206 | OpenPandora Development OS | Backend / Core | Feature Request | Low | First Boot Wizard - Controls assignment screen needed | Researching | |
Release 2 (.next) |
Task Description
Since I don't have a Pandora, I used the videos that EvilDragon has shown to discover this issue. Nowhere did I see in the First Boot Wizard that it tells you what the default controls in XFCE does like for example how the mouse moves and clicking using the nubs. It also doesn't tell you what the gaming buttons do (L and R included).
Would be nice to know for first time users. It should also tell a user if they want to change these setting to look at a specific place after the wizard is done. We shouldn't have the users figure the controls and such out by trial and error. When is that ever fun? :) |

293 | OpenPandora Development OS | Backend / Core | Feature Request | Medium | migration to systemd: populate-volatile.sh | Unconfirmed | |
Release 2 (.next) |
Task Description
populating volatile requires execution of initialization script, which I had to minimally modify for it to start working. I am placing that file to /usr/pandora/init/ folder.
Any suggestions for better place for custom init scripts? :)
This script fixes utmp (and pndnotifyd) problem for systemd image
Noticed problems (TODO):
boot sequence recreates cache, run and tmp dirs before populate-volatile inits them. One of the solutions would be to deploy system with symlinks already in place (pointing to /var/volatile subdirs)
-------------
Deployment:
delete:
/etc/init.d/populate-volatile.sh
/etc/rcS.d/S37populate-volatile.sh
/var/{cache,lock,log,run,tmp}
add:
/etc/systemd/system/populate-volatile.service
/usr/pandora/init/populate-volatile.sh
symlink:
/etc/systemd/system/basic.target.wants/populate-volatile.service to /etc/systemd/system/populate-volatile.service

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. |

Release 1 (Zaxxon) |
Task Description
Hi there,
it would be neat if an rc script containing this could be added to the os (and run on startup) :
if [ ! -e /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register ];then
modprobe binfmt_misc
mount -t binfmt_misc none /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc

echo ":squashPND:M::hsqs::/usr/bin/pnd_run:">/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register
That render all the SquashFS executable directy by clicking them on the icon. Sadly there is no way to pass the arguments to the apps (as pnd_run dont support that).
A similar line could be added to support iso pnd. |

Release 1 (Zaxxon) |

Hi,
Upowerd spams each 10 seconds with warning "failed to open file '/proc/timer_stats'".
According to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=826191 this feature can be activated in kernel. I'm not sure if upowerd can be told not to check this feature, I haven't been able to find an specific option for that so far. Activating this option in kernel, this warning should be eliminated.
It would help give upowerd data it needs, and also it will stop filling up the log, which then I guess interferes with power saving (active file access while writing into log...). |

159 | OpenPandora Main OS | Base OS | Bug Report | Medium | System > Run PND Application menu item does nothing | Unconfirmed | |
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.
Still no response with "Run PND Application" menu, though. |

178 | OpenPandora Main OS | Core | Bug Report | Low | Mount-loop when booting from SD-card | Unconfirmed | |
Release 1 (Zaxxon) |
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. |

225 | OpenPandora Main OS | Core | Bug Report | Medium | ads7846 reports odd pressure values | Unconfirmed | |
Release 1 (Zaxxon) |
Task Description
using evdev xorg drivers and not the tslib drivers you can receive pressure axis data however there is
a problem with the values reported by the ads7846 module and the evdev driver has no calibration property for pressure
using
xinput test touchscreen
you can see the pressure axis ranging from 120-ish for hard press to about 150-170 for light press (low pressure values can
be quite erratic)
I could possibly hack the evdev module to possibly do something with this odd and narrow range of values, but I rather think looking
at the source that the ads7846 module needs some work.

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. |

Release 1 (Zaxxon) |
Task Description
Imagine this tab content:
Nubs, Pandora Input, PNDstore.
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. |

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). |

FLAWED BEHAVIOUR:
Copy and paste only works between 2 active applications. This is very limiting!
If you are in the single task oriented MiniMenu you have no chance at all to share the clipboard between apps!
If you are in the multi tasking oriented XFCE desktop environment you can only share between apps running in parallel! Not with apps which started after the source app has been terminated.
DESIRED BEHAVIOUR:
The clipboard content (within reasonable limits of course) should remain, regardless of the source application, so that you can paste at any later moment into any application. |

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. |

261 | OpenPandora Main OS | Core | To Do (Reminder) | High | Overview of all current KEYBOARD INPUT related issues | Unconfirmed | |
Release 1 (Zaxxon) |
Task Description
Built-in keyboard input is a central thing on the Pandora, as it concerns almost all user interfaced apps!
I realized that I myself and also others submitted quite many reports concerning this issue.
Hence this meta issue is intended as an overview/accumulation/aid for those devs who are willing to overwork the whole issue.
If you realize new related issues, feel free to add them here.
If this my effort is contradicting the OpenPandora workflow, then pardon me, and instruct me, how else to handle issues of that kind. Thanks!

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! |

265 | OpenPandora Main OS | Application | Bug Report | Medium | MiniMenu: Flawed tab display of sub-categories if they ... | Unconfirmed | |
Release 1 (Zaxxon) |
Task Description
I assigned personal subcategories to some of my games.
Some of those subcategories share the same beginning string, i.e: Shooter, ShooterBallistic ShooterScoller.
MiniMenu displays those subcategories with flaws! See the ASCII screenshots below.
Note: The star symbols indicate the currently active selection.
The main category tab "Game" being active:
----------------------------------------------------------
| All | Audio | AudioVideo | Education |*Game*| Graphics |
----------------------------------------------------------
ActionGame AdventureGame ArcadeGame BlocksGame ...
Shooter ShooterBallistic ShooterScroller ...
GameA GameB GameC ...
----------------------------------------------------------
Now if I navigate into the sub-category "Shooter", everything normal:
----------------------------------------------------------
|*Shooter*|
----------------------------------------------------------
.. ShooterA ShooterB ShooterC ...
----------------------------------------------------------
But if I navigate to the sub-category "ShooterBallistic", strangely MiniMenu shows 2 tabs, "Shooter" and "ShooterBallistic", and jumps right into "Shooter".
----------------------------------------------------------
|*Shooter*| ShooterBallistic |
----------------------------------------------------------
.. ShooterA ShooterB ShooterC ...
----------------------------------------------------------
In order to reach my intended tab "ShooterBallistic" I need to navigate to it again. Annoying. There the contents are as expected:
----------------------------------------------------------
| Shooter |*ShooterBallistic*|
----------------------------------------------------------
.. ShooterBallisticA ShooterBallisticB ShooterBallisticC
----------------------------------------------------------
The flaw is the same for all other sub-categories beginning with "Shooter...". All have the flaw as shown in the example "ShooterBallistic", only that it is themselves instead of "ShooterBallistic". One more example to be perfectly clear:
----------------------------------------------------------
| Shooter |*ShooterScroller*|
----------------------------------------------------------
.. ShooterScrollerA ShooterScrollerB ShooterScrollerC
---------------------------------------------------------- |

269 | OpenPandora Main OS | Core | Bug Report | Low | Thunar Slow Exit | Unconfirmed | |
Release 1 (Zaxxon) |
Task Description
Thunar takes a long time going back to minimenu on exit. You don't notice this when in XFCE but then you are always in the GUI not returning to it.
This started in Hotfix 6 Alpha4 I believe |

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".
