wget http://gitorious.org/webos-internals/applications/blobs/raw/db385edfa3f71ceb98401c16dd94b2490bfaaae5/org.webosinternals.services/org.webosinternals.services-0.4_all.ipk
ipkg install org.webosinternals.services-0.4_all.ipk

The reason why you have such a weird string in that wget command is because that proof-of-concept org.webosinternals.services code has been removed from the webos-internals git repository due to it being a *huge* security vulnerability.

If you install that service, you effectively allow any rogue webos application to do anything it wants on your Pre, such as taking your web access bank account username and password and emailing it to someone who wants to steal your identity.

Anyone who has installed this service must remove it immediately.

It looks like instead of just removing it from the visible set of files in the git repository, I'm going to need to actually modify the history of the git repository to remove this problem.

Oh, and for those interested, the open source LED-Service should be able to satisfy your immediate needs as a replacement for the webosinternals service

This is a little off topic but how do you know if webosinternals is installed on your pre? I know with the original flashlight or tether it was a requirement but I think it removed it. If it is installed how do you remove it?

in commandline enter:

Code:

/bin/mount -o remount,rw /
ipkg remove org.webosinternals.services
/bin/mount -o remount,ro /

You need to bootstrap optware to use ipkg-opt. See the WebOS Internals wiki for more details.

Okay im sorry im new to this i am complelty lost i just got the pre ..so how do i do this?

^with all the quirks with this (like it doesn't work when the screen is off), you are probably better off waiting until 1.2 is officially released. It sounds like there's more of a working light that you can set up and you won't have to undo this once its released.

You no longer need this. Just open up your Preware and installed LED NOtifications under the patches

enjoy
