Application talk:JsTop

2010-01-26T23:14:02Z

Tc:

* On my pre, when I first installed JsTop or upgraded it when it first came up it showed an Item with no name a PID of 9999, -1 nodes, 0 handles and no name. After a luna restart JsTop shows everything fine. [[User:Gkatsev|Gkatsev]] 18:47, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

* JsTop has been working for me for a while, but suddenly now I always see the same thing as reported by GKatsev in the previous comment. Restarting the Pre and deleting/reinstalling the app have no effect. -- unknown commenter

* I really miss the overall memory usage bar, it's what I liked the most, I could monitor the overall memory. Is that coming back in some version soon? Very useful when testing apps on the run like on the train.- [[User:FreeTim|FreeTim]] 13:03, 8 January 2010 (UTC) <BR>
** Something must have changed in 135 to make it no longer function.--[[User:Oil|oil]] 22:11, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
*** 1.3.5 broke counter api, fixed in version 0.0.6 [[User:Azakus|Azakus]] 05:56, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

* Love this app... there doesn't seem to be an icon for this yet? Can I suggest this one: http://www.iconarchive.com/show/aqua-candy-icons-by-mcdo-design/Activity-Monitor-icon.html [[User:Tc|Tc]] 23:07, 26 January 2010 (GMT)

== wake device notification ==

I have to run the garbage collect javascript heap alot, so it would be cool if I could do that from a notification that stayed in the notification bar if I don't need to view all of what's going on in the app

Application talk:Quake

2010-01-26T15:25:28Z

Tc:

This may go under a different development area, but now that Quake and Doom are working on WebOS, there should be a way to connect a Wii remote or PS3 controller to a Pre or Pixi via Bluetooth.

----

I have a problem with the icon for this and the one for Doom: it is much too cartoonish for this game. May I suggest that we use the CC-licensed icons available here:

Nice - love the CC icon suggested - I've updated icon.png on my own Pre and it does look fantastic! --[[User:Tc|Tc]] 15:25, 26 January 2010 (GMT)

Patch webOS Workaround for Touchstone Charging Event Problem

2009-10-29T10:55:19Z

Tc: /* Effect */

{{template:patch}}
This is a workaround for the widely reported problem with Touchstone docks, where when the battery reaches 100%, webOS starts to repeatedly report the 'Charging Battery' notification. The problem is widely believed to be in the Touchstone dock unit itself, and if you're experiencing this problem, I'd strongly recommend you visit the shop where you purchased the Touchstone docks and get a replacement - this is the real solution to the problem!

However, if, like me, you've found that the shop is now completely out-of-stock of good docks because everything they had were faulty, and you want a workaround while you're waiting then this patch is for you. Also, I think this is quite a useful patch to have if you don't trust the Touchstone much any more (but still love it and will continue using it) and want to GUARANTEE a good night's sleep next to your Pre.

This patch was inspired by the patch for [[Patch webOS Disable Charging Event Sounds|Disable Charging Event Sounds]].

= Effect =
* When battery reaches 100%, and the device is charged using the Touchstone dock, the 'Charging Battery' notification will no longer pop up
* Continues to show the notification if battery is not yet at 100% or if not using the dock (i.e. if charging using USB)
* Notice that at 100%, the battery icon in the top-right still flickers between charging and not charging - all this patch does is suppress the notification - it doesn't actually fix the underlying problem which is in the Touchstone dock

Patch webOS Workaround for Touchstone Charging Event Problem

{{template:patch}}
This is a workaround for the widely reported problem with Touchstone docks, where when the battery reaches 100%, webOS starts to repeatedly report the 'Charging Battery' notification. The problem is widely believed to be in the Touchstone dock unit itself, and if you're experiencing this problem, I'd strongly recommend you visit the shop where you purchased the Touchstone docks and get a replacement - this is the real solution to the problem!

However, if, like me, you've found that the shop is now completely out-of-stock of good docks because everything they had were faulty, and you want a workaround while you're waiting then this patch is for you. Also, I think this is quite a useful patch to have if you don't trust the Touchstone much any more (but still love it and will continue using it) and want to GUARANTEE a good night's sleep next to your Pre.

This patch was inspired by the patch for [[Patch webOS Disable Charging Event Sounds|Disable Charging Event Sounds]].

Tc: /* Ansi bugs */

== Bugs: Paste? ==
- Can't seem to figure out how to paste something that was copied from another app/msg/web site. The old paste shortcut of "Gesture + V" doesn't work (because its being used for other things). I tried to "Insert" shortcut, but it didn't do anything.
--[[User:Zinge|Zinge]] 08:58, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

- Tossing in another request to get a solution in for pasting: as it stands there is no way to get some symbols (specifically curly braces) into the terminal - tough to do a rescan :) -- [[User:Flare576|Flare576]] 17:51, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

- I triple the motion. Can we distinguish gesture HOLD from gesture tap? We could then leave gesture HOLD V as paste and use tap and double-tap as activating the special cursor movement etc. currently in place (AWESOME JOB on this app by the way). I also second the motion for needing '{'. This is crippling. Couldn't we just leave access to the normal symbol input by hitting some unused key combo (gesture sym?) then we'd be able to get any symbol we need with a little effort.
[[User:MerlinMM|MerlinMM]]

Running in the emulator on Ubuntu, my desktop zero key gets turned into an at sign. This is the zero along the top just to the right of nine, not the one on the numeric keypad. Is there a way to correct that?

== Ansi bugs ==
Scrolling in BX is fixed. Thanks! terminal is a killer app.

Still have a bug when typing a message in IRC that's long enough to require horizontal scrolling. Instead of scrolling it does weird single-char newlines and status bar is lost.

Also when using arrow keys to move around in vim (with TERM=linux and syntax/color on), what seems to be ansi color code artifacts are printed. Arrows do work, but it's unusable due to artifacts. --[[User:T3rmin|T3rmin]] 18:05, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

There seems to be a problem when scrolling in any direction in nano? After awhile the display is completely ruined with characters all over the screen and no longer tell where you are or what you are editing? Seems to be a repaint issue. Also, nano doesn't seem to use the full width of the screen if I use any of the smaller fonts --[[User:TC|TC]] 19:44, 28 October 2009 (GMT)

== New Version Changelog? ==

The newest version from the feed seems to be 0.1.6. Anybody know what changes have been made? --[[User:Zinge|Zinge]] 19:30, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

== Font Size Feature Request ==
Well done! I notice that there are two fonts, normal and small. Would it be possible to add an intermediate font size? The 40 col is to large for seeing much and the 80 col is far to small. Would it be possible to have a ~60col font? --[[user:Dreadchicken|Dreadchicken]]

: Also, could you add a "large" font size? I don't like the small sizes for little one-line commands (wget, etc). I guess ultimately it'd be nice to have in that combo box a handful of sizes. Thank you so much for the mind-blowing awesomeness of this app, by the way. [[User:Michaelb|Michaelb]] 18:46, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

: Yes, please, an "extremely large" font for those of us whose eyesight is going. Maybe twice the size of the 6x10. --[[User:Lordbah|Lordbah]] 03:51, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

: I agree, larger fonts are an absolute necessity, please add a 10x10 and a 12x12, I can barely read the 8x8 and the 6x10. --[[user:bjrosen|bjrosen]] Oct 8, 2009

== Broadcast messages when phone sleeps/wakes ==

Has anyone figured out how to stop the broadcast messages generated on the Terminal when the phone sleeps and wakes? They clobber whatever's on the screen if you happen to turn off the phone while Terminal is open.

Other than this, great app. I'm eternally grateful. :) --[[User:zorinlynx|zorinlynx]]

I'm not sure if this will help, but there is a quilt patch in the gitorious modification for disabling some messages to the log. http://gitorious.org/webos-internals/modifications/blobs/master/luna/quiet-powerd-messages.patch --[[User:Plee3|plee3]] 21:05, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you! This has resolved the issue. --[[User:Zorinlynx|Zorinlynx]] 21:24, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

== Brackets ==
Any way to enter < or > chars? Kinda tough to dump output to a file without.
--[[User:Daemon|Daemon]]

These characters have not been implemented yet, but as a work-around, you can use tee or tee -a.
--[[User:JackieRipper|JackieRipper]]

==Colors Sticking, and Permissions==
Would it be possible to set the foreground color permanently, so that I don't havve to set it each time I log in?

I've also noticed that when I open the application, sometimes it automatically logs me in as root. How can I disable this?

Thanks for your awesome work!! -[[User:Hopspitfire|hopspitfire]] 05:47, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

I think one solution for disabling root access is to go into
/var/usr/palm/applications/org.webosinternals.terminal/app/controllers
and edit '''session-assistant.js'''
Search for the line that reads
this.termplugin.start("root");
and change 'root' to your username.
[[User:Clebio|Clebio]] 20:57, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

:That worked perfectly! Thank you.
:I'm still having trouble with the colors sticking, now when I change a color in the preferences menu and go back to the terminal, the entire screen freezes (It responds to <orange><sym><r>, but won't show the boot logo as it's shutting down, and ssh responds normally). Is this a bug? -[[User:Hopspitfire|hopspitfire]] 04:13, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
:: I get this too when I try to change preferences. [[User:Michaelb|Michaelb]] 18:51, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
: The problem has been fixed after the new update (0.1.9), THANKS! -[[User:Hopspitfire|hopspitfire]] 21:00, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

It will display nothing that I type, I have tried rebooting the phone with no luck. I did see an message that looked like an error during the install:

Could the offline root mode error above be causing this? I was not in Dev mode when I installed this, should I have been?

==Curved mask blocks text on screen corners==

There used to be padding on the top and bottom of the screen to keep the curved corners of the mojo view from blocking text. Why were they removed? --[[User:Zorinlynx|Zorinlynx]] 02:12, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Can we get an easier way of tabbing? Say sym+period?

: The Treo mapped Shift+Space to tab, which I think is way more convenient than Sym+I (why I?). Is that something the Terminal app on the Pre can mimic? --[[User:Jameslin|Jameslin]] 18:37, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

== On Screen Keyboard? ==

Any plans to integrate or implement something similar to the recently released OSK to the Terminal app? I think it would be very handy for landscape mode. --[[User:Roto|Roto]] 01:27, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

== Limited User? ==

Once there is a limited user account created, it would be nice if the Terminal could be set to use that account instead of root by default, as well as start in the directory /var/home/$USER

I second this, you should never run as root, this is Linux not Windoze. --[[user:bjrosen|bjrosen]] Oct 8, 2009

== Feature Request ==
It would be awesome of the following characters could be implemented:
`
^
{
}
[
]
\
~

Could you provide a programable map for the special keys. You have a two key sequence for ESC which is incredible painful for Emacs users who use CTRL and ESC constantly. I would like to be able to map ESC to the up arrow key and leave CTRL on the Sym key. --[[user:bjrosen|bjrosen]] Oct 8, 2009
