250 | Application | Feature Request | Medium | File Browser Thunar - Trashing file crosses filesystem ... | Researching | |
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. |

If you boot the system with the lid closed, the backlight will still be on when you get to the desktop. You have to lift the lid for an instant and then close again to shut it off.

155 | Core | Bug Report | Medium | Critical problems after rescaling GLES2 X windows | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
When a X window which is displaying GLES2 render output is:
- Either dragged out of the visibile screen region (?)
- Is made larger than it was at the creation time of the GLES2 context
then:
- The performance will drop significantly as the EGL buffer swaps won't occur as fast as before,
- The render output will be corrupted and flicker
- In rare occasions crashes the application or locks up the entire system (which forces you to remove the battery)
The problem can not be solved without restarting the application (Possibly forcing players to complete the same goals again as they were unable to reach a savepoint or similar things).
This was confirmed in Mupen64Plus and the PowerVR GLES Samples and some of my own projects (which are, however, based on the PowerVR samples).
As I didn't see any other reports about this problems (but had it confirmed by other Pandora users too) I would expect that it can be fixed by using a newer X, kernel or combination of them as other OMAP users would be effected too. |

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.

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)?

260 | Core | Bug Report | Medium | Low Power Mode: Input (keyboard, nub) still taken. Appl... | Unconfirmed | |
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. |

262 | Application | Bug Report | Medium | MiniMenu: 1) "Notes line" cannot be deleted. 2) Note li... | Unconfirmed | |
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! |

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 |
----------------------------------------------------------

Shooter ShooterBallistic ShooterScroller ...

----------------------------------------------------------
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*|

270 | Core | Bug Report | Very Low | Power-slider & lid-close events: XFCE observes user set... | New | |
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".

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]

This is healed by

This has been seen in SuperZaxxon release 1.5, not in Beta3 (but Beta3 is the only choice in Flyspray's dropdown currently).

300 | Core | Bug Report | Low | SuperZaxxon interprets on-disk FAT32 filenames differen... | Unconfirmed | |
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. |

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:
sudo rfcomm connect rfcomm0 00:18:E4:26:5F:14 |

320 | Core | Bug Report | Low | Bluetooth connection lost after wake-up from sleep mode | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
When an internet connection was established through a mobile phone (Android, tethering) via bluetooth, the internet connection will not be re-established when the Pandora was sent to sleep and woken up again. The Pandora seems to be connected to the mobile phone, but no internet connection can be established, not even when manually trying to connect. The only way out is to disable bluetooth and enable it again.
I had similar problems with WiFi, before notaz tweaked the system (http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php/topic/11416-wifi-mysteries-resolved-once-and-for-all-—-power-saving-is-clearly-the-culprit/?p=249036). |

324 | Core | Bug Report | Low | Sticky keys setting for shift key disabling itself afte... | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
The sticky keys option is disabling itself for the shift key. It continues to work with the left shoulder button though.
Unfortunately I have no idea what triggers the sticky option to be disabled. Sometimes it happens after 1-2 minutes, sometimes it takes longer.
I would also like to point out that using the shoulder button instead of the shift button it _not_ an option! This issue has been reported in the forums, but apperantly was never fixed. |

325 | Core | Bug Report | Low | Impossible to not set password at first boot | Unconfirmed | |
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 ;-) |

326 | Core | Bug Report | Low | XFCE menu not expandingl with stylys and scrolling brok... | Unconfirmed | |
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 | Core | Bug Report | Low | XFCE desktop icons not displayed when logging on too qu... | Requires testing | |
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? |

329 | Core | Bug Report | Low | Screen turns on when LCD closed | Unconfirmed | |
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. |

330 | Core | Bug Report | Low | NetworkManager crashes after suspend to RAM | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
Suspend to RAM uses less power than the low power mode, but the NetworkManager crashes often after the Pandora woke up from suspend to RAM.
This could be fixed with an update of NetworkManager. |

331 | Core | Bug Report | Medium | Hold switch key continuously sends X11 KeyPress events ... | Unconfirmed | |
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). |
