 133 Base OSFeature RequestLow Add TiMidity++ to OS? Closed
100%
Task Description Hey, was just wondering if it would be possible to have TiMidity++ (http://timidity.sourceforge.net/) added with a hotfix, would allow games/ports that use it (the Zelda ports here: http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/54633-zelda-kind-of), zdoom and heretic (I think unless pickles has changed them) and other stuff that uses it to not have to include it in the .pnd and saving SD space... just an idea...

Task Description When the Pandora runs out of memory and the Out-Of-Memory killer fires, the Applications/Settings/xfce4/panel/panels.xml loses the entries for the menu button and the power monitor.
 137 Base OSFeature RequestLow Default vim config Closed
100%
Task Description The current vim install does come without any config file. By default this means vim does work in "vi compatible mode" which makes it hardly usable. The attached config file is meant to be used as ~/.vimrc, so it should be added to "/etc/skel/.vimrc". The file is partly based on the default config used by gentoo. Things this config file sets: * Start in "vim mode" by default * activate ruler * set width of linenumber in ruler * assume that the terminal uses a dark background * configure what hitting backspace removed (newlines, ...) * some magic to have different encoding formats working in a more sane way
138CoreBug ReportLow'del' key (shift+backspace) not workingNew
0%
Task Description The title says everything: The 'del' key does not work. In theory you should have a del "event" when hitting shift+backspace. This is not the case in all progs I tested so far (terminal and default text editor with gui).

Task Description http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/54878-embarassingly-nooby-questions-from-a-new-pandora-owner/page__view__findpost__p__885235 If the user names their Pandora using a space in the name, "This will prevent Xfce from operating correctly". Should trap this when asking for a host name.
 143 CoreBug ReportLow LED triggers timer and heartbeat cause freezing when us ...Closed
100%
Task Description Summary is about all i can dug out now. Somehow related to the PWM driving, because SD, bt and wifi leds work with trigger=timer. NOTE: power and charger leds are driven by PWM (just so you all know what I'm talking about). All i wanted to do was to add blinking power led to low power mode and all i get is a frozen pandora :/.
 144 CoreBug ReportLow Wifi LED does not always get re-activated after enablin ...Closed
100%
Task Description Wifi LED does not always get re-activated after enabling wifi. It seems that the led trigger which ought to be set to [phy0dadio] no longer exists and the phy# seems to increment (up to at least 11 I have observed) If I set the trigger to phy##radio then the notification works again, but I'm not sure of the best way to fix this. I suppose a quick hack to the wl1251-init script is the place to start.

Task Description Might be related to http://bugs.openpandora.org/index.php?do=details&task_id=128 as it have exactly the same behaviours. But this time no translation is involved (masked in my script until this is fixed). And making the file smaller (by removing apps :( ) managed to let it alive, so it seam to be file size related.

Task Description With Thunar 1.1 and OS Zaxon (hotfix 3) : - with detail view - I open Thunar - I click with the stilus to select the SD card - I double click with the stilus to open a folder => click with the stilus doesn't select file/folder anymore (I know it is a known bug, but it is not in the list)

 161 Base OSFeature RequestLow Add ftp to base OS Closed
100%
Task Description Include the netkit-ftp package so the Pandora has at least basic ftp functionality out of the box.
 163 Base OSBug ReportLow DPMS related "display problems" Closed
100%
Task Description Currently it looks like DPMS is active in xorg (eg when using XFCE). DPMS is normally used for stuff like turning the screen off to save energy. There seems to be no way to configure this while in XFCE. So the default xorg server values are used. At the moment the screen is turned off after 10mins of inactivity. Problems with this are a) that the time till it is turned off can not be configured b) after wakeup from such a DPMS related display shutdown the brightness is set to maximum. Solution to this: Deactivate the sleep values via xorg.conf. I am attaching a diff to "[openembedded.git] / recipes / xorg-xserver / xserver-xorg-conf / omap3-pandora / xorg.conf" changing those to "default off".
 164 CoreBug ReportLow Display brightness not restored at booting, HF4beta3 Closed
100%
Task Description The update from Hotfix3 to Hotfix4 beta3 broke restoring of display brightness at boot time. Restoring of brightness after "powersave mode" (aka flipping the power switch for a short time) does work nicely. This might be related to bug #163 ( http://bugs.openpandora.org/index.php?do=details&task_id=163 ) where shutting the display down via DPMS does result in the brightness being lost when getting the display on again. This is related to the desktop mode (XFCE). Don't know if it does happen for minimenu, too, not tested yet.

Task Description This is how it tries to call m4 (strace -fF'd): [pid 4231] execve("/OE/angstrom-dev/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/m4", ["/OE/angstrom-dev/sysroots/x86_64"..., "/usr/share/bison/m4sugar/m4sugar"..., "-", "/usr/share/bison/yacc.c"], [/* 38 vars */]) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) Problem = obvious. This is here because a) it is the bison that i get with opkg install bison and b) because i could find a general purpose bugtracker for stuff in the angstrom repo with a single googling. Added info on bison version, etc: pandora:/media/mmcblk0p3/dev/avrdude-5.6# opkg info bison Package: bison Version: 2.3-r5.0.5 Depends: libc6 Provides: Status: install user installed Section: devel Architecture: armv7a MD5Sum: c8e62fa82a96e9bba4c014c4345062ed Size: 181368 Filename: bison_2.3-r5.0.5_armv7a.ipk Description: GNU Project parser generator (yacc replacement).

178CoreBug ReportLowMount-loop when booting from SD-cardUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description When booting the pandora-OS from sd-card by using the official tar, you will end up with your sd-card being mounted twice: once as / and once as /media/. I solved this by adding "/dev/mmcblk0" to "/etc/udev/mount.blacklist". Maybe this should be added to the default tarball? I'm not sure as it might be used in other ways maybe (beside SD-card-installation)? Background: I ran "updatedb" as root and have been notified by a message that there was a mount-loop. After adding the above modification the system still booted fine and "updatedb" ran nicely without a warning.
179CoreBug ReportLow.vimrc-preset for user but not for rootUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description I am running PandoraOS from sd-card installed with the official tarball "pandora-rootfs.tar.bz2". I noticed that the control/keyboard-mapping in vi does not work correctly after switching to root (for example sudo su-). I solved this by copying over my users .vimrc to root-homedir. This should already be included in the tarball.
 181 ApplicationBug ReportLow Triple click in Thunar crash Closed
100%
Task Description Triple tapping (with the stylus) a directory in Thunar in icon or compact mode (not detail view) causes Thunar to close (crash) This is consistently repeatable: tapping three times in rapid succession on the same spot of the file causes the crash. It must be the exact same spot, as if double clicking, but a third tap is added. This can be triggered especially when a user becomes frustrated at mistapping, gets carried away, and taps too much.
185CoreBug ReportLowXorg driver should not be dependant on user environmentUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description The patch implementing screen blanking uses the /usr/pandora/scripts/op_lid.sh script to control LCD backlit: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=openembedded.git;a=blob;f=recipes/xorg-driver/xf86-video-omapfb/pandora_backlight_dim.patch;h=4a0b8432d083c6e7297192a2920c7a777ae3d098;hb=16f3fff44323bd6b4349d909667b51a2fef3f278 The same result can be achieved by using the sys interface: /sys/devices/platform/twl4030-pwm0-bl/backlight/twl4030-pwm0-bl/bl_power This approach makes driver independent on particular distribution. The proposed patch is attached.

Task Description The Date and Time application in MiniMenu by won't let you use the cross or the cancel button to close the application without changing anything. If you use one of those buttons then a new window opens that says: "Error: Please select a timezone" and equally so for the date and time.

 212 CoreFeature RequestLow Add curl to core installed programs Closed
100%
Task Description I wish for curl to be installed by default on the upcoming pandora FWs, As reported by the angstrom repo, where I install using the command: $sudo su ... #opkg update #opkg install curl curl 7.21.2-r4.0.9 is 78.57 Kilobytes with the dependencies Depends:libcurl4, libgnutls26, libgcrypt11, libgpg-error0, libc6, libz1 I do not know which is installed by default, but I'm sure libc6 is, so I'm going to state the info on the rest of the packages for its memory space usage on the NAND libcurl4(142.99 Kilobytes): Command line tool and library for client-side URL transfers. Depends:libc6, libgnutls26, libz1, libgcrypt11, libgpg-error0, as you can see, it has the same dependencies as above, so it seems both curl and libcurl are probably exclusive from the others, but I will go forward and state the rest of the dependencies libgnutls26 2.8.6-r10.0.5 (291.44 Kilobytes) Depends:libz1, libgcrypt11, libgpg-error0, libc6, (again, it looks like the above depends on this) libgcrypt11 1.4.1-r0.9 (220.35 Kilobytes) Depends: libgpg-error0, libc6, (Oh look, we're not looking at libz1 anymore) libgpg-error0 1.4-r7.1.9 (5.78 Kilobytes) Depends:libc6 now to the lone libz1 libz1 1.2.3-r7.0.9 (41.95 Kilobytes) Depends:libc6 So, in the case we already have the gpg stuff, then the installation is only 221.56KB, however, with the zlib and the gpg included, the total comes to 781.08KB So, now that the cost is out of the way, What are the goods and bads? Good: Its a very versatile CLI program to get and send information over http through the network, and is tolerant of network issues It doesn't take too much space relative to things that have been pulled out, like abiword. The libcurl is a very good library, and could be of great benefit to some future projects. Bad: Well, we already have wget, which is not as configurable, and wget hates Craig's appstore Here's the link to curl on the repo http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo/?pkgname=curl
 213 ApplicationBug ReportLow Gigolo does not perform it's task Closed
100%
Task Description In it's current state, Gigolo is flat out broken and (almost) useless. It pretends to to it's job, but can't because it's missing critical pieces of anatomy. It can mount local filesystems correctly, but then so can thunar, so this is a redundant and useless function. The main reason to use Gigolo is to mount remote filesystems easily, and without having to use the terminal, and to save passwords in your keychain. The solution to the problem is to perform the following tasks: sudo opkg install gvfsd-sftp sshfs-fuse sudo mousepad /etc/modutils/fuse type "fuse" save and quit sudo update-modules

 220 CoreFeature RequestLow Please include /usr/bin/xkbset Closed
100%
Task Description One of the first things after installing HF5 was downloading xkbset, because it is necessary for proper L-R buttons mapping as mouse buttons. Could you please include that in the system? I am using urjaman's executable from here: http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/55124-remapping-the-mouse-buttons-etc/page__st__15__p__896576&#entry896576 Even better would be a GUI that allows mapping of L-R buttons for mouse, just like GUI for nubs :) But including xkbset will be already good.

When fn then the corresponding character is pressed, nothing is added to the string. Expected results - these characters should appear just like any other character Work Around - an external keyboard was able to enter these characters Aditional Information - While the characters :?#|$€"‘£¥@!_ do not work, the characters ;/\'-+=`() work just fine.

Task Description If you hit the function button, then hit it again to lock the function keys, it doesn't lock the function key. The delete key, hold shift and hit the back space button, it won't delete, meaning it won't remove the character to the right of the cursor. I saw this on the forum, and confirmed it on my pandora also.
 228 CoreBug ReportLow libpnd must be linked to libstdc++ Closed
100%
Task Description Run "ldd -r /usr/lib/libpnd.so.1", and a number of undefined symbols are listed. These become a problem when attempting to load libpnd in Python. I imagine it could be a problem when attempting to load libpnd in other languages as well. This can be worked around with "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libstdc++.so" before running a Python program that loads libpnd. But it can be worked around more easily by linking libstdc++ during compile. Adding "-lstdc++" to line 41 of libpnd's Makefile does it. I'd add a patch, but the attach file button isn't working for me. Still, a simple fix, right?

100%
Task Description The touchscreen is accurate in the middle of the screen but precision is off by one or more mm near the edges of the screen. Recalibrating and rebooting does not help. Seems like this is just a permission problem - tslib saves calibration data to /etc/pointercal which is noch writeable for the regular user. Changing permission on that file to 666 solves this, but i guess starting the calibration tool with root permission (gksu?) would be a better solution.

 235 CoreBug ReportLow File /tmp/currentuser cannot be deleted by other users Closed
100%
Task Description The system creates a file /tmp/currentuser at the first login of a user. After logging out and in as another user the file still contains the previous user name. An cannot be deleted/overwritten by the new user. Steps To Reproduce: At least two users are available and have XFCE GUI enabled. 1. Login as user (eg. guest), a file /tmp/currentuser is created (containing guest) 2. Log out 3. Log in as another user (eg. jgeiss), the file still contains the old name 4. Change GUI to PMenu 5. Log out 6. Log in as first user (guest) Now the first user (guest) has PMenu as GUI which was set by the second user (jgeiss). Maybe the permission should be 0666 for this file?
236CoreBug ReportLowCannot unmount SD-CardUnconfirmed

Task Description SD-Card in Pandora can only be unmounted by guest (uid=1000) but not by jgeiss (uid=1001). Steps To Reproduce: Insert SD-Card (or boot with SD-Card inserted), Login as jgeiss (uid=1001), Try to unmount SD-Card via XFCE-Popup-Menu (right mouse click on SD-Card-Icon and select unmount).
238ApplicationFeature RequestLowQuick key access to OK in dialoguesUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: In many GUI dialogues the default action button (OK, ACCEPT, YES, …) cannot be triggered with a simple key press. Pressing ENTER triggers the element which has focus (usually the first dialogue element), but not the default action, as most computer users would expect! MY WORKAROUND MEANWHILE: Press ALT plus the underlined letter of your desired action. But that's not very convenient as the underlined letter needs to be looked upon first, as the button label can differ from situation to situation (ACCEPT, OK, YES, …) and then 2 keys need to be pressed. SUGGESTED SOLUTION: The custom of many operating systems should be adapted on the OpenPandora as well. SPACE triggers the currently focused element (whatever that may be: list item, radio button, checkbox, etc), and ENTER triggers the default action of that dialogue. Or even better use the Pandora specific A/B/Y/X keys cleverly in those dialogues/selections. I don't know whether there is a standard functionality assignment within this key-group, in MiniMenu "B" is start/confirm, I do not know of any other standard assignments yet.
