**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Dec 13 02:59:58 2010 Dec 13 03:41:09 NuttyBunny: hey there Dec 13 03:46:33 destinal hey.. I'm operating on my Pre (technically right now should be my gf's Pre)... she managed to drop coffee on the speaker, and now it almost doesn't make any sound... 6 hours after I doctored it and gave it to her... Dec 13 03:48:23 NuttyBunny: ouch! Dec 13 03:48:46 NuttyBunny: I don't know what kind of speaker it is but I imagine it could be replaced Dec 13 03:54:30 Yeah, me too... I've already taken it apart (and just one day after ending the warranty...)... I've sprayed the speaker with isoprophyl alcohol, I've let it dry, and I'm now trying to make a test call... Dec 13 03:54:49 booting now... Dec 13 04:34:55 hi all - i'm hopelessly lost... Dec 13 04:35:32 added the test feedto preware and dl'd then installed freetether Dec 13 04:35:45 dl'd usbnet right clicked it and installed it Dec 13 04:36:06 restarted bothe pre plus & PC (running XP Sp3) Dec 13 04:36:38 now MHS is on and PC & PS3 are connected but can't connect to the net... Dec 13 04:36:49 everyone is AFK I'll bet... Dec 13 04:38:39 fml... Dec 13 04:40:39 * halfhalo bets NeedTetherHelp waits a while someone will answer him Dec 13 04:41:06 lol I'll wait til the sun rises Dec 13 04:41:23 the sun never goes down on the internet Dec 13 04:41:30 or does it never rise? Dec 13 04:41:44 i'm on my GFs netbook in a window while she sleeps so i can fix this problem Dec 13 04:41:50 never rises Dec 13 04:41:53 its internals, it all depends on how fast the pre's are overclocked Dec 13 04:42:08 i'm sorry to hear about your problem of never rising with your girlfriend sleeping :( Dec 13 04:42:11 this sounds terrible Dec 13 04:42:25 lol arse Dec 13 04:42:27 lol Dec 13 04:42:35 hehehe.... Dec 13 04:43:10 so yins interested in helping this sod fix his pre plus Dec 13 04:43:11 ?? Dec 13 04:43:13 i'm prepared Dec 13 04:43:25 what carrier Dec 13 04:43:30 verizon Dec 13 04:43:51 then why did you install freetether and usbnet when MHS is free... Dec 13 04:44:19 it's free til you hit 5gb.... Dec 13 04:44:27 and i get unlimited data - so why pay anything more than the $209 a month I do Dec 13 04:44:37 freetether doesn't help with the 5GB limit, tho Dec 13 04:45:26 if you manage to use more than 5GB of data on your phone anyways your still going to be yelled at by verizon Dec 13 04:45:27 maybe i wrongly assumed that you could connect with your pre via usb cable or blue tooth to use the Palm's data plan instead of MHS Dec 13 04:46:10 I use on average just uner 5GB a month on MHS and about 2.5 GB on data Dec 13 04:46:20 *under Dec 13 04:46:53 I am a DJ... every show I DL at least 250 MB Dec 13 04:48:00 Couldn't you just completely cut that out by just... Having it before the show? Dec 13 04:49:22 lol Sine... I have 9 TB of music and I never always have what people request... Dec 13 04:50:02 preware won't work Dec 13 04:50:15 descriptive Dec 13 04:50:27 Verizon doesn't care how or what downloads the data, and freetether doesn't remove any limitations of that. It just enables the use of MHS as a WiFi AP. Dec 13 04:50:39 250 mb is only 20-30 songs at high quality bit-rate Dec 13 04:51:23 Even if you connect via Bluetooth or USB networking, you're still using your dataplan. Dec 13 04:52:07 webfellow: the data downloaded by computers/ps3/what have you via Mobile Hot Spot is tracked separately and billed separately than the data used simply by the palm and the apps running Dec 13 04:52:55 Oh, didn't know that Verizon tracked that separately, sorry about that. Dec 13 04:53:04 in fact to check my MHS usage I have to log in to the verizon wireless site to check it - the data usage for my line and the MHS data usage are seperated Dec 13 04:53:09 not a problem Dec 13 04:53:49 So you installed USBnet drivers to computer? Dec 13 04:54:36 so anyways... Verizon sees MHS data and Palm data as different -- hence the need to tether Dec 13 04:54:50 I've never tried using the USBnet, I probably shouldn't be trying to help you since I only know what's on the wiki :) Dec 13 04:55:05 i downloaded and right clicked to install USBNET-pre.inf Dec 13 04:55:46 I installed the USBnet-pre.inf and I added the testing feed to preware and downloaded & installed freetether Dec 13 04:55:58 restarted the PC and the Palm Dec 13 04:56:30 did you enable USBnet on the phone? Dec 13 04:56:41 now PC & PS# are connected to the palm's MHS - but can't get to the net Dec 13 04:57:28 no - I was going to make sure I jumped on here to ask for help to make sure I didn't fuck anything up... since I believe you have to enable usbnet via terminal - correct Dec 13 04:57:40 sorry - no I did not enable USBnet on the palm yet Dec 13 05:00:40 and yes, via terminal Dec 13 05:01:53 o.k. so I can't get to terminal via WebOS Quick Install.. It freezes when it's ":connecting to device" Dec 13 05:02:10 NeedTetherHelp: install terminal via preware? O:) Dec 13 05:02:26 although WOSQI not working probably isn't a good sign... :/ Dec 13 05:02:49 just so I'm not going absolutely crazy... when you dl & install freetether - there's IS or IS NOT an app Icon for it? Dec 13 05:03:10 should be an icon. Dec 13 05:03:21 unless you only installed freetetherd, not the frontend freetether. Dec 13 05:03:25 there's an app and then freetetherd Dec 13 05:03:28 exactly my concern dtzWill... I knew something was up when I restarted the palm and MHS was connecting but not letting my PC communicate Dec 13 05:04:36 I followed the directions via the forum - enabled the testing feed in preware and then searched "freet" and only one option came up - I dl'd & installed that Dec 13 05:08:15 sorry - internet connection dropped - i missed everything in the past 5 minutes Dec 13 05:10:44 i quit? Dec 13 05:13:00 so I'm thinking I need to Doc my Pre.... Dec 13 05:15:39 so is it as simple as i needed to terminal and enable usbnet before i restarted the palm? Dec 13 05:16:26 ? Dec 13 05:16:59 NeedTetherHelp: I would "usbnet enable" if you mean to tether over it certainly Dec 13 05:17:22 i installed freetether and usbnet and didn't enable usbnet yet on the palm and now MHS connects to devices but they aren't connecting to the net Dec 13 05:18:08 I'm going to plug the palm into the XP SP3 pc and see if I can even get WOSQI to connect to it Dec 13 05:21:22 NeedTetherHelp: did you install the mobilehotspot patch that turns on freetether's ip forwarding or the freetether mojo app to turn it on there? Dec 13 05:22:57 destinal - i didn't know about a MHS patch - is that to bypass MHS and use the palm's data plan? and i did not know of a mojo app either - neither were mentioned in the forum thread Dec 13 05:24:35 and of course I'm on a different computer that doesn't have opera on it so I don't remember the exact thread i was reading... Dec 13 05:24:58 NeedTetherHelp: no, it's a hack to turn on ip forwarding because right now without ip forwarding you can connect but not route traffic through the device Dec 13 05:24:58 I'm in terminal on the other PC... Dec 13 05:25:20 it requires freetether to work but it actually has to make a call to turn it on Dec 13 05:25:25 ahhhhh I'm following now Dec 13 05:26:07 most people use a patch that I think Jason r made that automatically sends the service call to do it Dec 13 05:26:09 o.k. so first I need to enable usbnet.. looking for the work flow for that right now... then I need to find this MHS patch... Dec 13 05:26:28 do you know which feed the patch is in? Dec 13 05:28:00 it is majorly frustrating when no matter what keywords you use all you find is threads for MyTether... Dec 13 05:28:17 NeedTetherHelp: I think here http://forums.precentral.net/webos-patches/226463-auto-enable-ip-forwarding-mobile-hotspot-2.html Dec 13 05:28:51 NeedTetherHelp: #38 Dec 13 05:29:33 sorry for being an idiot - but do you mean post 38? Dec 13 05:30:12 NeedTetherHelp: yeah -- if you've installed preware and enabled it to install patches you cick on the web, you should just have to log in to precentral and install the patch from there by clicking it Dec 13 05:30:30 I've never tried that exact one before but I think that's the right one Dec 13 05:31:24 post 38 doesn't have anything linking to or showing the patch.... hold one - reading the thread Dec 13 05:33:41 destinal: i'm lost when you say to log in and just dl it from there - I've only ever dled patches via preware app Dec 13 05:34:05 NeedTetherHelp: preware lets you install ipk files and patches from web sites or email if you allow it Dec 13 05:34:11 I need to find the work flow to enable USBnet first - then I have to find the MHS patch Dec 13 05:34:31 usually getting them from preware's feeds is preferable but I don't know if this patch is in preware Dec 13 05:34:32 lol shows you how much I don't know - didn't know you could do that Dec 13 05:34:40 gotchya Dec 13 05:35:32 tmzt: that's really cool Dec 13 05:35:36 the androiX thing Dec 13 05:35:46 hah, thanks Dec 13 05:36:02 tmzt: do you have a pre btw? I know you've been here off and on for a long time Dec 13 05:36:13 I was going to see if it could share code, I think with the new android 2.3 it will be possible Dec 13 05:36:17 no, never Dec 13 05:36:39 tmzt: basically just continuing search for open linux based device platforms? Dec 13 05:36:49 pretty much, I have a g2 now Dec 13 05:36:53 planning to get a nook color soon Dec 13 05:37:04 o.k. enabled UsbNet - now to find this MHS Patch Dec 13 05:37:06 didn't like the keyboard on the pre much Dec 13 05:37:20 tmzt: I have one, it's definitely worth it though I need bluetooth keyboard :) Dec 13 05:37:25 I'm working on a chroot tool though, it could probably be shared with webos Dec 13 05:37:40 tmzt - really the keyboard was a killer for ya? Dec 13 05:37:52 it's actually a chrooted init/xinit Dec 13 05:38:04 I dig how I can literally slice fishing line with the pre plus Dec 13 05:38:06 NeedTetherHelp: partly it just wasn't the right form factor Dec 13 05:38:14 NeedTetherHelp: hehe Dec 13 05:39:26 destinal: I'm learning some gl stuff, probably enough to get the screen blitted that way in androix Dec 13 05:39:40 at least with es shaders etc. Dec 13 05:39:45 tmzt: *nods* Dec 13 05:39:57 then maybe work on glx/glesx proxies Dec 13 05:40:14 we could use the same technique for running X in full screen "game" app in webos Dec 13 05:40:19 or has someone done that already Dec 13 05:40:26 aren't you still using sdl? Dec 13 05:40:36 tmzt: it's SDL with opengl-es Dec 13 05:40:41 when I work on it for 2.3 it will be more similar to game os Dec 13 05:40:45 because there's no java Dec 13 05:40:48 game app Dec 13 05:40:58 okay, then I should use that code Dec 13 05:41:19 basically I have an X ddx based on xvfb+ephyr Dec 13 05:41:32 which is compiled into a server built as a library Dec 13 05:41:37 ok all services are back up, just need to get off the blacklist for gamesurge and oftc now Dec 13 05:41:48 and wrong channel, but oh well Dec 13 05:41:54 chrisa: heh, was wondering Dec 13 05:42:00 then that's loaded through jni, events are handled through shared memory (direct calls into the server) Dec 13 05:42:18 and a fd wakeup by pipe Dec 13 05:42:29 er, socketpair actually Dec 13 05:42:54 nice Dec 13 05:43:05 I think the events code could be shared with webos if you implemented a native version of the js bridge (assuming that's still needed) Dec 13 05:43:36 tmzt: java is gone in webos 2.0 stock Dec 13 05:44:02 but for 2.3 I'm probably going to use an Xorg driver, though I want to remove xorg.conf as a requirement, I don't know if it's going to happen Dec 13 05:44:04 but the native code and opengl-es could be adapted to run as a native app Dec 13 05:44:33 with SDL setting up a surface and then the opengl-es calls etc Dec 13 05:44:41 right Dec 13 05:44:54 and that can all be shared, the damage routine and the rest Dec 13 05:46:10 so the only real issue I'm having is the build system, since I build in a /opt root Dec 13 05:46:23 it's just a compilicated proceedure I haven't actually documented yet Dec 13 05:49:28 tmzt: let me know when you get it written up, I'd love to play (maybe not this moment but when the NC hasn't stolen me) :) Dec 13 05:49:42 on android? Dec 13 05:50:05 tmzt: I'd probably check it out on android first and webos after Dec 13 05:50:12 since the latter will require porting Dec 13 05:50:47 not sure what you're referring to? the build instructions? Dec 13 06:11:17 tmzt: oh I thought your site said you hadn't posted info yet Dec 13 06:11:24 I only read the front page really though Dec 13 06:11:48 no, I haven't written up the documentation to build from source Dec 13 06:12:02 the apk is up there and on my dropbox Dec 13 06:19:55 tmzt: cool Dec 13 06:29:35 yay for no java Dec 13 06:29:37 bout time Dec 13 06:29:44 dundundun....

Dec 13 10:45:10 Night folks Dec 13 13:06:52 good morning folks Dec 13 13:07:17 I'm about ready to WebDR my palm Dec 13 13:08:04 want to make sure I do it correctly to wipe out everything - cause I tried it once and when it reloaded - it still had things like tabbed pages and 5x5 Dec 13 13:08:19 Hi everyone Dec 13 13:08:30 morning NuttyBunny Dec 13 13:08:37 CldBWrs: Have you deleted your Palm Profile also? Dec 13 13:09:02 They store the number of launcher pages and the app distribution there Dec 13 13:09:13 no - why would I delete Palm Profile - ie isn't that where all my paid apps are verified through? Dec 13 13:09:27 wow... Dec 13 13:09:38 You need to erase everything so you can install patches again, right? Dec 13 13:09:54 (don't worry, your apps won't go anywhere, you only delete the synched data) Dec 13 13:09:55 yeah - I want a completely fresh start Dec 13 13:10:19 o.k. - so how do I do this lol Dec 13 13:10:33 does it give me the option in WOSQI? Dec 13 13:11:07 to delete the profile info you go in your phone backup app and disable it Dec 13 13:11:14 disable backup Dec 13 13:11:45 then you run the Doctor, follow the prompts, and let it do its job. It's really straightforward Dec 13 13:11:49 select "turn off and erase backup" Dec 13 13:11:53 yep Dec 13 13:12:16 o.k. excellent - so all i was missing was the deleting back up Dec 13 13:12:23 Thanks Nutty... Dec 13 13:12:48 Running WebDr now... Dec 13 13:13:46 Nice :D Follow the prompts, it's easy... after finishing it'll take you to the first run app (you'll have to login into your profile), and it'll begin to sync your info (basically nothing since we just deleted that info) Dec 13 13:14:28 gotchya - then I just do all the tedious crap - like re sync my 11 e-mails and let all my apps DL Dec 13 13:14:34 And after reboot it'll begin downloading apps. Everyone advices that you download everything thru wifi, it's faster Dec 13 13:14:39 right Dec 13 13:16:38 Is there a download anywhere of a Blank Theme? Dec 13 13:17:21 blank? as in white? or as in transparent? Dec 13 13:17:53 Because you could download the ClearCard App if you want your background to be shown at all times even if you have running apps Dec 13 13:18:31 brb, gotta shower Dec 13 13:21:15 THAT was weird... error on page... Dec 13 13:21:31 sorry Nutty - I missed whatever reply you might have sent Dec 13 13:25:08 I said: Dec 13 13:25:12 blank? as in white? or as in transparent? Dec 13 13:25:16 Because you could download the ClearCard App if you want your background to be shown at all times even if you have running apps Dec 13 13:25:20 brb, gotta shower Dec 13 13:25:27 now I'm really hitting the shower ;) Dec 13 13:25:32 lol Dec 13 13:25:50 no I want completely blank to skin my entire theme Dec 13 13:43:41 CldBwrs: mmm... you should look for it in the forums, I don't really use themes at all :( How's the Doctor going? Dec 13 13:46:22 sorry - was AFK Dec 13 13:46:35 Doctor restarted for some reason Dec 13 13:48:54 it's at 2% Dec 13 13:51:42 mmm... it should move relatively fast, you should finish in about 10-15 mins Dec 13 13:52:05 yeah - not happening lol Dec 13 13:53:31 it's stuck at 1% Dec 13 13:53:41 FML Dec 13 13:53:45 I don't think it'll go anywhere Dec 13 13:54:08 so what should I do Dec 13 13:54:11 lol Dec 13 13:54:11 cancel it and try using the emergency boot option Dec 13 13:54:23 I'll explain (I don't really know if that's the name) Dec 13 13:54:33 o.k. I don't know anything about the emergency boot option Dec 13 13:54:38 Pull the battery first Dec 13 13:54:56 Now, keep the volume up pressed (don't let it go) Dec 13 13:55:05 Ah, pull the cable also Dec 13 13:55:15 with the volume up pressed, connect the cable Dec 13 13:55:26 you should see a big battery icon with a question mark inside Dec 13 13:55:32 now insert the battery Dec 13 13:55:33 o.k. I'm gonna pull the cable first and then pull the battery Dec 13 13:55:40 you should see a big usb icon Dec 13 13:55:56 if you see the palm logo, disconnect everything and try again Dec 13 13:57:15 the key is to keep the volume up key pressed Dec 13 13:57:26 o.k. let's try this Dec 13 13:59:01 pulled cable first - Palm logo popped up immediately... Dec 13 14:00:57 o.k. everything happened as you said it would Dec 13 14:01:30 has USB symbol on front Dec 13 14:02:24 perfect, now run again the Doc Dec 13 14:02:37 o.k. Dec 13 14:11:27 does USB symbol stay during this? webOSDoc froze at 1% again.. Dec 13 14:14:20 this is too weird. Are you using windows? macOS? what version? Dec 13 14:15:39 Windows 7 starter Dec 13 14:15:47 that could be the problem Dec 13 14:17:34 maybe, do you have access to a win xp machine? Dec 13 14:18:11 not at the moment - I will have access to a MacOS in about an hour when I start work Dec 13 14:18:21 I forget which version of mac it is.. Dec 13 14:19:28 As long as it runs java you're fine, and most macs do. just don't forget the Doc file :) Dec 13 14:20:07 yeah - speaking of the Doc file - the Mac and Win versions are the same right - since it's a Java app Dec 13 14:20:36 I have verizon build 176.171 Dec 13 14:21:59 It's the same file for both :) Dec 13 14:23:07 o.k. that's what I thought - just wanted to make sure Dec 13 14:23:30 I keep Updated WebOS stuff on a thumb drive with all my portable apps... Dec 13 14:25:32 hehehe... great :) I keep the Doctor in the usb portion of my Pre :D Dec 13 14:28:10 yeah - i *had* it there too as a back up.. Dec 13 14:30:02 o.k. time to walk to work... Dec 13 14:30:25 I'll be back once I get settled in there - thanks again Nutty Dec 13 15:55:32 has anyone developed rdesktop for webos or is there a recommended platform for accessing win pcs via rdp from the pre? Dec 13 15:57:58 Has anyone been able to accept an event invite on there pre without having to go through the browser? Dec 13 15:58:05 cheetahw28 -- there is no rdesktop for webOS at this time. Dec 13 15:59:15 Rick_work: tragic, really Dec 13 16:00:01 true. There is a VNC client tho, I thought if you aren't FORCED to use Remote Desktop Dec 13 16:00:28 yeah, good point Dec 13 16:06:24 * destinal is taking this morning to charge all three of his spare palm batteries Dec 13 16:06:37 seems like every time I reach for one I forgot to charge it Dec 13 16:07:22 is there any specific issue with running it or just hasn't been developed/advertised yet? Dec 13 16:08:12 cheetahw28: well, rdestop is X11 and you'd want to port it to SDL, I imagine Dec 13 16:08:25 or find a client already written in SDL Dec 13 16:09:32 I guess it's more that nobody has gotten to it yet and probably with a working VNC client a lot of people just trying to get a connection might consider installing VNC on their systems and going in that way Dec 13 16:10:00 cheetahw28: if you have the skill and want to port it I'm sure a lot of people would be happy Dec 13 16:14:04 I'll play around and see what I can come up with.. if I get it working should I just post in here? Dec 13 16:20:06 cheetahw28: yeah, absolutely. if you want to package it up and make it available as homebrew there are folks here who'd be glad to help you get it on a feed and so on Dec 13 16:20:54 anyone already installed metasploit on a palm pre? Dec 13 16:22:05 mpingu: I played with it in much earlier versions of webos but haven't done much with it in a while. it should be pretty easy Dec 13 16:22:31 i think metasploit it self wont be the problem more the depencecies Dec 13 16:22:31 or ? Dec 13 16:22:43 mpingu: optware should provide a lot of that Dec 13 16:22:46 dunno if everything of that is set up or aviable Dec 13 16:23:08 it's a full linux distribution that you can install via preware Dec 13 16:23:26 okay Dec 13 16:23:42 * halfhalo watches with interest Dec 13 16:23:58 i am currently learning into it security so i wanted to try such stuff Dec 13 16:24:07 where in preware do i find optware ? Dec 13 16:24:14 got a hint where ? Dec 13 16:24:22 mpingu: awesome. I'm a penetration tester / security consultant as a day job Dec 13 16:24:53 oh so many jokes could be made right now... Dec 13 16:24:54 i am in to back track Dec 13 16:24:55 mpingu: there's a whole category called optware in preware Dec 13 16:25:14 i know that i tought it would be a whole "own" package Dec 13 16:25:20 the optwar part i know okay Dec 13 16:25:29 cool i want to do the same on longterm pentesting and stuff Dec 13 16:25:53 madwifi patch for palm pres wlan driver would be awesome ;) Dec 13 16:25:57 and just install the advanced / command line installer as part of optware, and then ssh in or novaterm into the device and run ipkg-opt install foo for whatever package you need Dec 13 16:26:03 http://optwarefind.nslu2-linux.org/packages?utf8=%E2%9C%93&Package[Target]=cs08q1armel&Package[Architecture]=Any&Package[Section]=Any&Package[Package]=&commit=Search <-- pre's feed in optware for package search Dec 13 16:26:42 mpingu: the wifi driver that comes with it is binary only and doesn't support injection or monitor mode AFAIK, but people are working on getting libertas working Dec 13 16:26:52 that would be cool Dec 13 16:27:08 i l8r will tryout to install pyrit on it Dec 13 16:27:20 i got here a dual geforce 460 quad core cuda cluster ;) Dec 13 16:27:51 setup for some nice numbercrunching stuff in a pyrit cluster would love to vpn connect to it and clusterize via the palm pre Dec 13 16:28:54 nice Dec 13 16:29:06 * halfhalo is sitting on a six core dual 460GTX system Dec 13 16:29:26 why dual 460 I have no idea, but hey, its not mine Dec 13 16:29:33 pre is a pretty standard linux so you can always cross compile anything that isn't already in optware for your needs Dec 13 16:29:34 destinal: but about palm pre and pentesting Dec 13 16:29:47 there is a full blown security distro for the n900 Dec 13 16:29:57 http://www.neopwn.com/ Dec 13 16:29:57 mpingu: yeah I'm aware of it Dec 13 16:30:20 they were talking about making it "backtrack mobile" but I guess that got called off Dec 13 16:30:29 neopwn yeah Dec 13 16:30:33 afaik somehow with backtrack Dec 13 16:30:58 you think there is a realstic way of easy porting it to the pre? Dec 13 16:31:50 mpingu: I'd probably just redo it for webos. I've considered it, I contacted the neopwn guys but nobody ever replied to me Dec 13 16:31:59 okay Dec 13 16:32:06 its not THAT hard... I mean I have ported a package to the pre before and I can't do crap with embedded stuff! Dec 13 16:32:16 hmm Dec 13 16:32:28 destinal: in wors case we do it our self for the pre community ;) Dec 13 16:33:10 looks like you can use X11 by chrooting into a debian img and probably run rdesktop from there... Dec 13 16:35:13 javispedro: heya Dec 13 16:35:34 destinal: are you fit with usb device analysis stuff? Dec 13 16:35:36 hey Dec 13 16:36:55 mpingu: like sniffing usb / reversing usb device stuff? not really my area of expertise but I'm interested Dec 13 16:37:23 can i qry Dec 13 16:37:30 mpingu: sure Dec 13 16:37:30 i got a very instresting project Dec 13 17:06:35 Hi everyone Dec 13 18:26:50 hey all Dec 13 18:27:20 hola Dec 13 18:27:37 java.lang.Exception at com.sun.javaws.Launcher.continueLaunch(Launcher.java:927) at com.sun.javaws.Launcher.handleApplicationDesc(Launcher.java:527) at com.sun.javaws.Launcher.handleLaunchFile(Launcher.java:219) at com.sun.javaws.Launcher.run(Launcher.java:166) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:613) Dec 13 18:27:49 so what the frick does THAT mean Dec 13 18:28:46 some java program has an exception?

Dec 13 19:42:07 looks like its not BT related, rather all "music" (music apps, angry bird sfx) doesn't play, regardless of BT or internal speaker Dec 13 19:44:45 ah, the headphone plug in un plug fixed it Dec 13 19:44:51 phone still thought i had a headset plugged it, Dec 13 19:45:01 thanks destinal for fixytip Dec 13 19:45:26 * destinal bows Dec 13 19:45:31 yw Dec 13 19:45:38 lol Dec 13 19:45:50 happened to me only once but it was a major WTF until I found someone else had that problem Dec 13 19:46:27 raeb: did it work with just one unplug replug or did you have to do a lot of them? Dec 13 19:46:37 just one Dec 13 19:47:06 nice, for me like the 5th time was the charm. wonder if it's a pin that get stuck inside or something Dec 13 19:47:09 destinal, though the headphone plug i used was bent a bit, duno if its a physical problem with the plug or a software problem reading the plug status Dec 13 19:47:28 yeah could be software too if it keeps state Dec 13 19:47:30 dunno Dec 13 20:07:33 destinal: seen last posts in qry? Dec 13 22:24:26 PuffTheMagic: Congrats on your Pre 2! :D Dec 13 22:24:55 :D Dec 13 22:25:02 * halfhalo steals it Dec 13 22:25:47 do want Dec 13 22:26:42 no u dont Dec 13 22:26:45 its kinda ugly Dec 13 22:28:26 it has this glass screen Dec 13 22:28:33 which makes the edges non smooth Dec 13 22:28:43 its thicker and heavier Dec 13 22:29:05 its got a hole in the side where a usb door should be Dec 13 22:29:19 ? :P Dec 13 22:29:23 then i want a iphone Dec 13 22:29:24 :P# Dec 13 22:29:34 pixi2!!! Dec 13 22:29:41 nah joephone ! Dec 13 22:55:44 PuffTheMagic: If you don't want your Pre 2 I have a brand new, unlocked, AT&T Pre Plus if you wanna exchange ;) Dec 13 22:56:38 i need the pre2 to dev on since who the hell knows when 2.0 doctors will come out Dec 13 22:56:53 ehe Dec 13 22:56:55 heh* Dec 13 22:57:31 i got a iphone sock with mirco fiber inlet to clean it wan to trade it for your pre2 ? Dec 13 22:58:12 Chuq says really soon for the Doctors :D Dec 13 22:58:40 chuqui (mention so he reads) ;) Dec 13 23:00:29 * NuttyBunny yawns ... argh... the flu... achooooooooo! Dec 13 23:01:41 of course, chuqui may have said that, but if he did, it wsa in a private forum under NDA. Dec 13 23:02:27 hint hint. Dec 13 23:02:31 And maybe some other person mentioned elsewhere (maybe even here) and I just repeated that Dec 13 23:02:39 ;) Dec 13 23:03:10 if they did, then it wasn't chuqui who said it, was it ;) Dec 13 23:03:42 ok, so, I should have said: "someone said that chuqui said that blah blah blah" Dec 13 23:04:24 it was the government that said it! Dec 13 23:04:49 "the coming months" and "really soon" are pretty much the same anyway Dec 13 23:05:06 just depends on your perspective of time Dec 13 23:05:18 Well, I want to believe ;) I like better "really soon" than "soon" Dec 13 23:05:52 I want to believe say... Tonight? :D Dec 13 23:06:34 * SineOt nudges chuqui Dec 13 23:06:37 * NuttyBunny turns to chuqui and sees him taking pictures ;) Dec 13 23:12:11 SineOt: sticks out elbow Dec 13 23:12:27 * SineOt dies. Elbows, his only weakness. Dec 13 23:14:41 what is going down people!!! Dec 13 23:14:44 * NuttyBunny prefers waiting for another webOS version, a version with Voice Dialing ;) Dec 13 23:14:58 Hey CldBWrs, did you manage to Dr your Pre? Dec 13 23:15:01 I would LOVE some voice activated stuff on a palm Dec 13 23:15:18 No Nutty - - but Verizon gave me a brand new one Dec 13 23:15:27 Ah, excellent! :D Dec 13 23:15:37 turns out the usb input was bad on the palm - which caused most of the problems Dec 13 23:16:08 so now I hafta wait for Puff to finish his new tether app - so I can brick ANOTHER Pre Plus Dec 13 23:16:26 you can always use myTether.. :) Dec 13 23:16:39 and I have to figure out what I'm gonna do with the one that my gf ran over... Dec 13 23:17:21 I won't pay for something that is free... never.... Dec 13 23:17:23 lol Dec 13 23:17:23 Sell me the earpiece :D the mini board with the speaker/light/proximity sensors!!! Dec 13 23:17:25 I have voice dialing on my Pixi. Dec 13 23:17:30 CldBWrs: if you want to decide to donate it for experimentation let me know Dec 13 23:17:38 It's called handing the phone to whoever is in the passenger seat and telling them to call someone. :V Dec 13 23:17:40 we need a board to try video out on Dec 13 23:17:46 lol sine - you arse Dec 13 23:17:54 Ah, destinal, you thinking about video out also? :D Dec 13 23:18:16 i'll take some pics of it for you - so you can see what she did to it when she ran it over... not sure ANYTHING is salvageable Dec 13 23:18:43 mmm.. too bad :( Dec 13 23:19:10 why don't you go to ebay?? there are like 40-50 pre's with bad eins just waiting to be snatched for like $30 Dec 13 23:19:26 CldBWrs: good point Dec 13 23:20:00 mmm... nice idea also, too bad that the shipping for Mexico would cost more than the Pre itself! :D Dec 13 23:20:35 NuttyBunny: your earpiece clean failed? Dec 13 23:21:19 where in Mexico? Dec 13 23:21:23 destinal-work: No, it worked, but it's a bit less than perfect. If I can get a perfectly working one it would be better :D After all, I've already cracked it open, so I can open it whenever I want Dec 13 23:21:32 CldBwrs: Mexico City Dec 13 23:21:55 hmmmm nope - don't know anyone there.... Dec 13 23:24:47 it's sad that i'm UBER excited to mod out my brand new pre plus... Dec 13 23:24:58 sad? why? Dec 13 23:25:44 the first thing I did to my Pre Plus was to turn it on, since it didn't I connected a cable to it and hacked my way in. I couldn't find anything so I doctored it, and I enabled developer mode even before it booted ;) Dec 13 23:25:49 cause i've done it a millions times... Dec 13 23:26:05 lol nice Dec 13 23:27:47 yep, ah, and disabled the first run app... used it 2 days on wifi and then decided to activate it :) Dec 13 23:28:06 I feel sooooooo comfortable with webOS, I don't think I would feel this way with any other mobile platform Dec 13 23:28:43 yeah - i - uh... last thing I did even close to that was make a black box to simulate the tones of quarters for payphones to make free calls when I was 14 Dec 13 23:29:20 cool... that couldn't be done over here :) Dec 13 23:35:06 is there a way to install preware ota? Dec 13 23:35:21 nope, and there should not be Dec 13 23:37:09 there should be a script to do it, something oscure that most mortals wouldn't even dare to touch :) ... but thinking about it, if I had terminal, I'd already have preware Dec 13 23:37:46 any way to ota install preware means that there is a way that malicious content can be install ota Dec 13 23:38:18 well unless palm ships preware preinstalled Dec 13 23:38:55 * NuttyBunny votes for preactivated, unlocked Pre's with Preware :) Dec 13 23:38:57 which they cannot do, cause it would break the bright line of the app catalog security model Dec 13 23:39:51 will they can do whatever they want :) Dec 13 23:40:13 including have preware as a sideload option Dec 13 23:40:38 doesn't mean they will tho Dec 13 23:42:20 actually, carrier agreements probably mean that they cannot do whatever they want Dec 13 23:42:42 touche Dec 13 23:43:40 Example: Letting Telcel sell apps, I really think Palm slipped on that one :S Dec 13 23:44:48 Telcel wouldn't release 1.4.5 because they don't want the users buying apps without paying Telcel a cut, but the Palm servers actually let Telcel Pre users with 1.4.5 buy apps (even if they're hacked webOS doctors) Dec 13 23:45:10 NuttyBunny: hacked == no liability Dec 13 23:45:37 Palm don't care what you do after you hack something, cause that relieves them from any legal liability Dec 13 23:46:47 But if Telcel didn't want the users to download apps, Palm should had that covered and don't let users with hacked doctors to download :) (I'm actually glad it works this way, otherwise I couldn't buy apps) :) Dec 13 23:49:57 I'm just still worried about the app buying theme when (and if) 2.0 arrives to Telcel :S Dec 13 23:52:00 I should just switch carriers, Movistar and Unefon are getting pretty good deals at 3G, it's just that the coverage sucks Dec 13 23:54:59 but wait - you can tell the palm in terminal to do it right?? I mean - NOTHING is 100% safe from malicious content.... you give a 14 year old Chinese kid food, water, porn, and an incentive - and he;ll find a way to hack into it... Dec 13 23:55:35 Puff convinced me to switch to Sprint when my Verizon contract is up Dec 13 23:55:43 CldBWrs: you had to break the security model to get the terminal Dec 13 23:56:56 but you could (nobody has figured out how to) use the security model to load malicious content.. Dec 13 23:57:28 CldBWrs: security flaws are different from intentional holes in the security model Dec 13 23:57:50 CldBWrs: anything is vulnerable assuming there are security relevant bugs, and considering that software is written by humans, how much bug free software do you know of? Dec 13 23:58:10 I know of NO bug free software Dec 13 23:58:36 CldBWrs: now the better it's written the harder they are to find and the less impact they have when found Dec 13 23:58:37 allowing Preware OTA onto a webOS device would be an intentional hole in the security model, and would open Palm up to legal liability Dec 13 23:58:56 having a security flaw (like they did once in the very early days) which allows that is a completely different matter Dec 13 23:59:37 but there is a difference between it doing it on it's own - and the consumer choosing to initiate it... Dec 13 23:59:47 which i WANT to initiate it lol Dec 14 00:00:02 CldBWrs: that's why palm-install exists Dec 14 00:00:09 you can use that to install whatever you want Dec 14 00:00:19 rwhitby: well you either don't try to be the gatekeeper, like windows mobile and palmos traditionally did not, or you try to be the gatekeeper in which case you can't allow sideloaders into your catalog. I don't believe that palm's model intrinsically is more secure Dec 14 00:00:42 destinal: security is not the issue. legal liability is. Dec 14 00:00:50 I don't think any companies have a legal obligation to have a catalog Dec 14 00:00:53 gotchya - kewl kewl Dec 14 00:00:59 they do it for money Dec 14 00:01:14 no - they make $$ Dec 14 00:01:15 destinal: I don't think you're following me Dec 14 00:01:17 lol yep Dec 14 00:01:53 rwhitby: you mean, given that there IS a catalog, they can't put us in there with special powers or someone will blame them Dec 14 00:02:18 but certainly microsoft doesn't have legal liability for not having a catalog and everything being sideloaded Dec 14 00:02:29 if you have a system that intentionally allows malware OTA, then your legal liability to the carriers that are selling that system (and are therefore the first line of legal accountability to the consumer) is larger than if you have a system which does not inherently allow stuff to run as root in your app catalog Dec 14 00:03:04 Lawyers don't care about security. All they care about is legal liability. Dec 14 00:03:58 rwhitby: a PC lets you install software, it's not microsoft's fault or apple's if you load malware or vulnerable code. but if apple or microsoft were to HOST said code in their stores, that would be different Dec 14 00:04:08 correct Dec 14 00:04:35 *that* is the legal liability question. it has nothing to do with alruistic security concerns. Dec 14 00:07:44 I know that at least android had malware in their store a while back, I wonder if google was sued (or could be) -- it could be argued that they're just a carrier and not responsible for content but I wouldn't want to fight that particular court case Dec 14 00:09:04 destinal: to be just a carrier, you can't reject any stuff. as soon as you review and reject stuff, you're no longer a common carrier. Dec 14 00:09:52 rwhitby: very good point Dec 14 00:11:42 * halfhalo is going to want to talk about rewriting the patches portal in an hour or so Dec 14 00:12:06 you want to rewrite the patches portal in an hour? that would be hard Dec 14 00:12:08 :P Dec 14 00:12:39 it takes me more than an hour to find stuff in the code as it is... Dec 14 00:12:51 Ok, I gotta go guys, halfhalo, I expect to arrive at my home in about an hour, I want that portal rewritten by then :D Dec 14 00:12:57 ah prepositional adjacency leading to ambiguous meaning, so amusing. Dec 14 00:12:59 :P Dec 14 00:13:13 lol Dec 14 00:13:45 * destinal is obviously a smartass Dec 14 00:14:49 hah Dec 14 00:18:04 I have been playing with git and php and have a better understanding of what it can and cannot do and how they should interact Dec 14 00:54:31 joy, my emu works. Dec 14 00:54:42 So, is it not recommended to use my same Palm login on the emu? Dec 14 00:55:02 you mean for the Palm Profile? Dec 14 00:55:14 yeah. Dec 14 00:55:24 emulator shouldn't be asking you for that :o Dec 14 00:55:26 I think I read that it's a bad idea, and may screw my physical phone up Dec 14 00:55:29 it is not recommended. it will wipe your real device Dec 14 00:55:29 and correct Dec 14 00:55:42 Yeah ok, that's what I thought. I'll create another. Dec 14 00:55:44 ta :) Dec 14 00:55:46 since only one device can be logged in at a time, it will erase your physical device Dec 14 00:56:04 ugh, this only makes me want my pre 2 even more! Stupid HP stuffed orders up I think :( Dec 14 00:56:15 each time you log into your palm profile, a new auth token is created. any device which does not present the latest auth token is forcibly wiped Dec 14 00:56:24 Right. Dec 14 00:56:37 Though I probably won't bother, as stated, not needed Dec 14 00:57:12 quick question.. anyone tried building ZXing (qr-code decoder) for WebOS? Dec 14 01:00:38 * SineOt wants to see a Tag reader, since it's easier to read those if you have a shitty scan :/ Dec 14 01:00:54 what's 'Tag' Dec 14 01:02:17 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Capacity_Color_Barcode Dec 14 01:02:28 people hate on it since it's an MS thing, but meh Dec 14 01:02:45 its works great though, which is what matters Dec 14 01:02:50 yeah Dec 14 01:02:55 ah, is there an open-source implementation ;) Dec 14 01:03:05 the stuff that Microsoft Research has done showing it off is pretty nuts Dec 14 01:03:41 that's cool and all, but I'm looking for something I can compile and feed an image too, and then spit back the text ;) Dec 14 01:05:26 lol stuff they've done with Tag: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/hccb/hccbnovel.jpg 1,750 characters printed with a home inkjet, still readable P: Dec 14 01:05:55 http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/hccb/lightexamples.jpg terrible pictures of them being still readable even when the tag itself is 70 pixels wide Dec 14 01:06:25 it even has a "file system" http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/hccb/multitoscale.jpg Dec 14 01:07:58 hozer: oh, and with ZXing... it's a java app, isn't it? Dec 14 01:09:50 keep in mind that Java is completely gone on webos 2.0 and up Dec 14 01:14:18 what's zxing Dec 14 01:14:34 an open source QRcode decoder Dec 14 01:25:55 http://flic.kr/p/91Hb9T has some phones that are not Pre, Pixi or Pre 2 ... Dec 14 01:27:14 oh? Dec 14 01:27:57 yeah, like a Pixi with orange keys Dec 14 01:28:36 (which is the most glaringly out of place one there. Dunno about anything else) Dec 14 01:29:06 what else is there, rwhitby? Dec 14 01:30:45 * Tibfib bets it's a pixi2 Dec 14 01:31:20 I think I see two of them Dec 14 01:31:20 * SineOt bets it's just an old Pixi from when it was still the rumored "Eos" Dec 14 01:31:26 SineOt: the pixi-like thing on the right looks fatter than a normal pixi Dec 14 01:31:30 that could be Dec 14 01:31:37 what is that pixi looking silver phone? C40? Dec 14 01:31:52 scoutcamper: it's a pixi with the light reflecting off it :P Dec 14 01:32:27 but look its wider than a pre Dec 14 01:33:06 my bet would be since it still has orange keys, it's either a very early Pixi, or one of the last of the Eos devices Dec 14 01:33:27 I know there were leaked shots of the Eos, but I can't find them Dec 14 01:33:32 god that thing was an ugly phone Dec 14 01:35:32 please tell me someone else remembers those shots and that I'm not crazy :p Dec 14 01:37:08 ahah, finally found it Dec 14 01:37:15 rwhitby: I think what it is is this http://images.techtree.com/ttimages/story/106732_pixigsm.JPG Dec 14 01:37:26 whoa Dec 14 01:38:02 never seen that pic before Dec 14 01:38:22 yeah it's way old Dec 14 01:38:52 SineOt: I'm not focusing on the orange, I'm focusing on the aspect ratio of the screen Dec 14 01:38:54 I've been following webOS since ces... wonder how I never saw that Dec 14 01:39:01 it's like a Pixi + Pre together. It even has the ugly Pre- style gesture area Dec 14 01:39:55 rwhitby: that image looks very similar in terms of screen aspect ratios, I think, since it looks a bit fatter than the shipping Pixi Dec 14 01:40:28 I think adora's pixi's screen looks bigger Dec 14 01:41:33 the ones under the monitor Dec 14 01:41:37 2nd from the right Dec 14 01:41:55 has different button then pre- Dec 14 01:42:05 (its obviously right-side up, due to clock) Dec 14 01:43:16 hah, it's cool seeing all the in progress devices Dec 14 01:43:22 the one with the clock has a light bar, so wouldn't it be a Pre+? :p Dec 14 01:43:31 the one that has the Pre- style button doesn't have a clock on it Dec 14 01:44:38 Tibfib: but yeah, it's way a old shot that from what I can tell never really picked up traction in the "blogosphere" or whatever you want to call it. Dunno why Dec 14 01:44:52 I think the photo came out after the device had actually released so it wasn't exactly breaking news Dec 14 01:45:08 but that gesture area + 4GB of storage would have sucked pretty bad Dec 14 01:45:19 gotcha Dec 14 01:45:37 I only knew it existed because I'd seen it once before, since I like the Pixi way too much :p Dec 14 01:46:08 oil: the more I look, the more I think it is a pre+ with a lit up gesture area Dec 14 01:46:20 probably Dec 14 01:48:21 Tibfib: the more I look at that prototype Pixi the more I'm glad to have what actually ended up coming out. That thing would have blown Dec 14 01:48:35 heh, yeah Dec 14 01:48:40 I can't get over that ugly gesture area Dec 14 01:49:14 whoever came up with replacing it with the lightbar that ended up getting used (and reused for the Pre+ and Pre2) needs a gold star or two Dec 14 01:50:49 rwhitby: I just think it makes more sense given that these devices got "inherited" and the existence of the orange keys that it's much more likely to be an old Pixi than a newer device. Occam's razor and all that Dec 14 01:51:46 especially since there's pictures of the old prototype pixis with orange keys showing that they did, at one point, exist :p Dec 14 01:53:46 * oil <3 orange key Dec 14 01:54:17 * SineOt wants oranges keys on his Pixi. Bling bling. Dec 14 01:54:35 * oil paints key on his pixi orange Dec 14 01:55:36 * oil is seriously considering moving his pre- kb with orange keys to his pre2 sprint job Dec 14 01:55:48 doitdoitdoitdoitdoit Dec 14 01:56:03 now that hp finally shipped er Dec 14 01:56:43 * halfhalo wants to talk about them patches portal Dec 14 01:57:13 * oil thinks it should be entirely rewritten Dec 14 01:57:22 thats what I want to talk about Dec 14 01:57:23 * oil doesn't think it should be in rails though Dec 14 01:58:25 it doesn't fit in with the rails design all that well, but rails does has superior git integration over php Dec 14 01:58:43 the way it works now, is by simply running commands Dec 14 01:58:49 yeah Dec 14 01:59:01 though, my eyes bleed a little whenever i look at it Dec 14 01:59:08 yup Dec 14 01:59:33 no matter what a rewrite should help with alot of issues Dec 14 01:59:45 and I have been playing around with php and git and have learned some stuff Dec 14 02:01:27 but no matter what it should be done properly, with header/footer files and function includes in php Dec 14 02:02:09 i want to be sure it keeps the same submission setup though Dec 14 02:02:15 where anyone can submit an update to any patch Dec 14 02:02:21 don't want to see it go patch-per-user type thing Dec 14 02:02:42 thats a given, but the backend needs to be changed methinks Dec 14 02:03:08 the one git repo for everything is a bad idea Dec 14 02:04:40 its faster to run through many smaller repo's than one big one Dec 14 02:05:39 * scoutcamper just waits for preware 2.0 Dec 14 02:06:10 oil: new subtitle for Impostah, weight 10: http://twitpic.com/3fqd2t Dec 14 02:06:25 lol Dec 14 02:08:27 oil: my thinking is that each patch would have its own repo, and each webos ver would be a different branch. No need for hundreds/thousands of tags (which makes it reaaally slow.) Dec 14 02:08:55 * oil doesn't know much about that stuff Dec 14 02:09:05 lol Dec 14 02:13:11 from what I've done with git so far, yes, do a repo for every patch instead of a giant one D: Dec 14 02:13:21 * SineOt got SO lost trying to manage multiple apps with one repo Dec 14 02:13:48 its not so much that its a large repo size wise, but it has hundreds of tags that makes everything slow Dec 14 02:14:46 yeah, the tag management is what got me Dec 14 02:15:07 halfhalo: make it slow for your implementation, not for git itself Dec 14 02:15:54 * halfhalo is talking about git directly, no implementation Dec 14 02:16:53 the issue with the tags is basically running git fetch --tags whenever something needs to be changed Dec 14 02:31:24 why would it be any slower? Dec 14 02:32:58 right now whenever something is changed it has to wait for the tags to be updated, vs with seperate repos it only looks up that one repo Dec 14 02:37:17 oh, and to make it easier on the builder, have a main repo with every other repo as a submodule Dec 14 02:38:34 rwhitby: but isn't the impostah app currently more of an "inspectah" app? :P Dec 14 02:38:53 in function at least Dec 14 02:39:44 destinal: on the surface, yes. Dec 14 02:40:16 * oil hates the -ah so much :( Dec 14 02:40:24 hah Dec 14 02:40:37 h-ah Dec 14 02:41:22 * oil doubts he will get rwhitby to change impostah Dec 14 02:41:42 but i vote that no future webosinternals app uses ah to replace er Dec 14 02:41:46 oil: it's still in the testing feed, so a better name can still prevail Dec 14 02:42:03 * halfhalo thinks oil should name the new patches portal Dec 14 02:42:07 * oil chisels it into a stone tablet atop a mountain Dec 14 02:42:25 portahl Dec 14 02:42:34 Insthpectah Gaghdaht Dec 14 02:42:41 * oil weeps Dec 14 02:45:01 rwhitby: it seems like i can't get the metadoctor to work with the pre2 2.0.1 .. i get an XML error that Installer.xml can't be parsed - i've selected bypass activation, bypass first use, enable developer mode, auto install preware, enable testing feeds, disable upload daemon and enable usb networking .. DEVICE=pre2 all-wr .. does that seem right ? Dec 14 02:45:29 oil: ok, "Inspector" eh? or is it technically an inspectof for lunaservicebus? call it "Bus Inspector" and give it one of those mechanic caps Dec 14 02:45:38 bpadalino: that should work Dec 14 02:45:44 I think we still have time to get rid of the -"ah" on the end Dec 14 02:45:50 for the good of humanity Dec 14 02:45:58 rwhitby: if i look in build and installer.xml, there is ${NOVATGZ} where the filename should be - is that correct ? Dec 14 02:46:04 destinal: Impostah has nothing to do with ls2 inspection Dec 14 02:46:17 its a db8 viewer thing Dec 14 02:46:18 sorry - in roadrunner.xml Dec 14 02:46:20 bpadalino: yep Dec 14 02:46:23 rwhitby: ah Dec 14 02:46:47 All your data base are belong to us. ok, no that's too corny even to be a tagline Dec 14 02:46:51 oil: at the moment, yeah, it's mostly that, although the activities and applications are not in db8 Dec 14 02:47:41 "RAT" Dec 14 02:47:46 Yeah I vote dbeater or inspector or indana jones. Dec 14 02:47:47 Random-Ass Tool Dec 14 02:47:54 lol Dec 14 02:48:32 dbeater just makes me think of an app called "Cookie Monster" and how amazing that name would be P: Dec 14 02:48:42 well shoot .. this is confusing Dec 14 02:50:00 bpadalino: pastebin your Makefile diff Dec 14 02:50:06 and command line Dec 14 02:53:52 rwhitby: http://pastie.textmate.org/private/ax1ddytc33lm6eyk7pifmg Dec 14 02:56:35 bpadalino: dunno what to say. start again with a fresh git checkout?
