**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Aug 04 02:59:57 2011 Aug 04 06:12:31 ok....all I have to say is that the 1.7ghz kernel is pretty friggen fast... Aug 04 06:13:08 works beautifully on my touchpad Aug 04 06:38:41 gah libusb+novacom woes Aug 04 07:01:23 shame it's closed-source and precom can't be used for a doctor... Aug 04 07:01:23 lol Aug 04 07:01:24 >.< Aug 04 07:03:18 dtzWill: what are you up to? Aug 04 07:04:14 nothing special, just some doctoring. Aug 04 07:04:26 usually using ubuntu's libusb's gets novacom working, but... Aug 04 07:04:36 this time not so much, and that's..frustrating. Aug 04 07:05:43 copy that Aug 04 07:06:09 hehe tp sparked your interest back into x eh? Aug 04 07:06:20 it did! :D Aug 04 07:06:22 bbiab Aug 04 07:06:25 >.< Aug 04 07:08:37 haha anyone know the limitations of the tga's in bootie? Aug 04 07:08:45 and/or how to create an image suitable for taht? Aug 04 07:09:32 destinal: did a lot of playing with bootie before Aug 04 07:10:45 well replacing the image is nice with metadoctor Aug 04 07:10:55 but not sure what requirements the image has :) Aug 04 07:17:24 lol just install novacom on my media center that runs ubuntu Aug 04 07:17:27 done fighting libusb Aug 04 07:17:29 * dtzWill resigns sadly Aug 04 07:17:40 wow Aug 04 07:18:08 it is late Aug 04 07:18:21 heh Aug 04 07:18:25 what time is it there?

Aug 04 07:22:59 Jack87-wIRC: it's 2:21 here Aug 04 07:23:37 central for you :-) Aug 04 07:23:48 mountain for me Aug 04 07:35:55 * dwc- glares at the 330mb rvice.backup.js Aug 04 07:39:06 hmm, what happened to the browse local files patch for the browser? :( Aug 04 07:40:48 oh is it in default 3.0.2 now? hmm Aug 04 07:50:42 doubt it Aug 04 07:51:04 yeah. hmm, patch needs updating Aug 04 07:51:08 was a small fix too iirc Aug 04 08:04:08 time to run. been fun Aug 04 08:08:23 * dtzWill tries to submit update for file url patch Aug 04 08:09:16 cuz, uh, the exact same patch applies and works :) Aug 04 08:13:01 j/w who manages that? O:) Aug 04 08:31:40 dtzWill: did you mean to update the 3.0.0 patch too? Aug 04 09:44:24 rwhitby: i meant to mark the updated result as compat with both Aug 04 09:44:58 i downloaded the 3.0.0 patch, applied it directly on 3.0.2, and tested..and 'updated' with same file :) Aug 04 09:45:05 sorry if i used the portal wrong :( Aug 04 09:49:39 nope, that's fine. Aug 04 09:49:52 just means folks on 3.0.0 will see a version bump for no reason Aug 04 14:54:11 where can I get a flash player and better broweser for pixi plus Aug 04 14:56:34 any ideas Aug 04 14:56:44 Who's working on Xserver/Executah on the TouchPad (if anybody)? Aug 04 14:57:09 bighoss: I'm pretty happy with the built-in browser's Flash capabilities. Aug 04 14:57:27 I think Firefox and Opera are in the process of being ported. Aug 04 14:57:39 I dont think it has any flash capabilities Aug 04 14:57:39 it won't let me watch video's Aug 04 14:57:47 and I doubt those are being ported Aug 04 14:57:51 Oh wait, Pixi Plus Aug 04 14:57:53 Never mind Aug 04 14:58:10 videos from what site Aug 04 14:58:13 My mind is broked Aug 04 14:58:58 the browser is pretty awesome though what would you consider a "better browser"? Aug 04 14:59:02 no sites... Tube.me mostly Aug 04 14:59:38 have you added any patches or apps from homebrew Aug 04 14:59:38 tube.me? that's not even a video site :) Aug 04 14:59:48 well some, sure Aug 04 14:59:54 but there's no flash support for the pixi Aug 04 15:00:07 if you're looking for browser patches, install preware Aug 04 15:00:12 then browse the list of browser patches in there. Aug 04 15:00:13 tubeplus.me one of those sorry Aug 04 15:00:26 but you won't find any flash Aug 04 15:00:42 there's none really Aug 04 15:00:59 it says adobe has one Aug 04 15:01:05 flash is supported on webos 2+ devices Aug 04 15:01:07 pixi can't handle flash Aug 04 15:01:27 I have a bluetooth keyboard connected to my TouchPad but the virtual keyboard empty space is still there while Xserver is running. Is this a known issue and being worked on? Aug 04 15:01:57 like ubuntu or .tar.something are the choices under linux Aug 04 15:02:29 this is nor for arm computers Aug 04 15:02:44 not* Aug 04 15:02:44 is x server anygood Aug 04 15:03:03 what x server :)( Aug 04 15:03:25 under preware Aug 04 15:03:28 well Aug 04 15:03:28 With Xecutah Aug 04 15:03:32 it installs a x server Aug 04 15:03:33 I'm on 3.0.2 Aug 04 15:03:36 like 10 apps Aug 04 15:04:10 it might be any good depending on what you want to do with it :) Aug 04 15:04:36 wat is it for Aug 04 15:04:52 well, running x applications Aug 04 15:05:04 AtomicPlayboy: yes, known 'issue' Aug 04 15:05:06 like openoffice Aug 04 15:05:18 or xterm :) Aug 04 15:05:37 oh Aug 04 15:05:46 there's a browser too I think... epiphany Aug 04 15:05:49 atm afaik there's no way to determine if the bt keyboard is connected (or if the virtual keyboard is showing), so we just hardcode it atm. Aug 04 15:05:54 dtzWill: I take it it's not actually a problem and I'm just too stupid to figure out-- Aug 04 15:05:57 Oh, okay. Aug 04 15:05:59 eventually we might let you change the size dynamically Aug 04 15:06:21 and hope that solves that Aug 04 15:06:58 Alright Aug 04 15:07:35 I always immediately assume that I'm the problem (99% of all computer problems are behind the keyboard) and just want a sanity check most of the time Aug 04 15:07:43 they need a patch for speaker adjustments Aug 04 15:08:16 nah, X is in testing feeds for a reason Aug 04 15:08:32 Gotcha Aug 04 15:08:38 I'm happy to test and report back Aug 04 15:08:45 And apologize if I annoy the crap out of you guys Aug 04 15:10:11 Man I love this place. Aug 04 15:11:12 lol Aug 04 15:11:14 hahaha Aug 04 15:11:39 no worries, i should throw a redmine or something at it so i can track known issues/etc, and better utilize these kinds of things Aug 04 15:12:28 Could I recommend putting a "known issue" out there somewhere about the keyboard space? Aug 04 15:12:40 Either in the launcher or the wiki Aug 04 15:14:43 well also there's the issue of how big to make the x server w.r.t. changing keyboard sizes Aug 04 15:16:06 This is an OUTrage!...no adhoc?...no adhoc?! Aug 04 15:16:26 I'm actually kidding...it's not an outrage at all...but it is mildly upsetting. Aug 04 15:17:15 * AtomicPlayboy read that in BRIAN BLESSED's voice. Aug 04 15:17:49 * RavenII googles Brian Blessed Aug 04 15:18:25 Nono it's BRIAN BLESSED. The CAPS are important. Aug 04 15:18:41 Sorry... Aug 04 15:18:59 * RavenII googles BRIAN BLESSED Aug 04 15:23:46 I get this adhoc network finally setup...and no adhoc... Aug 04 15:24:01 That blows Aug 04 15:24:35 Yeah...worse when I saw my android tablet connect to it... Aug 04 15:25:22 I'm probably doing something wrong, but since about 2005 I have yet to set up an ad-hoc wifi network that WORKS on today's technology. Aug 04 15:25:27 silly adhoc Aug 04 15:26:07 And the only reason it worked back in 2005 was because one laptop was set up as an access point that the others connected to Aug 04 15:27:05 And (totally off-topic) the electricity was being provided by an old farm equipment steam engine. Aug 04 15:27:54 what's up? Aug 04 15:28:13 This is the first and only time I've gotten internet sharing to work...on adhoc no less...and the Pre can't connect to it... Aug 04 15:28:14 Backyard LAN party in 2005 Aug 04 15:28:43 yeah, I sorta havent used adhoc in ages, ever since intel released the 5xxx wireless cards that can do infra sharing Aug 04 15:29:56 mesh ftw Aug 04 15:30:29 Now I have to figure out how else to ssh into my pre... Aug 04 15:30:36 ssh won't work over 3g right? Aug 04 15:30:53 You have to use a different port Aug 04 15:31:02 2222 is generally the de-facto non-default Aug 04 15:32:26 Or 2022 Aug 04 15:33:18 Gotcha Aug 04 15:46:51 I really wonder why my copy and paste is broken...so no one else has an issue where when you hit shift...and tap on the screen...you see a 4 arrow cursor appear in the top left of the screen (on a website) Aug 04 16:07:26 guess not....the cheese stands alone. Aug 04 16:08:03 try doctoring? Aug 04 16:09:55 I don't want to restore all my apps, settings, tweaks, etc... Aug 04 16:10:16 backup only seems to back up certain things. Aug 04 16:10:41 not to mention I have 8 gigs of stuff on the phone which would take me 4 hours to put back on it... Aug 04 16:12:24 It'd be cool if there was a nandroid for webos...like a...nandebos... Aug 04 16:12:26 yeah. Aug 04 16:12:51 and a non /internal destructive way of doctoring... Aug 04 16:13:40 Does doctoring affect /media/internal? I didn't lose anything when I meta-doctor'd. Aug 04 16:16:40 it normally doesn't wipe my media/internal Aug 04 16:17:03 I doctored about 10 times one day, got the ROM error many times, and the usb was still in tact Aug 04 16:20:06 brb Aug 04 16:37:06 dtzWill: Is it possible to manually set the Xserver size post-install? I personally will never use the on-screen keyboard. Aug 04 16:37:12 I have the bluetooth keyboard. Aug 04 16:37:55 Addendum, I will probably never use the on-screen keyboard for Xserver. Aug 04 17:11:30 PuffTheMagic: ping? Aug 04 17:12:21 y? Aug 04 17:12:24 e? Aug 04 17:12:25 PatrickC: did you do custom partitions? Aug 04 17:12:28 s? Aug 04 17:12:35 RavenII: not yet Aug 04 17:12:45 ... so... I've doctor'd my pre2, but I'm still getting white-screen-o-death, luna manager restarting all the time, or the phone just going off into space and not coming back... Aug 04 17:12:49 PuffTheMagic: I ran those commands, still didn't let me run make prepare Aug 04 17:13:12 Is there anything else I can try that might help, or should I just start arguing with support about getting the hardware replaced? Aug 04 17:13:12 PatrickC: I think that's why you don't have issues with /media/internal being destroyed...when you do the partitioning it destroys it....I think Aug 04 17:13:41 RavenII: could be.. Aug 04 17:14:16 PuffTheMagic: Is there a problem with wIRC in which after scrolling back and scrolling to the bottom, it no longer autoscrolls? Aug 04 17:14:29 I have that problem too Aug 04 17:15:19 sounds liek you are telling me there is a problem Aug 04 17:15:25 better talk to oil about that Aug 04 17:16:28 oil! wIRC has a buuuuug Aug 04 17:16:45 *all* apps have bugs Aug 04 17:16:46 SHOCKER Aug 04 17:16:47 PuffTheMagic: Ok!! blaming oil ... :D Aug 04 17:17:16 Who's throwing the shocker? Aug 04 17:17:18 Oh. Aug 04 17:17:20 NuttyBunny_Pre2: PatrickC I can only keep up on so many projects at a time while working on a phd at the same time Aug 04 17:17:42 PuffTheMagic: and Tide ;) Aug 04 17:18:10 isn't it called TIDE? Aug 04 17:18:30 even these guys had bugs: http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/06/writestuff.html Aug 04 17:19:16 No way, an app with BUGS? Aug 04 17:20:53 I think this is wIRC's first bug.. right? Aug 04 17:20:59 wIRC never has any bugs Aug 04 17:21:28 Hm, I never noticed that Aug 04 17:21:30 I'll have to try it now Aug 04 17:34:39 RavenII: by default, you can't ssh into the phone, but you could change it to allow that Aug 04 17:39:05 dwc-: yeah, I've followed the wiki, but still getting errors connecting...timeouts and such Aug 04 17:41:20 just removed the "-i eth0" part? Aug 04 17:43:10 dwc-: yeah, and changed the port to 222 and tried 2222 Aug 04 17:43:19 thinking maybe Sprint is blocking Aug 04 17:43:41 uh-oh Aug 04 17:43:53 ...hmm? Aug 04 17:43:54 has sprint decided to be like verizon and block ports? Aug 04 17:44:20 Who knows...I'll keep trying. Aug 04 17:49:41 Hey all. Any wifi experts in here? Aug 04 17:49:59 I'm troubleshooting connection issues with a touchpad and enterprise WPA2 network Aug 04 17:50:14 I have the connection working from wpa_supplicant, but the OS thinks I'm not connected Aug 04 18:01:01 RavenII: just double checking, you're matching the iptables ports with the sshd -p port? Aug 04 18:02:01 dwc-: ? Aug 04 18:02:11 (someone just facepalmed... Aug 04 18:02:12 ) Aug 04 18:10:55 I'm looking for a way to fool the touchpad wifi interface into thinking it has wifi Aug 04 18:11:49 you mean like reverse tethering? Aug 04 18:13:44 dwc-: thanks...I see what you meant...it's working now. Aug 04 18:14:20 well Aug 04 18:14:28 it has a connection, the gui just doesn't know it Aug 04 18:14:45 RavenII: cool, glad you've got it working Aug 04 18:15:18 basically, the wifi app doesn't let me connect to my enterprise network, so I had to configure the backend to allow it to connect Aug 04 18:15:32 now it connects and has an IP, but the touchpad has no clue Aug 04 18:15:46 well as soon as node gets installed on the autobuilder tide will build Aug 04 18:18:02 davegarbs: ah, I see Aug 04 18:18:51 it's pretty interesting, because i can load websites and such now, if i can deal with the no connection errors Aug 04 18:19:08 I just need to find a way to let the OS know that it's connected Aug 04 18:24:50 Hello Aug 04 18:25:04 Could someone upload be a few files from Pre/Pre+ rootfs? Aug 04 18:25:21 I need Marvell's firwamre files for uAP Aug 04 18:25:27 8686 chip Aug 04 18:25:59 I do not own Pre, but I find references to firmware on that device. Aug 04 18:37:54 you can pull it yourself from the doctor Aug 04 18:38:27 I think that would probably be more kosher than an end-user redistributing parts of it Aug 04 18:42:43 AtomicPlayboy: other things have my time atm, but if, when you see the next xserver update flurry, you don't have the ability to cotnrol the virtual keyboard to your satisfaction ping me please :) Aug 04 18:42:58 in other words, i think i'm working on it, lmk if that doesn't work for you Aug 04 18:43:06 atm you cannot specify the xserver size via command line, no Aug 04 18:45:45 davegarbs, what what would happen if you installed freetether and turned on wifi tethering?? Aug 04 18:45:56 nm i dont think that will work Aug 04 18:46:06 not sure it's even touchpad compatible since i have no 3g radio Aug 04 18:46:31 well your wifi is already being used anyway Aug 04 18:47:14 yeah Aug 04 18:47:33 i was hoping there was a file i could touch or write to that would make the touchpad think it was connected Aug 04 18:47:44 try it with usb and see what happenes Aug 04 18:47:47 i'm trying to get HP to fix this issue so i can connect normally, but who knows how that will pan out Aug 04 18:49:28 PuffTheMagic, might have some ideas.. he messed a lot with the networking Aug 04 18:50:12 what did I miss? Aug 04 18:50:32 dwc-: more details about 'doctor'? Aug 04 18:50:38 some wifi goodness Aug 04 18:53:13 basically, I have an IP via wifi, but the touchpad has no clue :) Aug 04 18:54:44 as a result, all my apps like to warn me that i have no connection Aug 04 18:54:56 PuffTheMagic, he wants to touch a file or two to force the touchpad to think its online because it is Aug 04 18:55:41 the email app won't even try to fetch mail :( Aug 04 18:56:32 * Jack87 is contemplating buying TP accessories Aug 04 18:56:59 $160 for Case/Keyboard/Touchstone, free next day shipping Aug 04 18:57:32 How to extract webos doctor? Aug 04 18:59:02 ugh, must be able to turn off emoticons in SpazHD. Aug 04 18:59:02 davidlt: 7zip is what I use Aug 04 18:59:15 davidlt: http://www.palm.com/rom or http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Webos_Doctor_Versions Aug 04 18:59:26 dwc-: already downloaded :) Aug 04 19:00:03 well, unpack the jar files and .tar.gz files Aug 04 19:00:07 there's a rootfs in there Aug 04 19:00:52 where at jack? Aug 04 19:01:43 davegarbs, HP academy with promocode (i dont know if you actually have to be logged into HP academy) SAVE30HP Aug 04 19:01:51 ahh Aug 04 19:01:52 but you do have to have all three added to your card Aug 04 19:02:13 that's semi tempting, but not sure if i want the keyboard Aug 04 19:03:29 ya Aug 04 19:03:40 I think it has to be 150 of webos stuff for the discount Aug 04 19:04:06 because i got it to work without the case but with the Veer USB cord instead Aug 04 19:08:40 davegarbs, you do need to be logged into HP academy which it only takes a .edu email addy Aug 04 19:10:09 I think i'll hold off to see how HP handles this wifi issue Aug 04 19:10:18 no need for accessories if i'm not going to keep the device Aug 04 19:28:36 Is it possible to get kerne sources of WebOS? Aug 04 19:30:02 davidlt: opensource.palm.com Aug 04 19:31:40 NuttyBunny_Pixi: thanks Aug 04 19:39:26 dtzWill: Cool. Aug 04 19:55:44 Hi, I'd like to alpha-test linphone Aug 04 19:59:11 siestacat: you'll have to talk to rwhitby, but it's night in Australia Aug 04 20:02:39 rwhitby is a developer of linphone? Aug 04 20:02:57 I believe hes the one in charge (I think?) Aug 04 20:04:03 I think linphone is a great idea, and would love to report bugs and the like Aug 04 20:04:16 True VOIP. Aug 04 20:16:08 what linux kernel does webos run? Aug 04 20:17:28 PatrickC, wich version? Aug 04 20:17:44 2.0? 2.1? 3.0? Aug 04 20:17:46 I mean which distro is webOS Build off? Aug 04 20:17:51 HPTouchPad 2.6.35-palm-tenderloin #1 SMP PREEMPT 129.2.22 armv7l GNU/Linux Aug 04 20:18:37 thanks Aug 04 20:19:17 PatrickC, see the Commercial section here http://www.openembedded.org/index.php/Success_stories Aug 04 20:21:50 Anyone unofficially running above 1.4.5.1 on the Pixi Plus? Aug 04 20:28:00 there are some people running it.. Aug 04 20:28:29 Anyone I can speak to? Aug 04 20:28:36 1.4.5.1 is being a pain... Aug 04 20:34:33 is there anyone that knows how to remove the "raindrop" animation when you tap on anything (webos 3) Aug 04 20:40:58 davegarbs: the reticile? and yeah it can be removed via patches in preware Aug 04 20:41:13 pretty sure patches for that exist on most if not all devices/versions Aug 04 20:41:28 Hmm, my pixi is no longer recognized via webOS quick install . Aug 04 20:41:30 besides visual preference, it also slows things down quite a bit in games... Aug 04 20:43:40 thanks dtzWill, I'll just leave it then Aug 04 20:44:01 or did you mean the reticle slows down games? Aug 04 20:44:10 the reticle slows down games Aug 04 20:44:20 which is the primary reason for the patch, but i suppose some people might just not like it visually Aug 04 20:44:30 (i like it well enough, it's nice to see where it /thinks/ you clicked, etc) Aug 04 20:44:32 i don't see a patch for the touchpad Aug 04 20:44:58 but the animation, especially when tapped repeatedly quickly, does _not_ work well with games Aug 04 20:45:00 uhhh Aug 04 20:45:01 hrmm Aug 04 20:45:32 wonder if i can do it from the cli Aug 04 20:47:22 davegarbs: https://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=15776 is related, but with no solution. Aug 04 20:47:32 sorry, other devices there are patches to disable :/ Aug 04 20:48:05 i'm going to download the patch file from an older release and see if i can find a way Aug 04 20:48:44 from the bottom post Aug 04 20:48:49 EDIT: As it turns out it was incredibly easy to disable entirely via a patch. I've submitted it to Preware. Won't solve the real problem but it should make your own experience better. Aug 04 20:49:26 -ShowReticle=true Aug 04 20:49:26 +ShowReticle=false Aug 04 20:49:32 looks simple lol Aug 04 20:49:44 webos has shell? right? Aug 04 20:49:53 I'm using novacom and have a terminal Aug 04 20:50:03 Anyone using Pageplus with your device? Aug 04 20:50:38 I'm wondering as I'm going to write a shell script, and need to make sure webOS supports shell Aug 04 20:50:42 I think it does Aug 04 20:50:45 dtzWill: thanks for you help, I think I've got it - restarting luna now Aug 04 20:50:45 just making sure Aug 04 20:50:45 it does Aug 04 20:50:50 you can install bash as well if you want Aug 04 20:50:56 ok cool Aug 04 20:50:56 davegarbs: oh yeah that was the patch as of the earlier versions, i'd assumed if that worked it'd already be in preware Aug 04 20:50:58 thx Aug 04 20:51:05 maybe less important since tp is much faster and so suffers less Aug 04 20:51:11 good call :( Aug 04 20:51:13 "important" as in need-driven development Aug 04 20:51:18 its weird because the variable is still in luna.conf Aug 04 20:51:28 oh, did it not work? :( Aug 04 20:51:32 that _is_ weird. Aug 04 20:51:39 i just did a luna restart Aug 04 20:51:42 maybe I should reboot?

Aug 04 20:56:55 you already showed me that? Aug 04 20:57:40 what the F*** Aug 04 20:57:58 my client went nuts and crashed Aug 04 20:58:21 if anyone cares how it's done: http://pastebin.com/5QCEYFPM Aug 04 20:58:26 yeah, we saw.. :) Aug 04 21:00:05 wow Aug 04 21:00:11 now.. to figure out /how/ to build a shell script... Aug 04 21:00:18 i dont even know what the hell that was Aug 04 21:00:46 shell scripting is easy Aug 04 21:00:51 what are you trying to accomplish Aug 04 21:01:09 just trying to do what palm-generate palm-package do Aug 04 21:01:19 going to add it to TIDE Aug 04 21:01:41 Just install the sdk in a chroot like me :) Aug 04 21:01:54 not familiar with those sadly, just got my t ouchpad a couple days ago and is my first webos device Aug 04 21:02:06 but I want to include it inside Tide ;) Aug 04 21:02:38 PatrickC, i work on tide with tide and compile all on device Aug 04 21:02:46 git/sdk in chroot Aug 04 21:02:56 mounted /media/internal Aug 04 21:02:59 does Tide need the chroot? Aug 04 21:03:12 davegarbs: great! :) Aug 04 21:03:37 PatrickC, nope Aug 04 21:03:50 siestacat, i think NuttyBunny_ was running it on his pixi. but it said it was way too slow to function as a phone Aug 04 21:03:55 is that a patch already? if not pretty please submit it to http://patches.webos-internals.org/ Aug 04 21:04:00 davegarbs: ^^^^^ :) Aug 04 21:04:05 I only need to generate an appinfo.json (pre filled out, to some extent), depends.js (empty file) index.html (pre filled out), and source folder (empty folder) Aug 04 21:04:06 yeah its called Remove Tap Ripple Aug 04 21:04:24 great Aug 04 21:18:12 still having a fun time with this wifi issues though Aug 04 21:18:16 hp support is slowww Aug 04 21:21:20 davegarbs, we should get them to add a seecret word like TIDEPENGUINS and when you say that they transfer you to tire3/engineering support Aug 04 21:21:49 I emailed palm level 3 support with some logs :D Aug 04 21:21:54 no response yet though Aug 04 21:22:00 scoutcamper: oblig: http://xkcd.com/806/ Aug 04 21:22:02 Heh. My wifi is fine... Aug 04 21:22:13 mine is at home, but i cant connect to my work wifi Aug 04 21:22:23 ... although it didnt' work at all until I dropped down to 802.11b instead of 802.11n Aug 04 21:22:29 (with WPA2) Aug 04 21:22:34 dtzWill, YES! someone got the reference!!!!!!!!!! Aug 04 21:22:35 and because HP decided to include zero options for enterprise networks, i had to do it myself in a config file Aug 04 21:22:51 davegarbs - at least you can... Aug 04 21:22:55 here's the thing though Aug 04 21:23:03 the gui has no idea that I'm connected Aug 04 21:23:07 scoutcamper: it's xkcd, everyone should get the reference ;) Aug 04 21:23:15 i can't get on wifi using the wireless app Aug 04 21:23:37 Heh. Aug 04 21:23:40 i have to run a few scripts on the CLI and grab an IP w ith dhclient, but luna has no clue that I'm connected to a hotspot Aug 04 21:23:45 dtzWill, you would be suprised at the ammount of people who have never heard of xkcd Aug 04 21:23:46 so i get all kinds of fun warnings and such Aug 04 21:23:57 * dwc- doesn't read xkcd regularly. only when someone links it. Aug 04 21:24:21 davegarbs - I'll settle for luna not restarting all the time, and random apps not giving me the white screen of doom Aug 04 21:24:38 lol pre owner? Aug 04 21:24:43 pre2 Aug 04 21:24:54 touchpad seems good so far Aug 04 21:24:57 no random restarts Aug 04 21:24:58 ... and if I knew of a way to check the memory/flash on the thing, I'd try that, too Aug 04 21:25:02 my gf's pre plus is crap though Aug 04 21:25:07 what? yours does all that? mine never does that! Aug 04 21:25:09 Aug 04 21:25:28 dwc- Last time I asked about such things, people claimed theirs were stable Aug 04 21:25:28 im still a webos skeptic Aug 04 21:25:33 I hope HP fixes these things Aug 04 21:25:55 just last night, the phone was frozen because of a runaway uploadd Aug 04 21:26:01 I want to like webos ... but the implementation on my phone frustrates me. Aug 04 21:26:36 yeah, can't say I blame you Aug 04 21:26:39 coming from an iphone, I Aug 04 21:26:43 ... or the phone hardware does... not sure which Aug 04 21:26:48 I would never be able to tolerate instability like that Aug 04 21:27:08 say what you will about apple/iphones but they are pretty solid and reliable Aug 04 21:27:08 webos/pre2 hasn't annoyed me enough to make me go back to my motorola razr v3 yet Aug 04 21:27:20 I don't really have an option about tolerating it Aug 04 21:27:24 I have 2 pre2's, another works like a charm, luna crashed maybe once, then the second one has problems all the time, doctoring only helps for a day or two Aug 04 21:27:34 sconix - hmm... Aug 04 21:27:35 my guess is the flash is bit bad on the second one Aug 04 21:27:36 thats odd Aug 04 21:27:42 or something Aug 04 21:27:44 Yeah, that's what I'm thinking about mine Aug 04 21:27:51 still in warranty, no? Aug 04 21:27:56 no Aug 04 21:27:56 If It was a laptop, I'd be testing the memory Aug 04 21:28:05 how long has the pre2 been out? Aug 04 21:28:07 ... and the disk Aug 04 21:28:27 there's probably a way to boot memtest Aug 04 21:28:27 (especially since certain apps seem particularly prone to issues) Aug 04 21:28:38 but it's probably not straight-forward Aug 04 21:29:22 all the rest my webOS devices works like a charm if you don't count the recent palm profile problem I got in my main pre2 device, it can not sign in to any palm profile :) Aug 04 21:29:32 trying to solve it with the support but no luck so far Aug 04 21:29:36 starting to be bit annoying Aug 04 21:30:15 sconix - I ran into something like that... doctoring sorted it out Aug 04 21:30:20 well for me not Aug 04 21:30:28 doctoring or even creating new profile wont help Aug 04 21:30:32 Nice. Aug 04 21:30:45 it just can not sigh in to the profile nor use the backup Aug 04 21:30:50 -nod- Aug 04 21:30:54 it works on the other pre2 so its really weird problem Aug 04 21:31:12 its like the palm profile serves has banned my device :) Aug 04 21:31:22 serves=server Aug 04 21:31:48 where is bash located on webos? Aug 04 21:31:59 its not by default Aug 04 21:32:08 has anyone tried to see if data can be transfered via touchstone to PC? Aug 04 21:32:14 well never had a real problem from the very first pre- I bought so this is fine for being the first real problem but would still want to get it fixed rather soon Aug 04 21:32:21 halfhalo-work: must be installed? Aug 04 21:32:47 davegarbs, pre2 i think came out before christmas.. maybe in october or november of last year Aug 04 21:32:48 Jack87 - no, it can't. Aug 04 21:32:57 bash needs to be installed by optware or other means. busybox/sh is installed by default Aug 04 21:33:19 ok.. just installed bash.. my script still won't work.. Aug 04 21:33:20 hmm Aug 04 21:33:34 what's the first line of your script Aug 04 21:33:38 and how are you calling it Aug 04 21:33:47 #!/bin/sh Aug 04 21:33:47 cat-xeger, you tried with no luck? Aug 04 21:33:48 sconix - wasn't there something about only one device<->profile match permitted? Aug 04 21:33:57 Jack87 - yes. Aug 04 21:33:59 I suspect /bin/sh still points to busybox Aug 04 21:34:09 and I'm trying to call it by running 'hello.sh' and './hello.sh' Aug 04 21:34:11 dwc-: it does Aug 04 21:34:17 cat-xeger: yes sure, have only tried them separately just to verify that the problem is really the device and not the profile etc Aug 04 21:34:28 Ah, okay. Aug 04 21:34:28 chmod 700 script.sh Aug 04 21:34:31 I think i read somewhere once that they were going to at some point? maybe im mistaken. but it sorta makes sense with the new touch stone technology (hence touch to share) Aug 04 21:34:32 change the first line or bash hello.sh with a hammer Aug 04 21:35:09 or, make it portable to other devices that don't have bash and take out the bashisms Aug 04 21:35:13 to clear it up... i am talking about touchpad touchstone :) Aug 04 21:35:35 not phone touchstone Aug 04 21:35:37 davegarbs: didn't work Aug 04 21:36:07 dwc-: I'm trying to write a simple shell/bash script Aug 04 21:37:19 sconix - it's one of those things, like having a physical button for the wifi that I like to check Aug 04 21:37:37 .. basically being in the "boy, that's obvious now" category Aug 04 21:37:44 Jack87 - no idea then. Aug 04 21:38:01 what is the error PatrickC Aug 04 21:38:19 sh: ./hello.sh: not found Aug 04 21:38:31 sh: hello.sh: not found Aug 04 21:38:44 thats usually because the shebang is wrong Aug 04 21:38:53 head -1 hello.sh Aug 04 21:39:22 it shows it as Aug 04 21:39:29 /bin/sh Aug 04 21:39:42 #!/bin/sh ... Aug 04 21:39:43 do you have the #! in front? Aug 04 21:39:54 ... but that should just give 'Bad Interpreter' Aug 04 21:40:13 yes.. sorry Aug 04 21:40:16 ... if it just shows /bin/sh, the shell will try to run that, and you probably won't get anywhere Aug 04 21:40:18 #!/bin/sh Aug 04 21:40:21 mine gave that error earlier when i had #!/bin/bash instead of #!/bin/sh and didnt have bash installed Aug 04 21:41:03 lemme try #!/bin/bash Aug 04 21:41:12 that should work as long as you have bash installed Aug 04 21:41:17 although sh works for me Aug 04 21:41:50 I installed bash Aug 04 21:43:13 I just changed it from #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash and it still didn't work... Aug 04 21:43:17 hmm.. Aug 04 21:43:25 type which bash Aug 04 21:43:33 huh? Aug 04 21:43:37 'which bash' Aug 04 21:43:43 it's a command Aug 04 21:44:18 /opt/bin/bash Aug 04 21:44:31 well there ya go Aug 04 21:44:36 change the path in the top line to that Aug 04 21:45:59 nope Aug 04 21:46:01 didn't work Aug 04 21:46:29 bash hello.sh Aug 04 21:47:04 that worked Aug 04 21:47:48 then, following along with davegarbs Aug 04 21:47:51 chmod +x hello.sh Aug 04 21:48:33 yeah, I guess he doesn't own it or something Aug 04 21:48:41 he wrote it Aug 04 21:48:43 do ls -la hello.sh Aug 04 21:48:54 and then whoami Aug 04 21:49:19 i know, but if he was the owner, chmod 700 should have worked Aug 04 21:49:29 the chmod +x hello.sh worked Aug 04 21:49:48 whoami said root Aug 04 21:50:03 now does it work? Aug 04 21:50:15 yes Aug 04 21:50:17 very odd indeed Aug 04 21:50:21 after I chmod'd it Aug 04 21:50:21 what does ls -la say? Aug 04 21:50:42 -rwx--x--x 1 root root Aug 04 21:50:55 then i stand by my chmod 700 :P Aug 04 21:51:14 Yeah... shell needs to read in order to execute, I think Aug 04 21:51:54 yeah thats a nix thing Aug 04 21:52:01 to execute, you need read privs as well Aug 04 21:52:08 only for scripts Aug 04 21:52:08 s'why I know that. Aug 04 21:52:10 and to traverse a directory, you need x on that dir Aug 04 21:52:15 Yeah, that. Aug 04 21:52:43 anyways, 700 would mean nobody else can use it, which is why I suggested +x Aug 04 21:52:59 yeah Aug 04 21:53:15 u+x if you want to get utterly fussy :) Aug 04 21:53:36 nah. no point in ending up with rwxr--r-- Aug 04 21:53:45 and rwx--x--x doesn't hurt anything Aug 04 21:53:59 Hm? u+x should just add the +x for user Aug 04 21:54:02 (for a shell script, as he said it was) Aug 04 21:54:13 yea, but if it was rw-r--r-- it'd end up rwx-r--r-- Aug 04 21:54:19 which wouldn't help any non-owners Aug 04 21:54:26 Sure... Aug 04 21:54:40 ... I suspect we're agreeing wholeheartedly in great confusion Aug 04 21:55:15 I think so. I'm explaining my logic for making it executable for all Aug 04 21:55:49 I'd rather be explicit :) Aug 04 21:56:06 ... so set it as 755, or 700 ... but 711 is just weird Aug 04 21:56:26 lol yeah Aug 04 21:56:39 711 won't do anything for anyone :( Aug 04 21:56:43 except the owner Aug 04 21:56:52 Well -- it'll confuse others... Aug 04 21:57:05 i love confusion Aug 04 21:57:11 at the expense of this discussion, I was saving one roundtrip time to PatrickC figuring out which it should be :P Aug 04 21:57:27 lol Aug 04 21:57:29 thanks :) Aug 04 21:57:46 Bah! Aug 04 21:57:49 We were having fun contusing Aug 04 21:58:10 Ah well... we'll see if the replacement pre2 has the same problems when it arrives Aug 04 22:24:03 anybody have try it to connect via SSH on the pixiplus? Aug 04 22:24:04 who has a veer here and knows how to memboot? Aug 04 22:24:24 * halfhalo-work may or may not have one laying around here Aug 04 22:29:38 membooting would be so much easier if my vm would stop trying to hijack the usb connection. Aug 04 22:38:00 halfhalo-work: the problem is that there are 2 different "devices", the recovery mode is one and the running phone is another :) Aug 04 22:38:08 I just added both to virtualbox Aug 04 22:38:19 but better yet, I don't use the VM and work directly on linux Aug 04 22:48:27 loonyshuttle: no pixi+ here, but the setup should be the same either way Aug 04 23:02:51 memboot for 1ghz veer here https://www.box.net/shared/p1xlf6jdyu5mx7dz63nu Aug 04 23:10:06 woo for 1GHz! Aug 04 23:11:46 jhoweb_: with that kernel is it locked to 1GHz or should it be scaling? Aug 04 23:12:00 it scales Aug 04 23:12:06 at least for me Aug 04 23:12:17 ive been getting reports that PDK apps break but they work for me Aug 04 23:12:27 hmm. mine is not. Aug 04 23:12:29 at least Ancient Frog LE does just fine Aug 04 23:13:16 if -db8 does not work for you. try this one instead https://www.box.net/shared/j3mkq2hk33quu7z433a1 Aug 04 23:13:38 wait, its scaling Aug 04 23:14:14 high load was causing it to not scale down before, then when i switched it to userspace i tapped 1GHz instead of 768MHz. Aug 04 23:15:18 * scoutcamper wonders when he can get a 2ghz TP kernel Aug 04 23:16:27 * halfhalo-work waits to see an example of a higher voltage TP kernel and then he will start messing around again. His TP does not want to run at 1.8GHz Aug 04 23:16:56 mine neither Aug 04 23:17:03 it freaks out after 1.7 Aug 04 23:17:22 halfhalo-work, i want unixpsycos 2ghz kernel Aug 04 23:17:33 thats nice Aug 04 23:17:41 cuz im to lazy to build my own :) Aug 04 23:17:57 * halfhalo-work just wants to see how/if he is doing higher voltages. Aug 04 23:20:49 me too since the tp doesnt really want to do more than 1.25 Aug 05 00:48:20 Hi... does anyone know if it is possible(maybe using impostah) to change the profile in use on a pre without redoctoring the whole thing? Aug 05 01:02:56 supg guys, atm i'm an/was a happy android user (not looking to start a platform flame war) and i just started with some hacking on android, this is where i got pissed by andoird (all binaries static linked, apps cant runs as root directly, because they're forked by an android process). so looked at the webos JDK and it seems fine so far, busybox is preinstalled and it seems "open" so far. now if someone could answer me a few quest Aug 05 01:02:56 ions: can i compile for example the gnu coreutils without problems on webos? can i write apps that run DIRECTLY as root, without having to spawn child processes on /bin/sh , running su and then passing the commands (which is what you need to do on android)? and the last question does the dev mode really give you full access to the device Aug 05 01:03:47 if someone could point me to a not-fanboy-ish review about hacking on webOS or/and answer a few questions, that would be great Aug 05 01:16:47 I am having issue finding VisulaBoyAdvanced in preware on webos 2.1 Aug 05 01:17:16 wasn't it in the catalog? Aug 05 01:17:37 I also dont see any of the kernels Aug 05 01:18:12 other then the palm kernel Aug 05 01:18:59 webos-internals and webos-kernels feeds are both on Aug 05 01:21:01 lawl0r: all of optware is available on webos with homebrewing. Aug 05 01:21:15 start with the webos internals wiki Aug 05 01:21:23 url in channel title Aug 05 01:21:39 reading it right now Aug 05 01:22:02 just one question left: is there an easy way to run a normal app as root? Aug 05 01:22:24 because i'm so going to buy a pre an start hacking if that's possible Aug 05 01:25:31 lawl0r: Preware runs a service as root. Optware command line apps all run as root. Aug 05 01:25:31 aw man, fuck this, i'm going to buy a palm pre now, i'm pissed off from android Aug 05 01:25:45 lawl0r: You can install a Ubuntu 11.04 chroot Aug 05 01:26:10 lawl0r: to get root on the device you turn on developer using Palm's instructions and access the device using Palm's tools. Aug 05 01:26:21 to install the homebrew app installer, you use the official SDK. Aug 05 01:26:29 lawl0r: Congratulations on your choice :) Aug 05 01:26:56 rwatkins nah, the thing is, i can run stuff as root to now. but the question is, is there a way to, say create a app which is owned by root and has the SUID flag set Aug 05 01:27:04 the instructions for installing the homebrew app installer, patches and overclocking kernels is in a documentation app in the official app catalog, and was featured in this month's HP Pivot Magazine Aug 05 01:27:38 because what i'm developing now is an app to basically share a LUKS encrypted filesystem via USB mass storage Aug 05 01:28:22 So you want a C or Node.js service running as root and controlled by a Javascript UI for that. Aug 05 01:28:56 that would be fine i guess Aug 05 01:28:57 the front-end apps themselves don't run as root, for good reasons. Aug 05 01:29:17 atm i have to remote vontrol a /bin/sh session which sucks ;-) Aug 05 01:29:18 nothing in the official app catalog runs as root either. Aug 05 01:29:59 rwhitby that's fine but no way to fire a dialog "app X requests root?" Aug 05 01:30:01 dtzWill: I see vba in the armv7 feed but I dont see it showing up on my pre 2 running 2.1. any ideas about this? Aug 05 01:30:22 lawl0r: that's not part of the architecture Aug 05 01:30:30 because of you want to share for example a device from /dev via UMS you NEED root Aug 05 01:30:45 dtzWill: should it also show up in the all feed? Aug 05 01:30:51 and there is just no way to do this without some really ugly hacks, which sucks Aug 05 01:32:04 but oh well, i'll just buy a pre now and start hacking, these thingies are so cheap now, i just have to try it myself Aug 05 01:32:12 thanks anyways guys :) Aug 05 01:33:22 lawl0r: look at the Hello! app on git.webos-internals.org - it has examples of C and node.js services running as root Aug 05 01:44:33 rwhitby: any reason why only some of the packages from the armv7 feed are showing up in my preware specifically VisualBoyAdvance and the Uberkernel? Aug 05 01:46:21 elpollodiablo1: I had that issue before Aug 05 01:46:25 dunno if it fixed itself Aug 05 01:46:37 or what... Haven't really been bothered by it Aug 05 01:46:57 hmm that is strange Aug 05 01:47:22 elpollodiablo1: what device? Aug 05 01:48:15 pre 2 running 2.1 Aug 05 01:49:07 lemme see if its doing that here Aug 05 01:49:54 I don't see VisualBoyAdvance either Aug 05 01:50:07 but I do see Uberkernel Aug 05 01:50:13 you have the testing feeds? Aug 05 01:50:34 yes I added those as well Aug 05 01:50:47 weird Aug 05 01:50:56 well, VisualBoyAdvance isn't just you Aug 05 01:51:10 but I still see Uberkernel, so that could be localized Aug 05 01:51:16 I only get the palm kernel for pre 2 Aug 05 01:51:32 ah yeah that could be why you see it Aug 05 01:51:44 why? Aug 05 01:53:06 you have it installed Aug 05 01:53:19 I might have read you comment wrong Aug 05 01:55:16 I don't have UK installed Aug 05 01:55:23 I have F104 iirc Aug 05 01:58:19 yeah I read wrong Aug 05 01:58:41 well I installed VBA by going straight to the url of it Aug 05 01:59:19 but I dont think that is an acceptable long term solution Aug 05 02:49:28 I get an invalid request when pulling up the meta-doctor git source code **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Aug 05 02:59:56 2011
