OpenPandora Main OS

This project it to track issues relating to the current shipping OS only as found here http://goo.gl/S5JCy. Please state what Hotfix you are running with any issue report. Please ONLY use this to record issues for the main OS and its default included applications - any other application issue reports should go into the Additional Applications project. Issue reports with 'in development OS images' or feature requests for the next MAJOR version (not Hotfix release) should be placed into the OpenPandora Development OS project and reported on the mailing list http://openpandora.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/firmware-dev. Please read this page to find out how to properly report bugs: http://pandorawiki.org/Reporting_bugs

Task Description Patch to op_bluetooth.sh attached.
 132 Base OSBug ReportMedium Deleting big files doesn't work Closed
100%
Task Description When deleting a file on the SD card, the Pandora OS moves it into the thrash folder in the internal memory. That itself isn't very nice (shouldn't there be a trash folder on the SD card as well, to reduce unnecessary copying?), but if the file is too big for the internal memory, a error message appears, and the file cannot be deleted on the Pandora directly.
 139 Base OSBug ReportLow Space should not be accepted in hostname Closed
100%
Task Description http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/54878-embarassingly-nooby-questions-from-a-new-pandora-owner/page__view__findpost__p__885235 If the user names their Pandora using a space in the name, "This will prevent Xfce from operating correctly". Should trap this when asking for a host name.
 141 Base OSBug ReportHigh When using an unlabeled SD card, Hotfix3 final can't un ...Closed
100%
Task Description 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.
 146 Base OSBug ReportHigh Minimenu regressions with Hotfix 3 Closed
100%
Task Description Fresh firmware install with Hotfix 3 installed results in the following issues with Minimenu. 1. 25+% cpu usage versus ~5% in earlier versions. 2. Touchscreen no longer works correctly to select icons. Selecting tabs still works and occasionally it will work for selecting an application icon, but for the most part it simply does nothing.
 147 Base OSBug ReportLow Screen backlight is ON when starting with lid closed Closed
100%
Task Description [HotFix3 installed] If you power up the Pandora and have the screen closed, the backlight will still go on. That should not happen. Right now you have to open it, close it and than the backlight turns off to save energy...

100%
Task Description The Pandora resets if the battery is removed - even though its plugged to the AC Adapter. the power disapears for a second, and then the pandora notices that the power cable is actually plugged in, and immediately starts the pandora again
158Base OSBug ReportMediumRefresh rate and BPPUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description On OS Zaxon (hotfix 3). With "xfconf-query", the resolution is 800x480@60 Hz. But with the tool in the menu "Settings" -> "Display", the resolution is 800x480@0 Hz. With Java (opensdk-6-jre 6b18-1.8), GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getDefaultScreenDevice().getDisplayModes() return 1 display mode that is 800x480@0 Hz with a BPP of -1. It seems to be the reason that GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getDefaultScreenDevice().getDisplayMode() return null and when closing a java application that goes in fullscreen mode to throw an exception (invalid display mode).
159Base OSBug ReportMediumSystem > Run PND Application menu item does nothingUnconfirmed
0%
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.

 163 Base OSBug ReportLow DPMS related "display problems" Closed
100%
Task Description Currently it looks like DPMS is active in xorg (eg when using XFCE). DPMS is normally used for stuff like turning the screen off to save energy. There seems to be no way to configure this while in XFCE. So the default xorg server values are used. At the moment the screen is turned off after 10mins of inactivity. Problems with this are a) that the time till it is turned off can not be configured b) after wakeup from such a DPMS related display shutdown the brightness is set to maximum. Solution to this: Deactivate the sleep values via xorg.conf. I am attaching a diff to "[openembedded.git] / recipes / xorg-xserver / xserver-xorg-conf / omap3-pandora / xorg.conf" changing those to "default off".
 73 Base OSFeature RequestMedium Nub: Change mouse speed, fix scrolling and add mouse bu ...Closed
100%
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.
 86 Base OSFeature RequestVery Low Including small development frameworks/projects in the  ...Closed
100%
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.
 88 Base OSFeature RequestLow pydoc is missing Closed
100%
Task Description I love to use the pandora for some on-the-go python development, and I think I'm not the only one, but unfortunately the module pydoc is missing, which is needed for doing help(sys) on the interactive prompt. Could you please include that in the next firmware revision? Thanks!
 90 Base OSFeature RequestLow Adding more "general libs" to the OS image Closed
100%
Task Description It would be nice if some more generic libs that could be used by software ported to the Pandora would be available in the base image. For example for Wesnoth we do require these additional libs (names taken from http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo/?pkgname=boost ): * boost-iostreams * boost-regex * boost-serialization Beside this Wesnoth does also require this package (from http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo/?pkgname=lua5.1 ): * lua5.1 In general I would recommend pulling in all of boost. This means the dependencies as well as the recommends. Here is a short paste of what this means: Depends: libc6, libstdc++6, libgcc1, boost-filesystem, boost-thread, boost-date-time, boost-system Recommends: boost-date-time, boost-filesystem, boost-graph, boost-iostreams, boost-program-options, boost-python, boost-regex, boost-serialization, boost-signals, boost-system, boost-test, boost-thread There are probably some other packages/lib that might make sense to directly have in the OS image, but they currently don't come to my mind, so I can't list them here. ;)
 96 Base OSFeature RequestLow Customizable SD mount options Closed

 103 Base OSFeature RequestLow OpenAL library in firmware? Closed
100%
Task Description Is there any chance we can have OpenAL installed as a default library? I'm considering porting some software that requires it (and truth be told I manually compiled and installed it for my own use atm...)
 108 Base OSFeature RequestCritical TUN/TAN-Driver Closed
0%
Task Description There is no TUN/TAN Driver installed. This is recommanded for some encrypted wireless lan connections, especially for eduroam, a world wide access point for the education community. Also, a tun-driver is also recommended for vpnc.
118Base OSFeature RequestLowadd sdl-perl to the base OSUnconfirmed

Task Description Hi there, Many games depend on sdl-perl. Perl and sdl are part of the base OS, but not not the connection between the two. Cheers, sebt3
 119 Base OSFeature RequestLow ext4 support Closed
100%
Task Description Don't know how much work this would be to get a later version of the linux firmware to add this, but it would be nice to have more filesystem support.
 122 Base OSFeature RequestMedium SDL 1.2 optimizations Closed
100%
Task Description At the moment, SDL is a bit slow and has vsync problems (tearing, etc.). It could need optimizations to use the hardware.
123Base OSFeature RequestLowSuggestions for the Pandora-ButtonNew
0%
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").
 133 Base OSFeature RequestLow Add TiMidity++ to OS? Closed
100%
Task Description Hey, was just wondering if it would be possible to have TiMidity++ (http://timidity.sourceforge.net/) added with a hotfix, would allow games/ports that use it (the Zelda ports here: http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/54633-zelda-kind-of), zdoom and heretic (I think unless pickles has changed them) and other stuff that uses it to not have to include it in the .pnd and saving SD space... just an idea...
 137 Base OSFeature RequestLow Default vim config Closed
100%
Task Description The current vim install does come without any config file. By default this means vim does work in "vi compatible mode" which makes it hardly usable. The attached config file is meant to be used as ~/.vimrc, so it should be added to "/etc/skel/.vimrc". The file is partly based on the default config used by gentoo. Things this config file sets: * Start in "vim mode" by default * activate ruler * set width of linenumber in ruler * assume that the terminal uses a dark background * configure what hitting backspace removed (newlines, ...) * some magic to have different encoding formats working in a more sane way
 145 Base OSFeature RequestLow missing tune2fs command Closed
100%
Task Description bash: tune2fs: command not found Please include tune2fs into basic OS image. Would be handy for managing filesystem on SD cards.

100%
Task Description Just added a few lines to op_lid.sh, will power off the LCD when you close the LID. Patch attached.
156Base OSFeature RequestVery LowAsk to format SD CardUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description When I have received my Pandora, I got an SD Card but it was not formated. I didn't have any card reader so I didn't now what was wrong (the Pandora or the SD Card). When an unformated SD Card is inserted in the Pandora, it should be nice to ask if we want to format it.
 161 Base OSFeature RequestLow Add ftp to base OS Closed
100%
Task Description Include the netkit-ftp package so the Pandora has at least basic ftp functionality out of the box.
 174 Base OSFeature RequestLow Include modem-manager in base image Closed
100%
Task Description Please consider including the modemmanager package in the base distibution. This allows 3G wireless dongles to work out of the box (configured via network-manager).
 75 Base OSTo Do (Reminder)Low Remove application-launcher from Pandora-Button Closed
100%
Task Description As the Application Launcher takes 12 seconds to load and slows all running games down terribly if you accidentally hit the Pandora-Button, it is useless. Please change it so it does something different. My suggestions: * Open the XFCE Start-Menu or * Open a simple applauncher (as suggested by vimacs) Make sure it doesn't disturb any game or emulator if you press it while playing!

100%
Task Description Only root can login over serial or ttys, and only if it has no password. Ssh login works fine. After some debugging it seems to be PAM issue, possibly recipes/shadow/ misconfiguration in OE. Maybe we sould use IMAGE_LOGIN_MANAGER = "busybox" instead of IMAGE_LOGIN_MANAGER = "shadow" as we don't need super security?
