185 | OpenPandora Main OS | Core | Bug Report | Low | Xorg driver should not be dependant on user environment | Unconfirmed | |
Release 1 (Zaxxon) |
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. |

Release 1 (Zaxxon) |
Task Description
The XFCE menu does not always show submenues like "Emulators" when being clicked on with the stylus. It only works if the click lasts long or after all menues have been clicked at once with a long click.
Also, tipping on a scroll arrof of menues that are higher than the screen causes the click to be registered as a "click and hold". This leads to the menu being scrolled all the way to the end. |

328 | OpenPandora Main OS | Core | Bug Report | Low | XFCE desktop icons not displayed when logging on too qu... | Requires testing | |
Release 1 (Zaxxon) |
Task Description
It looks like XFCE cannot find the icons for links/launchers on the desktop, when the user logs on too quickly. This happens either when the session chooser at start-up is disabled, or when the session is being chosen quickly after the session chooser is being displayed (e.g. by pressing enter as soon as the chooser window pops up). The icons are probably not generated yet at that time point.
A simple workaround is adding the command "xfdesktop --reload" to autostart. Couls this be included in the next SuperZaxxon release or a hotfix? |

Task Description
This seems to be the case with Hot-fix 5 and 6 alpha 4.
I've been able to repeat this bug by re-flashing..
On a fresh re-flash.. installed community codec pack.. Videos will play fine on Panplayer, VLC and Gnome-Mplayer with default settings, which I believe is XV or SDL out in the case of VLC.
Run the TV-out script it will cause a blank black screen during playback.. Disabling TV-out, switching modes, rebooting.. battery out, nothing seems to allows it to work with XV/SDL out again.. I know If I switch to X11 it will make it "work" again, but I notice a bit of lag during playback using X11 compared to XV/SDL out. |

Release 1 (Zaxxon) |
Task Description
With both Hotfix 3 and Hotfix 4 Beta the Run PND Application menu item fails to do anything.
Possibly related problem is that PND files newly copied to SD card are not recognized and entered on desktop as expected.
When you go to Thunar and right click - execute the PND file, nothing happens.
Possible fix by copying the PND to another folder on the SD card with Thunar.
This makes at least two PND files I had work.

300 | OpenPandora Main OS | Core | Bug Report | Low | SuperZaxxon interprets on-disk FAT32 filenames differen... | Unconfirmed | |
Release 1 (Zaxxon) |
Task Description
With SuperZaxxon Final, I've noticed that stuff running on the Pandora like Thunar and bash are seeing a different interpretation of filenames on disk than when I remove the SD card and insert it into my desktop PC.
Specifically, the following two mismatches appear to be present when using a FAT32-formatted SD card:
First, the Pandora's VFAT support seems to be be operating with different case-handling settings than desktop Linux distros.
Filenames set in all uppercase are forced to all-lowercase on the Pandora (whether they're set on the desktop or the Pandora) but inserting the card into a PC reveals that the. All-lowercase filenames set by software on the Pandora risk appearing in all uppercase when the card is inserted into a PC. (I think the grsync PND is what created the files in question)
Among other things, this forces me to use EITHER the PND-based copy of grsync over the network OR a desktop-based copy of rsync with an SD card reader but not both because the kernel will preserve case differences like ALBION.BAT vs. albion.bat but rsync think they are separate files. (resulting in Flash-killing, time-wasting deletion and re-creation)
It also makes for irritating entries like "zzt" in DOSBox or "ddr" in PyDance where I can't capitalize the filename properly without employing Department of Redundancy Department with "DDR Songs" or "ZZT.The.Game" as an excuse for mixed case.
Second, SuperZaxxon Final seems to be using a different (though still Unicode-capable) filename encoding than all the desktop distros I've tried.
Filenames are preserved properly and all-ASCII filenames are displayed properly in all cases, but any non-ASCII characters appear as gibberish on whichever system was not used to set them.
I've confirmed this problem with these two filenames:
- 03 - The Foggy Dew with Sinéad O'Connor.flac
- Lucky Star - Native Misao (Touhou - Native Faith) ???????????????????×??????.mp4
As a Canadian user, my desktops use the "en_CA.utf8" locale and the only other distros I've found which have this problem are Slax and the 1.0 release of its successor, Porteus, both of which use ISO-8859-1 (latin1) for filenames. |

123 | OpenPandora Main OS | Base OS | Feature Request | Low | Suggestions for the Pandora-Button | New | |
All |
Task Description
My suggestion instead of a full menu, would be to have a tiny overlay over the current running application which allows you to:
- relogin (to close all running applications)
- quit (stop the active application)
- shows the last notifications / toaster messages which you missed while being in a fullscreen app.
- possibly even something like plugin support or icons to check out the wifi-strength etc. from fullscreen apps.
Implementation wise this could possibly be done using
- a topmost window and the same content rendered in screenspace in a GLES hook (which should draw over most applications)
or
- one of the DSS2 overlays maybe
It's definitely something to consider as it was requested on the forums a few times (~"xbox like menu in games"). |

329 | OpenPandora Main OS | Core | Bug Report | Low | Screen turns on when LCD closed | Unconfirmed | |
Release 1 (Zaxxon) |
Task Description
Issue: The screen accidentally turns on even when the lid is closed.
How to reproduce: "Screen blanking" must be enabled! Close the lid, wait more than 10 minutes, tap either shoulder button. This behaviour happens whether on charge or battery, at the desktop or running an application, provided that the "screen blanking" option is enabled.
Desired outcome: When the Pandora comes out of "screen blanking", it should restore the brightness to the same value that it was before blanking. |

Task Description
If a PND has been run as root before (using pnd_run.sh from a root shell) and afterwards it is invoked the normal way, the PND doesn't start, because the .out file cannt be overwritten:
/usr/pandora/scripts/pnd_run.sh: line 26: /tmp/pndrun_firefox.out: Permission denied
Desired solution:
.out file is silently overwitten.
Maybe, if that's not possible, create another .out file with a different name (added counter, for example).

238 | OpenPandora Main OS | Application | Feature Request | Low | Quick key access to OK in dialogues | Unconfirmed | |
Release 1 (Zaxxon) |
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. |

242 | OpenPandora Main OS | Application | Feature Request | Medium | Pressing SHIFT + any key in sequence creates the modifi... | Unconfirmed | |
Release 1 (Zaxxon) |
Task Description
ISSUE ENVIRONMENT:
If you hold your Pandora in your hands, you only have your thumbs for typing, hence your typing abilities are quite limited.
It is hard to press more than 2 keys, and hard to press 2 keys on the same side, as your second thumb does not reach the opposite side all too easy (except you have a basketball player's hands).
The modifier keys Start/ALT Select/CTRL Pandora/(META, I guess?) are in the middle of the keyboard, hence the can easily pressed together with another key. But SHIFT lies at an ergonomically problematic side (left boundary). Hence hard to press with other left side keys.
SUGGESTED SOLUTION:
I suggest that Pandora OS offers an optional and configurable input help.
[1|2|3 presses | hold for duration x] SHIFT [timeout y] [modifier key 2] [timeout z] key
Produces the same result like SHIFT + modkey2 + key
Very likely modifier key 2 and timeout z are not necessary, as you can trigger the SHIFT hold (by your defined action), and then press the modifier key 2 and the other key at once, as the other modifier keys are laid at a central (ergonomically better) position. |

270 | OpenPandora Main OS | Core | Bug Report | Very Low | Power-slider & lid-close events: XFCE observes user set... | New | |
Release 1 (Zaxxon) |
Task Description
STATUS QUO:
If you are in XFCE and hold the power slider for 3 seconds, you thereby trigger the shutdown command.
For 3 more seconds a dialogue box gives you the chance to abort the shutdown ("Shutting down in 3…2…").
Now in MiniMenu no direct shutdown key is available. You first have to quit the running app (via PANDORA key), then call up the menu (via SELECT key), and then navigate to "Shutdown" and confirm it (by B or ENTER).
INQUIRED BEHAVIOR:
1) Thanks to the very recent MiniMenu speedups, these 4 consecutive user interaction steps can now at least be be executed a lot faster.
Nevertheless, offering a 1-button-interaction (via power slider) too, would be nice. Could you please make that available to MiniMenu?
And in general: Make this power-slide-event available to any possible GUI, so that not each GUI has to implement this by itself, but rather the OS catches this event and handles it uniformly, except if a certain GUI WANTS to establish an exception to the rule.
2) Also the "Lid-Close-Settings" seem to be ignored by MiniMenu. MiniMenu seems to have the action "Turn off screen" hardcoded to that event. Please make MiniMenu observe the user settings from "Lid-Close-Settings".

Hi, sadly the XFCE bluetooth manager seems to have problems with pairing simple SPP devices (an BT GPS mouse here).
1. Enable BT
2. BT Manager -> Add new device
3. Confirm Dialog and wait for scanning
4. Pick device
5. Select PIN options -> "0000" (here for me)
In next step the dialog still asks you to enter a random PIN at your BT device (which is impossible here).
Thus it seems, that the XFCE dialog makes troubles, I tried it with 2 different GPS. Pairing the GPS manually works fine:

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/.

CURRENT BEHAVIOR:
Pressing "P" and "N" is succession jumps to "Nubs" eventually, as it first jumps to the first "P" item ("Pandora Input"), then to the first "N" item, "Nubs".
DESIRED BEHAVIOR:
That it acts like in most Linux file browsers or the Mac OS X Finder.
In detail: Pressing "P" and "N" within a certain time limit should combine them to the string "PN" and jump to the first item which starts with that string, i.e. "PNDStore". If no item matches, reduce the combination string by one character, try to match again, if that doesn't match, try matching again with one character less, ... , until only one character is left, and if that one doesn't match jump to the nearest previous lexicographical character, which matches. |

262 | OpenPandora Main OS | Application | Bug Report | Medium | MiniMenu: 1) "Notes line" cannot be deleted. 2) Note li... | Unconfirmed | |
Release 1 (Zaxxon) |
Task Description
Steps to reproduce the bug(s):
1) In MiniMenu select an arbitrary app.
2) Press SPACE to bring up the contextual menu.
3) Select "Edit notes line 1".
4) Insert your string and confirm.
5) Now at a later time you may decide to remove your note line again. Therefore you select the same app again in MiniMenu, then repeat steps 2-3, but this time:
a) Erase all characters so that you get an empty string and then confirm. RESULT: Your change is simply ignored! There should be a possibility within MiniMenu to remove/reset note lines, the simplest being to simply accept an empty string as an input, that's what an average user will try if s/he does not find a dedicated "Delete note line" command.
b) As a workaround I tried something and detected yet another bug! As I could not create an empty string, I simply created a note line only containing 1 SPACE character (=the string " ") and confirmed. This got accepted.
If MiniMenu is in detailed view mode (press the A-button or TAB in order to bring it up, if it is not already there) and you slide over an app whose note line is " ", MiniMenu crashes!
Maybe the bug is connected with the writing to / the parsing from the .OVR (override) files which MiniMenu creates for the affected files, as the separating value in OVR files seems to be TAB, and SPACE is also WHITESPACE, therefore some parsers probably skip/misinterpret this, and MiniMenu then catches an unexpected situation!
WORKAROUND: If you ran into the problem, that you cannot get rid of the note lines anymore, simply start a file browser of your choice, navigate to the location of the affected .PND file and find its sister .OVR (override) file and delete it or edit it accordingly! |

260 | OpenPandora Main OS | Core | Bug Report | Medium | Low Power Mode: Input (keyboard, nub) still taken. Appl... | Unconfirmed | |
Release 1 (Zaxxon) |
Task Description
This is the related documentation:
http://pandorawiki.org/Power_modes#Low_Power
(Please update accordingly as part of the issue resolution)
FROM MY USER EXPERIENCE:
If you put the Pandora into Low Power Mode, then press some keys, and then wake the Pandora back into Normal Mode, your input (both keys and nubs, haven't tried with USB input yet) seem to have triggered something while the device was in Low Power Mode!
What does really happen in Low Power Mode concerning execution and input?
a) Input is received AND triggers as application execution continues
or
b) Kernel/driver queues the input signals into a buffer, and executes them on wake?
If supposition a) or b) is true, then this would be one more reason to properly implement: FS#259
OBSERVANCE EXAMPLE 1:
1) Start MiniMenu. Mentally note down your active tab.
2) Put Pandora to Low Power Mode.
3) Press shoulder button R once.
4) Wake Pandora to Normal Mode. You are now one tab to the right of where you left. Input must have been caught in Low Power Mode, but wether execution of it happened while Low Power Mode or later after wake in Normal power Mode is unclear.
OBSERVANCE EXAMPLE 2:
1) Start gedit (a text editor). Insert the digit "1".
2) Put Pandora to Low Power Mode.
3) Press: CTRL-N 2 CTRL-N 3 CTRL-N 4. (Without the spaces)
4) Wake Pandora to Normal Mode.
5) For a fraction of a second you see the tabs building up. Either the input was really received AND executed while Low Power Mode and what you see is just a delayed window manager refreshment, or the input was queued in Low Power Mode, and only executed on wake. |

222 | OpenPandora Main OS | Application | Bug Report | Low | Login Screen does not accept all symbols of the form Fn... | Unconfirmed | |
Release 1 (Zaxxon) |
Task Description
Problem - Login Screen does not accept all symbols of the form Fn+char
Reproducibility - always
Actual results - the characters :?#|$€"‘£¥@!_ do not work on the Login Screen with the Pandora's keyboard. When fn then the corresponding character is pressed, nothing is added to the string.
Expected results - these characters should appear just like any other character
Work Around - an external keyboard was able to enter these characters
Aditional Information - While the characters :?#|$€"‘£¥@!_ do not work, the characters ;/\'-+=`() work just fine. |

244 | OpenPandora Main OS | Application | Feature Request | Low | Include man and the manpages | Unconfirmed | |
Release 1 (Zaxxon) |
Task Description
The command line environment of the default OS does not include the command "man" and the respective manpages of the installed programs.
I personally often use manpages, as I hardly remember the syntax/arguments of all programs I use.
Having them would be very convenient!
EVALUATING NEEDED STORAGE AMOUNT
Some may argue that storage space is quite limited on the NAND.
Yes I agree. Hence the number of included programs is limited too. Hence it would not be all too many manpages.
When I press TAB into an empty Terminal prompt, I get 1406 possibilities, which is about the amount of available commands/programs if we ignore aliases, etc.
Multiply that with an average of 20 kb per manpage, and you get about 30 MB in total. With compression this could possibly be brought down to 15-20 MB.
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
A) Store into the NAND the manpages of core OS CLI programs only, and not all the library/system/etc documentation.
B) Include only the man command into the core OS, and compile/configure it in such a fashion, that it finds the manpages within non-NAND media (SD card, USB volume, etc).
b1) Specify that it simply looks into a certain path within the /media/*/pandora/ structure.
b2) Or offer PND packages like man-core.pnd, man-extended.pnd,... you get the idea or even man-custom.pnd (which would look into its appdata or a certain path for custom added manpages, to somehow get the b1 approach within the PND approach). |

325 | OpenPandora Main OS | Core | Bug Report | Low | Impossible to not set password at first boot | Unconfirmed | |
Release 1 (Zaxxon) |
Task Description
The Wiki states that the Pandora can be used without setting a user password on first boot. But when the password and password confirmation field are left empty, an error pops up saying that there is a password missmatch.
(Please don't fix this bug by just changing the statement in the Wiki ;-) |

124 | OpenPandora Main OS | Base OS | Bug Report | Low | ifup doesn't like dhclient | Unconfirmed | |
Release 1 (Zaxxon) |
Task Description
I added:
iface usb0 inet dhcp
And ran:
ifup usb0
But dhclient simply prints usage. |

331 | OpenPandora Main OS | Core | Bug Report | Medium | Hold switch key continuously sends X11 KeyPress events ... | Unconfirmed | |
Release 1 (Zaxxon) |
Task Description
When put into Hold mode, X11 handles the power switch as if it's being pressed, and it generates lots of keypress events, passing them to the foreground application. Since /dev/input/eventX does not seem to continuously trigger, I'm guessing it's due to key repeat.
To reproduce:
- Install xev and open it in the terminal
- Put the power key in HOLD mode
- Notice the "time" value changing rapidly
In addition to causing more work to X, it also floods the active application with key presses, resulting in increased CPU usage. In my test, switching to HOLD while Firefox is in the foreground causes it to use 6% CPU and X an additional 2.5%.
In addition, the key-press events continue even after the switch is taken off HOLD until another key is pressed.
A possible solution to this is to blacklist the power-button event device, to prevent evdev from listening to it (the key is handled by pndevmapperd). |

290 | OpenPandora Main OS | Core | Bug Report | Medium | gnome-mount not available | Unconfirmed | |
Release 1 (Zaxxon) |
Task Description
In GTK applications, such as Truecrypt, NoteCase Pro or Mousepad, the file open / file save dialogs have shortcuts to mounted file systems on the left side.
If clicking such a shortcut entry, the corresponding file system's contents are shown in the right dialog pane.
This works for file systems, which were available at boot time.
For file systems mounted after booting, e.g. by inserting an SD card or connecting a USB drive, when clicking such an entry, an error message appears saying
"Could not mount [volumen name]
Failed to execute child process 'gnome-mount' (No such file or directory)"
This is healed by
sudo opkg install gnome-mount
(which instals gnome-mount, nautilus, gvfsd-ftp, gvfs (upgrade), and a lot of libs (upgrades)..
This has been seen in SuperZaxxon release 1.5, not in Beta3 (but Beta3 is the only choice in Flyspray's dropdown currently).
I reported that error for HF6 I think, and it seemed to be fixed in SuperZaxxon Beta5. A regression? |

204 | OpenPandora Main OS | Core | Bug Report | Medium | fonts issues | Unconfirmed | |
Release 1 (Zaxxon) |
Task Description
Ok, I just want to say that there is something missing about the font on the base image. I cant get what (at least for now)
Here is an issue : http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/54282-getting-vnc-viewer-to-work/
With my current Ogre build I get :
Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font
Error: Aborting: no font found
I've googled but so far no solution :( |

250 | OpenPandora Main OS | Application | Feature Request | Medium | File Browser Thunar - Trashing file crosses filesystem ... | Researching | |
Release 2 (.next) |
Task Description
Trashing a file/folder seems to MOVE it to a certain trash directory on the MAIN VOLUME, rather then the ORIGINATING VOLUME, hence this can result in a COPY RATHER THAN A MOVE operation, if the trashed file originates from a filesystem other than the main filesystem!
This is very inefficient and faulty as it is:
a) Very time consuming
b) And in case of large files this operation can even fail due to not enough free space on the main volume. |
