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.
330CoreBug ReportLowNetworkManager crashes after suspend to RAMUnconfirmed
0%
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.

Task Description opengles and op_power.sh don't like each other very much. whenever returning from low power to full power mode again, opengles rendering is just dead. the reason for this issue are following 2 lines within op_power.sh 18 echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/omapfb/graphics/fb0/blank ... 66 echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/omapfb/graphics/fb0/blank if these lines are removed/commented, the gles rendering just resumes fine.
261CoreTo Do (Reminder)HighOverview of all current KEYBOARD INPUT related issuesUnconfirmed
0%
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!

315CoreBug ReportMediumPairing bluetooth SPP devices doesn't work with XFCEUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description 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: sudo rfcomm connect rfcomm0 00:18:E4:26:5F:14

Task Description If the power cable is plugged and the user chooses "Shutdown Pandora" from a menu, there should be a warning that this is without purpose, as the device will automatically restart. The resulting user choices should be "Cancel shutdown" and "Shutdown nevertheless".
270CoreBug ReportVery LowPower-slider & lid-close events: XFCE observes user set...New
0%
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". RELATED SOURCE CODE FILES (to my knowledge): op_lid.sh op_power.sh op_bright_up.sh op_bright_down.sh
190CoreBug ReportMediumRemoving desktop-shortkeys does not workUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description Try clearing shortcuts in Start->Settings->Window Manager->Keyboard. That doesn't work (for me). This is a problem because these shortcuts are blocking key-combination in apps, like for example the keymapper in dosbox (CTRL+F1) or refreshing content (CTRL+F5). I tried manual editing or even deleting the configuration file, but changes are not recognized and the file recreated on reboot.
291CoreBug ReportMediumroot-owned pndrun_...out file makes PND refuse startingAssigned
0%
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). Seen in SuperZaxxon relese 1.5, not in Beta3 as this task is flagged, but there is no choice besides Beta3.
299CoreBug ReportLowrun_pnd.sh does not follow PXML.xml or "-d"-ParameterAssigned
0%
Task Description I call pnd_run.sh with a pnd. The application directory will invariably be /media/SD/pandora/appdata/, no matter if the PXML.xml specifies a different appdata path. Also, the parameter -d for run_pnd.sh is not followed, either. I tried with vlc.pnd from the app store and with Dosbox74.pnd. UPDATE: Original submission contained a wrong filename reference. Corrected that typo to the filename intended by the submitter. Admin: porg.
329CoreBug ReportLowScreen turns on when LCD closedUnconfirmed
0%
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.

324CoreBug ReportLowSticky keys setting for shift key disabling itself afte...Unconfirmed
0%
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.

300CoreBug ReportLowSuperZaxxon interprets on-disk FAT32 filenames differen...Unconfirmed
0%
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.

336CoreBug ReportMediumTouch screen sensitivity too lowUnconfirmed

Task Description

The touch screen requires to be used with the stylus or another sharp object. Even if I need to click a desktop icon, and could as well use my finger, the touch screen won't react to my finger at all (even if pressed quite hard).

257CoreBug ReportMediumTV Out script breaks XV/SDL Video playbackUnconfirmed
0%
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.

Task Description When a Wireless Network that is dropped because its signal strength isn't that good gets reconnected to, I am being asked to re-input the password for that network. It would be nice if it just used the password I gave to it when it was able to connect without popping up that dialog box.
328CoreBug ReportLowXFCE desktop icons not displayed when logging on too qu...Requires testing
0%
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?

326CoreBug ReportLowXFCE menu not expandingl with stylys and scrolling brok...Unconfirmed
0%
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.

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.
