141 | Base OS | Bug Report | High | When using an unlabeled SD card, Hotfix3 final can't un ... | Closed | |
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. |

137 | Base OS | Feature Request | Low | Default vim config | Closed | |
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 |

133 | Base OS | Feature Request | Low | Add TiMidity++ to OS? | Closed | |
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... |

132 | Base OS | Bug Report | Medium | Deleting big files doesn't work | Closed | |
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. |

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"). |

If the XFCE menu has been opened by a touchscreen command, it can also be closed by hitting the logo again. However, opening the menu this way and then hitting the Pandora key only spawns more instances of the menu. Least intrusive way to close those seems to be to select "Logout" and hit Cancel. |

90 | Base OS | Feature Request | Low | Adding more "general libs" to the OS image | Closed | |
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. ;) |

|
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. |

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? |

* Open a simple applauncher (as suggested by vimacs)
Make sure it doesn't disturb any game or emulator if you press it while playing! |

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. |

Task Description
/usr/pandora/scripts/op_lidsettings.sh and /usr/pandora/scripts/op_power.sh fail for some usernames due to poor shell scripting
these scripts find their config files by grepping /etc/passwd for the uer currently running xfce4-session, but the loose regexp matches too much. this shell fragment from op_lidsettings.sh:
grep /etc/passwd -e $(ps u -C xfce4-session | tail -n1 | awk '{print $1}')| cut -f 6 -d ":"
when a use called "me" is logged in, returns
/home/root
/usr/games
/var/run/dbus
/home/me
rather than just "/home/me"
all instances of that construct (reading and writing settings, in both op_lidsettings.sh and op_power.sh) should be changed to
grep /etc/passwd -e ^$(ps u -C xfce4-session | tail -n1 | awk '{print $1}'): | cut -f 6 -d ":"
to correctly match only the complete username field in /etc/passwd |

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). |

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. |

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? |

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. |

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). |

Task Description
On my Pandora, due to bad internal WiFi, I use an Edimax EW-7811Un USB WiFi adapter, which has a status-LED, flickering according to the network activity.
After disabling USB-host through the settings menu, the WiFi functionality is gone, but the device's LED is still on. So some current must still flow into the USB device.
The LED now has a permanent light, no flickering! This lack of "device intelligence" indicates that the device was indeed turned off, just current flowing directly to the LED circuit unaltered).
I can repeat the aforementioned steps many times, the behavior is the same.
As soon as I then first physically unplug and reinsert the device, the LED remains off eventually.
From then on, every further issuing of "Disable USB-host" through the settings menu turns the device LED completely off.
Smells like a kernel bug to me! As it requires one real un/re-plugging, from then on works ok. |
