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
Here's the link to curl on the repo

113 | Core | Feature Request | Low | Add aliases for bash, eg ll for ls -l. Just uncommentin ... | Closed | |
Task Description
Aliases like ll for "ls -l" are common. They are super useful on the Pandora (less to type, no Fn key needed).
The .bashrc already includes them but they are commented. Please enabled the ls aliases and colored output. I do not think enabling the "-i" aliases too would be a good idea. |

Task Description
Starting the Help Center will freeze AbiWord. |

221 | Core | Bug Report | Medium | 32MB worth of qt4 examples in /usr/bin/qt4 ? | Closed | |
Task Description
Hi, after upgrading to HF5, I accidentally discovered that there are 32MB of qt4 examples & demos in directory /usr/bin/qt4, those examples do work. For instance the /usr/bin/qt4/examples/webkit/fancybrowser/fancybrowser is a working WWW browser.
It is, without any dispute a very useful qt4 development help, but are you sure that you want to include all that in NAND ? |

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. |

55 | Core | Bug Report | Critical | .xinitrc problems (image from Feb 22nd) | Closed | |
Task Description
Loading a GUI from slim fails, as .xinitrc is broken.
Seems to have been edited using a windows editor? From line 50 on, there are newline characters that shouldn't be there.
Removing them makes XFCE4 loading fine. |

179 | Core | Bug Report | Low | .vimrc-preset for user but not for root | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
I am running PandoraOS from sd-card installed with the official tarball "pandora-rootfs.tar.bz2".
I noticed that the control/keyboard-mapping in vi does not work correctly after switching to root (for example sudo su-). I solved this by copying over my users .vimrc to root-homedir. This should already be included in the tarball. |

Task Description
pnd_run.sh barfs when given a file with space in it's name.
Also pnd_run bin doesnt enclose the .pnd name, it should.

65 | Core | Feature Request | Very Low | .desktop files, be nice if they included the non-englis... | New | |
Task Description
.desktop files only include the English stuff right now (using the .desktop default tags.)
Be nice if in addition to 'title', we also include 'title[de]' type extras, whatever is in the PXML.xml
pnd_pxml_t includes all the goods, but pnd_disco_t has only the summarized english stuff. |

138 | Core | Bug Report | Low | 'del' key (shift+backspace) not working | New | |
Task Description
The title says everything: The 'del' key does not work. In theory you should have a del "event" when hitting shift+backspace. This is not the case in all progs I tested so far (terminal and default text editor with gui). |

188 | Core | Bug Report | High | "rdate" sets the time exactly 3 hours in advance | Closed | |
Task Description
"rdate -s time.ien.it" will set the date (hour) 3 hours in advance.
The time (and timezone) can be adjusted manually using the "Settings -> Date and Time" tool, but on the next rdate-update the issue will occur again |
