**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Mar 31 02:59:58 2011 Mar 31 03:01:51 I believe that's right Mar 31 03:02:04 Beauty. Thank you. Here we go Mar 31 03:29:07 anyone on a mobile device in here? how ? in a browser? Mar 31 03:29:39 #webos Mar 31 03:29:44 egadgetguy, wirc Mar 31 03:29:57 wirc Mar 31 03:30:07 thanks Mar 31 03:31:12 yay, the AA on cards is fixed in 3.0 Mar 31 03:31:45 3.0 is NDA Mar 31 03:33:11 all im saying is I saw a screenshot and the AA was nice. Mar 31 03:33:14 geez Mar 31 03:33:34 a screenshot? where.. Mar 31 03:33:43 and I'm not tryin to get onto you :) Mar 31 03:33:47 heh Mar 31 03:33:49 just a friendly reminder :) Mar 31 03:33:59 in the early access forums Mar 31 03:34:00 srsly, wirc Mar 31 03:34:02 trying to keep people out of trouble Mar 31 03:34:13 those are NDA too :) Mar 31 03:34:29 wirc is going to be amazing on the touchpad!! Mar 31 03:34:57 I know! Mar 31 03:35:02 only if it gets rewritten in enyo Mar 31 03:35:07 yeah Mar 31 03:35:16 is there a way to solve a app thinking its being captured when its not? Mar 31 03:35:20 etx`: you cannot discuss information from the early access forums in public. Mar 31 03:35:37 Hell, I'll rewrite the front end in enyo if the service is solid Mar 31 03:35:37 nm I fixed it Mar 31 03:36:04 rwhitby: sorry, just commenting on rendering improvements Mar 31 03:36:23 even that is under NDA Mar 31 03:36:38 a lot of people were complaining about that when 2.0 was released Mar 31 03:36:52 right on, sorry mate Mar 31 03:37:38 ok - now that that's over... Mar 31 03:37:51 HiQ any luck? Mar 31 03:39:31 egadgetguy: Epic! You guys rule. That took forever, but its just syncing everything now. Thanks! Mar 31 03:39:57 technically the NDA prohibits you from even saying you're under NDA or have the materials I think Mar 31 03:40:09 so, sssshhh Mar 31 03:40:32 cool - Hey, I'm just trying to help... and I'm not that deep in yet. Mar 31 03:40:41 oil: you're the primary dev on wirc right? would you re-write it for enyo? Mar 31 03:40:48 HiQ: so it worked? Mar 31 03:40:50 it is the plan Mar 31 03:41:00 destinal: yep. it's hush hush... Mar 31 03:41:01 PatrickC_Pre2: Everything went perfectly Mar 31 03:41:02 who's the primary dev for Govnah? Mar 31 03:41:05 yay Mar 31 03:41:17 * oil as well Mar 31 03:41:34 oil is the primary dev for everything. the rest of us just watch. Mar 31 03:41:42 lol Mar 31 03:41:46 I found a biug Mar 31 03:41:50 I need to decide if I want to spend my time writing a mojo version of the app I'm working on, or if I should try and do 3.0 Mar 31 03:41:51 s/biug/bug/ Mar 31 03:41:53 PatrickC_Pre2 meant: I found a bug Mar 31 03:41:58 rwhitby does support :) Mar 31 03:41:58 BTW - in case you guys missed it, fixing flash fixed my email problem Mar 31 03:42:04 I have confirmed it on 2 devices Mar 31 03:42:11 a reference manager/zotero client makes a lot more sense on the touchpad Mar 31 03:42:16 I will log it next time it happens and send you the logs Mar 31 03:42:42 what kind of bug patrick? Mar 31 03:43:03 Anyone knows how to set /usr/local as a prefix for building nss? :) Mar 31 03:43:23 Govnah keeps switching from my set profile to an "Unknown" profile Mar 31 03:43:34 does that for me too Mar 31 03:43:36 actually Mar 31 03:43:38 and it whacks everything up when it does that... Mar 31 03:43:50 heh... bugs Mar 31 03:43:53 happens to me too - on two devices Mar 31 03:44:05 happens on my touchpad too Mar 31 03:44:06 they are just random features, right halfhalo :) Mar 31 03:44:17 happens on my Pre3 too Mar 31 03:44:49 happens to me on my [REDACTED] Mar 31 03:45:08 just saw it on my meta'd plus Mar 31 03:45:19 PatrickC_Pre2: I've also noticed that it destroys my battery when it's in that mode Mar 31 03:45:20 all my devices are meta'd Mar 31 03:45:28 whatever mode that is Mar 31 03:45:35 I was getting it on the standard 1.4.5 install Mar 31 03:45:38 me too patrick... Mar 31 03:45:41 on occasion Mar 31 03:45:48 as was I Mar 31 03:45:52 oil: sometimes I think our idea of actually matching profiles in real time was the wrong thing to do. we should have just reported the last one set, and then no-one would care. Mar 31 03:46:10 less accurate :/ Mar 31 03:46:24 rwhitby: I'd still probably care, just not have the right information Mar 31 03:46:45 there was the plan to change the requirements based on what hte kernel changes Mar 31 03:46:47 at least now, when my battery life is going down the drain, I can check govnah and fix it Mar 31 03:46:54 but we never got a list of this effects this and makes it this when its like this Mar 31 03:47:08 how are the profiles managed and how do they get lost? Mar 31 03:47:20 they're not "lost" Mar 31 03:47:21 they don't Mar 31 03:47:29 lets say you have your profile set with a max of 1ghz Mar 31 03:47:39 and you stick it on a ts and the kernel automatically clocks it down Mar 31 03:47:49 you're no longer running 1ghz so the profile no longer matches Mar 31 03:47:51 so you see unknown Mar 31 03:47:52 ts? Mar 31 03:47:56 touchstone Mar 31 03:48:00 or whatever trigger Mar 31 03:48:01 ^^ Mar 31 03:48:04 low power Mar 31 03:48:05 etc Mar 31 03:48:11 oh Mar 31 03:48:15 temp, batt, charging Mar 31 03:48:22 oh ok.. then I don't have to log it :) Mar 31 03:48:29 so it's unrecognized. Mar 31 03:48:31 * rwhitby rests his case Mar 31 03:48:41 any idea why it'd be affecting batt life? Mar 31 03:48:54 at least in my case, it almost seems like it's in a state of limbo Mar 31 03:49:02 Govnah has no control over battery life Mar 31 03:49:10 my dad had something weird happen the other day Mar 31 03:49:13 (other that sucking battery if you leave Govnah running) Mar 31 03:49:13 cpu scaling does Mar 31 03:49:16 * egadgetguy thinks it needs a way to reset it to the current profile it if gets changed by the ts or lp things Mar 31 03:49:27 his battery was dying (I know... right!) lol Mar 31 03:49:28 summatusmentis: Govnah does not actively control cpu scaling Mar 31 03:49:42 so he plugged it in, but it kept dying.. and didn't charge Mar 31 03:49:48 Govnah sets parameters that the kernel uses to implement these things Mar 31 03:49:50 he tried several different outlets Mar 31 03:49:52 rwhitby: I know that, is it possible there's a kernel bog that I'm hitting? Mar 31 03:50:00 once the parameters are set, Govnah plays no further part. Mar 31 03:50:11 but the problem seemed to be the "Unknown" govnah profile Mar 31 03:50:23 I notice that when govnah is showing "Unknown" or "N/A", my battery life is drastically lower Mar 31 03:50:32 would it be better to use f102 ?? that only has one setting? Mar 31 03:50:35 which makes me wonder if the kernel scaling stuff is not happening correctly Mar 31 03:50:42 right, both of you are mixing cause and effect Mar 31 03:51:38 ok, so if it's not govnah, is it possible I'm still hitting an unkown/unfixed bug? Mar 31 03:51:55 I just notice it in govnah, doesn't mean it's govnah doing it Mar 31 03:51:55 cause - I set govnah to a profile [screenstate 500/1000] effect [the pre goes at 500 with screen off and 1000 with it on...] Mar 31 03:51:56 not in govnah Mar 31 03:52:36 so... what cause tells the kernal to stop listening to govnah? Mar 31 03:52:45 the kernel doesn't listen to govnah Mar 31 03:52:53 WebOS Quick Install doesn't work on 2.1? Mar 31 03:52:54 can govnah be made to take over again? Mar 31 03:53:06 govnah sets parameters *once* and it's the kernel's job from there. Mar 31 03:53:18 govnah is never in control, so it can't "take over" Mar 31 03:53:19 then how is it that I use govnah to set a profile? Mar 31 03:53:38 govnah is basically "passing arguments" to the kernel Mar 31 03:53:41 when you set a profile, the new parameters are sent *once* to the kernel Mar 31 03:53:55 not directly controlling the kernel Mar 31 03:54:02 correct Mar 31 03:54:20 so the bug is that govnah can't find the profile if the power thing happens? Mar 31 03:54:34 because it got "reset"? Mar 31 03:54:40 there is no matching profile to find Mar 31 03:54:58 govnah has no concept of what's happening kernel side, right? Mar 31 03:55:00 the kernel is reporting a set of running conditions which do not match any profile Mar 31 03:55:01 nobody understands heh Mar 31 03:55:09 * halfhalo does Mar 31 03:55:14 lies Mar 31 03:55:19 I do, to some extent Mar 31 03:55:33 * egadgetguy is starting to. Mar 31 03:56:21 good, both of you can write it up on the Govnah wiki page and we'll see if you do. Mar 31 03:56:33 govnah is polling the kernal for a profile that matches one in it's database... not finding one, it simply says "unknown" Mar 31 03:56:39 rwhitby: so when the kernel is in the state where it's reporting non-profile conditions, is there a known bug for messing w/ the batter? Mar 31 03:56:39 what I Mar 31 03:56:42 * halfhalo is known to tell a tale or two, thats true Mar 31 03:57:03 I'm kinda understanding... Mar 31 03:57:04 egadgetguy: as I understand it, that's correct Mar 31 03:57:11 it makes more sense now Mar 31 03:57:22 egadgetguy: it does not poll for a profile Mar 31 03:57:41 it gets a set of running conditions, and determine whether those match a predefined profile or not Mar 31 03:57:52 What I'm saying is that if it polls and doesn't see the one that was set last by the user, [comparitor] then it ought to set it to that again... rather than sit in limbo. Mar 31 03:58:16 there are valid states where the running conditions should not match a profile Mar 31 03:58:30 e.g. when charging, or in overtemp, or in underbattery. Mar 31 03:58:37 it could be programmed to do that... as long as conditions are met... like power is so much and temp is so little... Mar 31 03:58:52 egadgetguy: patches welcome Mar 31 03:59:16 and why can't it be overclocked when charging??? Mar 31 03:59:28 it can be Mar 31 03:59:30 "can't" Mar 31 03:59:41 but it can also overheat a lot easier :) Mar 31 03:59:54 ok... Mar 31 04:00:11 egadgetguy: you may want to peruse the advanced settings Mar 31 04:00:17 i get it... if it's not running, it can't check... Mar 31 04:00:31 * halfhalo notes on a completely different subject he has an almost completely working (but spineless) patch and revision object for node Patch Portal, Mar 31 04:00:35 right? Mar 31 04:00:55 egadgetguy: technically, there's nothing stopping it from being overclocked while charging. That doesn't mean it should be Mar 31 04:01:04 (again, as I understand it) Mar 31 04:01:13 because of heat issues... got it Mar 31 04:01:23 right Mar 31 04:01:50 there's an option to allow it. caveat emptor Mar 31 04:02:05 idea... on event, not charging, check profile against current setting... ? Mar 31 04:02:11 I have a touchstone mounted on the air conditioning vent in my car. it's not going to overheat there. Mar 31 04:02:13 last setting Mar 31 04:02:40 just a thought. Mar 31 04:02:59 egadgetguy: http://git.webos-internals.org/?p=applications/govnah.git;a=summary Mar 31 04:03:37 something to read before putting forward any other "just a thought's" :) Mar 31 04:04:00 in the vaste sea that is webos, I am still sailing along the coastline so to speak Mar 31 04:04:13 govnah is way further out than webos. Mar 31 04:04:19 anyone have an idea on how to add yahoo to my just type list? Mar 31 04:06:40 isn't there a patch for that? Mar 31 04:07:20 I believe there is for 1.4.5 Mar 31 04:07:28 but that's for universal search Mar 31 04:07:48 RagingMind: visit Yahoo.com search? Mar 31 04:07:52 I have gone snorkling and done a few dives. but none rockin the submarine squadrines yet. Mar 31 04:08:00 none = not Mar 31 04:08:03 PatrickC_Pre2, that's *not* in just type :-P Mar 31 04:08:28 but going to the yahoo page doesn't give me the "add search" notification Mar 31 04:08:46 hmmm. that's what I was getting at :) Mar 31 04:09:01 so I'm trying to remember what webos uses to detect a search engine Mar 31 04:09:19 but so far all my searches haven't returned much Mar 31 04:09:21 blah Mar 31 04:22:17 bed time... will start coming here more often...I like to help. Mar 31 04:24:16 so um... who has a or European pre or pre+ and can check something for me :) Mar 31 04:24:21 * oil keeps thinking that guy is egaudet Mar 31 04:24:35 lol Mar 31 04:25:00 I had the same thought Mar 31 04:27:56 super easy... no modification to the phone... just checking what number is on a certain line of a file :) Mar 31 04:49:18 cat /var/lib/modem/palm_nv_backup.txt | grep 3756 Mar 31 06:01:04 ~seen rwhitby Mar 31 06:01:10 rwhitby is currently on #webos-internals. Has said a total of 36 messages. Is idling for 1h 56m 56s, last said: 'govnah is way further out than webos.'. Mar 31 06:01:17 NuttyBunny: yo Mar 31 06:01:56 rhitby: ah, hey :) did you get my question about building the packages on the WIDK for the emu? :) Mar 31 06:02:34 yep, haven't done it. Mar 31 06:02:38 need to get an x86 rootfs Mar 31 06:03:34 which can be obtained from the sdk, right? I mean, there's no rush, but... that touchpad webOS 3.0 seems too nice to leave "untouched" :D Mar 31 06:13:03 Well, thanks, gotta go, I have to sleep a bit better than the other days, today I'll sleep 5 hours, 12am thru 5 am Mar 31 06:22:13 That's nice, my subnet calculator looks pretty good at 1024x768, fully functional since I didn't depend on backswipe but on back buttons :) Mar 31 08:10:13 hi all Mar 31 08:10:56 could some answer a few questions for me about a palm pre minus Mar 31 08:11:04 what is the battery life like? Mar 31 08:19:14 always carry a spare battery Mar 31 08:37:27 morning! Mar 31 08:37:45 * ice8lue 's dev pre2 is finally shipped =D Mar 31 09:02:13 dang Mar 31 09:02:18 some devices are on the way to Germany Mar 31 09:02:20 but not mine Mar 31 09:02:24 :-) Mar 31 09:04:20 how many hours do you all get off your palm pre minus Mar 31 09:04:52 hmmm Mar 31 09:04:59 48 without mobile data Mar 31 09:05:20 if I am not doing anything on it Mar 31 09:05:26 do you think i would get 17 hours with light use Mar 31 09:05:32 aka just twitter Mar 31 09:05:47 18-24 when I'm constantly playing around with it Mar 31 09:05:58 that sounds pritty good Mar 31 09:05:59 mind you, I have data disabled Mar 31 09:06:12 i only really use my phone for twitter and abit of facebook Mar 31 09:06:20 3G/EDGE are a real battery killer Mar 31 09:06:30 oh right i see Mar 31 09:07:16 ive got a htc g1 atm so im used to bad battery life lol Mar 31 09:10:50 well Mar 31 09:10:56 I almost always have WiFi enabled Mar 31 09:11:00 even if I'm away from home Mar 31 09:11:08 don't know how much drain that gives me Mar 31 09:11:18 but I'm not using it 100% offline Mar 31 09:18:06 thanks for the help Mar 31 09:19:57 im hoping the join the palm pre community Mar 31 09:20:02 laterz Mar 31 09:42:34 w 1 Mar 31 11:38:01 heyho Mar 31 13:29:46 so many interesting things in the packages list for webos... like libspeex :) Mar 31 13:30:20 woah! hotplug? seriously? Mar 31 13:46:05 so um... I'm writing an email to someone at palm about the open source package list... anyone have any suggestions about how I can *not* sound like a snobby, demanding free software nut? Mar 31 13:49:00 ... well, what are you asking for? Mar 31 13:49:14 btw.. hi everyone :) Mar 31 13:49:38 hi NuttyBunny Mar 31 13:49:57 there are a couple oddities about the page, a few links are mixed up Mar 31 13:50:01 and a few seem to be missing Mar 31 13:50:18 ah, yes, but they are in previous versions Mar 31 13:50:42 I guess you could just send an email to Chuq with the errors, they're pretty open to that Mar 31 13:50:50 they fixed the kernel link in a couple of hours Mar 31 13:51:05 there's an opensource question email link that I"m composing an email to now Mar 31 13:51:58 I've figured out how to talk to people and be nice (out of necessity), but whenever I write asking about/for something when I re-read it to myself I think I sound like an ass Mar 31 13:52:08 maybe it's all in my head Mar 31 13:53:31 hehehe... it happens to me but the other way around... but I tend to be polite on the emails and my gf says I sound rude in person... Mar 31 13:53:34 and does the emulator use the stock 2.6.24 kernel? or one of the device specific ones? Mar 31 13:54:01 My guess would to go stock 2.6.24 Mar 31 13:54:38 * NuttyBunny boots the emu to see :) Mar 31 13:55:14 how would you check that? Mar 31 13:55:42 uname -a of course Mar 31 13:56:05 Linux qemux86 2.6.26 #1 SMP Tue Mar 22 18:22:51 PDT 2011 i686 GNU/Linux Mar 31 13:56:24 heh, I didn't think the device specific ones would show anything different Mar 31 13:57:04 The Pre (2.1) shows: Linux XXXXXX - Palm Pre 2.6.24-palm-joplin-3430 #2 Tue Mar 8 19:23:11 UTC 2011 armv7l GNU/Linux Mar 31 13:57:46 well, I'll include the question in the email, just in case Mar 31 14:58:29 hi is someone here who knows how to use the camsrc in a gstreamer pipe on webos 1.4.5 Mar 31 14:59:15 I think no one knows..... if someone knew there would be at least one homebrew app using it ;) Mar 31 14:59:40 but feel free to experiment! Mar 31 14:59:44 hmm thats bad news :( Mar 31 15:00:32 yep, we've been told that we would have access to camera APIs ... eventually... and it never happened... Mar 31 15:02:07 do you know if the situation under webos2.0 is better? Mar 31 15:04:54 no, but at least there's now access to the mic :S Mar 31 15:05:37 Arthurthorton on PreCentral did a nice voice recording app, I don't know if he used gstreamer Mar 31 15:06:02 but it's on the catalog, so it should have used Palm supported methods Mar 31 15:07:36 yeah access to the mic works for me as well. Mar 31 15:14:08 isn't there a similar method for the video? (I haven't had time to look into it), you may have to dig into the opensource.palm.com files to see if they left something interesting there :) Mar 31 15:15:08 there's a camsrc-omap36xx package Mar 31 15:16:18 i saw the casrc-omap36xx package for webos 2.0. thats why i asket wether the situation is better under webos 2.0 Mar 31 15:17:33 apparently nobody's exploited it yet. you could be the first! Mar 31 15:19:06 alright^^ Mar 31 15:47:48 So I just 2.1.0'd my Sprint Pre-, but I'm having issues installing AdvancedSystemPref patches. I have no patches currently installed, but when I try to install the Framework LEGACY (normal or VZW), both are giving me errors. Can any apps interfere with this patch? Mar 31 15:59:59 Nevermind. Apparently the new metadoctor scripts allow the use of non-LEGACY patches. That one installed fine. Thanks everyone! Mar 31 16:15:10 phoque: what is undefined? Mar 31 16:15:45 haeffb, it says "Cannot call method 'setLength' of undefined" Mar 31 16:15:58 when I try to run Mar 31 16:15:58 this.controller.setupWidget('spotList', this.listAttributes, this.listModel); Mar 31 16:16:01 oops, wrong channel Mar 31 16:16:02 this.controller.get('spotList').mojo.setLength(items.length); Mar 31 16:16:15 doesn't matter to me, I understood you :-D Mar 31 16:16:27 <------ Mar 31 17:55:27 ello Mar 31 17:58:22 het Mar 31 17:58:23 hey Mar 31 18:01:49 NuttyBunny: long time no see Mar 31 18:02:20 hehehe... yeah :) Mar 31 18:02:28 NuttyBunny: hey so i got the frankenpre working... kinda\ Mar 31 18:04:04 kinda?... lemme guess, it doesn't want to activate?

Mar 31 19:18:52 you could somehow record them and then transfer them to your Pre? Mar 31 19:19:24 Ya i was hopeing to avoid having to record them, but that is one option =) Mar 31 19:20:52 well i spose i should try a full sync from one, not something i have done for quite some time Mar 31 19:26:42 hi i've tried the meta-doctor script under mac os x 10.5 but it generates an invalid .jar file any suggestions? Mar 31 19:26:49 Arr i should of known i never have an original Idea Mar 31 19:27:07 Some one already extracted the Treo sounds =) Mar 31 19:46:32 bla_: have you tried updating java?

Mar 31 20:07:20 (lowecase w, that's the way I pay my 'respect' to it) Mar 31 20:10:44 windoze Mar 31 20:11:24 Is there a certian way to fix the "This is a webos application"? Mar 31 20:11:27 NuttyBunny: you runnin natty yet :p Mar 31 20:12:13 I'm running nuts pretty much right now, this netscape nss library is a headache Mar 31 20:13:38 and the only thing I was really interested to poke in with 3.0 was the messaging subsystem... which, by the way, doesn't connect to gtalk in my machine... bah Mar 31 20:14:04 Meh ubuntu is OK Mar 31 20:14:12 Puppy Linux 0 Mar 31 20:14:15 wns Mar 31 20:14:37 "OK"? Ubuntu is Sheldon's favorite linux based operating system! :D hehehe Mar 31 20:15:53 NuttyBunny: lol that clip went around work for awhile Mar 31 20:16:33 yeah, it was funny :) but knowing Sheldon, he would have preferred Gentoo Mar 31 20:17:13 bun Mar 31 20:17:50 bumtooth is ok, they just have strange idears all the time Mar 31 20:18:19 like WTF was wrong with init Mar 31 20:18:42 well, upstart was supposed to be faster Mar 31 20:18:56 ubuntu is weird Mar 31 20:19:27 ubuntu is gnome, so, gnome is weird Mar 31 20:19:36 NuttyBunny: ubuntu's not gnome anymore Mar 31 20:19:39 and thats another point Mar 31 20:19:40 now it's Unity Mar 31 20:19:45 so maybe Ubuntu will become sane Mar 31 20:19:51 but meh, gnome, too Mar 31 20:20:01 why can you not get gid of gnome, even if you install another window manager Mar 31 20:20:26 ah, yeah, stupid Unity... hehehe Mar 31 20:20:33 RichT23_: that "feature" is an advertisement for Debian :) Mar 31 20:20:48 =) exactly Mar 31 20:20:55 works fine on netbooks, but I don't like it for desktops Mar 31 20:21:08 i will note my laptop is bumtooth...

Mar 31 20:28:40 last time I used a linux os on a desktop was.... feb 25 for scale Mar 31 20:28:53 fair enough then Mar 31 20:29:06 * cwayne is used to people saying "I used linux in 2001, NEVER AGAIN" Mar 31 20:29:15 lol Mar 31 20:29:22 now, linux on server is a different story Mar 31 20:29:24 THAT I love Mar 31 20:29:27 mmmm Mar 31 20:29:46 i just got a vps with ubuntu-server Mar 31 20:29:49 halfhalo: you'd like my linux desktops, they act like servers Mar 31 20:29:55 I spend most of my time on tty in screen Mar 31 20:30:02 booo Mar 31 20:30:13 i want stupid simplicity on my desktop for everyday stuff Mar 31 20:30:22 Solaris all the way for server ;) Mar 31 20:30:41 cwayne: I grew up with Linux (was exposed to it around the same time as win 3.1) Mar 31 20:30:48 hence why I run win7 on all my pc's but my two dev pc's Mar 31 20:30:50 so I don't really find Windows desktop metaphor simple Mar 31 20:31:13 er s/cwayne/halfhalo/ Mar 31 20:31:16 yeah, i havent used windows since i started this job, not sure i remember it Mar 31 20:31:18 lol Mar 31 20:33:04 I like windows Mar 31 20:33:08 I do Mar 31 20:33:17 Its great for everything but one thing I need it to do Mar 31 20:33:26 which thing? Mar 31 20:33:36 ah needs mah textmate Mar 31 20:34:00 lol Mar 31 20:34:14 runs linux servers, windows desktop, but wants his hipster Mac text editor :-P Mar 31 20:34:24 lol Mar 31 20:34:37 damn straight Mar 31 20:34:39 lol Mar 31 20:34:47 * halfhalo also have a mac mini and older MBP Mar 31 20:34:54 * NuttyBunny runs linux on his home server, desktop, laptop, netbook and phone :D Mar 31 20:35:03 NuttyBunny: high five Mar 31 20:35:10 :D Mar 31 20:35:22 so does someone want to check something on their sprint or EU pre/+ for me? super fast I promise Mar 31 20:35:58 I do run ubuntu in unity mode in vmware, I will say that Mar 31 20:37:52 http://forums.precentral.net/palm-pre-tips-information-resources/206982-palm-pre-gps-additional-gps-modes-autonomous-assisted-cached-23.html#post2508534 Mar 31 20:38:06 Ah, I forgot my access point, a Linksys WRT54G-2.2, also runs Linux Mar 31 20:38:17 according to that post nv item 3756 is a gps setting Mar 31 20:38:40 and running 'cat /var/lib/modem/palm_nv_backup.txt | grep 3756' should tell us what that setting is on a phone Mar 31 20:38:42 NuttyBunny: did you use DD-WRT or one o' those distros for it? Mar 31 20:38:58 I just want to see if it actually varies between the carriers/models of Pre Mar 31 20:39:11 doesn't change or do anything to the phone :) Mar 31 20:40:59 wgreenhouse: Tomato 1.28 Mar 31 20:41:05 cool Mar 31 20:55:37 no takers? hmmm Mar 31 21:59:16 So - my phone is REALLY messed up. Can't even get it into recovery mode. Can I do the OMAP boot procedure through cygwin or do I need to download linux Mar 31 22:00:57 AStice: It should go to recovery no matter what Mar 31 22:01:03 depends on your usb driver. I'd recommend booting a ubuntu live-cd Mar 31 22:01:13 NuttyBunny-Pre: not if you've blown away the boot loader Mar 31 22:01:36 AStice: if you see any logo of any kind on the display, then you still have the bootloader and should be able to get into recovery mode Mar 31 22:01:49 (i.e. if you see a logo, the problem is on your computer, not your phone) Mar 31 22:02:03 I know, can't get any logo. Screen just stays black Mar 31 22:02:20 rwhitby: I thought the Pre was indestructible :) Mar 31 22:03:06 Mine either is giving up the ghost (after 15 months of loyal service) or just did not like the latest release of AV8B Mar 31 22:03:35 NuttyBunny-Pre: it is, the omap usb boot procedure is the last resort Mar 31 22:03:36 Ooh, looks like I have an ubuntu image for virtualbox on my external. That should work, right? Mar 31 22:03:59 I doubt that virtualbox will be able to talk to the omap via usb Mar 31 22:04:04 use a real linux box Mar 31 22:04:11 live-cd if necessary Mar 31 22:05:13 Alrighty Mar 31 22:09:56 * NuttyBunny-Pre reads and learns :D Mar 31 22:10:26 AStice: I presume you've tried another battery first? Mar 31 22:11:21 I don't have another battery on me, but I did try this battery in another phone. Yeah, I lost a battery so I have two Pres and only one battery Mar 31 22:13:30 Then again - it could be that the power button has given out. It has been giving me trouble lately Mar 31 22:13:40 Is there a way I can check that? Mar 31 22:14:47 O_o It was the power button Mar 31 22:15:07 Took the battery out, plugged it directly into the wall, put the battery back in and it powered right up Mar 31 22:15:28 booo... I wanted to see blood and guts ;) Mar 31 22:15:34 Now don't I feel dumb Mar 31 22:16:23 Any way I could fix the power button, or should I just deal with it for a few days/weeks until my Pre 2 gets here? Mar 31 22:17:28 I think you can survive Mar 31 22:19:32 Oh, certainly - just didn't know if power buttons were easy to fix Mar 31 22:19:57 * NuttyBunny-Pre has earned the power of bringing Pre's back from death. Exp+1 :D Mar 31 22:20:00 I would imagine no, now that I think about it Mar 31 22:20:15 It's a really tiny button Mar 31 22:21:01 the best you could ever do is spray a small amount of isopropyl alcohol on it (Pre open, no battery, etc) and hope for the best Mar 31 22:21:36 Hmm, I might try that. No way that would damage anything, right? Not really a hardware guy, myself. Mar 31 22:23:11 no, not really, and if it manages to get in the screen just let it dry Mar 31 22:24:33 just be careful with the volume button ribbon :) Mar 31 22:24:44 (cable) Mar 31 22:36:44 AStice: there are forum posts on fixing the power button Mar 31 22:37:00 often it's just the little plastic tooth needs bending Mar 31 22:43:51 I tried using the plastic part of the button from one of my other Pres and it didn't fix it, as well as trying the plastic piece from this button and they worked fine. Pretty sure something got messed up one of the several times I've dropped the thing Mar 31 22:48:58 does pushing the raw button contact on the PCB work? Mar 31 22:56:19 "With the Ubuntu 11.04 Beta 1 release, the Ubuntu ARM team is proud to introduce the "Headless" developer image for OMAP3 and OMAP4 hardware.".. sounds interesting Mar 31 22:58:04 rwhitby: I'm not sure what you mean by that. I've taken the plastic piece off and depressed the little copper part of the button, but that doesn't work either. Mar 31 23:11:17 AStice: if depressing the copper part doesn't work, then you've got a far deeper issue Mar 31 23:11:27 you won't be able to fix that. Mar 31 23:12:19 Yeah - I figured Mar 31 23:12:59 That's ok, I'll survive for the week of two Mar 31 23:13:20 how's it goin AStice? Apr 01 01:36:29 mmm... ubuntu 11.04 beta runs slow on my netbook :( Apr 01 01:58:24 NuttyBunny: it flies on my laptop..of course that's atom vs core2duo Apr 01 02:05:44 I'm a weirdo, but I love my Debian Squeeze systems with practically no desktop at all Apr 01 02:05:48 and my webOS touchscreen phone Apr 01 02:06:22 * rwhitby only runs linux headless, cause all linux GUIs suck Apr 01 02:07:01 rwhitby: I like the framebuffer console, with a nice unicode console font (Terminus, in my case) Apr 01 02:07:03 and GNU screen Apr 01 02:07:05 and Emacs Apr 01 02:07:13 screen rocks :) Apr 01 02:07:16 I start up X basically when I need a graphical browser or something Apr 01 02:07:24 yeah, screen and emacs and the only UI I use on Linux Apr 01 02:07:36 X is just a way to run more terminals on your screen Apr 01 02:07:52 rwhitby: that's how I operate my netbook most days (screen and emacs on tty) Apr 01 02:07:55 * NuttyBunny uses screen with a 52x36 window ;) Apr 01 02:07:57 very pleasant Apr 01 02:09:33 oh well emacs is practically as bloated as gnome anyway ;) Apr 01 02:09:52 not when you run it in no-windows mode :) Apr 01 02:10:10 emacs -nw ftw Apr 01 02:10:13 * Loudergood is just a smart ass vi user Apr 01 02:10:27 yeah, vi is fine when emacs is not available Apr 01 02:11:04 emacs --daemon for me. then I can attach gtk or -nw clients as needed for various tasks Apr 01 02:17:19 vim ftw :p Apr 01 02:17:41 Xuzz: can you IRC from vim?

Apr 01 02:26:43 yes Apr 01 02:27:09 halfhalo: especially if you're HS aged Apr 01 02:27:37 we need a m.developer.palm.com site... Apr 01 02:27:54 loudergood: can you make that happen?
