**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Apr 09 02:59:57 2011 Apr 09 08:16:27 So my Pre is stuck on the HP logo screen (Pre 2; 2.1.0) Apr 09 08:16:40 I can novaterm into it and I get a root shell, so it's booting into Linux. Apr 09 08:16:50 What's the procedure for getting it back to usable state? Apr 09 08:17:21 webOS doctor Apr 09 08:17:34 okay Apr 09 08:17:45 do you have any idea where something like a SNES emulator would store it's data? Apr 09 08:17:53 * Xuzz would just want to grab the save state. Apr 09 08:18:04 do you use save/restore ? Apr 09 08:18:34 don't know what that is :( Apr 09 08:18:54 ~hgoh Apr 09 08:18:55 hmm... hgoh is the Holy Grail of Homebrew, which can be found at http://bit.ly/holy-grail-of-homebrew Apr 09 08:19:41 I did not. Apr 09 08:19:43 it may have a script for the app Apr 09 08:19:58 what's the app id? Apr 09 08:20:21 org.webosinternals.supernes Apr 09 08:22:06 http://git.webos-internals.org/?p=applications/saverestore.git;a=blob;f=scripts/org.webosinternals.supernes Apr 09 08:23:04 awesome, thanks! Apr 09 08:23:16 * Xuzz will copy over the save files and then doctor it. Apr 09 09:19:07 hi, i'm trying to manually set my compcache values and i need to reset to default, is that possible? Apr 09 11:06:58 Preminus: Read the 2.0 upgrade Wiki, the compcache info is there. I wrote it :P Apr 09 11:09:09 yeah, thats what i was reading, i fugured it out tho, thx and good job Apr 09 11:13:30 BTW, if you saw something in the thread that's not in the Wiki, you're free to update it, that's the nature of the wiki :D Apr 09 11:36:23 Hi, does anyone know how to debug mojo applications using eclipse? I do not see the Web OS option listed under debug. Apr 09 11:44:22 how to disable dropbear ssh server? Apr 09 11:44:57 I've installed the pdk-stuff on my device for gdb, now my OpenSSH isn't the one listening on port 22 anymore Apr 09 11:45:02 but dropbear is now Apr 09 11:55:12 probably a file in /etc/event.d/ Apr 09 11:55:24 hi, can't find it Apr 09 11:55:48 no optware-dropbear, no dropbear Apr 09 11:56:22 oh, sry, there is a dropbear Apr 09 11:56:26 I was blind... Apr 09 12:09:01 thx, now, openssh is back again Apr 09 18:33:14 hello everyone Apr 09 18:43:36 i have some trouble installing webos 2 on a palm pre first generation with the o2 webos metadoctor Apr 09 18:44:29 the metadoctor is working great, just smooth, and the mobile is just rebooting fine, everything as expected Apr 09 18:44:49 but when it comes to profile creatiion it just hangs Apr 09 18:45:01 i can not create a new one or login with my current one Apr 09 18:46:14 i also repeated the webos doctoring like the wiki advise Apr 09 18:46:53 still no luck, any one another hunch or something i could try? Apr 09 18:47:37 wait around a bit, someone that knows a bit more about profiles and stuff will probably drop in Apr 09 18:48:28 where does it hang? Apr 09 18:49:24 after the login or the profile creation with "E-Mail abrufen" (checkin e-mails) Apr 09 18:49:59 telling me either my internet settings would be wrong or my signal would be to bad Apr 09 18:50:20 neither is actually the thing Apr 09 18:50:23 is there a little 3g icon up top? Apr 09 18:50:36 no only edge Apr 09 18:50:46 is there 3g need to finish the installation? Apr 09 18:51:03 not 3g really, but the icon for data Apr 09 18:51:14 try wifi? Apr 09 18:51:34 you do have to have that data connection for profile login Apr 09 18:51:44 Loudergood: can't there is no access to the wifi configuration at thet point in the setup Apr 09 18:52:09 I think meta-doc has stuff in it to enable wifi for profile log-in, but you'd have to redoctor Apr 09 18:52:23 RagingMind: do you have the Edge icon in mind? Apr 09 18:52:34 ok, i would redoctor Apr 09 18:52:39 and also have the wifi settings saved already Apr 09 18:52:47 nothing easier as that Apr 09 18:52:56 i had them in my profil Apr 09 18:54:09 those aren't part of the profile, they are saved on-device. the process that I"m thinking of requires a copy of that on-device wifi file so that meta-doc can install it for you Apr 09 18:54:50 ok, so doctor to 1.4.5 connect to wifi, save the fill, modify meta-doc to use that file and save the day? Apr 09 18:55:10 fill -> file Apr 09 18:55:19 in theory, but I'm wondering why you're not getting a data connection to beginwith Apr 09 18:55:39 if it's not a 2.1 issue causing that, then when you go back to 1.4.5 you'll still be stuck Apr 09 18:55:44 me too Apr 09 18:56:24 you can doctor to 2.1 or 1.4.5 and bypass activation, you wouldn't be on cell network but that way you'd be able to join wifi Apr 09 18:56:47 who's your provider? Apr 09 18:56:49 Does anybody know of a reason why I shouldn't go ahead and do the Sprint Pre Plus process with my ATT Pre Plus while I wait to get my hands on a Pre 2? I can't think of a reason it would prevent the Sprint Pre 2 process. Apr 09 18:56:53 o2 Apr 09 18:57:22 so after bypassing activation is there a way to do it after inital setup Apr 09 18:57:33 yes Apr 09 18:57:46 run the gesture tutorial Apr 09 18:57:53 ahh, good plan Apr 09 18:58:14 i think i already read about skipping activation Apr 09 18:58:31 will take a deeper look, thank both of :) Apr 09 19:02:35 Howdy Apr 09 19:02:43 http://forums.precentral.net/palm-pre-2/279814-sprint-frankenpre-metadoctor-failing.html Apr 09 19:02:45 THIS Apr 09 19:02:49 but not me Apr 09 19:05:46 anyone have thoughts? Apr 09 19:06:46 TheKeithNewman, at 82%? Apr 09 19:07:30 what happens if you just reboot the phone after it fails? Apr 09 19:07:41 my vzw franken pre2 attempts have been dying much sooner than that Apr 09 19:07:50 going to try again soon Apr 09 19:08:21 A failure at 82% tends to be a checksum mismatch which isn't that big of a deal I don't think Apr 09 19:08:24 stuck on webos-internals boot image Apr 09 19:08:51 flickers once... briefly. Apr 09 19:08:57 then starts over again? Apr 09 19:09:00 nope Apr 09 19:09:04 for how long? that first boot takes a *long* time Apr 09 19:09:16 I think I let it sit for 5 minutes? Apr 09 19:09:29 cache issue? Apr 09 19:09:52 rebuilding the cache? Apr 09 19:10:19 something like that, yeah Apr 09 19:10:26 seems uber long, unless the boot processor is restrained to 200mhz, I don't see it having to take that long Apr 09 19:10:38 it can just take a while before it switches over to the HP logo and starts flashing Apr 09 19:10:49 I've seen it take like 3-4 minutes on my Pre2 Apr 09 19:11:01 for first boot OR any boot? Apr 09 19:11:12 cause I let it sit... maybe 5-10 minutes Apr 09 19:11:43 modern smartphones aren't really designed to be full rebooted all the time! Apr 09 19:11:55 understood... Apr 09 19:11:58 this is just with some random reboots, I don't know if the very first takes even longer Apr 09 19:12:06 I never paid that close of attention Apr 09 19:12:23 no mentions of boot times for frankenpre-ing Apr 09 19:12:38 i know failure on 82% or higher is just the ROM check Apr 09 19:12:45 so it could/should be fine Apr 09 19:12:51 yeah Apr 09 19:12:52 I've noticed that after doctoring and when first logging into a profile it takes longer, or at least seems to Apr 09 19:13:03 it'll fail when it hits some MD5 sum it doesn't recognize Apr 09 19:13:14 if you launch it from the command line I think you can see what it fails on Apr 09 19:13:18 the cache needs to be rebuilt from scratch Apr 09 19:14:23 still sitting :( Apr 09 19:14:59 man... my Pre2 clicks loud when closing it Apr 09 19:17:56 still sitting Apr 09 19:18:01 something is wrong Apr 09 19:19:35 can you connect to it via novaterm? Apr 09 19:20:58 I am going to try Apr 09 19:23:33 damn, forgot I had a new laptop, need to install the SDK Apr 09 19:23:35 smh Apr 09 19:38:00 hmmm RagingMind no i have installed and skipped the activation Apr 09 19:40:22 now Apr 09 19:41:09 something is wrong Apr 09 19:41:22 gonna try to doctor... again Apr 09 19:41:29 smh Apr 09 19:42:01 first boot shouldn't be 15 minutes Apr 09 19:44:46 RagingMind: Loudergood thanks both of you, now it's working, great, just perfect :) Apr 09 20:07:30 now it appears to be a reboot loop? Apr 09 20:07:54 normal? Apr 09 20:11:56 bummer Apr 09 20:16:28 The only thing that matters for the Sprint Pre 2 process is that the comm board is activated, right? So put my comm board in a Pre Plus today, but still be able to use it for a Sprint Pre 2 in the future, right? Apr 09 20:16:56 Err, I could put my comm board in a Pre Plus today* Apr 09 20:20:48 AStice: I believe that's correct, but you probably shouldn't take only my word on it Apr 09 20:21:01 boot loops stink Apr 09 20:21:20 flashing... again :( Apr 09 20:23:07 * Loudergood is getting ready to doctor right now Apr 09 20:26:54 The instructions for the Sprint Pre Plus process tell to run the standard Sprint doctor, does that mean I could run the 2.1 metadoctor that I already built for it to get it to 2.1? Apr 09 20:34:43 ok, finally booted in Apr 09 20:34:48 after my 8th doctor session Apr 09 20:34:54 did nothign different Apr 09 20:34:56 nothing Apr 09 20:42:07 dude Apr 09 20:42:23 royalty on the channel nice Apr 09 20:42:55 huh?

Apr 09 20:43:36 cute tho Apr 09 20:43:53 Well, journalistic royalty at least Apr 09 20:44:25 not even that ;) Apr 09 20:44:57 ok kings of WebOS live video comedy Apr 09 20:45:04 I'll take it Apr 09 20:45:06 :D Apr 09 20:45:39 yeah the next increasingly cut comments was "the last folks to use WebOS and live to tell about it" Apr 09 20:47:18 :) Apr 09 20:55:44 now stuck on Palm Profile Apr 09 20:55:47 looks about 70% Apr 09 21:05:04 TheKeithNewman: Did you delete your backup data before doctoring to 2.1? Apr 09 21:29:18 yay wirc goodness Apr 09 21:29:37 ty to all involved :D, don't use it much but looooove it when I do Apr 09 21:29:57 dtzWill: have you given thought to hybrid? Apr 09 21:30:07 so, uh, good work all :D Apr 09 21:31:07 Tibfib: no, but its a good idea for sure. haven't looked closely enough at the hybrid arch to discuss the details, but definitely sounds good Apr 09 21:31:23 would love the ui improvement too Apr 09 21:31:48 I love vba, I want to help out :) Apr 09 21:31:50 as a reviewer once wrote, it looks like an atari, and that's not a compliment ^.^ Apr 09 21:32:00 heheh Apr 09 21:32:30 good. probably won't have time to throw at it properly personally until end of semester, as much as that makes me :( to admit Apr 09 21:33:00 dtzWill|wirc: sounds good, lemme know Apr 09 21:33:11 btw, are you gonna be in urbana this summer?

Apr 09 21:37:14 really? Apr 09 21:37:16 that's stupid Apr 09 21:37:17 yeah Apr 09 21:37:23 fudge. Apr 09 21:37:24 it is Apr 09 21:37:32 I wanna make vba sexy :( Apr 09 21:38:01 I use keyboard controls anyway, but I know others like the vkb Apr 09 21:42:37 Hi all! I've copid the db files from my phone (/var/db), and I understand that these are JSON database files, but I can't figure out which internal format these files use. Is it a documented format? Apr 09 21:42:47 s/copid/copied Apr 09 21:44:17 Trying to open these files in a text editor doesn't help much; there's some readable text, but lots of control chars Apr 09 21:45:18 The files don't seem to be compressed Apr 09 21:45:31 so I really wonder what format they use. Apr 09 21:45:34 Ideas? Apr 09 21:45:58 createsoftware: check the wiki. I believe most of them are sqlite3 databases Apr 09 21:46:02 damn...failed meta dr again.. Apr 09 21:46:24 wgreenhouse: nope; I'm using webos 2.0 :/ Apr 09 21:46:33 oh, no clue then, sorry Apr 09 21:46:35 sorry for not mentioning it Apr 09 21:47:01 There's info on https://developer.palm.com/content/api/dev-guide/mojo/db8.html Apr 09 21:47:09 (they call it "db8") Apr 09 21:47:22 but I can't figure out what internal format they are using Apr 09 21:48:17 There's clearly plenty of JSON data (initialRev":28226,"parts":[{"_id":"6e35","charset":"windows-1252","encodedSize":5514,"encoding":"quoted-printable","estimatedSize":11028,"mimeType":"text/html","path":"/var/file-cache/email/U3/QnrgAg+.html","section":"2","type":"body"}],"sortKeys for example) Apr 09 21:49:54 hmm Apr 09 21:50:43 "though a vast improvement on current webOS storage mechanisms..." buh, the 1.x method was sqlite3 Apr 09 21:51:00 which does offer "a rich set of SQL or SQL-like commands" Apr 09 21:51:08 kitty has doubts about vast improvement Apr 09 21:54:34 I loved sqlite3 myself Apr 09 21:55:00 ah well Apr 09 21:56:20 Anyway, it's pretty annoying: sql3 was nicely readable from my computer, while I can't make had and tail of the new db8 thingy. Apr 09 21:56:44 wgreenhouse: Thanks for your help though =) I'll try #webos :) Apr 09 21:57:08 if you're on some sort of unix box, I'd suggest running the "file" command on it Apr 09 21:57:17 should at least have a plausible guess Apr 09 21:58:44 hmm, interesting; I didn't know this command (:/) Apr 09 21:58:53 let me check Apr 09 21:59:58 brb Apr 09 22:00:10 * Loudergood does the "it's past 82%" dance Apr 09 22:04:02 wgreenhouse: Bingo! Apr 09 22:04:12 Impressive. Apr 09 22:04:16 Berkley DB Apr 09 22:11:11 Dunno how the file command found it out, but it did. Wow. Apr 09 22:15:45 i'm trying to get a klog off my pre, but can't get the command to work Apr 09 22:16:02 heyho Apr 09 22:16:07 on OSX i'm using novaterm, with the command "novacom get file://klog Apr 09 22:16:19 rwhitby I really need your help with my per- Apr 09 22:16:33 pre- Apr 09 22:16:43 with > log.txt as output, but i just get the help screen for novacom Apr 09 22:16:54 somehow the toucscreens(driver?) seems to be broken Apr 09 22:19:33 after using the pre some minutes, the screen is getting wonky. the bottom right corner (launcher icon + equal space left and top) does not respond to touches anymore Apr 09 22:20:18 then it starts to touch itself, open up the wave, move icons, start programs,...even make phone calls! Apr 09 22:20:53 redoctoring does not help, wether it is 2.1 or 1.4.5 Apr 09 22:21:31 do you guys have any ideas on that? Apr 09 22:27:46 ice8blue: did you check your battery? Apr 09 22:27:48 is it loose? Apr 09 22:28:57 yes i did an it fits quite good in, not loose Apr 09 22:29:17 also, if i turn the screen off and on again, it works for some minutes Apr 09 22:29:32 sounds like a hardware issue to me... Apr 09 22:29:47 or could be, i guess i should say Apr 09 22:29:56 what kernel are you using? Apr 09 22:30:08 standard palm kernel atm. Apr 09 22:30:24 i was using uberkernel but thought it could may be because of that Apr 09 22:30:37 have you disabled profile and reboot with Govnah? Apr 09 22:30:39 currently, a clean fresh 1.4.5 is running Apr 09 22:30:55 well, if you doctored, then that shouldn't make a difference Apr 09 22:31:01 (what i said,i mean) Apr 09 22:31:49 ya... that failure occured very surprisingly Apr 09 22:31:55 no fall-downs or anything Apr 09 22:32:12 it started to act crazy on the touchstone Apr 09 22:32:16 and now that... Apr 09 22:32:54 have you read this: http://forums.precentral.net/palm-pre/252309-palm-pre-touching-itself.html Apr 09 22:33:02 yes Apr 09 22:33:17 i haven't ;) Apr 09 22:33:27 but the fixes there don't seem to help Apr 09 22:34:07 well they advice to put some tape in to get some pressure onto the battery Apr 09 22:34:26 did that help? Apr 09 22:34:31 nope =/ Apr 09 22:39:06 hm stupid touchscreen^^ Apr 09 22:39:16 cu guys, will go to sleep now Apr 09 22:39:19 gn8i Apr 09 22:39:41 createsoftware: files in /var/db are db8 format. proprietary to Palm. Apr 09 22:40:22 rwhitby, do u have an idea? Apr 09 22:40:42 touchscreen issues are usually transient hardware problems Apr 09 22:40:54 hmm Apr 09 22:41:04 so i may should send it in Apr 09 22:41:44 ok, good night ;) Apr 09 22:42:57 doctor it first to be sure Apr 09 22:45:13 I'm trying to get a kernel log, but when i type "novacom get file://klog > log.txt" the log.txt just shows the options help for novacom Apr 09 22:45:36 what am i doing wrong? Apr 09 22:46:36 you lost power Apr 09 22:46:47 it only remains if power to the RAM was constant Apr 09 22:47:19 oh, hang on, you're saying novacom is not even accepting the command Apr 09 22:47:24 right Apr 09 22:49:05 i did remove the battery though. so i guess it's gone. In the future i should get the klog while its frozen? Apr 09 22:50:14 yes, you have to have usb power applied, and momentarily glitch the battery, while holding up vol to get into recovery mode Apr 09 22:50:22 it's a tricky thing to do Apr 09 22:51:30 * rwhitby bbl Apr 09 22:51:34 ok, so next time plug in usb, bump the battery out while holding the vol up button, boot to recovery, then get the klog Apr 09 22:53:37 i'm not in recovery mode now, does that explain why novacom won't accept the get command? Apr 09 22:55:50 novacom should get the file anyway, unless it isn't there Apr 09 23:01:30 thats what i thought, but it keeps giving me the options screen for novacom Apr 09 23:41:09 if we are redoctoring to 2.1.0 on legacy do we need to run scripts again or can we just use our already created doctor? Apr 09 23:41:34 same phone? Apr 09 23:41:41 yeah Apr 09 23:41:46 and how long ago were those doctors made? Apr 09 23:42:02 i did it last night and i am doing it again today Apr 09 23:42:28 yeah just reuse the one in the build directory that's right Apr 09 23:42:44 ok thx Apr 09 23:44:09 so weird getting used to this glass vs the matte texture of the screen protector on my pre plus Apr 09 23:46:05 u have pre 2? Apr 09 23:49:56 yup Apr 09 23:50:38 is the glass better than the pre plus screen? Apr 09 23:51:43 it's flat all the way to the edges Apr 09 23:52:14 and I know that my pre plus scratched way too easily Apr 09 23:52:34 it's way better Apr 09 23:52:36 by far Apr 10 00:36:09 GPS error occured...sweet Apr 10 00:37:04 guess I should put together a WR pre plus while I'm at it Apr 10 01:03:44 ok the wr preplus appears to be booting without doctoring... Apr 10 01:20:56 * Loudergood wonders why his search for drpodder in preware is resulting in 600 appible results Apr 10 01:44:52 Loudergood: cause we made then state in the description that their apps are based on drpodder source code Apr 10 01:45:18 lol Apr 10 01:45:43 so they're even more annoying than I thought they were Apr 10 01:45:45 figures Apr 10 01:46:44 so I just did a WR pre2 to verizon swap Apr 10 01:47:14 and the pre2 downloaded a webos 2.1 update afterwards, and the only thing that seems to have been added is the sim toolkit.... Apr 10 01:47:42 sounds like you used the wrong meta-script Apr 10 01:48:05 also I put the WR commboard on the vzw preplus and it just booted fine Apr 10 01:48:18 yes, that's expected Apr 10 01:48:32 the telephony service will be screwed though Apr 10 01:49:01 you would think so, but I used the meta-verizon-franken-unlocked-pre2 script Apr 10 01:49:38 ah, yes. that will OTA update to WR carrier apps Apr 10 01:50:17 oh ok Apr 10 01:50:20 if you don't want that, change the tokens to be a real verizon pre2 and flash the stock verizon pre 2 doctor Apr 10 01:50:53 I don't really care, since I'm only technically using it on verizon anyway Apr 10 01:51:01 I'm using it on a verizon MVNO **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Apr 10 02:59:57 2011
