**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Jan 05 02:59:57 2012 Jan 05 03:51:27 my touchpad has a libfreetype.so, and it's listed in the allowed libs at https://developer.palm.com/content/api/dev-guide/pdk/linking.html#, but the PDK doesn't appear to provide the appropriate headers/libs. am i missing something? Jan 05 04:31:27 maybe it assumes youll get the headers from elsewhere? Jan 05 04:34:28 yeah, that's what i wound up doing, but i can't help but think that's a very wrong solution Jan 05 04:39:05 PDK is rather wild-west compared to the other APIs :) Jan 05 05:02:06 compare to CoreGraphics and the other Core* frameworks Jan 05 05:54:04 How do I grab the "enter" key event from an enyo textfield? Jan 05 06:04:25 anyone in here have a device with preware on it? need something checked real quick Jan 05 06:04:39 I have an emulator with it Jan 05 06:04:53 what do u want checked? Jan 05 06:05:08 to see fi an app is in preware on the webosnation feeds Jan 05 06:05:47 if* Jan 05 06:07:11 The app's name is "Project Macaw" Jan 05 06:07:51 does preware have a search thing i don't see? Jan 05 06:08:01 just start typing at the main screen Jan 05 06:08:28 oh, there's a button there to bring up the keyboard Jan 05 06:08:31 didn't see that Jan 05 06:09:44 i do not have that feed and don't know how to add it Jan 05 06:10:11 PatrickC: It doesn't seem to be on preware Jan 05 06:10:31 coolstar-pc, ok. thanks. then they still have to be approved by an admin first :) Jan 05 06:10:41 PatrickC: However, it may be on a real device, as the repos are different. The real device uses the ARM cpu, but the emulator uses i686 Jan 05 06:10:59 i dont think that messes with the precentral feeds. but it might. not sure Jan 05 06:11:41 wait, why is it creating a filesystem Jan 05 06:12:07 why is what creating a filesystem? Jan 05 06:12:25 preware Jan 05 06:12:40 not sure what youre talking about Jan 05 06:12:43 preware just exposes it Jan 05 06:12:47 file manager etc Jan 05 06:12:52 scgtrp: It doesn't create a filesystem as I know Jan 05 06:13:01 it said it was creating a filesystem, not sure what that was about Jan 05 06:13:13 zephjc: If you use the palm sdk, you can ssh in, and there's the access to the fs Jan 05 06:13:14 what were you installing? :) Jan 05 06:13:20 openssh Jan 05 06:13:29 yeah Jan 05 06:13:46 the openssh application creates a certain filesystem by itself Jan 05 06:13:54 preware just shows u what its doing Jan 05 06:14:19 why does it need its own filesystem? Jan 05 06:14:30 since when does openssh create a fs? Jan 05 06:14:46 i thought it did... #webos-internals would be a better place to discuss this Jan 05 06:14:49 * coolstar-pc likes how openssh is available to webos thru preware just like it is available for his iPod thru Cydia Jan 05 06:15:13 but preware is much easier to use then cydia :) Jan 05 06:15:19 and coolstar-pc do u still need to grab the enter key? Jan 05 06:15:26 zephjc: Yes Jan 05 06:16:22 http://forums.webosroundup.com/index.php?forums/project-macaw.65/ :) Jan 05 06:16:38 check out the javascript Event type Jan 05 06:17:26 huh? lol Jan 05 06:17:46 zephjc: I know how to grab the enter key with js on a generic textfield, but I want to know if there's anything special about Enyo's input field. Jan 05 06:17:58 oh, i dont believe so Jan 05 06:18:12 enyo just emits HTML and lets u attach event handlers Jan 05 06:18:13 * coolstar-pc is an experienced html5 dev who is new to webos Jan 05 06:18:37 coolstar-pc, what are u working on? Jan 05 06:18:58 PatrickC: I'm porting my iOS web browser for hp webos Jan 05 06:18:59 * PatrickC is someone whos been around webOS since before 1.4.5 :) been in the dev category for about a year Jan 05 06:19:04 nice! Jan 05 06:19:08 what browser is it? Jan 05 06:19:19 and are u using enyo or mojo? Jan 05 06:19:27 PatrickC: I'm using enyo Jan 05 06:19:36 PatrickC: Mojo seems to lack a toolbar Jan 05 06:19:38 nice. its much easier to work with then mojo imo Jan 05 06:20:03 * PatrickC remembers when Enyo first launched..... Jan 05 06:20:05 Good times... Jan 05 06:20:14 * coolstar-pc wonders how it is possible to have a browser without a toolbar (mojo) Jan 05 06:20:45 look at Universe Jan 05 06:20:58 https://github.com/openmobl/Universe Jan 05 06:22:09 PatrickC: I've also been looking a bit at HP's own web browser for the touchpad (C:\Program Files\HP webOS\SDK\share\applications\enyo\com.palm.app.browser\) Jan 05 06:22:17 html view enyo object + some controls? Jan 05 06:22:29 a good web browser is hard to make :) Jan 05 06:22:48 well the default one could certainly use some improvements Jan 05 06:22:51 it took me a few minutes to throw a simple one together for my app. just needed a webview and a refresh button Jan 05 06:22:58 PatrickC: trying to make yourself feel older? :P Jan 05 06:23:06 zephjc, thats why i have Advanced Browser Jan 05 06:23:13 invalidopcode, haha what do u mean? :P Jan 05 06:23:28 PatrickC: I normally use webkit to make my browsers Jan 05 06:23:43 PatrickC: talking about how long you have been a webos dev :P Jan 05 06:23:43 That's why I'm never gonna be able to port my browser to WP7 anytime soon Jan 05 06:23:52 coolstar-pc, meaning, u dont use webviews? Jan 05 06:24:10 PatrickC: webview = webkit Jan 05 06:24:16 invalidopcode, lol. just saying that was when the good times were :) when the pre+/Pre- were suppose to get 2.1... lol Jan 05 06:24:22 coolstar-pc, lol... Jan 05 06:24:31 * PatrickC knows basic web-dev Jan 05 06:24:42 well, anything major i dont know Jan 05 06:24:47 coolstar-pc: not totally... iirc C# has a webview and its IE based :P Jan 05 06:24:59 i can build a good webpage out of basic HTML/CSS :) Jan 05 06:25:13 and i know some JS (working on making that tons of JS) lol Jan 05 06:25:51 PatrickC: making a good webpage is easy, its making a great one that's really hard :P Jan 05 06:25:56 invalidopcode: That's not webview, its webbrowser Jan 05 06:26:02 invalidopcode, lol Jan 05 06:26:20 coolstar-pc: oh yeah! sorry, my bad Jan 05 06:26:35 invalidopcode: Ever heard of jQuery, ExtJS, and Sencha touch? Jan 05 06:27:09 invalidopcode: yes.... i have Jan 05 06:27:26 *coolstar-pc Jan 05 06:27:39 coolstar-pc, yep Jan 05 06:28:42 but even with those, it still takes some skill to make a really nice webapp of any complexity Jan 05 06:31:06 yeah Jan 05 06:31:44 im helping build this app from an already built and successful app, and its proving difficult to get some things working :) Jan 05 06:33:55 iHow do i have enyo make a textfield with an id so i can call it using document.getElementByID? Jan 05 06:35:43 you can't Jan 05 06:35:46 you can give it a name Jan 05 06:35:53 and call it w/ this.$.name Jan 05 06:36:00 ls -al Jan 05 06:36:06 stupid.. wrong window haha Jan 05 06:36:06 how do I give it a name? Jan 05 06:36:31 lol Jan 05 06:36:36 {kind: enyo.VFlexBox, name: "coolstarBox"} Jan 05 06:36:42 this.$.coolstarBox Jan 05 06:36:48 ok Jan 05 06:38:29 where this.$.coolstarBox is referenced in a function belonging to the same object in which you're making the kind objects Jan 05 06:40:33 are --disable-web-security --enable-file-cookies valid for chromium too? Jan 05 06:41:29 i think so Jan 05 06:41:32 give it a try :) Jan 05 06:41:58 Cool. Got my address bar to work. I'm gonna change it to an omnibar soon. I just want to figure out how to catch the enter key to get rid of that go button I have temporarily Jan 05 06:42:21 yeah, the Go button is the Enter key :) Jan 05 06:42:26 its right there on the screen! :) Jan 05 06:42:51 actually, I have a separate button on the toolbar as a temporary go button Jan 05 06:43:02 but it can be confused with "forward" Jan 05 06:43:53 heh Jan 05 06:44:07 coolstar-pc, i think that Spaz HD does that Jan 05 06:45:37 what's spaz? Jan 05 06:46:01 its a twitter app Jan 05 06:46:02 open source Jan 05 06:47:38 https://github.com/spazproject/Spaz-Enyo Jan 05 06:47:52 zephjc, doesnt seem to be working. they dont come up when i do --help either Jan 05 06:48:06 hmm, sucky Jan 05 06:48:11 i use chrome itself for it Jan 05 06:49:05 scgtrp: the large USB/media partition on webOS does not have ext3 filesystem semantics (e.g. no symlinks). Most Linux tools (like openssh) assume such, so a loopfs installation area is created for them. Jan 05 06:50:13 huh, what fs is it? Jan 05 06:50:39 fat16! Jan 05 06:50:41 lol Jan 05 06:51:08 "You must play from a terminal." << ...? Jan 05 06:51:24 also how do i up arrow in xterm Jan 05 06:55:35 coolstar-pc, https://github.com/spazproject/Spaz-Enyo/blob/master/source/javascript/SearchPopup.js look for "searchBoxKeydown" Jan 05 06:59:30 scgtrp: you can get a patched keyboard that has an up arrow if your going to be using it alot Jan 05 06:59:55 not covering up half of the terminal would also be a nice feature Jan 05 07:00:08 Now how do I hide the keyboard? Jan 05 07:01:03 I mean programmically, and not by pushing the button Jan 05 07:02:04 https://developer.palm.com/content/api/dev-guide/enyo/enyo-keyboard.html Jan 05 07:02:19 lol. I just found out from the spaz source code Jan 05 07:02:28 enyo.keyboard.setManualMode(false); // closes the keyboard Jan 05 07:03:32 scgtrp: i think if you install the tweaks application in preware you can change that too Jan 05 07:04:15 scgtrp: after you get xterm set up nicely it can be really useful Jan 05 07:04:38 anyway. night everyone! Jan 05 07:04:52 "Attempting to physically force the keyboard to rotate to the proper orientation for landscape mode is known to bork a Pre." Jan 05 07:04:55 :D Jan 05 07:07:49 cool. now I can get rid of that ugly go button now that I capture the enter key Jan 05 07:07:55 lol Jan 05 07:08:13 hey coolstar-pc, whenever youre ready, i would love to help beta test the browser :) Jan 05 07:08:44 PatrickC: Sure. You use a touchpad, right? Jan 05 07:09:02 yep. touchpad, pre3, pre2, pre+, pre- :) Jan 05 07:13:24 * PatrickC goes to figure out how to add launch params to his app Jan 05 07:15:13 * coolstar-pc made the omnibar select all text on focus to make entering urls and searches more convenient Jan 05 07:15:58 How do I add an "X" button to a text field like iOS does? Jan 05 07:16:06 hmm.. not sure Jan 05 07:16:12 its a convenient way to clear text from the field in one go Jan 05 07:16:44 coolstar-pc: an X button? like in a search field? Jan 05 07:16:58 yes Jan 05 07:17:33 webkit i think supports input type="search" Jan 05 07:17:41 which does that by itself Jan 05 07:18:06 zephjc: I made an enyo text field and want to add an X button Jan 05 07:18:47 i think you will have to make the Kind yourself Jan 05 07:19:50 and position a styled button with CSS Jan 05 07:21:03 well, i *think* i have launch params working... Jan 05 07:21:12 not 100% sure though :/ Jan 05 07:21:16 dont have a way to test Jan 05 07:21:30 however, it becomes redundant if the user clicks the field and the text selects all on-focus. if the keyboard pops up, clicking Delete does it just like an X would Jan 05 07:22:25 i was just thinking that Jan 05 07:22:35 but im busy working on my app, so i just didnt say anything :) Jan 05 07:22:47 a second click when already focused should just put the carat where clicked Jan 05 07:24:52 "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it." - from The Zen of Python Jan 05 07:26:00 PatrickC: how are you passing launch params? Jan 05 07:26:10 im adding them to my app Jan 05 07:26:45 i mean, switching on platform type? Jan 05 07:26:56 huh? lol Jan 05 07:27:12 what sort of params are you passing? Jan 05 07:27:25 platform is the only thing i can think of that matters Jan 05 07:28:18 cross-launching the app Jan 05 07:28:29 so another app can launch my app and have it do something Jan 05 07:28:37 ahhh ok Jan 05 07:28:53 but it isnt very well documented Jan 05 07:30:02 enyo.windowParams? Jan 05 07:30:44 im looking at http://webos101.com/Multi-Card_Applications Jan 05 07:31:38 mojo Jan 05 07:31:42 o Jan 05 07:31:46 y? Jan 05 07:31:54 its what the app was originally built off of Jan 05 07:31:59 not gonna rebuild the entire app :) Jan 05 07:32:00 ahh ok Jan 05 07:32:05 i didnt build the original app.. Jan 05 07:32:12 makes sense Jan 05 07:32:16 yep Jan 05 07:32:22 something to keep in mind for the future tho! Jan 05 07:32:24 the app is a remake of the Phnx twitter app Jan 05 07:32:55 when i seize control of the webOS OSS project, Mojo will be deprecated Jan 05 07:33:08 which project? Jan 05 07:33:15 all of it Jan 05 07:33:19 hehe Jan 05 07:33:22 this app is massive. like 2mb. it would be a beast to try and redo all of the code Jan 05 07:33:23 haha Jan 05 07:33:45 2MB of source for a twitter app? Jan 05 07:33:58 2.66mb Jan 05 07:34:26 all that damn hand-coded html i imagine Jan 05 07:34:37 not sure. i didnt do much of the HTML Jan 05 07:36:15 http://github.com/minego/phnx Jan 05 07:36:37 programmatically generating the layout is so much nicer, tho its no comparison to using a good GUI builder Jan 05 07:37:15 the app has an amazing UI Jan 05 07:37:32 one of the best imo (and i thought that before i started working on the team :) ) Jan 05 07:38:22 well it looks slick, tho all i see are phone screenshots - any tablet ones anywhere? Jan 05 07:38:58 in our preware feed Jan 05 07:39:01 they are kinda old though Jan 05 07:39:15 best to just install it if u use twitter :) Jan 05 07:39:43 http://minego.net/phnx/phnx_2011-18-11_143442.png http://minego.net/phnx/phnx_2011-18-11_143456.png http://minego.net/phnx/phnx_2011-20-11_194953.png http://minego.net/phnx/phnx_2011-20-11_200328.png Jan 05 07:39:53 those are the older screenshots on the tablets Jan 05 07:40:42 not bad Jan 05 07:40:56 good subtle use of gradients, shading, etc Jan 05 07:40:57 its a lot better now Jan 05 07:41:05 zephjc: awesome to hear you're going to seize control of the open webOS. what's your roadmap? Jan 05 07:41:05 thanks. most of that was already done Jan 05 07:41:35 rwhitby: i shoot from the hip Jan 05 07:43:17 putting URL parsing on the String prototype seems a bit off Jan 05 07:46:54 here's a feature for webOS 4.0: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3426748 Jan 05 07:48:11 guest mode? lol Jan 05 07:48:56 from the lock screen - pick a user Jan 05 07:49:04 its all linux underneath, should be easy Jan 05 07:53:30 * PatrickC is off to bed Jan 05 07:53:31 night all Jan 05 07:56:43 me too, gnite Jan 05 09:14:32 are there any attempts to port webOS to other devices than HP/Palm ones? Jan 05 09:15:20 yes, but you wont see much until the source is released. Jan 05 09:17:10 aha, so it was just announced? :) Jan 05 09:18:05 yeah, on Dec. 9th Jan 05 15:48:44 IMO they should have been ready to release it the same day they announced it, even if that meant waiting, but then im new to the webOS world Jan 05 15:49:55 rwhitby likes to mention some SEC regulation about not being able to act on something that might affect stock prices without informing investors first Jan 05 15:50:10 but also, it's months worth of work to OSS webOS Jan 05 15:50:23 particularly given that some of it is licensed from other companies Jan 05 15:56:02 good morning Jan 05 15:56:46 im curious what is licensed though - maybe media-related components Jan 05 15:57:38 at least media related components, definitely the modem stuff Jan 05 15:58:16 modem stuff? Jan 05 15:58:26 mm walmart is paying netflix, and i get money. cool Jan 05 15:58:45 win! Jan 05 16:01:36 hell yes! Jan 05 16:01:44 thanks for being mean and nasty to each other ;) Jan 05 16:02:20 it'll probably be like $20 or something Jan 05 16:02:26 but i'll take it! Jan 05 16:02:41 hey that's lunch right there Jan 05 16:03:07 yes! and at an unexpected time. b/c i probably won't see the money until like august. Jan 05 16:03:40 Anyone else having issues with Metrix? All my stats seem to be gone Jan 05 16:04:06 metrix was closing Jan 05 16:04:09 no more Jan 05 16:05:07 zephjc: all the code to interacting with phone modems, possibly GPS code, etc. etc. Jan 05 16:05:16 ahh ok Jan 05 16:05:34 haha finally watching Portlandia on netflix "Portland is a place where young people go to retire" Jan 05 16:07:41 fxspec06: I thought they wanted to keep devs who request it? Jan 05 16:12:43 hmm maybe. Jan 05 17:14:20 hah. zephjc the webos world is all about waiting Jan 05 17:22:41 * oilsworkn waits Jan 05 17:23:04 * oilsworkn assumes hp is working hard to get the source ready to be opened Jan 05 17:26:13 i think you should stock up on food then Jan 05 17:26:33 nuclear apocalypse coming? Jan 05 17:26:59 the y2k bunker is still stocked Jan 05 17:31:10 and as far as nuclear apocalypse, im pretty close to hanford, so ill probably be gone pretty quick Jan 05 17:31:34 dig deeper Jan 05 17:31:51 * fxspec06 wonders where the closest twinkie factory is Jan 05 17:32:31 "The Hanford site represents two-thirds of the nation's high-level radioactive waste by volume" according to wikipedia :/ Jan 05 17:33:02 lol Jan 05 17:33:03 awesome Jan 05 17:33:04 yuk Jan 05 17:34:01 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanford_Site Jan 05 17:44:36 oh, wikipedia link killed the chat Jan 05 17:45:56 "You know you're like the A-bomb!

Jan 06 01:40:38 madnificent: you can do so through the webOS Nation Homebrew Gallery Jan 06 01:42:52 rwhitby: thanks. i'll think about it then :) Jan 06 01:43:39 madnificent: or you can create your own custom feed and measure downloads yourself Jan 06 01:44:17 rwhitby: naah, i'd prefer to have minimal fuss with this, i don't intend to spend much time on it. Jan 06 01:45:02 probably wouldn't be much work either, but i'd have to maintain it. i don't want to have to do that Jan 06 01:45:07 we don't actually measure downloads from the webos-internals feeds Jan 06 01:45:21 but I believe webOSNation.com does measure for their feed Jan 06 01:45:55 it would be a nice feature to have. that's the only real thing you get when you place it up for the grabs :) Jan 06 01:47:33 been pretty dead in here today Jan 06 01:48:12 rwhitby: any idea whether it measures hits to e.g. webosnation.com/downloads/foo vs the traffic on the CDN to the ipk itself? Jan 06 01:48:55 (preware's precentral feed points directly at the latter) Jan 06 01:52:35 My Pre 3 just shipped today, hell yeah Jan 06 01:52:53 dwc-: no idea - you'd need to ask precentral about that Jan 06 01:55:55 dwc-: i guess they count the direct hits, which is sad again :) Jan 06 02:24:18 anyonegot knowledge of the at&t pres Jan 06 02:26:43 firstly, is there a standard pre vs pre plus Jan 06 02:26:46 on at&t.
