00:02.53oilrwhitby, why doesnt the backup script copy the feeds out and back in?
00:03.33lingfishAnyone else have the issue?  And in .au by any chance?  rwhitby ?
00:04.05sbromwichwhat's the timezone bug?
00:04.35lingfishWell, my time rolled back fine at end of our daylight saving here a few days ago...
00:04.41lingfishand its gone back another hour now :/
00:04.52sbromwichoops
00:04.53lingfishand there's no zdump installed on the phone
00:04.58sbromwichthat sucks :-/
00:05.14zsocsbromwich: 8GB sticks are pretty cheap here. Even 16GBs on sale.
00:05.34sbromwichoh, the whole shooting match will fit on an 8 gig stick?
00:05.45zsocI can't imagine it won't
00:05.50zsocmaybe i'm being stupid tho
00:06.09sbromwich651 meg for the cross compile directory ;-)
00:06.19zsochow big is 4347676 ?
00:06.30zsoc4.2GB
00:06.32sbromwichbytes?
00:06.39zsocthat's how much my entire vbox is so far
00:06.47sbromwichah ok
00:06.47zsocand i have all sorts of crazy stuff installed/staged
00:07.44sbromwichgit checkout -b doctor_14 origin/doctor_14 in the toolchain directory?
00:08.11zsoci'm not sure what that comment is exactly
00:08.15zsoci think it's for specific doctor versions
00:08.19zsoci suppose _14 is 1.4
00:08.20zsocso sure
00:08.26sbromwichok
00:08.31sbromwichI suppose I should try _141

00:09.00zsocsbromwich: and it would be in /srv/preware
00:09.04sbromwichah, no _141, not what I thought it was
00:09.05sbromwich*nod*
00:09.23zsocdoctor version shouldn't matter in this case anyhow
00:10.39lingfishCan someone give me a build of the zdump binary, that'll run on a Pre?
00:11.18lingfishSeems to be a different arch to i386 ;)
00:11.34sbromwichhow odd ;-)

00:13.36bpadalinoi think we're alone now
00:13.47festai got i question about the WebOS QI program
00:13.56festamaybe you could help me
00:14.02bpadalinooh, i've never used it before
00:14.03bpadalino:(
00:14.15sbromwichmake stage fails with 404 on http://palm.cdnetworks.net/rom/pre/p14r0d02252010/sr1ntp140rod/webosdoctorp100ewwsprint.jar
00:14.16festado you know about the WEbOs QI Prog?
00:14.21festaoh
00:14.24bpadalinoi know about it
00:14.28zsocsbromwich: does your box have an internet connection?
00:14.36sbromwichyup
00:14.40bpadalinolink is broken
00:14.43zsocoh, that link is bad
00:14.45sbromwichit downloaded the rest of the toolchain ok
00:14.59zsocyou can download the doctor and just put it in that folder
00:15.00zsoc1 sec
00:15.01bpadalinoshould be http://palm.cdnetworks.net/rom/pre/p1411r0d03312010/sr1ntp1411rod/webosdoctorp100ewwsprint.jar
00:15.12sbromwichthanks bpadalino
00:15.24zsocsbromwich: navigate to /cross-compile/doctors/ and wget that link
00:16.04festasoea anyone know why when i try and use the themer on WEbOsQI and i clikc load them it says that it is disabled until the Theming Specifications are put in place?
00:16.37bpadalinoprobably because theming was causing all sortsa issues beforehand
00:16.46bpadalinoand there was no standard way to put them together ?
00:17.00festaoh
00:17.06festai have no idea lol
00:17.13sbromwichbpadalino: do you have an alternative for http://palm.cdnetworks.net/rom/pixi/px14r0d02252010/sr1ntp140rod/webosdoctorp200ewwsprint.jar too?
00:17.16festai mean i can use the Preware to put themes on it
00:17.31bpadalinohttp://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Webos_Doctor_Versions
00:17.36festabut after i put a theme on it i have to goback to the default theme befor i can load another one

00:23.23festai figure the phone just searches for .wma and .mp3s in the folder anyway
00:23.26festain all folders
00:25.00zsocfesta: it searches for many filetypes anywhere in /media/internal, and then checks their metadata to sort them properly
00:25.00sbromwichsod... bombed out trying to compile openssl
00:25.13zsocdefine bombed
00:25.32halfhalo_T400nukes?
00:25.36halfhalo_T400:]
00:25.47sbromwichI'm trying to figure out quite where but it failed to compile with errors on libcrypto.so.* and libssl.,so.*
00:26.02zsocsbromwich: try a different package.. something known to build with no DEPs.. like uh..
00:26.15sbromwichthis is trying to do make stage
00:26.20rwhitbylingfish: my time is correct on the Pre
00:26.31zsocsbromwich: bison
00:26.36rwhitbyoil: good point - it probably should save the feeds config too

00:27.34zsocsbromwich: I have no idea what you are doing, but please stop :D cd to packages/bison and 'make stage'
00:27.40lingfishrwhitby: very, very strange.
00:27.44lingfishDunno what it was
00:28.09sbromwichit would not be beyond the bounds of possibility that this machine has a dicky ram chip in it too though
00:28.39sbromwichconfigure seems to be running happily for bison now
00:28.55rwhitbysbromwich: note that the WIDK is in no way represented to be a mature cross-compilation environment. I would have preferred to go with an OpenEmbedded setup using palm's config, but they haven't published such.
00:29.18zsocsbromwich: unfortunately ram seems to be a major issue with running cpu emulators in a virtual box
00:29.20rwhitbySo you should not expect polish and should expect problems :-)
00:29.21sbromwichrwhitby: understood... I'm just happy to get my hands on whatever I can :-)
00:29.36zsocsbromwich: for what you're trying to compile, this should be perfect. and hell, it sets up really fast ;)
00:29.40rwhitbysbromwich: no worries, with that understanding it should work pretty well
00:29.58sbromwichhow vital is openssl to getting things going?
00:30.26sbromwichand now bison is compiling

00:31.08zsoccongratulations, you have a working cross compile environment
00:31.24sbromwichoh, that's it?
00:31.36sbromwichI was under the misimpression I was building it right now ;-)
00:31.37zsocsbromwich: check Makefile 's for an example of how to use it
00:31.44sbromwichfeels rather cheery now
00:31.51sbromwichok
00:31.54zsocsbromwich: nope, you already built it :D ie, vim packages/bison/Makefile

00:32.21zsocbasically, you should make a new folder/Makefile for each thing you wan't to build, but you don't _have_ to. Those makefile's will show examples of how to use the ${SB2} env var to your liking
00:32.45raster${PANTS}
00:33.41sbromwichI don't see anything obvious there I need for kernel compilation
00:34.07rwhitbysbromwich: oh, the kernel compilation stuff is not in there :)
00:34.26rwhitbysbromwich: it's in preware/build.git/hardware/uber-kernel-pre/Makefile
00:34.37sbromwichno, I have my own kernel tree with -rt applied then the preware patch
00:34.48sbromwichta
00:35.15sbromwichin /srv/preware?
00:35.19rwhitbysbromwich: it's a basic normal kernel compile - we just set up the toolchain for CROSS_COMPILE to use
00:35.48zsocAnd that's where I can no longer help. I know nothing about kernels.
00:35.50sbromwichI need to git-clone from somewhere?
00:35.52sbromwich*grin*
00:35.59sbromwichyou have been very helpful zsoc, thanks :-)
00:36.21zsocsbromwich: well, build.git is another makefile used for the autobuilder... if what you need rod is saying is in there, you'll welcome to grab it :)
00:36.52sbromwichI only have /srv/preware/cross-compile, nothing else in there
00:37.06sbromwichsuspects he's missing something obvious (again)
00:39.54rwhitbysbromwich: git clone git://git.webos-internals.org/preware/build.git in /srv/preware
00:40.33sbromwichthanks
00:45.27sbromwichok I think I've got it... now to see if it compiles :-)

00:57.23chrisaSounds like the CROSS_COMPILE var is wrong
00:58.06zsocsbromwich: you built your toolchain in /srv/preware/cross-compile
00:58.22zsocand that's where scratchbox should be expecting things
00:58.32zsocif you want to use build.git, you can't use scratchbox
00:58.41sbromwichahhhhh

01:18.03zsocchrisa: well as it is, safari on iphone OS already handles tabs similar to webOS
01:18.17chrisaWho knows, but Apple has made it clear in the past they don't think it's a good idea

01:25.51zsocMountaineer: welcome to linux
01:26.10sbromwichI can't stand iphones myself, I have no great liking for them
01:26.37sbromwichthe mention of multitasking on an iphone made me think of the multitasking in system 9 (or whatever the pre-osx was)
01:26.42zsocSome of the GLES apps on the Pre have really impressed me. I've just now gotten to playing a few.

01:27.49sbromwichahhh
01:27.49bpadalinothe scrolling on the iphone is a bit more fluid .. the email app in iphone os seems to be a bit 'smoother' as well versus email on the pre ..
01:28.07bpadalinomy pre still thinks a google calendar i have is off by a day ..
01:28.10zsoci like the webos email app
01:28.13sbromwichI would like to think I have tweaked my pre to be more fluid than an iphone
01:28.15bpadalinoand my fb timezone is off as well
01:28.44sbromwichI'm waiting until the next time I see a friend who owns an iphone to see how her's compares
01:29.01zsocI mean, think of the stock differences between webos 1.0.3 and webos 1.4.1.1
01:29.04zsocit's night and day imo
01:29.35bpadalinooh there is absolutely no doubt the performance has gotten significantly better
01:29.59sbromwichactually... I don't suppose there is anyone from palm here?
01:29.59bpadalinothe omap3 under the hood is underappreciated ..and the guys on those forums saying 'snapdragon' for new hardware are kinda silly ..

01:30.58sbromwichin /etc/fstab /var is mounted data=writeback but surely it should be /var/log that is mounted data=writeback? performance is much smoother that way
01:31.05sbromwichthanks bpadalino :-)
01:31.22sbromwichalso I care less if /var/log gets corrupted than if /var does
01:32.30zsocsbromwich: you might want to consider sending that directly to the engineering department
01:32.48sbromwichI might, but tomorrow I start back at work and will have no free time until august

04:04.53JayCanuckhmm
04:04.54MitalisIs character counter working for anybody else?  I've seen a few threads of people saying the patch is working for them with 1.4.1 installed.
04:04.55MitalisBut for me it's just installed as a placeholder.
04:05.01phil_bwdtzWill, I know you're not around but I just wanted to let you know that I made a *ton* of progress on the X window manger front.  I've got a custom fvwm setup that works beautifully with virtual desktops, I'll post a vid tomorrow so look for it
04:05.20Jack87JayCanuck: seems like it might have to be an app all in it self rather then a patch?
04:05.33JayCanuckjack87, maybe at 55*C I can give a warning that if it stays above 55*C, in 5minutes, the device will shut down. sound good?
04:06.16JayCanuckdefinitely do-able as a patch :)

04:07.25Jack87phil_bw: thats awesome
04:08.10phil_bwwith very little effort can load it up, open up a document in openoffice, switch virtual desktops if something goes off the screen, all with very little memory impact

04:08.40Jack87phil_bw: does it run in SDL?

04:15.34phil_bwrwhitby, well since the server part is all dtzWill (and it is already in the testing feed) I'd say not much on that end
04:16.17rwhitbyphil_bw: but we need to set up a debian chroot infrastructure, right?
04:16.22phil_bwrwhitby, packaging up a whole debian environment and configuring it to work right via chroot is a completely different task that I'm sure only you and jason could answer
04:17.01phil_bwrwhitby, correct, my hope is to eventually build an img file that is already configured with fvwm and some minimal apps
04:17.23phil_bwso if all was done right you'd just install the server from preware then drop the img file on the usb drive and load it up
04:17.46phil_bwthen just use apt-get (or a visual alternative if you wanted) for the apps you want
04:18.14tmzt_install the server?
04:18.55rwhitbyphil_bw: what about webOS customisations of the apps you apt-get install ?
04:19.07rwhitby(presumably most would need some?)
04:19.17phil_bwthe tough part is that the img file would be already be just about max capacity when it's made lean and mean
04:19.35phil_bwand most users don't have access to a linux box to expand it (mine's at 1.5GB and i'm pushing needing to size it up again)
04:20.00phil_bwrwhitby, I'm not sure I get what you mean by customisations
04:20.07phil_bwtmzt_, what about the server?
04:20.42tmzt_what is it?
04:21.10ka6soxa debootstrapped image is pretty small.
04:21.16rwhitbytmzt_: X Server in webos-internals testing feed - install it via preware
04:21.49ka6soxjust use the filelist from that initally
04:21.50tmzt_ok
04:22.17phil_bwtmzt_, it's just an X server with nothing attached to it, you can do with it what you want, I just happen to use a debian environment through chroot where I have X apps connecting to it
04:22.37rwhitbyphil_bw: customisations like geometry and such, or file paths etc
04:23.00phil_bwka6sox, it's easy to get a small debian image, it's the resizing later that'll be tough for users
04:23.20ka6soxphil_bw, kk
04:23.27tmzt_does anybody have a .c program to mount and chroot
04:23.28phil_bwrwhitby, I'm not sure about geometry, I've found that every app I've tested sets itself to the max screen width by default anyway
04:24.06tmzt_maybe even as a service
04:24.32phil_bwthe other option, which I've thought about but haven't experiment with would be to basically bind the /var back out to the /media portion

04:27.16rwhitbyphil_bw: we currently bind mount /var/opt over to /opt for optware
04:28.07rwhitbyphil_bw: but /var is quite small unless you've meta-doctored it to 2GB
04:28.27jacques2GiB /var FTW
04:29.47phil_bwrwhitby, I'm thinking more of binding /var *in* the debian portion back *out* to the /media portion
04:30.20rwhitbyphil_bw: oh, ok.  well, note that nothing under /media has symlinks or permissions - it's vfat
04:30.32phil_bwrwhitby, crap... that's right

04:46.28dtzWillrwhitby: we absolutely do, I agree. as to *how* that's not as clear. if we support a particular wm (or two, _maybe_) we might be able to hack that together, similar to the way some commercial linux applications install themselves onto the gnome and kde menus
04:46.34sslow_this 5 min wait in between is killing me
04:47.04phil_bwok, I'm back for a sec
04:47.21dtzWillphil_bw: wb :)
04:47.24phil_bwthnx
04:47.49phil_bwdtzWill, so I think fvwm is the answer to X usability on the Pre
04:48.06phil_bwit's *incredibly* customizable and it's virtual desktops make it work so well
04:48.21dtzWillphil_bw: that's great news.  I was hoping some wm would fit the bill :)
04:48.37dtzWillphil_bw: j/w, how much customization did it take? :)
04:49.12dtzWillif we decide that's the wm we want to support it might be worth to just stage that and build it so people have a working wm.
04:49.21phil_bwdtzWill, well first I had to make it *not* look like windows 95 which is how it defaults, killed the task bar and this big ugly button list that had buttons for apps that weren't even installed
04:49.29dtzWillit's hard to draw the line where we should make it preware-happy and where we should just say "build a debian image"
04:49.37dtzWillphil_bw: haha
04:50.17phil_bwdtzWill, I also tweaked the "desker" (virtual desktop) module so it was more fat finger friendly
04:50.29phil_bwtomorrow I will mod the menus to make them fat finger friendly as well
04:50.31rwhitbydtzWill: I'd say a windows manager fits the bill of being worth packaging separately
04:50.36dtzWillphil_bw: wonderful! were there any source changes, or just configuration files, etc?
04:51.22phil_bwdtzWill, just config files, one shell script could easily convert it over, infact it comes completely stripped down and you rin the "95 script" to make it look like windows 95
04:51.49dtzWillrwhitby: agreed, but at some point we can't exactly launch our own complete distribution--so how much do we build (and as separate packages, etc?) ourselves and how much do we say "use a debian image" (that perhaps we provide and automate and make more usable)
04:51.50phil_bwI could easily take the "95 script" and modify it to do what we want, perhaps change up the icons to Pre-looking ones (instead of direct MS rips)
04:52.27rwhitbydtzWill: yeah, it's a fine line.  Similar to the one I have to draw with optware - which packages do I add to preware, and which do I leave as command line install onlyl
04:53.27dtzWillphil_bw: that sounds great. we should definitely get on that, that sounds fantastic
04:54.06dtzWillrwhitby: and of course there's the issue you mentioned of wanting to make these applications more pre-friendly (the ones we leave to debian chroot to provide)
04:54.17dtzWillrwhitby: maybe we SHOULD fork our own debian distro xD
04:54.41phil_bwsees his little remaining free time making it's way down the toilet
04:54.48tmzt_what about XPde?
04:55.01tmzt_mostly variants of kde crystal I think
04:55.48phil_bwalso, if someone was able to build a desktop utilty to customize the img on the fly we could go that route
04:56.00phil_bwpretty much just have to resize it
04:56.01dtzWillthinks of german windows XP :P
04:56.18tmzt_there's multiple versions of that, jigdo-image, mic2, etc.
04:56.34dtzWill...do we want the wm tolook like xp necessarily?
04:56.40phil_bwtmzt_, windows versions?
04:56.42dtzWillbah i don't wanna tell anyone what wm to use :(.
04:57.09tmzt_hmm, I thought you were going for Windows 95 look
04:57.26tmzt_no, those are for building debian/ubuntu images with custom packages
04:57.26phil_bwtmzt_, trying to do away with the win95 look that fvwm defaults to
04:57.38phil_bwoh
04:57.51tmzt_they'd even run on the Pre
04:58.14dtzWilli tried running resize2fs on my pre once
04:58.19dtzWill....I don't recommend it
04:58.24phil_bwhaha
04:58.29phil_bwdtzWill, so did I
04:58.35phil_bwalso don't recommend it
04:58.53tmzt_moving a lot of data?
04:59.09jacquesresizing on flash must be ... slow
04:59.24dtzWilljacques: it is, and made the entire system absolutely unusable
04:59.33dtzWillended pulling the battery after hours :/
04:59.43jacquesI kept meaning to bench the flash access on the pre - it seems like < 5MiB/s
04:59.59dtzWilland just copying it properly. which, btw, scp -C rather helps when what you're copying is mostly 0's :)
05:02.47dtzWillI suppose just supporting one wm officially and letting tinkerers ...tinker (and perhaps help them with some tools) isn't so bad a way to go
05:03.32jacquesI'm probably going to lose my sat connection soon - boat is moving back under cover
05:03.54dtzWilljacques: man you seem to travel an awful lot :)
05:03.55rwhitbyjacques: it's a tough life ...
05:04.41ka6soxjacques, but somebody's gotta do it.
05:04.46jacquesdtzWill, only recently :-)
05:05.11phil_bwhm
05:05.38phil_bwthe guys in #linux say try mingw or cygwin
05:06.05jacquestomorrow they load the ROVs onboard
05:07.17dtzWillphil_bw: try those for what? resizing/customizing the debian chroot?
05:07.35dtzWilli think requiring people to instal cygwin is..something to be considered carefully
05:07.55phil_bwdtzWill, well if you could compile resize2fs to windows you could build a tool who's sole purpose is to size the img before they put it on their device
05:08.00phil_bwno no
05:08.12dtzWilloh you mean an env you can build windows binaries from
05:08.12dtzWillokay
05:08.17phil_bwright
05:08.34phil_bwthen someone could build a tool that contains the small img (that the user doesn't have to see)
05:08.50phil_bwthey open it and it simply asks how big they want it, then it spits out the new img file in that size
05:09.01phil_bwand if they ever want to size up their current one they could use the same tool for that as well
05:10.09phil_bwno telling if it'll actually work
05:10.46dtzWillI suppose. i mean it's certainly moving forward. maybe I'm just stuck on finding the uber solution :). seems undesirable to have people dealing with a chroot, and sizing them, etc
05:11.02dtzWillbut that does get us a lot of apps, quickly, and possibly comparatively easily
05:11.21phil_bwright, good luck cross compiling openoffice to run natively... ya know
05:11.42dtzWillphil_bw: well first I'll grab the way the debian guys do it.... :)
05:11.45phil_bwif all the user had to do was download one desktop utility and push a button it would be fine
05:11.46jacquesheading to the mess, biab (or back tomorrow if I lose the satellite)
05:12.06phil_bwin fact the desktop utility could install the webos package as well (similar to preware)
05:13.33phil_bwanyhow, I haven't seen my wife all day and she just got home so I am going to take off, I'll talk to you guys later, again if you need anything and I'm not around just drop me a line at phil@boraware.com

12:10.44rwhitbyjhojho: yes
12:12.42sbromwichoh is that what's doing the pull?
12:12.52sbromwichI can extract out the tarball if it would help
12:13.59sbromwichI've also asked the VP of SW dev at novell if he's aware of anyone else porting -rt to phones before and what their experience was
12:14.13jhojhosbromwich: so why are you trying to get rt patches working on the pre?
12:14.29sbromwichbecause pulseaudio is very latency sensitive
12:14.43jhojhoah
12:15.02sbromwich-rt makes it try harder to keep in sync so the sounds happen when things happen on screen instead of a perceptible few milliseconds later
12:15.19sbromwichI will hold back on my rant about pulseaudio as I fear it would be inappropriate.
12:15.35jhojholol. no. I'm well aware of it from other forums
12:15.55sbromwichyes, it's... *cough* well known.
12:16.04jhojhonot personally invested in audio/rt so doesnt really bother me
12:16.29jhojhowhat I would like are the unreleased patches for omap from ti =)
12:16.48sbromwichit gives a big performance boost for other stuff as well, particularly for video, so I'm thinking that might fix the problem with artifacts people are moaning about
12:16.53sbromwichyeah, wouldn't that be nice?
12:17.11jhojhowell as for the jittering
12:17.20jhojhoi think 125mhz is too low from my testing
12:17.36sbromwichit's a matter of tweaking the settings
12:17.36AnOutsidermornign all
12:17.48AnOutsiderrwhitby or zsoc: thanks for adding news room :)
12:17.59jhojho250mhz seems to work for me but have not done comprehensive testing with the powersave_bias param
12:18.02sbromwicheg I posted a list on the forums of my settings and explicitly said they were extremely conservative because I have a "bad" cpu that won't stick at 800
12:18.12jhojhoI saw the post
12:18.15sbromwichand then people complained my settings were too conservative and caused artifacts
12:18.19sbromwich*roll eyes*
12:18.47jhojhofor me upthreshold of 20 and powersave_bias (cant remember) works
12:19.16jhojhoreally need a group of people that are willing to test out various params using different governors
12:19.18sbromwich*nod*
12:19.39sbromwichthe other thing is people setting retardedly high values for the sensor so the cpu has the wake up repeatedly to check the load
12:19.48jhojhohave you confirmed that modifying LunaSysMgr does not matter when you do not use the userspace governor?
12:19.53sbromwichwhich thereby drains the battery chop chop fasta benj
12:20.16sbromwichhave I tried both userspace and ondemand, do you mean?
12:20.52jhojhomeaning that modifying LunaSysMgr to 600000 or higher is not needed if using the ondemand or conservative governor
12:20.57sbromwichif I use userspace the palm daemon will frig with the frequencies (as expected)
12:21.08sbromwichcorrect
12:21.43sbromwichif non-userspace daemon is selected the palm stuff doesn't touch any of the cpufreq that I've noticed
12:21.54sbromwichsorry, non-userspace governor
12:23.57jhojhoactually I've noticed that lunasysmgr does not try to much with things when I use clipcarl's binary too
12:24.08jhojhoi.e. 600mhz lcd on, 250 lcd off
12:24.36sbromwichI experimented with my own userspace daemon but found ultimately the userspace one did just as well without needing 6 meg of ram for perl
12:24.48sbromwichhttp://www.fop.ns.ca/pt.pl is where I put it, I think
12:24.56sbromwichlittle more than a state machine
12:25.17sbromwichwhat's clipcarl's binary?
12:25.25jhojhoyou have to search the forums

12:25.52jhojhoyes
12:25.58sbromwichoh, that one, o0k
12:26.25jhojhoalso, testers needed to see if noop/deadline performs better than cfq on the pre
12:26.30rwhitbyAnOutsider: yw
12:26.56rwhitbysbromwich: no, we're not pulling anything from your website, it was just an example of a possibilty
12:27.15sbromwichoh, have you seen my comments passim about /var and /var/log in /etc/fstab, and logging in /etc/PmLog.conf?
12:27.23jhojhoit's in the current kernel patch but no reason given as of yet why the change was made and I have not seen any actual test results.
12:27.54sbromwichrwhitby: It's a complete compiled tree so it might be easier if someone just wants to run a diff against it rather than downloading all the object code as well
12:28.20jhojhosbromwich: are you asking me re: /var ?
12:28.23sbromwichmy suspicion would be cfq was getting overwhelmed by the amount of data being written to /var/log
12:28.27sbromwichsorry, yes jhojho
12:28.34jhojhoyes I have.
12:28.44sbromwichk
12:28.46jhojhoagree that /var should be =ordered
12:29.04jhojhonot sure why it's not but that's a change I would rather palm engineering weigh in on
12:29.12sbromwichI found setting /var/log data=writeback not /var to be a major, major performance increase for me in certain areas where I saw it
12:29.14sbromwichmmm
12:29.34jhojhotheir thought process
12:29.53jhojhosbromwich: really? measured or just subjective?
12:30.01sbromwichit looks to me like a thinko
12:30.02rwhitbysbromwich: at the moment I'm focused on just getting a stock kernel with overclocking ability correctly packaged, so I won't be getting diverted into -rt kernels
12:30.41sbromwichjhojho: simple test: I have a 4 digit PIN, if /var/log is not writeback and syslog is enabled it lags entering the pin, otherwise it's responsive

12:36.48jhojhosbromwich: very much so
12:38.32jhojhosbromwich: another thing for you to play with is that rwhitby has added powertop to the optware feed so you can see the power consumption on the pre
12:38.49sbromwichheh
12:38.56sbromwichI installed powertop second day I got the pre
12:40.00sbromwichI've also got a killawatt meter and did some testing... standard draw is 2 watts when turned on, 3 watts when working (resolution of the killawatt is 1w)
12:40.39sbromwichand I think the reason people are burning out chargers is because the palm one provides a full amp not 500mA, so my guess is the palm is seeing a "dumb" charger and trying to draw a full amp
12:41.25sbromwicheg that muppet that tried to power his pre off of a dinky solar charger and complained when shit burnt out
12:43.24rwhitbyPreware Alpha 0.9.58 is in the testing feed, with a couple of good bug fixes.
12:46.41VincentLawwhat's the upgrade procedure, rwhitby?
12:46.45sbromwichinstalled, luna is taking its own sweet time to restart
12:46.49VincentLawjust install it and it removes package manager?
12:47.30sbromwichhmmm... preware terminate but it doesn't look like luna is restart
12:47.31sbromwiching
12:47.56rwhitbyVincentLaw: this is the version which puts the upgrade procedure in place, so it's probably a case of whatever works for this version
12:48.07VincentLawok
12:49.00rwhitbysbromwich: luna should never need to restart for preware
12:49.23rwhitby(since preware doesn't modify any UI files)
12:49.24VincentLawyeah, package manager service needs a java restart, not luna
12:49.29sbromwichI got a "luna needs to restart" message

12:49.41sbromwichah, maybe I wasn't paying close enough attention
12:49.44sbromwicherrr
12:49.56sbromwichgonned now
12:50.03rwhitbyipkgservice will ask for a java restart.  preware alpha shouldn't
12:50.07VincentLawjava will restart and you won't see anything happening besides the phone going offline
12:50.21sbromwichnope, not going offline
12:50.31sbromwichrestarted preware and it says 0.9.58
12:50.34rwhitbypreware alpha is replacing ipkgservice specifically to get rid of the java restart
12:50.55rwhitbyif it says 0.9.58, then you started Preware Alpha, not Preware.
12:51.26jhojhobtw caj2008 just emailed and mentioned he'll be joining the fun at webos-internals.
12:51.29sbromwichsorry, yes, I should be more specific
12:51.45sbromwichperhaps name it pralpha or something to make it easier for the hard of thinking like me? ;-)
12:52.22rwhitbyI expect it will only last for a couple more weeks
12:52.28rwhitby(maybe 3 or 4)
12:52.28sbromwichpackage feeds needed refreshing but otherwise everything looks good, just looking for sometime useful (or at least not totally useless) to install

12:54.14VincentLawrwhitby: yeah, I almost wonder if it installed correctly
12:54.28rwhitbyhmm - those temp in device patches should really be in the topbar category, not other
12:54.34sbromwichstill, this wasn't a particularly important conference call, they can wait while it reboots
12:54.40VincentLawrwhitby: it installed the "Share Larger Videos Via Email" patch in literally 0.5 seconds. No exaggeration. I couldn't even read what it was doing it went so fast.
12:55.21sbromwichand I just found removing the battery while the usb cable is plugged in and charging will do a full reset, handy
12:55.33jhojhorwhitby: agreed. (where the patches should be). has dbsooner resurfaced or are you packaging patches now?
12:55.33idontwan2knowwas there a problem with the 4x4 v4 plus more patch? I just was told by preware to update it for the second time in two days, and now I'm back to stock
12:55.53jhojhosbromwich: yeah. that was a surprise. the treo never did that
12:55.56rwhitbyjhojho: I did the last round of updates, but either dBsooner or egaudet did a round after that
12:56.18rwhitbyidontwan2know: dunno, have you asked the author?
12:56.20jhojhoah
12:56.29VincentLawedit any video's metadata went pretty fast as well, not as fast as the previous, but still much faster than standard Preware.

13:50.15caj2008hey
13:50.35caj2008learning quite a bit here
13:50.54rwhitbyjhojho: so is there an actual benefit to changing to noop, or is it just that there is no benefit to using cfq?
13:51.06jhojhorwhitby: see http://www.alphatek.info/2009/02/02/ssd-performance-vs-linux-kernel-io-scheduler-in-fedora-10/
13:51.24jhojhoand http://www.alphatek.info/2009/02/02/io-scheduler-and-ssd-part-2/
13:52.18jhojhoso in general the thought is that noop/deadline should help but it's a good idea to test to verify
13:52.23rwhitbyjhojho: oh, the change is to the IO scheduler, not the CPU scheduler?
13:52.28jhojhoyes
13:52.31jhojhoAND
13:52.43jhojhothe change can be made by modifying a /proc entry

13:55.44rwhitbyjhojho: the patch was put in that place intentionally as a common area.
13:55.53jhojhomaybe you can help test the deadline scheduler too
13:55.57rwhitby(by unixpsycho)
13:56.02jhojhook
13:56.12sbromwichdeadline won't help, seek latency is too low on flash
13:56.17sbromwichI agree with the noop argument myself

13:57.22jhojhoah
13:58.02caj2008nice!
13:58.10jhojhodo kernels still use .config? its been ages since I worked on the kernel =)
13:58.30jhojhoages=over 10 years ago
13:58.32rwhitbyjhojho: yep.  I included the defconfig changes in the patch
13:58.49rwhitbyfor the sirloin defconfig that is
14:00.09jhojhorwhitby: do you want to maintain config changes as part of that patch or as a separate piece. imo it should be broken out
14:00.23jhojhowith a diff specifically for .config changes
14:00.33jhojhomakes it easier to read that way.
14:00.55rwhitbyjhojho: you saw that the patch is a diff of the .config changes, right?
14:00.58jhojhoand to track too. as none of the .config changes are as a result of a kernel source change
14:01.23jhojhorwhitby: right, just wanting input if that should be a separate patch
14:01.34jhojhobecause it could be applied to a stock kernel too
14:01.36rwhitbyjhojho: but yes, it does make sense to separate, especially since a single config will need to cover multiple patches from different sources.
14:01.53jhojhoall we are doing in there is flipping more bits on
14:02.00jhojhookay
14:02.09rwhitby(when different functionality patches are merged into a single unified modular kernel)
14:02.33jhojhoawesome. looks like we have agreement there.
14:08.42rwhitbyjhojho: over the next couple of days (with egaudet), I'm going to add prologue and epilogue functionality to the aupt-4 postinst and prerm to allow for the creating the device node required
14:08.54rwhitby(and to allow for remounting rw of /boot)
14:09.01jhojhocool
14:09.12caj2008nice touch
14:09.24jhojhoyeah. kinda need that for installing a new kernel =)
14:09.55rwhitbyjhojho: currently the Makefile builds the kernel and then puts it in the additional_files location for aupt to handle
14:10.19rwhitbyI need to get with egaudet to make sure aupt-4 handles those correctly md5sum-wise

14:32.37AnOutsider.58 of the base preware or C preware
14:32.56rwhitbyAnOutsider: base preware is 0.9.35 - C preware is 0.9.50+
14:33.02AnOutsiderAh yeah, it did have all my feeds when I opened the alpha
14:33.37rwhitbyAnOutsider: if you've got ipkgservice < 0.9.45 installed, it will remove the feeds when it is uninstalled
14:34.22rwhitbyso I'll be pushing an update to the java ipkgservice too, so that it no longer does that (all feed setup is now in the postinst instead of being static files that ipkg uninstalls automatically)
14:34.33AnOutsidernope, updated the package service this morning, so I think I'm good
14:34.47AnOutsiderwhere are the primary speed improvements in the alpha?
14:34.51AnOutsiderpackage installation?
14:35.06rwhitbyAnOutsider: so a good test is to install preware 0.9.35, ipkgservice 0.9.45, and then install preware-alpha 0.9.58 over the top and make sure it cleanly removes ipkgservice.
14:35.51rwhitbyAnOutsider: the logic is basically the same, except it downloads the package first using curl (hence the progress stats) and then ipkg installs from the local file
14:36.17AnOutsiderwhereas the rpevious version called ipkg on the remote url?
14:36.29rwhitbyAnOutsider: apart from that, just the speed of C with staticly allocated buffers vs Java strings ;-)
14:37.00rwhitbyAnOutsider: Java version allows ipkg to choose the download URL based on the feeds
14:37.11rwhitbyAnOutsider: C version has that URL passed down from Preware
14:37.52rwhitbyAnOutsider:  that allows for things like installing something which is not the latest version of a something
14:38.13AnOutsiderroger that
14:38.24rwhitbybut is mainly for the download stats
14:38.24AnOutsiderat the very least, it's really good having everything in one package now
14:38.40rwhitbyyeah, that should cut out at least 50% of support issues
14:38.41AnOutsiderupdating preware and PMS individually was a bit of a pain

14:39.47rwhitbypity it doesn't sync with google reader

14:40.53zsoc_wircAnOutsider: still, other's might say he did it on his own accord
14:41.08JayCanuckhmm why "VERSION=aupt-1" currently the aupt scripts on the git?
14:41.28JayCanucknvm, my mistake
14:41.52AnOutsiderso, real quick, did anything ever come of moving themes to css patches?
14:43.21JayCanuckI think they had some ideas, but I believe the css idea had some big issues, like not affects several key images folders, and the frustrating "!important" css keyword
14:43.53AnOutsiderhmm, the !important bit could likely be solved with some css trickery
14:44.07AnOutsiderwhat that about the image folders though?
14:44.42JayCanucklike image folders used by lunasysmgr
14:46.57JayCanuckI have an interesting idea for themes
14:47.07AnOutsiderdo tell

14:48.51JayCanuckwell, as you may or may not be aware, recently both rod's ipkg scripts and my jpkg-webos library were updated to include support for palm's pmPostInstall.script and pmPreRemove.script
14:49.54JayCanuckbasically allowing for installation/uninstallation via palm's ApplicationInstallUtility
14:50.02zsoc_wircwonders if themes could just go away...
14:50.18rwhitbyzsoc_wirc: themes are paying for AnOutsider's retirement ;-)
14:50.27AnOutsiderhaha hardly
14:50.44JayCanuckme and rod recently came to an agreement on a how services should function under this system
14:50.47AnOutsiderwhat doesnt go to server bills goes to WOI donations
14:51.06rwhitbywhich we then spend on server hardware :)
14:51.08AnOutsidersomewhat agrees with zsoc
14:51.12caj2008dont some of themes mess with aupt4 compatibility of some of the patches??
14:51.25JayCanucknope
14:51.42JayCanucknot if themes are installed separate to patches in themes
14:52.00rwhitbythemes are currently completely outside of the scope of AUPT, and are considered to be manual uncontrolled changes if they touch the same files as patches
14:52.03caj2008ok
14:52.32JayCanuckme and rod agreed on having a /media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/applications/whatever/ folder with an appinfo and icon
14:52.36caj2008makes sense
14:52.46JayCanuck(for services)
14:52.46rwhitbybut all the right stakeholders are in agreement to remedy that in the fullness of time
14:53.11rwhitby(mainly so you can orange+tap remove them)
14:53.23AnOutsiderorange tap themes?
14:53.28AnOutsiderso themes would be installed as apps
14:54.00JayCanuckwith the appinfo.json and the icon.png, under the new postinst/prerm format, you can keep the launcher icon hidden, but allow the app to remain listed in the app list and be user-removable without any special software
14:54.13rwhitbyAnOutsider: I was referring to orange tapping services.  I'm not up to speed on what Jason is describing yet
14:54.28AnOutsidergotcha to both
14:54.56Rick_workorange-tap themes would be so cool.
14:55.07JayCanuckmy suggestion would be to include the same format on themes, for user-conventient uninstalls :)
14:55.11AnOutsidermy goal is to have themes as self-sufficient as possible. it becomes a pain managing it all (especially between OS updates), so that's why I was open to the CSS thing
14:55.48AnOutsiderSo, having post install scripts officially from palm, think homebrew will make it to the catalog?
14:55.51JayCanuckwell, aupt is a huge step forward with that respect
14:55.56JayCanucknope
14:56.04AnOutsiderI know themes wouldnt (or shouldnt)-- too much can go wrong to be officially distributed
14:56.49rwhitbyAnOutsider: nope, I've already asked, and the word is that all scripts are stripped at submission time.  only Palm can officially use them. (and only we can unofficially use them ;-)
14:57.03AnOutsiderheh, fair enough
14:57.21AnOutsiderit would be a nightmare in any case
14:57.26rwhitbyrandom post install scripts would cross the bright line of app catalog security
14:58.06caj2008I am surprised they didnt excecute a cease and desist order on some of this but they know secretly waht is best to maintian user satisfaction
14:58.15gelatocan I use reize2fs and just resize my already working debian chroot on the pre to be however much bigger I need it to be?  or is other steps involved
14:59.07zsoc_wirccaj2008: uh... for what?
14:59.09rwhitbycaj2008: WebOS Internals, from day 1, has always done things in a manner which complies with all copyrights and carrier terms of service.  There is nothing that can be the target of a cease and desist.
14:59.27Rick_workThey have very very clearly articulated their policy on tht caj2008  they know people will push the limits.
14:59.59caj2008anything that indirectlt manipulates Palm source material??
15:00.11gelatowell I'm trying to make the debian chroot bigger
15:00.27rwhitbycaj2008: as long as you don't redistribute the Palm material, you are not making yourself a cease and desist target.
15:00.33VincentLawcaj2008: how is that grounds for C&D?
15:00.37caj2008yep!!
15:00.52gelatobut I'm wondering if I can just do resize2fs or I need to start over with the chroot
15:00.55VincentLawpreware and anything in it doesn't redistribute palm materials ...
15:01.18rwhitbygelato: a resize is going to be slow on the Pre - best to copy off, resize on desktop, then copy back
15:01.52gelatocool, and the file structure will remain the same?
15:02.07zsoc_wircgelato: so slow, it tends to crash, I've tried
15:02.20zsoc_wircgelato: yeah, just do md5 checksums in and out

15:04.05zsoc_wircalso e2fsck has saved my neck a few time with bad resizes
15:04.36rwhitbygelato: and we learnt yesterday the Pre doesn't have the required voltage regulator for OTG host mode
15:04.45ka6soxzsoc_wirc, you have to run an e2fsck to do a resize first.

15:17.25loot-i got a usb wifi adaptor to work with rfmon using an externally powered usb hub
15:17.25rwhitbyVincentLaw: are you sure those patches were installing correctly?
15:17.55loot-clunky to carry around with you and requires external power
15:17.57rwhitbyloot-: connected to a Pre?
15:18.00loot-yea
15:18.12loot-i dont use it though because its easier to just use my laptop honestly
15:18.14rwhitbyloot-: and you got the USB hub to enumerate?
15:18.35loot-rwhitby: this was with 1.3x and a custom kernel but ya
15:18.44loot-it was weird though
15:18.46rwhitbyloot-: are you able to share the details with destinal?
15:18.48loot-it would only work with one device at a time
15:19.04loot-i can probably recreate yes

15:22.05rwhitbyloot-: no rush, but we do want the info ;-)
15:22.29rwhitbyloot-: we're building a replacement kernel, so if that can be incorporated we want to do it
15:22.35loot-unfortunately i do remember having to do some things to the kernel
15:22.37loot-ah ya
15:22.40loot-that would work well then
15:22.56loot-i had my own pre patch going for awhile
15:23.06loot-back ported grsecurity patch to the pre's kernel version
15:23.08rwhitbyloot-: the replacement kernel will be installable via Preware
15:23.18loot-excellent
15:23.36loot-now we just need palm to fix the "everything runs as root" issue and i will be completely satisfied with my pre
15:23.38rwhitbyloot-: transparently built from source and patches on the autobuilder
15:23.56nt4catsrwhitby: how would the kernel ipk support uninstall/rollback?
15:24.07rwhitbynt4cats: aupt
15:24.23nt4catsrwhitby: hmmm, that sounds remarkably well thought-out.
15:24.39loot-it sounds excellent IMO
15:24.56loot-imagine having a grsecurity hardened kernel available to just click install on the pre
15:25.00DrFunkanyone have a idea ?

15:26.10zsoc_wircso glyder 2 and wirc run at the same time fine with 800mhz
15:26.13loot-i noticed gaming on the regular stock palm battery it got hot enough to cook an egg
15:26.19rwhitbyloot-: I'll point you to caj2008 for that one
15:27.04loot-and im annoyed with my touchstone... it left a big ugly ring stain in the wood of my night stand
15:27.13en0xso the kernel is the same one as we had for 1.4.0?

15:27.38zsoc_wircnt4cats: g'day
15:27.41loot-well en0x with embedded gear it is just much easier to backport important patches and keep consistent dependency versions
15:27.45rwhitbyen0x: yep, but that one I pasted is not released - I'll be waiting for official source code
15:27.51loot-especially when everything relies on kernel headers for building and what not

15:30.04loot-im sure that can be fixed eventually but that was one of the problems i was having when i last worked on it
15:30.07en0xwell so till the official kernel source+patches won't be released by palm i'm not gonna overclock it with the old kernel

18:34.44sbromwichwrite an app to simulate a front panel and toggle the binary opcodes in by hand
18:35.01Jack87so basically will use IP to connect to the pre webserver (DDNS)
18:37.08Jack87how would on use web browser on computer to upload files
18:38.20Jack87rwhitby: can you point me to wiki page?
18:41.25zsoc_wircJack87: a web browser would involve something like lighty
18:41.30zsoc_wircon a non-standard port
18:41.39zsoc_wircor maybe 443 (https)
18:42.06Jack87and lighty has already been ported to the pre?
18:42.47Jack87now what would be needed is a MOJO app that can control the web server for an end user and tell them the https://IP:443
18:44.08zsoc_wircJack87: right, it would have to assist setting up ddns, and allow you to enter user/pass (so you can have my.pre.cx or similar instead of ip)

22:16.35uNiXpSyChOnaw.  i got it.  gonna give it a whirl.
22:16.49sbromwichI just used the .config rwhitby sent me (which I think came for you) and enabled -rt
22:16.58sbromwich^for^from
22:17.17uNiXpSyChOodd.  i dont remember my builds being so big.
22:17.36sbromwichI make no promises that I built it correctly ;-)
22:17.54sbromwichI was in a rush trying to get it all done while I had some free time last night
22:17.56uNiXpSyChOwell if you got a uImage it built something :)
22:18.03sbromwichthat was my thought
22:18.15sbromwichI was trying to get the emulator going and just ran out of time

22:20.17sbromwichsome day I will pay attention to what window I'm in before typing
22:23.06zsocsbromwich: i'm updated/commited/pushed entire repos with the wrong info from the wrong shell
22:23.39sbromwichI've at least managed to avoid shutdown -r now in the wrong window
22:23.54zsocsbromwich: i'm done that a few good times too, heh
22:24.15sbromwichI did once run killall httpd on solaris instead of the linux terminal I thought I was in, which led to quite some mirth and woe
22:24.50uNiXpSyChOsbromwich: well i can say i've never seen my phone not boot with a bad kernel :)
22:25.24sbromwich*grin*
22:25.46sbromwichwho needs the phone functionality *anyway*.

22:26.06uNiXpSyChObut this one hangs like i've never seen before.  it usually just reboots.
22:26.52sbromwichdo you get any output at all?
22:27.12uNiXpSyChOnope :(
22:27.30sbromwichOK I think I might know what that is then
22:30.02sbromwichI don't suppose there's any known way to get serial console?
22:33.30loot-enumerate usb :P
22:33.53loot-you could plug in a usb to serial device
22:34.15sbromwichhmm, good idea
22:34.17loot-palm might not be too happy about doing it though :P
22:34.23sbromwichI'll see if I can grab one tomorrow
22:34.26sbromwich*shrug*
22:34.28sbromwichit's my phone
22:35.09loot-ya at least they have a die hard fan base
22:35.12zsocwhy would palm care?
22:35.25zsocpeople need to stop assuming palm get's mad about things for no reason
22:35.36loot-because they intentionally try to make it so you cant just plug any old usb device into it
22:35.48zsocwhat Palm /does/ get mad about is my constant bickering, which I probably won't stop
22:35.58loot-haha
22:35.59zsocloot-: give an evidence of them intentionally trying to do that
22:36.31zsocThe current reason you can't "plug any old usb device into it" is a hardware limitation.
22:36.33loot-try using usb devices with it like
22:37.00loot-now you're going to make me dig it up and i have to leave in a minute haha
22:37.10zsochaha n/m it's cool
22:37.12zsoci'm just arguing
22:37.25loot-hardware is not the entire problem though
22:38.00loot-a stock palm kernel/userland wont do it i remember getting it to see a usb stick over a usb hub being a huge pain in the ass
22:39.12loot-it did work with some crappy powered mini usb hub though

22:44.31sbromwichI'm stumped on the kernel compile, which worked fine yesterday; when I do make I get /lib/ld-linux.so.3: No such file or directory
22:44.54sbromwichI must have missed setting something with LIBPATH... anyone recognise that off-hand?

23:28.52lattaso would I be able to mount my debian chroot (copied from the pre) on my linux desktop and compile software for it? or would the cpu architecture screw things up
23:29.14zsoclatta: the latter
23:29.28lattayeah thats why i need to get scratchbox going right?
23:29.39sbromwichthat's the fnu I'm going through right now
23:29.40zsoclatta: you could create a cross compile environment however. options include WIDK (with scratchbox) or gentoo and crossdev
23:29.46zsocWIDK is the most supported method by this channel.
23:30.05zsocThere are literally tens of popular methods of setting up CC environments tho
23:30.23sbromwichif not twenties
23:30.33lattayeah..one of those things i figured out as soon as i hit enter :)

23:33.44zsocSometime's I'm amazed I can even manage to cross compile anything in any environment.
23:34.06sbromwichI have a suspicion the PIII I was using was a bit shonky
23:34.42sbromwichcompiling again on an atom netbook without the rcu call I was dubious about, cross fingers it'll work now
23:36.33zsocTesting unstable services on a production device is actually quite invigorating.

23:44.59sbromwichtry /help
23:45.10rwhitbyShadowhawk: can you get a linux command line on your Pre ?
23:45.53ShadowhawkRwhitby'd suggested I should come here to debug a problem. Not sure how to go about that. Should I try to contact him directly via here? I don't even know whether that's possible or not.
