send -n 1 "palm://org.webosinternals.saverestore/list" {} Mar 23 12:42:48 I didnt see one yesterday Mar 23 12:42:55 jsut list, save, restore and status I think Mar 23 12:43:29 luna-send -n 1 luna://org.webosinternals.saverestore '{}' Mar 23 12:43:49 i thought you went to bed? Mar 23 12:43:53 luna-send -n 1 luna://org.webosinternals.saverestore/list '{}' Mar 23 12:43:58 tat actually doesn't work Mar 23 12:44:05 luna-send -n 1 "palm://org.webosinternals.saverestore/list" {} Mar 23 12:44:06 that did tho Mar 23 12:44:18 this works for me: luna-send -n 1 luna://org.webosinternals.saverestore/list '{}' Mar 23 12:44:46 palm: or luna: doesn't matter Mar 23 12:44:52 yeah, that works here too Mar 23 12:45:53 ok, now you are both enabled with the service, I can go to bed. Mar 23 12:46:07 yep, we're good to go Mar 23 12:46:19 thanks Mar 23 12:46:35 and app/models/SaveRestoreService.js should have the right params Mar 23 12:47:06 aye Mar 23 12:47:11 @swiss, heh, now komodo won't recognize the emu. oi Mar 23 12:47:42 ouch Mar 23 12:47:42 * rwhitby bbt Mar 23 12:47:49 what did you do? Mar 23 12:48:26 nothing at all. once I got the service working, i booted up komodo edit, tried to launch the project, no dice Mar 23 12:48:44 updated templarian's plugin thinking maybe that was it, still no dice. Gonna try updating the emulator Mar 23 12:49:19 and on the command line? Mar 23 12:49:40 it's not recognizing any palm-* commands Mar 23 12:49:46 error? Mar 23 12:49:47 whch is why I suspect the SDK Mar 23 12:54:19 maybe the PATH is wrong or not set? Mar 23 12:56:29 yeah, had to remove some stuff I added for Titanium Mar 23 12:58:16 working now? Mar 23 13:00:26 yep Mar 23 13:00:48 luna-send too? Mar 23 13:01:27 luna-send always worked for me Mar 23 13:01:36 just not the command line rod pastd Mar 23 13:01:44 what error do you get? Mar 23 13:02:05 I'm no longer in SSH to pull it Mar 23 13:02:13 but hitting the service wasnt a prob Mar 23 13:03:20 do you want to work on the gui ... i wont have any time before tonight (if even) Mar 23 13:04:43 I can get soem time in today. I'll pop in later on and we can compare notes Mar 23 13:05:22 allright Mar 23 13:05:41 another cat! meeeooowww Mar 23 13:06:09 * nt4cats spits up a hairball Mar 23 13:07:43 haha Mar 23 13:07:53 * AnOutsider_ doesn't want to be in the middle of a catfight Mar 23 13:09:25 * swisstomcat purrs Mar 23 13:09:55 * nt4cats looks about with calculated indifference, then flops down for a nap. Mar 23 13:10:26 cats ARE bitchy like that, aren't they Mar 23 13:10:57 AnOutsider_: I have three of the little hairy bastards in my house -- wouldn't want it any other way. Mar 23 13:11:18 we have just one Mar 23 13:11:31 unless it brings a friend Mar 23 13:11:56 haha Mar 23 13:12:08 I did away with cats ages ago, smelly attitudey bastids they are Mar 23 13:13:20 AFK? Mar 23 13:15:17 I agree with Samuel Clemens (a.k.a. Mark Twain) regarding cats ... "If a man could be crossed with the cat, it would improve man, but it would deteriorate the cat." Mar 23 13:15:55 haha Mar 23 13:16:04 and AFK because I put my away message up Mar 23 13:17:36 aha, AFK=away from keyboard Mar 23 13:19:12 indeed, that way no one IMs me Mar 23 13:19:34 I mainly put it up for AIM, MSN, GTALK etc, but IRC is set to change nick to AFK when I do go "away" Mar 23 13:22:05 NSY Mar 23 13:22:19 ok, I'll bite Mar 23 13:25:04 i prefer for people to think i'm ignoring them when i go afk, it increases my reputation :) Mar 23 13:25:17 "NSY Mar 23 13:25:24 "NSY" == "Naturists Search Yahoo!" Mar 23 13:25:27 NSY=not seen yet Mar 23 13:25:30 hehe Mar 23 13:55:36 i can see you Mar 23 13:56:00 I think I may have found the reason why luna crashes after 1.4... As well as a fix Mar 23 13:57:27 TheInvsbleManpre: spill the details, please. Mar 23 13:58:40 I ran webOS repair utility and I have not had a single luna crash since. I noticed repair utility replaced a lot of missing image files such as random wifi icons and such (im guessing due to theming) my guess is these crashes are being caused by the Pre trying to load these missing image files and timing out because it cannot do so, since it thinks it's frozen it reboots luna. Mar 23 13:59:50 I don't know if my theory is correct but I can tell you that webOS repair utility fixed it. Mar 23 14:04:22 nt4cats: were you having the luna crash issue as well? Mar 23 14:06:40 i havent used any themes Mar 23 14:06:45 and it crashes for me Mar 23 14:07:19 so i think ur theory is wrong :p Mar 23 14:09:31 yeah, same here ... no themes and random luna crashes Mar 23 14:10:11 Hmm well ok then. In any case. WebOS repair utility fixed it for me. You may want to try it Mar 23 14:10:25 hrm, i have no themes, and no crashes. i guess i'm lucky Mar 23 14:10:45 I didn't even turn on the override so I was able to keep all of my patches. Mar 23 14:12:25 are you sure you are on 1.4, mikewx :) Mar 23 14:12:42 pretty sure, i lostthe ability to tether :) Mar 23 14:12:46 The links to the doctors in the toolcain are broken. I'm downloading and renaming the V1.4 version riight now. But it should be fixed by someone Mar 23 14:12:52 i had many luna crashes Mar 23 14:13:35 Mine used to crash like every 10 minutes Mar 23 14:14:07 rwhitby: did you get the flyer from SCALE expo, so we can use it here at the OpenExpo in switzerland? Mar 23 14:14:18 he's asleep Mar 23 14:14:28 ~seen rwhitby Mar 23 14:14:29 rwhitby is currently on #webos-internals #oe #meego #nslu2-linux. Has said a total of 337 messages. Is idling for 1h 27m 54s, last said: 'and app/models/SaveRestoreService.js should have the right params'. Mar 23 14:15:10 anyone here that was at SCALE? Mar 23 14:31:47 hey zsoc Mar 23 14:32:09 yo Mar 23 14:32:12 watup Mar 23 14:32:34 i'm looking for someone that was at SCALE Mar 23 14:32:49 I've had a handful of luna crashes -- each time on 'wake up' from power-save mode. Not too many, but enough to be annoying. Mar 23 14:33:01 same here nt4cats Mar 23 14:33:13 swisstomcat: jacques and mousey Mar 23 14:33:23 ~seen mousey Mar 23 14:33:25 mousey <~wtfisme@sea02-v600-nat.marchex.com> was last seen on IRC in channel #webos-internals, 4d 20h 19m 26s ago, saying: 'i know zip and zlib are both available'. Mar 23 14:33:29 ~seen jacques Mar 23 14:33:30 jacques <~6217fec1@nslu2-linux/jacques> was last seen on IRC in channel #webos-internals, 14h 23m 46s ago, saying: 'bbl'. Mar 23 14:33:59 thanks, i'll wait for jacques Mar 23 15:04:10 I try ti install the widk and running on an error Mar 23 15:04:22 can someone have a look => http://pastebin.com/t4bC7dLY Mar 23 15:04:38 host-os? Mar 23 15:04:48 I have no idea. I took the 1.4 webdoctor jars as the 1.3.5 is not avalable anymore Mar 23 15:04:56 ubutu 10.4 Mar 23 15:05:34 ubutu 10.9 Mar 23 15:06:03 9.10? Mar 23 15:06:07 I followes the steps from the wiki and doning 'make stange' right now when the error happens Mar 23 15:06:16 swisstomcat: yes, sorry Mar 23 15:09:23 32bit? Mar 23 15:12:47 yes Mar 23 15:12:50 hape: someone may have forgot a dep. I can't look at it right now. is there a libpng folder or similar in /packages ? Mar 23 15:13:54 hape: nevermind, I see there is. cd to packages/libpng12 and 'make stage' Mar 23 15:14:48 zsoc_wirc: yes it is there Mar 23 15:15:30 although I see evas has it as a dep, odd Mar 23 15:16:21 like I said, try manually moving to that folder and make stage Mar 23 15:17:13 dtzWill: pidgin ready for testing? :D Mar 23 15:18:43 zsoc_wirc: that is the result => http://pastebin.com/FSEM0iHf Mar 23 15:21:23 hape: go back to the main folder now and try make stage again Mar 23 15:24:12 zsoc_wirc: same result :-( Mar 23 15:25:11 hape: you could just move that package folder to nonworking/ until someone else can test it Mar 23 15:25:35 that way it will skip it on make stage Mar 23 15:26:27 you mean the libpng12 package? Mar 23 15:28:37 hape: no, whatever was missing it. maybe evas? I didn't get a good look at it I'm on my pre :p Mar 23 15:29:23 yes ist was evas Mar 23 15:31:38 unless you need it for some reason, just move it for now Mar 23 15:32:26 zsoc_wirc: when I ermove the evas package the make stage still try to enter the evas folder and stops with an error as it diden't exist Mar 23 15:34:57 hape: nono move the whole folder Mar 23 15:35:23 hape: if you go into the folder and 'make clean' it will get rid of everything but the makefile anyway Mar 23 15:35:40 hell just delete it, you can always checkout again if you need to Mar 23 15:35:45 That si what i ded . I do not have a evas folder in the packages fodler right now Mar 23 15:36:23 looks like the make stage created alist somewhere what folders was there and is reusibng that right now Mar 23 15:36:28 oh something else probably has it as a dependecy Mar 23 15:37:20 hape: I mean, your toolchain is probably built fine. you may not even need the rest of those packages at Mar 23 15:40:05 ok, will give the test Doom a try Mar 23 15:41:46 good morning everyone Mar 23 15:41:52 mornin Mar 23 15:41:56 doom compiles fine ;-) Mar 23 15:42:28 morning Mar 23 15:43:22 i'm trying to add a setting to the preferences dialog in the dialer app. I got it showing up just fine, but it's less than obvious how settings are saved and retrieved. is there tutorial or something I can examine? Mar 23 15:45:45 where does it save the data? Mar 23 15:45:46 cookies? Mar 23 15:46:35 zsoc_wirc: Thanks Mar 23 15:46:49 np Mar 23 16:09:29 and the palm assassination attempts continue Mar 23 16:09:30 is there a way to change sms notification without installing preware? Mar 23 16:11:02 I really think evil entities are trying to soften them up to buy their patent portfolio Mar 23 16:14:06 jacques: I agree. Mar 23 16:14:18 jacques: the android thing is just laughable Mar 23 16:14:31 besides, bono has too much money for palm to fail Mar 23 16:59:11 zsoc_wirc: yo Mar 23 16:59:25 yessir? Mar 23 16:59:31 ugh Mar 23 16:59:57 zsoc_wirc: u should see how sexy yason ( a lisp json lib) is Mar 23 17:00:28 so easy to go from lists and hashmaps to a json string Mar 23 17:00:30 and back from json string to lists and hashmaps Mar 23 17:00:52 Yason, nbj. Mar 23 17:00:55 i really need to get ecls working on arm Mar 23 17:01:03 so that i can get lisp services going Mar 23 17:01:24 services would be so easy to write Mar 23 17:02:56 PuffTheMagic: sounds fun.f Mar 23 17:03:42 * PuffTheMagic 's sarcasm detector just went off Mar 23 17:04:52 warning: non-male channel visitor detected Mar 23 17:05:23 penises, that is all Mar 23 17:05:44 Someone crashed the sausagefest Mar 23 17:07:50 * lemketron wonders why people would want to run qtemu instead of virtualbox Mar 23 17:09:03 (especially if it's just a wrapper around qemu, which is WAY slower than VirtualBox for x86 virtualization, or was this time last year anyway) Mar 23 17:09:14 thats easy answer Mar 23 17:09:39 virtualbox kernel modules are usually way behind the kernel that people are using Mar 23 17:09:49 huh. Mar 23 17:09:50 where as kvm is always up to date Mar 23 17:10:10 lets say i am running 2.6.33_rc* on my system Mar 23 17:10:13 virtualbox kernel modules build locally when installed. Mar 23 17:10:21 are you saying they aren't compatible with "newer" kernels? Mar 23 17:10:22 latest vbox modules are typically not out for rc kernels Mar 23 17:10:30 PuffTheMagic: hey you know things. explain to me RT kernels Mar 23 17:10:31 so vbox wont run Mar 23 17:10:42 but qemu would Mar 23 17:10:42 so you're running bleeding edge kernels, then? Mar 23 17:10:51 yup Mar 23 17:10:54 have you used qemu before for x86 ? Mar 23 17:11:01 yeah Mar 23 17:11:08 zsoc_wirc: what do u want to know Mar 23 17:11:25 The reason the OE machine type for webOS is called "qemux86" is because we were using that before we switched to VirtualBox because it smoked qemu in performance. Mar 23 17:11:29 PuffTheMagic: why do they exist and what is the conceptual differences Mar 23 17:11:45 lemketron: yeah vbox is def faster Mar 23 17:11:56 lemketron: i was just giving you probably the biggest reason for not using vbox Mar 23 17:11:59 well, that and the fact that it gets updated regularly with nice installers for Mac, Windows, and Linux, which probably doesn't matter to you. Mar 23 17:12:12 lemketron: i use vbox Mar 23 17:12:19 qemu on the Mac seems to have died, and building on windows was painful Mar 23 17:12:28 puff: which kernel are you using? Mar 23 17:12:33 nt4cats: my kernel Mar 23 17:12:37 zen-sources :D Mar 23 17:12:50 my old kernel... i dont maintain it any more Mar 23 17:12:59 but people still do Mar 23 17:13:10 zsoc_wirc: so RT kernels Mar 23 17:13:22 zsoc_wirc: have a different scheduler Mar 23 17:13:29 with realtime preemption Mar 23 17:13:37 I have 2.6.32.9-70 (not terribly old) + vbox (not RT) Mar 23 17:13:47 zsoc_wirc: which requires lots of changes all over the kernel Mar 23 17:13:50 to work properly Mar 23 17:14:00 which is why its like 6 kernel version old all the time Mar 23 17:14:04 and why it will never be in mainline Mar 23 17:14:05 I see. shouldn't it in theory be faster? Mar 23 17:14:09 no Mar 23 17:14:11 its not faster at all Mar 23 17:14:19 so then it's used for... Mar 23 17:14:25 low latency stuff Mar 23 17:14:32 like if u need perfect signaling Mar 23 17:14:34 doing DSP shit Mar 23 17:14:35 embedded? Mar 23 17:14:38 I see Mar 23 17:14:38 ehhh Mar 23 17:14:45 not really needed embedded Mar 23 17:14:53 unless need real time for some reason Mar 23 17:15:17 the preemption in the kernel is good enough for 99.9% of people Mar 23 17:15:23 for low latency Mar 23 17:15:27 PuffTheMagic: in other news, still can't figure out where the pops are coming from. and I can't get the queue to be leaky downstream Mar 23 17:15:44 morning Mar 23 17:16:13 zsoc_wirc: well if u have low latency (smaller time slices) then u get more context switches (which decreases throughput) so RT is a trade off for performance in IO terms usually Mar 23 17:16:19 chrisa: hello joe Mar 23 17:16:36 zsoc_wirc: u getting popping from pulse right? Mar 23 17:16:38 not from alsa Mar 23 17:16:47 PuffTheMagic: er.. both actually Mar 23 17:16:53 on the pre? Mar 23 17:16:57 yep Mar 23 17:17:02 what are u doing? Mar 23 17:17:13 recording audio? Mar 23 17:17:17 oh Mar 23 17:17:17 so Mar 23 17:17:24 I don't have the pipeline right in front of me atm Mar 23 17:17:25 u cant record in realtime huh Mar 23 17:17:37 reduce the hz down to 8000 or 21000 or something Mar 23 17:17:46 I need to play with devices. I think using a pulse .monitor is the best option Mar 23 17:18:53 zsoc_wirc: if u are not using a reduce sampling for the mic then that is probably your issue Mar 23 17:20:17 I used 44100 Mar 23 17:20:22 yeah sicko Mar 23 17:20:24 u cant do that Mar 23 17:20:25 :D Mar 23 17:20:30 which is what mediaserver uses for video Mar 23 17:20:41 really? Mar 23 17:20:42 they get away with it with pushing leaks downstream Mar 23 17:20:57 I can't get that to work right, even when I tell it to it doesnt Mar 23 17:21:01 just reduce it Mar 23 17:21:06 the mic isnt even that good Mar 23 17:21:30 although I'm using gst-launch, you mat only be able to use that property in an app Mar 23 17:21:31 that's a good point Mar 23 17:21:31 I'll try 12050 Mar 23 17:47:32 (make-json-rpc-request "status" (list "a" "b") 1234) Mar 23 17:47:32 "{\"id\":1234,\"params\":[\"a\",\"b\"],\"method\":\"status\"}" Mar 23 17:47:42 ;D Mar 23 17:48:11 ping jaques Mar 23 17:59:21 with the roam only toggle app/icon, should I be able to roam on evdo? or only 1x? Mar 23 17:59:48 swisstomcat: hi Mar 23 18:00:08 I assume you were pinging me Mar 23 18:00:12 yeah Mar 23 18:00:22 do you still have the flyer from SCALE? Mar 23 18:00:35 we are creating one for tomorrow's openexpo Mar 23 18:01:36 I'm not sure I ever had the electronic version - it was written by Rick_work, sent to ka6sox and printed by some friends at SCALE - I just handed them out Mar 23 18:01:53 what did it have on it? Mar 23 18:02:07 ping rick_work Mar 23 18:03:28 information about what webos-internals does, and resources for further information - wiki, irc Mar 23 18:04:31 so far we have irc and web (wiki) on it Mar 23 18:04:45 but also thinking of local contact adresses here in switzerland Mar 23 18:05:58 so what we should alsoadd to the flyer? Mar 23 18:06:13 our email? Mar 23 18:06:22 our names and irc names?so if they get here, then they know us? Mar 23 18:06:48 swiss contact: our e-mails, names, irc-nicks Mar 23 18:06:56 i think as rwhitby said, they should get here Mar 23 18:07:28 swisstomcat: yoiu have thinmachine.ch right? Mar 23 18:07:34 what about webos@..? Mar 23 18:07:46 anything goes Mar 23 18:08:00 hm.. Mar 23 18:08:00 info@thinmachine.ch Mar 23 18:08:05 that's already set up Mar 23 18:08:12 or even my name Mar 23 18:08:16 firstname.lastname Mar 23 18:08:28 you can have one too, if you want to join thinmachine :) Mar 23 18:09:32 when are you going to print those flyers? Mar 23 18:09:45 tonight.. Mar 23 18:09:51 ah, at home Mar 23 18:10:25 hm.. i think our names, a single email and our nichks are enought.. Mar 23 18:10:37 yeah Mar 23 18:10:45 and maybe Swiss Contact as the title? Mar 23 18:10:46 swisstomcat: can you setup webos@thinmachine.ch and forward themto you an me? Mar 23 18:10:53 sure Mar 23 18:12:06 Swiss Contact: M... L... (nick: swisstomcat), T... W... (nick: noaXess), webos@thin... Mar 23 18:12:08 okay? Mar 23 18:12:31 sounds good Mar 23 18:12:33 maybe intwo lines.. thats my woman's job :) Mar 23 18:12:44 right, your wife is the designer Mar 23 18:12:50 jep Mar 23 18:16:33 bbs Mar 23 19:09:37 hello.. can someone here tell me where can i find sample program to use storage feature for webOS Mar 23 19:09:56 what storage feature? Mar 23 19:10:05 database Mar 23 19:10:11 depot? Mar 23 19:10:13 store data,, i mean Mar 23 19:10:24 yes,, or maybe html5 Mar 23 19:10:29 same thing Mar 23 19:10:32 no luck with webos101 or developer.palm.com? Mar 23 19:11:17 kind of,, there i found some detil,, i actually want code snippet,, Mar 23 19:11:35 I just cut and paste and it worked Mar 23 19:11:37 i'm making some error,, so need a snippet Mar 23 19:11:58 halfhalo :from where did u cut and paste? Mar 23 19:12:22 i was using the book i mentioned yesterday ... good examples there Mar 23 19:12:37 ok Mar 23 19:12:51 it was from webos101 Mar 23 19:21:55 what's good Mar 23 19:26:49 the weather was quite good today Mar 23 19:33:57 hello, i am looking at instructions on installing vnc client from the webos -internals wiki. Has anyone done this ? Mar 23 19:34:00 was raining here Mar 23 19:38:03 guess that means no ? Mar 23 19:41:37 no Mar 23 19:45:17 bbl Mar 23 20:14:53 hahahaha Mar 23 20:15:18 im writing a service Mar 23 20:15:22 but its not for the pre Mar 23 20:15:27 but i am so used to lunasevice Mar 23 20:15:32 that I am basically mimicing it Mar 23 20:15:33 :D Mar 23 20:15:37 lulz Mar 23 20:15:52 well not really luna service Mar 23 20:15:56 its json rpc Mar 23 20:16:01 thats 1/2 of lunasercice Mar 23 20:16:08 im not using dbus Mar 23 20:18:01 I need more chips and ranch Mar 23 20:18:16 or my fingers to stop freezing while using this pos keyboard Mar 23 20:19:37 who ever though a flat keyboard with chiclet keys was a good idea should be shot Mar 23 20:21:05 actually, whoever though running the ac at 50F should be shot Mar 23 20:22:49 yup, it is currently 57F in here Mar 23 20:22:57 while outside it is 80F Mar 23 20:23:01 haha Mar 23 20:23:31 I have theory that the reason governments take forever to do crap is their to cold to think straight Mar 23 20:25:29 brrrr Mar 23 20:26:02 my ear fell off it is so cold Mar 23 20:57:28 morning Mar 23 20:57:42 morning Mar 23 20:57:49 * halfhalo goes back to looking at evo 4g pics Mar 23 21:02:36 halfhalo: that damn lcd is back up to 300 Mar 23 21:02:36 hehe Mar 23 21:02:40 damn dell and their price games Mar 23 21:02:41 So Mar 23 21:02:49 the HTC evo is one rancid phone Mar 23 21:02:55 but you already have one so its all good Mar 23 21:02:59 did you see how removing the trackball creates a huge issue for them Mar 23 21:03:07 ugly ass arrows in the onscreen keyboard interface Mar 23 21:03:13 Haven't all the trackballs been an issue? Mar 23 21:03:26 It's not the trackball that's the problem Mar 23 21:03:30 psykoz: have to agree on that part... but the phone is gorgeous Mar 23 21:03:33 the problem with android is it is a five button interface Mar 23 21:03:45 ah Mar 23 21:03:49 they need to move the call/endcall buttons on screen Mar 23 21:03:58 get rid of the trackball and do better cursor tracking on screen Mar 23 21:04:07 I'm not the one to talk to about android. I don't like what they did for the ui, or what they did to the linux install Mar 23 21:04:08 and only have the menu/back button and maybe one other button Mar 23 21:04:36 chrisa, you mean webos isn't going to get bionic to replace glibc any time soon? Mar 23 21:04:50 http://www.engadget.com/photos/htc-evo-4g-vs-iphone-vs-nexus-one-0/#2826096 Mar 23 21:04:58 this is just ugly (those four onscreen cursor arrows) Mar 23 21:05:08 how is that even usable? :) Mar 23 21:06:13 bpadalino|work: no, but if I actually reply to these google interview offers I should probably brush up on why it's great Mar 23 21:06:35 chrisa, hows it feel to be a wanted man ? Mar 23 21:06:56 Not very special, I think everyone in the mobile space probably has recruiting vultures Mar 23 21:07:18 no one tries recruiting me :( Mar 23 21:08:05 chrisa, don't bother with those google folk, anyway .. :) Mar 23 22:19:18 rwhitby: pong, very delayed :) Mar 23 22:19:27 dtzWill: how about that pidgin? :D Mar 23 22:19:37 also, anyone in the FFXIV closed beta? Mar 23 22:20:25 zsoc: well i think pidgin in staging works--it's mostly a matter of packaging it up--and i think pidgin'll need a wm to keep it in line :) Mar 23 22:22:06 dtzWill: I am wrong to assume that it plays well with just X? You shouldn't need a WM unless er.. hmm.. I wonder if you can use something really simple, like just a window decorator (metacity or emerald etc) Mar 23 22:22:32 No, that's silly, emerald doesn't work without compiz and metacity is probably gnome reliant Mar 23 22:22:46 I see, so this goes back to the efficacy of the lightest weight WM available :p Mar 23 22:24:13 zsoc: oh yeah we don't need window decorator--the manager would just be to a)allow switching between the windows (buddy list/convo window/whatever other dialogs), and b)make them full screen or something appropriate Mar 23 22:24:36 Yes. lets do this. Mar 23 22:24:41 zsoc: and yeah we have icewm staged i think, and matchbox--not sure if i've pushed it yet Mar 23 22:24:45 What about elementary? Mar 23 22:25:10 metacity used to be fairly indepedent, but then was consumed by the beast Mar 23 22:25:20 hm.. what about notifications? I wonder if we can interface with a mojo app for dashboard play Mar 23 22:26:58 zsoc: yep, i've considered taken libnotify or the like and hijacking that into mojo :D Mar 23 22:27:28 Would totally work. Mar 23 22:27:44 zsoc: not sure if we can make it work in all cases, but we could probably make it work in many--but at least get the text there, maybe an image Mar 23 22:30:09 zsoc: but that's... a long way away haha :). but i think we could make it work :) Mar 23 22:59:02 * rwhitby has finally worked out a secure way to get a US visa card without needing a US bank account or US social security number. Mar 23 22:59:27 orly? Mar 23 22:59:30 how? Mar 23 22:59:56 www.simongiftaccount.com Mar 23 23:00:35 nice Mar 23 23:01:01 rwhitby: as long as the Patriot Act is around, you need a social to get a visa/mastercard in the US. Mar 23 23:01:04 All you need is someone in the US with an existing credit card to create an account there, and purchase a gift account, and then send it to you. You then just need a US address and phone number to accept and use the card. Just verified it works fine for the app catalog. Mar 23 23:01:36 Yeah, I have used a similar card before Mar 23 23:01:39 zsoc: I have empirical evidence to the contrary, for a preloaded VISA debit card Mar 23 23:01:39 Ah, the 'existing credit card' ties someone to that account. IE: you can't pay cash. Mar 23 23:01:49 So you _do_ need a social :p Mar 23 23:02:01 not me, the person purchasing the card for me. Mar 23 23:02:11 Although the one I got was a fastcard, which I paid for in cash at a wallgreen and could go online to refill with paypal Mar 23 23:02:23 so, I have heard conflicting stories as to wether freetether works in 1.4, does anyone know the answer? Mar 23 23:02:23 rwhitby: Right, but if you decide to use that card to buy uranium, that person who signed up with that card goes to jail for life. Mar 23 23:02:25 and they don't need to tell me their card number, or their address, or their phone number, so it's safe for them. Mar 23 23:02:50 zsoc: only if they knew I was going to use it for that purpose Mar 23 23:03:18 rwhitby: you don't know a whole lot about america do you? :p they are sending something oversees that's clearly meant for domestic use. That is international terrorist activity Mar 23 23:03:48 I'm just playing devil's advocate. We live in a police state over here. Mar 23 23:03:52 zsoc: glad I don't live in that country. Mar 23 23:04:21 we have coke. WE WIN. Mar 23 23:04:43 halfhalo_T400: every country in the world has coke. hint: it's not a secret any more. Mar 23 23:04:53 * halfhalo_T400 goes to get more coke and ice while looking shamefully at pepsi Mar 23 23:05:03 Yeah, but I needed a rebuttle Mar 23 23:05:11 And I'm out of coke, so its a win win Mar 23 23:06:11 although I do think paypal should be an accepted method of app payment Mar 23 23:08:07 guess nobody knows about my greetether question Mar 23 23:08:25 s/greetether/freetether/ Mar 23 23:08:25 cryptk meant: guess nobody knows about my freetether question Mar 23 23:11:18 uh-oh Mar 23 23:11:38 (or as Astro from the Jetsons says) "ruh-roh" Mar 23 23:11:54 \(or as Astro from the Jetsons says\) \"ruh-roh\" Mar 23 23:12:25 Headline: "Sprint unveils HTC WiMax phone EVO 4G" Mar 23 23:13:49 old news Mar 23 23:14:01 also could kill off palm Mar 23 23:14:14 halfhalo_T400: that's old news? Mar 23 23:14:28 old as in 4 hours old Mar 23 23:14:33 halfhalo_T400: :) Mar 23 23:14:41 I'm trying to make a native app for homebrew and I followed the install instructions for cross compiling and scratchbox but I'm getting errors: make[5]: *** [testmarshal.c] Error 139 make[5]: Leaving directory `/srv/preware/cross-compile/packages/glib-2.0/build/src/tests/gobject' make[4]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/srv/preware/cross-compile/packages/glib-2.0/build/src/tests' make[3]: ** Mar 23 23:14:46 Anyone know what's wrong? Mar 23 23:15:12 what platform are you running it on? Mar 23 23:15:12 rwhitby: I apologize. I just learned the verbiage in the patriot act states information must be collected, but not verified, and doest not specifically list SSN. Also, you can buy Simon giftcards with cash (or could at least as of recently) Mar 23 23:15:16 donrhummy: Mar 23 23:15:19 donrhummy: http://www.unixguide.net/linux/faq/09.06.shtml Mar 23 23:15:57 halfhalo_T400: what do you mean "could kill off palm" Mar 23 23:15:59 * rwhitby goes on an app catalog shopping spree Mar 23 23:16:41 dungeon hunter is excellent if you are into that kind of games Mar 23 23:16:53 The Evo is set for a summer release right around when the pre early adopters are up for upgrades. If palm does not have new hardware out by then I'm sure a ton of people wll ditch palm for android Mar 23 23:17:06 I'm sick of people saying "X could kill off palm". Mar 23 23:17:29 I'm not a huge HTC fan, but every time I play with a Hero I like it a little bit more. Mar 23 23:17:36 This is the first thing I really think can Mar 23 23:18:00 rwhitby: me too, like I always say, Palm will never go out of business, unless Bono runs out of money Mar 23 23:18:06 azakus: any idea how I fix this? Mar 23 23:18:09 Actually, you can quote me on that... just put "'s around it and a --zsoc at the end Mar 23 23:18:30 halfhalo_T400: I love my Pre. I've been a palm guy since the first ever pilot ... but I admit I'm going to be tempted to get a 4G phone if one is available this summer. Mar 23 23:18:42 Exactly Mar 23 23:18:56 People who got the pre want the best and the fastest Mar 23 23:19:03 donrhummy: not without knowing more about your system and the code Mar 23 23:19:09 I don't think Palm will die because of this ... but I hate to be tempted by another platform Mar 23 23:19:20 If there is no new webos device, and I am praying there will be, Alot of those people will move to the evo Mar 23 23:19:25 htc with webos?? Mar 23 23:19:38 what's the evo? Mar 23 23:19:50 Evo 4g Mar 23 23:19:51 hd2 with android Mar 23 23:19:54 basically Mar 23 23:19:59 and wimax Mar 23 23:20:06 OH GOD IT'S THAT PHONE Mar 23 23:20:10 that's the HD2 but with wimax Mar 23 23:20:11 If Palm were to announce a 4G webOS phone coming in the fall even I'd wait Mar 23 23:20:13 that phone is _HUGE_ Mar 23 23:20:16 heh - I've switched phones every 5 years in the past. This week's Palm stock price holds no interest for me. Mar 23 23:20:18 I'm using Ubuntu, and gcc is version 4:4.4.1-1ubuntu2 Mar 23 23:20:31 on your pre? Mar 23 23:20:31 wow Mar 23 23:20:35 ^_^ Mar 23 23:20:50 The code I'm trying to compile is from http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/WebOS_Internals_PDK Mar 23 23:20:51 donrhummy: doing any optimisations? Mar 23 23:20:51 rwhitby: it holds interest for me, I'm going to buy some :p Mar 23 23:21:11 nope. Just running the commands from that web page exactly Mar 23 23:21:13 donrhummy: what ubuntu version Mar 23 23:21:36 donrhummy: newest gcc 4.4 is 4.4.3 Mar 23 23:21:38 rwhitby: The stock price will not hurt palm much more than it already has. But loosing a big percentage of its admittedly slow marketshare? THAT will hurt. And hurt bad. Mar 23 23:21:43 It has 2 cameras, and 1 is 8mps, that's sexy. Mar 23 23:22:00 the kickstand is an odd choice though Mar 23 23:22:14 Ubuntu 9.10 Mar 23 23:22:38 azakus: do you think updating gcc will do it? Mar 23 23:22:48 azakus: hd screen... and hdmi out.. anyway, this is probably off topic Mar 23 23:23:02 How do I update gcc on Ubuntu? (I'm used to using Fedora and OpenSUSE) Mar 23 23:23:46 zsoc: I'm not excited by cameras on a phone. I really think they max out somewhere between poor and fair ... if you want good pictures use an actual camera. If you want a quick picture of something funny to post on your facebook profile, phone cameras are fine (but then you don't need 8MP) Mar 23 23:24:16 donrhummy: ubuntu *server* 9.10 ? Mar 23 23:24:21 nt4cats: resolution is like processor speed, the more the have, the less efficient you can be :p besides, having a secondary front facing camera is nice too :D Mar 23 23:24:42 zsoc: I agree the 2ndary one is a good idea Mar 23 23:24:46 anyway, if you've never held an hd2, it's _huge_, like too-big-for-a-phone huge Mar 23 23:25:03 nt4cats: especially with 4G... which would easily allow conferencing and streaming. also HD Sprint TV will be nice Mar 23 23:25:12 jacques: no, it's ubuntu desktop Mar 23 23:25:13 zsoc: kyocera had a palm phone back in the day ... it was pretty darn big Mar 23 23:25:19 I hope this is a wakeup call to palm though Mar 23 23:25:54 One that loudly says "If we don't show off what we have in the pipeline, we are screwed" Mar 23 23:25:57 nt4cats: Honestly, the Evo gets me excited about Palm's next phone :D I'm webOS till I die... but if WebOS dies, Android would probably be my very reluctant second choice... unless meego takes off in the states (which doesn't seem likely) Mar 23 23:26:16 donrhummy: we only support server :- Mar 23 23:26:19 * rwhitby imagines palm sitting there doing nothing and suddenly someone shouts "hey, the stock price is falling" and they all jump up and think "oh, we better create a good phone now". give me a break. Mar 23 23:26:19 \ Mar 23 23:26:34 too many variables otherwise Mar 23 23:26:49 halfhalo_T400: Palm was screwed when for two years they were developing WebOS, and were launching new phones that had WINMO on them. Palm is not screwed now. WebOS is a good product. Mar 23 23:27:10 unfortunately, so was betamax Mar 23 23:27:26 It's different, betamax was a format, it didn't represent a single companies livelyhood Mar 23 23:27:27 and OS/2 Mar 23 23:27:43 jacques: name one solid format that died and took a company down with it? Mar 23 23:27:46 and don't say HDDVD :p Mar 23 23:28:06 I had both the Kyocera QCP6035 and the 7135. Both Palm Pilot smartphones. The 6035 was pretty big as I recall Mar 23 23:28:22 I like my OS/2 example Mar 23 23:28:34 <--- is an OS/2 certified engineer Mar 23 23:28:52 jacques: are you saying I have to download and install ubuntu server and then everything else all over again and possibly get the same error? Mar 23 23:29:14 <--- earned money for several years developing OS/2 software and doing OS/2-related consulting (networking and app development) Mar 23 23:29:45 donrhummy: there are too many packages in desktop - we have reports of problems with it - packages interacting badly with the WIDK. we *know* server works, and it's what we run Mar 23 23:30:24 now, as I don't know what's causing your current error, it's possible it's unrelated to desktop/server differences Mar 23 23:30:35 donrhummy: alternatively, you could try giving more of the error (ie pastebin the entire log) and i would be willing to take a short moment to look at it Mar 23 23:30:47 yes, do that Mar 23 23:31:15 (on pastebin.com or another paste site) Mar 23 23:31:37 donrhummy: you might want to try gcc 4.3 Mar 23 23:31:38 Where is the log located? Mar 23 23:31:57 azakus: dod you mean 4.3 or 4.4.3? Mar 23 23:33:58 in my (supposedly up-to-date) ubuntu server 9.10, I have gcc version 4.4.1 (Ubuntu 4.4.1-4ubuntu9) Mar 23 23:34:14 I have the same version of gcc Mar 23 23:34:22 jacques: where is the log file located? Mar 23 23:34:44 The compiling occurred in /srv/preware/cross-compile but there's no log file there Mar 23 23:35:45 donrhummy: I think zsoc meant paste more of the messages which appear in your terminal Mar 23 23:35:54 donrhummy: it seems like the error happened while trying to build glib Mar 23 23:36:12 donrhummy: I would cd into the packages/glib-2.0 directory, 'make clean' and then 'make stage' Mar 23 23:36:36 you may want to also consider deleting the tar file in downloads/ for glib incase it's corrupt some how Mar 23 23:36:57 is it clean or clobber ? Mar 23 23:37:01 rwhitby: is there a make command to delete a downloads/ file for the given package in the WIDK? I don't recall Mar 23 23:37:06 donrhummy: Right, make clobber Mar 23 23:37:12 jacques: sorry, i've been in too many environments recently lol Mar 23 23:37:20 np same happens to me all the time Mar 23 23:37:57 alright, so I need a little help getting freetether to work... I am seeing online that it works fine in 1.4 however on my work laptop it never shows up in device manager Mar 23 23:37:59 donrhummy: did any other packages build before glib-2.0 ? or was that the first package the WIDK tried to build? Mar 23 23:38:00 zsoc: so I should cd to packages/glib-2.0 in the cross-compile folder and type make clobber and then make stage from that sub folder? Mar 23 23:38:07 the work laptop is a Vista x64 machine Mar 23 23:38:31 I have enabled usbnet, I have freetether and freetetherd installed... freetether is showing a USB IP Mar 23 23:38:34 any ideas? Mar 23 23:38:55 donrhummy: yes Mar 23 23:39:05 jacques: I'm not sure, how do I check? My terminal doesn't go far enough back Mar 23 23:39:06 cryptk: maybe someone who is familiar with the windows drivers / config can help - your problem might be on that end Mar 23 23:39:08 cryptk: enable usbnet on your Pre Mar 23 23:39:11 what I have read is that it should show up as a USB device that isn't working, then you install the driver and you are fine Mar 23 23:39:19 zsoc: usbnet is enabled Mar 23 23:39:34 cryptk: it's not if an RNDIS device was not found Mar 23 23:39:35 cryptk: so it doesn't appear at all as a USB device? Mar 23 23:39:44 doesn't appear at all Mar 23 23:39:50 cryptk: does it appear on any other machine? Mar 23 23:39:58 no other machine on hand to test it Mar 23 23:39:59 cryptk: does _anything_ happen when you plug in your pre? does it even charge? could it be your cable? Mar 23 23:40:10 I know I have done it on ym home computer with linux but that was with 1.3.5.1 Mar 23 23:40:16 ok, when I "make clobber" in the glib-2.0 folder I get: grep: /srv/preware/cross-compile/rootfs/armv7/usr/lib/ipkg/info/glib-2.0.list: No such file or directory grep: /srv/preware/cross-compile/rootfs/armv7/usr/lib/ipkg/info/glib-2.0.list: No such file or directory rm -f rm -rf build Mar 23 23:40:23 donrhummy: how far back does it do? please paste everything you can (well up to like 100 lines or so) Mar 23 23:40:25 zsoc: yes, other stuff happens, all of the normal things, just no USB network adapter appears Mar 23 23:40:41 cryptk: when you go into the device manager, are there any !'s or ?'s? Mar 23 23:40:45 I did usbnet enable in quick install terminal which then prompted for a reboot, which I did Mar 23 23:40:48 donrhummy: hmm Mar 23 23:40:49 zsoc: nope Mar 23 23:40:52 no new devices Mar 23 23:41:05 cryptk: that doesn't make sense. Mar 23 23:41:08 is there a way to cehck the status of usbnet? Mar 23 23:41:20 cryptk: if it shows an ip address in freetether it's working Mar 23 23:41:20 as far as I know you can only choose to enable or disable Mar 23 23:41:23 donrhummy: did you install the WIDK in /srv/preware/cross-compile ? Mar 23 23:41:26 should be 192.168.0.202 Mar 23 23:41:29 zsoc: then it is working Mar 23 23:41:30 solution: but a mifi Mar 23 23:41:33 yep, that is the IP Mar 23 23:41:34 ok....c; \ then mv -f ".deps/gvaluearray.Tpo" ".deps/gvaluearray.Plo"; \ else rm -f ".deps/gvaluearray.Tpo"; exit 1; \ fi gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -DG_LOG_DOMAIN=\"GLib-GObject\" -I.. -I../glib -I.. -DG_DISABLE_CAST_CHECKS -DG_DISABLE_DEPRECATED -DGOBJECT_COMPILATION -DG_DISABLE_CONST_RETURNS -pthread -g -O2 -Wall -MT gvaluearray.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/gvaluearray.Tpo -c gvaluearray.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/gva Mar 23 23:41:53 oilsworkn: can't afford a third data plan, lol Mar 23 23:41:58 hmmm...irc won't let me paste it all Mar 23 23:42:02 I had it working in 1.3.5.1...

Mar 23 23:43:14 O2 I think :P Mar 23 23:43:22 yes, O2, that's it Mar 23 23:43:27 lol Mar 23 23:43:38 cryptk: I'm going to blame vista on this one Mar 23 23:43:40 so far it appears to be a usbnet issue Mar 23 23:43:48 zsoc: I want to blame vista also Mar 23 23:44:04 http://pastebin.com/nJ9F63Fs Mar 23 23:44:11 (well a vista RNDIS issue) Mar 23 23:44:33 cryptk: the fact is, it should recognize it as an RNDIS device. Mar 23 23:45:05 zsoc just likes to blame the operating system Mar 23 23:45:10 "30754 Segmentation fault" - intresting Mar 23 23:45:11 I am going to try disabling and re-enabling usbnet... maybe something weird happened since my phone has had it on for so long and went from 1.3.5.1 to 1.4 with it enabled... Mar 23 23:45:31 * cryptk wishes terminal worked... the font in terminus is too small for me... Mar 23 23:45:35 jacques: i agree that is interesting Mar 23 23:45:37 jacques: I'm not sure I understand your question about installing widk because it was in doing that, that I got this error Mar 23 23:45:39 cryptk: yes, that's a very good idea Mar 23 23:45:42 cryptk: also, use xterm Mar 23 23:45:48 donrhummy: you have tried multiple times and it always fails exactly the same way? we used to have stability problems with qemu-arm, but I haven't seen those in a while Mar 23 23:46:07 zsoc: I will try out xterm Mar 23 23:46:17 donrhummy: my suggestion is to delete the associated glib-2.0 tar packages in downloads/, then make clobber and make stage in the glib-2.0 directory again Mar 23 23:46:25 cryptk: it has a pipe :D Mar 23 23:46:40 * halfhalo_T400 wishes divx was supported by gstreamer on the pre right now Mar 23 23:46:40 is there a keyboard shortcuts refrence for it? Mar 23 23:46:43 cryptk: hate to say this, but have you rebooted the windows machine? sometimes on windows usb drivers get "stuck" Mar 23 23:46:45 showing how to do the pipe etc? Mar 23 23:46:53 jacques: I jsut turned it on Mar 23 23:46:55 cryptk: yes, on the wiki under X server (since x server is the thing that's handling the keyboard stuff) Mar 23 23:47:01 zsoc: but when I make clobber I get grep: /srv/preware/cross-compile/rootfs/armv7/usr/lib/ipkg/info/glib-2.0.list: No such file or directory grep: /srv/preware/cross-compile/rootfs/armv7/usr/lib/ipkg/info/glib-2.0.list: No such file or directory rm -f rm -rf build Mar 23 23:47:04 zsoc: cool, thanks Mar 23 23:47:15 cryptk: but many shortcuts mimic terminal app (including sym+i for tab complete) Mar 23 23:47:22 zsoc: nice Mar 23 23:47:31 so my brother is getting his 6th pre from sprint Mar 23 23:47:34 is xterm the reason why terminal hasn't been fixed yet? Mar 23 23:47:35 donrhummy: that's fine Mar 23 23:47:41 PuffTheMagic: tell him to stop breaking them Mar 23 23:47:54 he doesnt Mar 23 23:47:57 its all for stupid shit Mar 23 23:48:00 the headphone hack Mar 23 23:48:01 jack Mar 23 23:48:04 pixels Mar 23 23:48:06 the usb door Mar 23 23:48:25 cryptk: there is $100 on the table for the first person to fix Terminal Mar 23 23:48:26 zsoc: in downloads it only has two files: arm-2007q3-51-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2 and i686-unknown-linux-gnu-1.4.1.tar.gz Mar 23 23:48:32 rwhitby: lol Mar 23 23:48:37 My headphone jack is busted, but I can live with it Mar 23 23:48:41 cryptk: no joke. a user sent in a bounty. Mar 23 23:48:41 whats wrong with terminal? Mar 23 23:48:43 rwhitby: and just who is going to pay that, lol Mar 23 23:48:52 halfhalo_T400: go to the sprint store Mar 23 23:48:54 BTW, thank you guys for helping me. :) Mar 23 23:48:57 halfhalo_T400: that is a mechanical defect Mar 23 23:49:01 donrhummy: ok then, just try to make stage it again, if that doesn't work then it's something else I can't diagnose on ubuntu-desktop Mar 23 23:49:01 u dont pay for that Mar 23 23:49:10 well, if I don't touch it its fine Mar 23 23:49:11 so in theory many X apps should be able to be ported fairly easily right? Mar 23 23:49:12 donrhummy: what happens when you "ls /srv/preware/cross-compile/rootfs/armv7/usr/lib/ipkg/info/glib-2.0.list" ? Mar 23 23:49:20 but if I rotate the jack it skips out Mar 23 23:49:22 cryptk: I will be paying it by PayPal to the one or more people who commit changes which contribute to Terminal working on 1.4.x Mar 23 23:49:30 kinda like when you have a bad headphone wire Mar 23 23:49:35 (if there is more than one, it will be shared equally) Mar 23 23:49:37 halfhalo_T400: defect... get a new phone Mar 23 23:49:51 but..... its a launch model! Mar 23 23:49:51 jacques: ls: cannot access /srv/preware/cross-compile/rootfs/armv7/usr/lib/ipkg/info/glib-2.0.list: No such file or directory Mar 23 23:50:00 and im to lazy to get a new one right now Mar 23 23:50:01 rwhitby: do we have the various bounties listed anywhere? Mar 23 23:50:01 rwhitby: is there any major glitch keeping it from working? some major hurdle imposed with 1.4? Mar 23 23:50:02 rwhitby: you know, xterm has almost now 100% mimiced terminal functionality... Mar 23 23:50:13 jacques: nope, that's the only one Mar 23 23:50:24 zsoc: and I see that xterm is nice and easy to read Mar 23 23:50:24 what about xterm? Mar 23 23:50:36 ok, i did make clobber and now doing make stage in glib-2.0 folder Mar 23 23:50:43 PuffTheMagic: that it works, and is nearly as good as Terminal was before it sploded Mar 23 23:50:54 zsoc: xterm? Mar 23 23:50:56 as in Mar 23 23:51:00 the real xterm? Mar 23 23:51:09 PuffTheMagic: yeah, as in X Server. Real xterm. It's in testing feed right now. Download it. Mar 23 23:51:17 PuffTheMagic: as in the terminal running in the X that has been ported to the pre Mar 23 23:51:20 Xserver? Mar 23 23:51:23 yes Mar 23 23:51:26 gross Mar 23 23:51:28 hell no Mar 23 23:51:30 I just installed it, it works great Mar 23 23:51:30 AS IN X Mar 23 23:51:33 ITS BEAUTIFUL Mar 23 23:51:34 haha Mar 23 23:51:34 zsoc: I would need to check with the person who put up the bounty as to whether xterm would be a substitute. But it needs to do the same character width as terminal for a start. Mar 23 23:51:41 zsoc: sure it works Mar 23 23:51:47 but is X Mar 23 23:51:52 on an embedded device Mar 23 23:52:00 rwhitby: we should start some sort of website for people to post bounties for webos-internals dev work :) Mar 23 23:52:12 PuffTheMagic: I agree, but at the moment it is the most functional of all the options on 1.4 Mar 23 23:52:14 raster: please educate PuffTheMagic about X on embedded devices ... Mar 23 23:52:18 rwhitby: yeah, bounties need to be pretty well specified, otherwise there are disagreements Mar 23 23:52:27 rwhitby: yo yo Mar 23 23:52:34 rwhitby: sorry... X + Luna = waste Mar 23 23:52:39 X or Luna = not so bad Mar 23 23:52:51 is X running in a card? Mar 23 23:53:05 PuffTheMagic: so. explain why you think x on embedded is bad? Mar 23 23:53:07 PuffTheMagic: yes Mar 23 23:53:14 it is in a card Mar 23 23:53:44 raster: his argument is on webOS, X is just another layer of redundancy, which is absolutely correct. Mar 23 23:53:53 Now, that being said, it runs _surprisingly_ well Mar 23 23:53:54 raster: i could see wayland running on an embedded device Mar 23 23:53:59 I hear XChat is pretty sexy too :) Mar 23 23:54:03 omg x server on embedded device?! Mar 23 23:54:05 w00t Mar 23 23:54:14 HEY! I FOUND RAM! Mar 23 23:54:15 if u want x server on phone go and run maemo Mar 23 23:54:16 :S Mar 23 23:54:27 hrm... firefox portable? Mar 23 23:54:31 PuffTheMagic: no. dont go bring gtotally immaturee and undefined display systems into it Mar 23 23:54:37 why is x bad for embedded? Mar 23 23:54:39 explain. Mar 23 23:54:50 ie - tell me what about x design/technology is so horrid Mar 23 23:54:53 I would love tabbed browsing Mar 23 23:54:58 raster: i miss spoke Mar 23 23:55:07 (that you won't re-implement in the end on top of whatever else yoou pick) Mar 23 23:55:08 raster: X on Luna is stupid Mar 23 23:55:10 jacques: yeah, in general I wouldn't be in favour of a public bounty scheme. this is a point occasion where some guy donated the money for that purpose. Mar 23 23:55:10 X alone fine Mar 23 23:55:13 testing, testing, 1-2-3. Mar 23 23:55:14 i dont see it is Mar 23 23:55:23 it provides instant compatibility to 1000's of apps Mar 23 23:55:27 and many toolkits Mar 23 23:55:37 that alone is a massive plus Mar 23 23:55:44 just about every app is usless on the Pre Mar 23 23:55:47 with out mods Mar 23 23:55:48 for input Mar 23 23:55:58 ok, turned usbnet off and back on... no RNDIS device... gonna try restarting the lappy, bbiab Mar 23 23:56:01 * rwhitby gets out the popcorn ... Mar 23 23:56:12 i axctually can't speak for luna itself - so i wont comment there, but last i saw luna involved sharedmemory segments (mmaped) for the "virtual frameubffers" for the cards - right? Mar 23 23:56:14 rwhitby: this isnt going to last long Mar 23 23:56:15 still the case? Mar 23 23:56:15 Maybe I'll swing by the sprint store tomorrow Mar 23 23:56:29 raster: couldnt speak to that Mar 23 23:56:36 over my pay grade Mar 23 23:56:54 raster: to my knowledge what you stated is accurate Mar 23 23:57:00 raster: dtzWill is the one doing the X port Mar 23 23:57:28 zsoc: cool. Mar 23 23:57:32 rwhitby: ok :) Mar 23 23:57:43 so. lets work on the assumption - its a shared memory buffer. Mar 23 23:57:55 that means the path "to the screen" is ALWAYS through this buffer Mar 23 23:58:22 (i'm going to ignore shortcuts like fullscreen modes that can bypass it and go direct to fb - the logicv for this kind of thing is the same no matter what) Mar 23 23:58:35 raster: you dont need to argue this Mar 23 23:58:35 so... any app needs to render to a buffer that is NOT the card first Mar 23 23:58:38 any updates etc. Mar 23 23:58:45 * jacques leaves work. Mar 23 23:58:46 THEn those updates need copying to the card Mar 23 23:58:47 what about system mem and cpu Mar 23 23:58:48 wasted Mar 23 23:58:53 cause luna and X are now running Mar 23 23:59:09 if u have "x in a card" itsh the SAME path Mar 23 23:59:11 so same cpu usage Mar 23 23:59:15 same mebm bandiwdth usage Mar 23 23:59:22 x's footprint is not very large Mar 23 23:59:30 but its something Mar 23 23:59:40 on a device with no mem tobegin with Mar 23 23:59:45 last time i checked a fairly small kdrive x footprint it's less than 1mb of heap+stack Mar 23 23:59:58 are we using kdrive here? Mar 24 00:00:01 the rest is pagable code from disk - ad a xwerver binary from memory was about another 1mb Mar 24 00:00:07 of which you wont actually page in all of it Mar 24 00:00:14 PuffTheMagic: you should at least look at the final project, even the WM's are said to run smoothly Mar 24 00:00:29 hmmmm Mar 24 00:00:31 wm? Mar 24 00:00:32 PuffTheMagic: kdrive is x - its the same xserver core compiled fromt a different branch as a monolithic binary as opposed to loading modules Mar 24 00:00:36 half my touchscreen is not working Mar 24 00:00:37 why run a wm in a card? Mar 24 00:00:46 raster: i know what krive is Mar 24 00:01:08 if you do your x port to luna right - it needs no driver modules or custom infra Mar 24 00:01:12 it can be a monolithic executable Mar 24 00:01:19 that 1 executabel is share dbetween all x apps Mar 24 00:01:26 so u pay the price once for the whole system Mar 24 00:01:41 u have 128m of ram Mar 24 00:01:49 u have a cpu with resources to burn Mar 24 00:01:55 i run x on my treo650 Mar 24 00:01:59 with e17 Mar 24 00:02:13 admittedly - 320x320 not 320x480 Mar 24 00:02:22 but its only 312mhz of pxa270 there Mar 24 00:02:38 thats going to be aboue 1/3 to maybe 1/5th the speed of the pre Mar 24 00:02:46 (memory bandwidth+cpu cycle grunt) Mar 24 00:02:56 not to mention.. the treo650 has a qweenie 32m ram Mar 24 00:02:57 but u dont run 2 X servers at once Mar 24 00:03:06 and i run the ENTIRE system in 12m of ram Mar 24 00:03:22 thats including all of userspace, xserver, e17 wm... Mar 24 00:03:34 and no - i dont run 2 Mar 24 00:03:40 u dont need to run 2 xservers on luna Mar 24 00:03:42 u only need 1 Mar 24 00:03:45 uclibc? Mar 24 00:03:45 uclibc? Mar 24 00:03:50 noo - glibc Mar 24 00:03:51 sorry lag Mar 24 00:04:04 openembedded build Mar 24 00:04:14 so... vista sucks... Mar 24 00:04:25 (same base os the pre uses) Mar 24 00:04:32 even though I had jsut turned on the computer, it still needed a reboot to pick it up, lol Mar 24 00:04:33 i know u need 1 Mar 24 00:04:37 my having luna loaded Mar 24 00:04:38 and all its java services Mar 24 00:04:39 (well same build system - mines a modified angstrom derivative) Mar 24 00:05:14 plus X Mar 24 00:05:16 and all its app Mar 24 00:05:27 seems a waste Mar 24 00:05:35 if i just had X11 i woudl be fine with that Mar 24 00:05:37 rwhitby: thanks a lot! Mar 24 00:06:24 * rwhitby knows that raster loves a good embedded X argument :-) Mar 24 00:07:38 PuffTheMagic: the x footprint is fairly small in addition Mar 24 00:07:43 ;its a pricew u pay for compatibility Mar 24 00:07:54 as such you otherwise raise the level of work needed to port Mar 24 00:08:00 and that just keeps apps off your platform Mar 24 00:08:13 u dont NEED to run the xserver if u dont want to use any of the x based apps Mar 24 00:08:23 as such it all depends how u want to do the x port Mar 24 00:08:29 a full x fb in a single - card Mar 24 00:08:30 * halfhalo_T400 can't find xterm in preware using the two testing feeds he found on the wiki Mar 24 00:08:40 then within that card run a full x env - thats possible and the most compatible Mar 24 00:08:48 rwhitby: but im not against X on embedded Mar 24 00:08:50 question: assuming I ever get the widk installed, it downloaded the 1.3.5, will apps compiled to this work with a 1.4 device? Mar 24 00:09:01 just wont find me using X in a card Mar 24 00:09:09 the way thats more pre-friendly is having x + a pre-specific wm Mar 24 00:09:40 a pre speicifc wm handles every new toplevel wm and maximises it Mar 24 00:09:56 jacques: zsoc: I got these errors: make[4]: *** [testmarshal.c] Error 139 make[4]: Leaving directory `/srv/preware/cross-compile/packages/glib-2.0/build/src/tests/gobject' make[3]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/srv/preware/cross-compile/packages/glib-2.0/build/src/tests' make[2]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/srv/preware/cross-compile/packages/glib-2.0/build/ Mar 24 00:10:05 same as before Mar 24 00:10:09 it has to have some special hooks into x (probably via atoms/properites) to make the xserver actually put new toplevel windows in new cards Mar 24 00:10:20 same infra as rootless x - thats used on osx etc. Mar 24 00:10:24 * halfhalo_T400 wants xterm! Mar 24 00:11:58 i'd say first get your first port of call - 1 card with 1 x root window inside of it Mar 24 00:12:04 and wm's/x clients running Mar 24 00:12:07 that frankly gets u a long way Mar 24 00:12:15 withint hat card run whatever x env u like Mar 24 00:12:49 ok, I'm going to download/install ubuntu server and see if that works Mar 24 00:18:36 * halfhalo_T400 wants a xvid plugin :( Mar 24 00:19:02 I'm still wondering why palm didn't just compile every damn gstreamer plugin they could for the pre Mar 24 00:21:16 halfhalo_T400: there's a lot of reasons Mar 24 00:21:19 which one would you like? Mar 24 00:21:40 one that I can refute, please Mar 24 00:21:45 although I'm not that picky Mar 24 00:21:45 halfhalo_T400: they're worried some of them are patent encumbered? Mar 24 00:22:21 nt4cats: yes, that's why none of the 'ugly' classed plugins are included, for sure :) Mar 24 00:22:22 Arn't only mp3 and divx subject to patents? Mar 24 00:22:28 and xvid..... Mar 24 00:22:46 * nt4cats shrugs -- that was a blind guess Mar 24 00:23:11 Is it possible to build gstreamer plugins that will work on the pre? Mar 24 00:23:15 realistically? Mar 24 00:23:22 halfhalo_T400: i've built... almost a hundred Mar 24 00:23:34 Do any have anything to do with divx..... Mar 24 00:23:51 er, well that's counting a full blown gst-ffmpeg, so that's a cheating estimate i suppose :P maybe 20 different packages or so Mar 24 00:23:54 how do i get preware v0.930? Mar 24 00:24:11 halfhalo_T400: divx is complicated.. the answer is: I spent 45 minutes on it and it just plain "doesn't work", even tho I should Mar 24 00:24:12 because I really, really would like a divx plugin. I store my videos in divx since everything including my car plays them Mar 24 00:24:42 In fact, xvid should be compatible with the default plugin that gst-ffmpeg is using as of webos 1.4 (er.. i think it'f ffmpegdec_mpeg or similar), but it doesn't work, and for no reason I can figure Mar 24 00:24:57 gah Mar 24 00:25:20 If I spent another 2-3 hours on it there's a possibility. But I understand the pipelines mediaserver builds a lot less now that it's using gst-ffmpeg Mar 24 00:25:32 Oh well, I think I'll set up the mini to automagically transcode them and beam them down to the pre Mar 24 00:25:34 and there's also less flexbility, so your divx files would have to play in a 3rd party app Mar 24 00:25:44 * halfhalo_T400 would be willing to buy you a cookie Mar 24 00:25:47 halfhalo_T400: that's fine, or just use ffmpeg to transcode them on your device, it's fun Mar 24 00:26:14 see, once flash is here its a moot point Mar 24 00:30:49 * halfhalo_T400 is going to play wih the launcher to see if he can make a hide notification patch Mar 24 00:40:47 raster: I think we should talk at some point about where to go with X :) you seem to have a few good ideas. Mar 24 00:41:04 raster: the end goal, time/effort permitting, was a port of the rootless work Mar 24 00:41:28 so 1 card per rootless "toplevel" window Mar 24 00:41:50 raster: right Mar 24 00:41:58 raster: but that work hasn't begun yet at all Mar 24 00:42:00 (and then a wm to match that makes sure everything plays nice between lnua's cards and x apps Mar 24 00:42:05 is xterm in preware? My pre will not find it Mar 24 00:42:06 sure Mar 24 00:42:06 i'd leave that till later Mar 24 00:42:09 get x in a single card Mar 24 00:42:13 as a full x fb etc. Mar 24 00:42:19 thats your first port of call Mar 24 00:42:20 raster: it's there in the testing feed right now Mar 24 00:42:35 raster: as well as pidgin, icewm, gtk, matchbox, various other thing we felt like (and xterm) Mar 24 00:42:47 * halfhalo_T400 is unable to find them... Mar 24 00:42:51 halfhalo_T400: testing fed Mar 24 00:42:56 halfhalo_T400: testing feed, pre only Mar 24 00:43:08 ~testingfeed Mar 24 00:43:16 (come on infobot :( ) Mar 24 00:43:18 I could have sworn I just enabled the testing feeds Mar 24 00:44:15 some people will want/like that anyway Mar 24 00:44:15 so keep the mode either way Mar 24 00:44:15 cool Mar 24 00:44:17 your problem is going to be that rootless x is goign to have issues Mar 24 00:44:17 menus are windows not handles by the wm Mar 24 00:44:18 override-redirect at the geometry (with an offset) for the given parent managed window Mar 24 00:44:32 so these windows need to be rendered to the appropriate rootless target Mar 24 00:44:42 which.. you dont actually know what it is Mar 24 00:44:52 ipkg.preware.org/feeds/webos-internals/testing/all plus armv7 right? Mar 24 00:46:01 raster: what was this about atoms and such? i haven't looked into the rootless work yet Mar 24 00:46:35 raster: also you can tell me to do my homework ;), I just want to understand what you meant before Mar 24 00:46:43 atoms, properties and x client messages are the way wm's, x clients, toolkits etc. all communicate Mar 24 00:46:46 via x of course' Mar 24 00:46:53 the xserver is the central point Mar 24 00:47:16 client messages are fixed events that have an atom Mar 24 00:47:31 and then 20 bytes of payload u canb put whatever in u like Mar 24 00:47:55 raster: understood, ty. Mar 24 00:48:06 atoms are string id's Mar 24 00:48:17 basically u aask x for an atom's id (hand x a string) Mar 24 00:48:20 then fron now on use that id Mar 24 00:48:26 the id to string mapping is permanent for x Mar 24 00:48:34 (as long as the xserevr keeps running) Mar 24 00:48:42 so everyone who asks for the same string gets the same id Mar 24 00:48:47 WHY IS THERE NO x ANYTHING IN PREWARE FOR ME Mar 24 00:48:56 * halfhalo_T400 goes and cries in a corner Mar 24 00:49:05 so instead of a lot of silly protocols in the web/xml/soap worls Mar 24 00:49:08 halfhalo_T400: take a chill pill. hint: it's not because someone decided to make it hard for you :) Mar 24 00:49:13 u dont keep sending the same damned string around all the time Mar 24 00:49:20 halfhalo_T400: sorry, i'd answer if I knew the answer Mar 24 00:49:29 u send a 32bit integer around only Mar 24 00:49:39 (once u have requested the id's for your atoms) Mar 24 00:49:46 * halfhalo_T400 snaps and grabs the nearest object, which happens to be this butterfly knife Mar 24 00:49:49 so basically it is a string -> opcode/id mapping Mar 24 00:49:49 raster: yep, makes sense Mar 24 00:50:05 so that means - when u send a client mesage - u gave yoour 20 byte payload Mar 24 00:50:09 and anatom as the "opcode" Mar 24 00:50:11 woah theres a terminal bounty? Mar 24 00:50:14 i'd pay into that Mar 24 00:50:33 everyone talking that protocol knows what they are going to send - and expect to hear Mar 24 00:50:38 so they all request their set of atoms and id's Mar 24 00:50:44 then just match the integers Mar 24 00:50:49 properties are like the messages Mar 24 00:50:52 but are attached to a window Mar 24 00:51:08 hmmm Mar 24 00:51:18 the packages are there.... Mar 24 00:51:21 why cant my pre see them Mar 24 00:51:26 raster: yeah, i've seen those before :) Mar 24 00:51:27 they get freed when the window is destroyed Mar 24 00:52:02 raster: makes sense Mar 24 00:52:29 raster: yeah, i've never written a wm before--so I think I'll be doing some reading/bugging people when i'm ready to tackle that Mar 24 00:52:39 maybe someone else will decide that's a fun use of their time :D Mar 24 00:53:00 raster: you seem to know alow about wm's... Mar 24 00:53:05 cryptk: lol Mar 24 00:53:07 and X in general Mar 24 00:53:11 lol Mar 24 00:53:29 but, for now, x running within a /single/ card, and a decent wm to manage that on the pre. Mar 24 00:53:42 not the best, but should get all the compatibility, just lacking a touch in integration Mar 24 00:53:44 * halfhalo_T400 feels retarted Mar 24 00:54:10 also looking into glx perhaps, not sure how well that can be bent to use gles, but a thought Mar 24 00:54:17 agreed... if we could make a wm for X on the pre to give things a more "webOS" look and feel then it would be great Mar 24 00:54:43 they can be added, deleted and modified Mar 24 00:54:43 they have an atom for the property name Mar 24 00:54:43 and atom for "type" Mar 24 00:54:43 and then data Mar 24 00:54:43 forgot to enable the feeds Mar 24 00:54:44 data can be any size Mar 24 00:54:44 no (practical) limits Mar 24 00:54:45 well limits are what sever may impose based on restrictions of how much memoory u may have available Mar 24 00:54:45 properties can be fetched by clients Mar 24 00:54:46 also u get eevents when a property changes on a widnwo u are listening for "property changes" on Mar 24 00:54:47 ie - a signals to say "hey - it changed - u may want to re-fetch it" Mar 24 00:54:47 u likely want to piggy-back these mechanisms to be able to have a speciial wm control some rootless server-side controls Mar 24 00:54:48 (other option is creating a new x extennsion - probably too much work i'd say) Mar 24 00:54:49 cryptk: well if that was the route we'd need themes for gtk/qt etc to look nice, etc Mar 24 00:55:02 oh wow my client just spat a whole lot of raster messages at me hehe. *me reads* Mar 24 00:55:11 dtzWill: wasn't jsut you Mar 24 00:55:12 same Mar 24 00:55:54 raster: makes sense, and that does seem a good strategy to hook into it. ty for the explanation Mar 24 00:56:00 * dtzWill makes sure his client logged it :) Mar 24 00:56:04 dtzWill: also extension means u do server side and 2 client-side libs for it - aand it generally needs to be "generic" enough to warrant one - this is very niche - so the piggy-back thing is likely best Mar 24 00:57:24 dtzWill: glx/desktop gl can be built on top of gl-es2 Mar 24 00:57:27 it is possible Mar 24 00:57:28 raster: agreed, probably easier since it's just this thing Mar 24 00:57:45 anyway Mar 24 00:57:49 raster: but certainly is resassuring that my ideas regarding that aren't impossible (both rootless and glx) Mar 24 00:57:49 have to run Mar 24 00:57:52 will bbl Mar 24 00:58:01 its not impossible- sure Mar 24 00:58:06 its just pretty deep-down work Mar 24 00:58:20 and a general good base knowledge of x - and gl, is a good idea first Mar 24 00:58:45 raster: understood. Mar 24 01:01:47 ok, how am i launching xterm... Mar 24 01:01:58 halfhalo_T400: click on the xterm icon? Mar 24 01:02:21 dont have one.... Mar 24 01:02:48 halfhalo_T400: install the one under 'applications' Mar 24 01:02:58 halfhalo_T400: it'll auto install w/e else it needs Mar 24 01:03:12 halfhalo_T400: there's a frontend (that has the launcher icon) and other packages that support it, etc Mar 24 01:03:41 halfhalo_T400: it's broken apart so down the road if we have a lot of x packages it would be annoying to have them clutter your launcher Mar 24 01:04:02 ohhoho! I had installed a different one Mar 24 01:04:13 can someone tell me if this will work: i'd like to carve up a partition in /media/internal to fat32 so I can run systemrescue livecd Mar 24 01:05:29 halfhalo_T400: yep, no wories. that one is what the frontend depends on anyway. all the 'frontend' is, is the launcher icon for the pre terminal that just runs the binaries the /other/ packages install :) Mar 24 01:06:02 meh, doesn't matter how much I screw up my pre since I doctor almost ever week anyways Mar 24 01:06:20 saverestore ftfw Mar 24 01:06:43 heh Mar 24 01:06:53 it doesn't support the apps I want it to Mar 24 01:07:06 or at least it didn't two days ago Mar 24 01:08:09 halfhalo_T400: it doesn't even exist in testing form yet... it _will_ support the apps you want it to soon enough :) Mar 24 01:08:34 yeah, but right now its not that hard to reauth bad kitty and reload newsrooms sites Mar 24 01:13:38 eh? Mar 24 01:21:59 halfhalo_T400: take it you got xterm installed then? Mar 24 01:22:12 why, because he stopped complaining? lol Mar 24 01:22:53 zsoc: well and b/c he seemed so very close--had the feeds, installed the only package that was CLOSE to it, and then presumably installed the real one Mar 24 01:22:58 errrr 'real'. Mar 24 01:23:05 perhaps i should clarify the package names Mar 24 01:23:19 Yes, I was actually confused by the (bin) tags Mar 24 01:24:00 zsoc: sorry. didn't think of the searching use case Mar 24 01:24:10 if you go to 'applications', it's clear--it's the only one that's an applicatoin Mar 24 01:24:20 I personally always use "list of everything" Mar 24 01:24:24 ah Mar 24 01:24:27 probably because i'm so used to using universal search on my phone Mar 24 01:24:34 for phone calls, texts, opening apps, etc Mar 24 01:24:34 i like checking applications and seeing what's new :) Mar 24 01:24:35 same concept Mar 24 01:24:40 zsoc: understood Mar 24 01:24:51 dtzWill: list of everything is in time/date order, newest first :) Mar 24 01:25:06 zsoc: you and your good points Mar 24 01:25:14 Especially the one on the top of my head Mar 24 01:25:21 * zsoc puts his dunce cap away Mar 24 01:25:49 ugly was the one set of plugins I have not compiled in the widk.. i knew this day would come :P Mar 24 01:26:41 yeah Mar 24 01:26:44 got xterm working Mar 24 01:26:52 halfhalo_T400: woo Mar 24 01:26:52 But ALSO got quesadillers Mar 24 01:27:21 more importantly, slacker Mar 24 01:29:23 ffffff Mar 24 01:29:27 luna restart Mar 24 01:29:32 int he midle of mah song Mar 24 01:37:00 In windows, if you don't want to 'install' a DLL, you can just toss it in the same folder as the executable... how exactly does static linking work in linux? If I build against a shared object, can I not execute against that same shared object, but in a nonstandard location (ie: in the same folder as the utility) Mar 24 01:37:41 zsoc: LD_LIBRARY_PATH is probably what you're looking for, along with -Wl,-rpath Mar 24 01:38:00 zsoc: for example you can do -Wll,-rpath=. when linking to tell the app to look for libraries in the working directory as well Mar 24 01:38:15 zsoc: LD_LIBRARY_PATH being an env variable that does the same idea, but.. dynamically/not built into the binary Mar 24 01:38:23 dtzWill: Right, when do I do that? Is that during the configure process? Mar 24 01:38:35 and would I have to do it for the library AND the application? Or just one or the other? Mar 24 01:39:01 LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib" <-- that's what I/we use now to install stuff in the proper staging area in the widk, for example Mar 24 01:39:01 zsoc: just the app--libraries are chill they don't care where the are :D. well unless they themselves need other libraries in nonstandard locations i suppose Mar 24 01:39:13 so formatting another partition in /media/internal ok? Mar 24 01:39:28 zsoc: i actually have /not/ looked at /usr/local widk stuff, havin just recently heard about the pre package for it Mar 24 01:39:34 so i can't tell you there Mar 24 01:39:41 anyway, gotta run Mar 24 01:39:51 ask puff/others i'm sure plenty of people can help.. if they're active :) Mar 24 01:40:25 peace Mar 24 01:46:55 If only I knew where 0x35861c68 was Mar 24 01:48:23 if I 'x 0x35861c68' in gdb and get 0x35861c68: 0xe3700a01, should I assume that's a pointer value? Mar 24 02:11:36 so, I'm bs'ing a speech on smartphones right now Mar 24 02:11:53 thank god its an informative speech Mar 24 02:14:04 heh Mar 24 02:14:13 "Go buy a Palm, that is all" Mar 24 02:14:34 Its got to be 3 minutes long, still gotta diss on the other platforms as well Mar 24 02:15:10 ah Mar 24 02:16:27 target audience of RIM: buisness people Mar 24 02:16:42 target audience of WinMo: Old people and soon Games Mar 24 02:16:55 Target Audience of Apple: Retards Mar 24 02:17:06 ouch Mar 24 02:17:25 Target audience of Symbiam: People who thing their cool by importing phones but are not Mar 24 02:17:32 Honestly I could see my self using android, blackberry os, or iphone os, they have all come a long way Mar 24 02:17:51 I have tried using my dad's curve Mar 24 02:17:56 And..... No Mar 24 02:18:04 I need a good browser Mar 24 02:18:26 even my dumbphones browser is better Mar 24 02:19:07 curve 8530 is decent Mar 24 02:19:29 He has whatever curve verizon has Mar 24 02:19:49 * zsoc listens to his 2 minute and 35 second mp3 he just ripped from pandora Mar 24 02:19:58 THEIF Mar 24 02:20:18 Then again, I do download shows to my computer Mar 24 02:20:20 from Mar 24 02:20:21 the Mar 24 02:20:26 starts with an i Mar 24 02:20:32 end in a t Mar 24 02:20:33 interwebs?
