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. |

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 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. ;) |

Task Description
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. |

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. |

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 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 |

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. |

163 | Base OS | Bug Report | Low | DPMS related "display problems" | Closed | |
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". |

Task Description
If you boot the system with the lid closed, the backlight will still be on when you get to the desktop. You have to lift the lid for an instant and then close again to shut it off. Perhaps this is because of the lack of trigger for an interrupt since the sensor is already activated. Can there be one extra check of the lid sensor after boot to cover this static position? |

155 | Core | Bug Report | Medium | Critical problems after rescaling GLES2 X windows | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
When a X window which is displaying GLES2 render output is:
- Either dragged out of the visibile screen region (?)
- Is made larger than it was at the creation time of the GLES2 context
then:
- The performance will drop significantly as the EGL buffer swaps won't occur as fast as before,
- The render output will be corrupted and flicker
- In rare occasions crashes the application or locks up the entire system (which forces you to remove the battery)
The problem can not be solved without restarting the application (Possibly forcing players to complete the same goals again as they were unable to reach a savepoint or similar things).
This was confirmed in Mupen64Plus and the PowerVR GLES Samples and some of my own projects (which are, however, based on the PowerVR samples).
As I didn't see any other reports about this problems (but had it confirmed by other Pandora users too) I would expect that it can be fixed by using a newer X, kernel or combination of them as other OMAP users would be effected too. |

178 | Core | Bug Report | Low | Mount-loop when booting from SD-card | Unconfirmed | |
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. |

The same result can be achieved by using the sys interface:
