83 | Base OS | Bug Report | Low | getting more /media/mmcblk?p1 | Closed | |
Task Description
From a conversation with skeezix:
I'm seeing /media/mmcblk0p1, mmcblk1p1, mmcblk2p1, mmcblk3p1 and mmcblk4p1 - is that something I should worry about? This started after I inserted & ejected my sd card a couple of times.
To which skeezix said:
The system starts at /media/mmcblk0 (with p1 ec being the partition number); if you eject the SD, then stick it back in, it will try to go to the earlier number again, but if some process was watching that SD when you ejected it, the system will nto be able to recycle that number, so you get the next blk number. So if you end up with /media/mmcblk5p1 (say), then it means you've been eject/inserting, and some program or another has been watching the SD instead of letting it go.
Isn't it nicer to cleanup the ones above 1 (so 0 and 1 are there) at startup to avoid confusion? |

86 | Base OS | Feature Request | Very Low | Including small development frameworks/projects in the ... | Closed | |
Task Description
It could be nice, if some very small development frameworks were included in the OS since the Pandora should make it as easy as possible for beginners to start programming.
That means: A "Start coding now"-wizard/script can be run from the desktop from which you select the type of project (c++, python, SDL...) you want to do. It copies the framework to SD-Card, opens it in an editor/IDE to see the sourcecode and leads you to the first compile and run. Can be combined with a PND-Packer-script.
Ideas for frameworks:
- a small python template (pygame?)
- a template project for an SDL-project (red square in fullscreen)
- a template project for OpenGL ES (a simple colored triangle)
- a template project for using NEON or DSP
- something with a GUI (QT?)
- general HelloWorlds
- all as simple as possible!
I know that this could help many beginners to actually start programming because the first compile is often hardest step (setting up toolchain, hassle with libs, includes, dependencies, compiler options, choice of editor, makefiles, all that stuff).
Feel free to delete this feature request if it doesn't fit into the bugtracker. |

73 | Base OS | Feature Request | Medium | Nub: Change mouse speed, fix scrolling and add mouse bu ... | Closed | |
Task Description
Currently the nubs can be set to three different modes:
mouse, scroll and absolute
Mode 1 (mouse) works fine, but the speed is a bit slow.
Mode 2 (scroll) has inverted scrolling and it would be nice if scrolling speed would change according to how far you move it
Aditionally, I would suggest adding another mode: mbuttons (Mouse buttons).
At the moment, you can use the nubs as mouse but don't have any mouse buttons.
I think it would be very convenient if you could set the nubs as mouse buttons:
Move the nub left for left click, right for right click, up for double click and down for middle click.
That way, each user could use the left nub for mouse and the right nub for mouse buttons or vice versa. |

123 | Base OS | Feature Request | Low | Suggestions for the Pandora-Button | New | |
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"). |

159 | Base OS | Bug Report | Medium | System > Run PND Application menu item does nothing | Unconfirmed | |
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. |

I had beta 1 of hotfix 3, and there turning the pandora into a cardreader worked fine for that card. However, I just installed the latest hotfix 3 final, but that one fails to unmount. Attached is the pndrunop_storage.out. Apparently something's going wrong with the splitting of the partition name, as it tries to unmount /dev/mmcblk0 instead of /dev/mmcblk0p1
Manually unmounting it by using sudo umount /dev/mmcblk0p1 does work, but then I can't use the tool because that apparently only lists mounted memorycards. |

237 | Core | Bug Report | Critical | /dev/mmcblkN - N sometimes points to left, sometimes to ... | Closed | |
Task Description
SPECIFICATION:
According to http://pandorawiki.org/SD_compatibility_list
/dev/mmcblk0 is the left SD card slot (the one being closer to the headphone check)
/dev/mmcblk1 is the right SD card slot
I trusted that device path specification.
And it was correct MOST of the time.
But sadly only most of the time, NOT ALWAYS!!!
This bug is severely dangerous, as a (possibly critical) command could unexpectedly affect a device other than the one you intended it for!
BUG INCIDENT:
Sadly, I realized this bug at the worst possible moment!
I issued the command: shred -fvz /dev/mmcblk0
but it erased the card in the RIGHT slot.
I realized that because the card inserted on the left has 16GB, and the one on the right 128MB.
I checked both the card positions and my entered command, to exclude my own mistake. Sadly it was not a clumsy mistake: This severe bug really exists!
BUG REPRODUCIBILITY:
I already slightly witnessed this bug during the last days, but thought it was just a coincidence.
I.e. in GParted the larger card showed up at the wrong device path.
I did a refresh and/or ejected/re-inserted the card, and the expected device path was back again, and I did not think further about this incident.
Only today with this fatal shred incident, I eventually realized this behavior is a bug.
Luckily I had my data backed up. |

212 | Core | Feature Request | Low | Add curl to core installed programs | Closed | |
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

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

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.
