 22 CoreBug ReportLow pndevmapperd: Powerbutton / hold doesn't work. Closed
100%
Task Description Moving the powerbutton doesn't get recognized by pndevmapperd. When moving the powerbutton to hold, it reports: keyboard.c: can't emulate rawmode for keycode 152
 24 CoreBug ReportLow op_menu.sh not working Closed
100%
Task Description Reports: xfce4-appfinder: Cannot open display: . Fix might be (according to vimacs): Change those two similar looking lines to: sudo -u $xfceuser DISPLAY=:0.0 xfce4-appfinder and: pidlist=$(pstree -lpA | grep pnd_run.sh | sed -ne 's/.*-\(.*\)(\([0-9]\+\))/\2\n \1/p' | DISPLAY=:0.0 zenity --list --multiple --column "pid" --column "name" --title "kill" --text "which apps should be killed" | sed 's/|/\n/') Needs to be checked.
 27 CoreBug ReportLow xfce4-brightness-plugin: 0 isn't a good minimum value Closed
100%
Task Description The xfce4-brightness-plugin can be set to a minimum of 0. This is kinda confusing to the normal user, as it makes the screen totally black. Maybe this could be changed to a minimum of 3?

 32 CoreBug ReportLow pndnotifyd: Crawling through directories it shouldn't i ...Closed
100%
Task Description My current configuration is: Rootfs on first SD Card, 2nd partition. If I put my WIZ SD Card with tons of files into the second SD Slot while booting, pndnotifyd eats up about 95% of CPU time. After about 8 - 9 minutes, it stopped eating the CPU and the system is working normally. This doesn't happen when I put in the card when XFCE4 is already running. Using LSOF, I can confirm it's crawling where it shouldn't: pndnotify 1825 root 6r DIR 179,9 1441792 62488 /media/mmcblk1p1/roms/c64/Tapes Could it be that on first initialization it hasn't loaded the config and crawls through the whole SD Card? On a side note: I got 44700 files on that SD Card... so if it needs about 8 minutes, that does mean it can do over 5000 files a minute!
 33 CoreBug ReportLow mmcqd eating lots of CPU power when writing Closed
100%
Task Description EDIT: Tried a remount with noatime and this seemed to work very well. CPU usage when writing still goes higher, but not as high as before. Very common problem, seems to happen on all systems (just do a google search for mmcqd). Just run SuperTux, wait about 10 seconds at the title screen and it will hang for a few seconds (while mmcqd goes up). Same problem as on the GP2X where we also had hangs occuring. I wonder if there's something that can be done here? Some suggest to change mmcqd priority. Some other sites do try to remove features of mmcqd. Another option is to mount async (like on the gp2x). As the Pandora usually isn't switched off the hard way but should be shutdown properly, this could be a good solution. That would mean that our suspend mode needs to call sync before shutting down. Maybe pnd_run.sh could also run sync after a game quit? Here are some interesting reads that might help us: http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-omap@vger.kernel.org/msg16345.html : "wait_for_completion is blocking call. Please check 'omap_mmc_request'" http://www.mail-archive.com/davinci-linux-open-source@linux.davincidsp.com/msg08732.html - He disables some stuff in mmcqd which lowers CPU usage.

100%
Task Description Some headphones are very loud. The volume wheel cannot be used properly with them. Therefore, we should be able to change the volume in software mode, too. File attached below, simply needs to be included in the next image by DJWillis.

 42 CoreBug ReportLow op_defaultgui.sh: sed needs sudo access Closed
100%
Task Description I (EvilDragon) created a small script where you can reselect the default GUI and enable / disable autologin. Works fine so far, except for that the sed to /etc/slim.conf needs root access. I have no idea how to make sudo in this script work without asking for a password. If anyone could help me there, I'll be happy :)

 49 CoreTo Do (Reminder)Low Change some of our scripts into internal PNDs Closed

Task Description Some of our scripts (CPU Speed, Switch Default GUI, Enable TV Out) should be changed into PND format so that pmenu can also run them.
 53 CoreBug ReportLow Non-X Touchscreen: Inverted axis Closed
100%
Task Description Running SDL-Apps in Non-X mode have inverted axis.
 59 CoreTo Do (Reminder)Low ToDo: Add joystick / keyboard switch to pnd_run and lib ...Closed
100%
Task Description The next kernel offers switching between a joystick / keyboard mode. In joystick mode, the DPAD and ABXYRL Buttons behave like a joystick buttons and have no keyboard mappings. In keyboard mode, the DPAD and ABXYRL Buttons have keyboard mappings and are NOT registered as joystick. The normal keyboard keys are not affected by this. PXML needs to have a switch added for that and pnd_run should change the mode according to that switch. When the PND app has quit, it should always go back to keyboard mode. The commands are the following: echo 1 > /proc/pandora/game_button_mode # keyboard mode echo 2 > /proc/pandora/game_button_mode # gamepad mode
 60 CoreTo Do (Reminder)Low Include new menufile (Setting) for XFCE4 Closed

 63 CoreTo Do (Reminder)Low Include new panel-setup for XFCE4 Closed
100%
Task Description I enhanced the XFCE4-Panel setup a bit, since we now have working ALSA mixer and a battery monitor. The files inside the attached archive should go to /etc/xdg/op/xfce4/panel/* in the image.
 64 CoreTo Do (Reminder)Low New power-manager.xml-file (removes opening the logout  ...Closed
100%
Task Description As the powerswitch is used to go into low power mode or shutdown, it doesn't make sense showing the logout dialogue (which would appear when you come back from low-power mode). Therefore, I disabled it with this file. It should be placed in: /etc/xdg/op/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/ in the image.

 68 CoreBug ReportLow AlephOne PND not running Closed
100%
Task Description I don't even know if this is a bug or if I just happen to have a fault in my PXML file. All multi-apps-PNDs I have do run fine - except for AlephOne. Whether I include the datafiles or keep them external, it won't work. I can manually mount it (pnd_run.sh -p /bla.pnd -m ) and run it from the mounted directory, but it does not do so automatically from the desktop file. If one of you two could check that out, that would rock. You can download it from the usual PND-Repo I use ;)
 70 CoreTo Do (Reminder)Low Make switching GUIs more customizable (hardcoded at the ...Closed
100%
Task Description At the moment, /usr/pandora/scripts/op_switchgui,sh ,/usr/pandora/scripts/op_defaultgui.sh and /usr/pandora/scripts/first-run-wizard.sh are hardcoded with the GUIs we have. I'd like to have that configurable for the future. My current plan is having a config file with all the GUIs in (e.g. /etc/pandora/gui.conf) In there, there should be ALL GUIs: "XFCE4";"startxfce4";"xfce4-session-logout --logout" "Netbook Launcher";"startnetbooklauncher";"killall netbook-launcher-efl" "PMenu";"pmenu";"" So with an info: a) What's the name of the GUI b) How to start it c) How to stop it (if it doesn't do that itself) Therefore, various GUIs could be implemented and switched with the Switch GUI script by simply adding it to the config file. Ideally, all GUIs should either have a shutdown script (so I don't have to kill it to quit it) or react properly on a simple terminate command :) Or they could do it themselves, read out the config file, show up the different GUIs we have, change the /tmp/gui.load file and quit. Any more ideas? Any help? Coding that script shouldn't be too hard, the only thing I don't know at the moment is how to parse various config lines (as above) into a shell script :) vimacs, any idea there?

 85 CoreFeature RequestLow open lid while in low power mode Closed
100%
Task Description I'm replying in-forum: An interesting point -- opening the lid turning the screen on, but you're still in lower power mode. The question then becomes -- Since you enabled low power mode (using the power switch), thats the logical way to un-low power mode. Two outcomes come to mind .. When opening the lid, one of: i) wake up from low power mode, or ii) Don't turn the screen on when in low power mode (or a variation of (ii) -- flash a warning "hey, I'm in lower power, bugger off, and hit the power switch") I can code something in; probably occured due to in my prototype, I broke the power switch, so I didn't use low power mode near the end ;)
94CoreBug ReportLowBacklight control by lid sensor not detected after bootNew
0%
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?
 100 CoreBug ReportLow Demos & Examples - remove from image Closed
100%
Task Description /usr/bin/qt4/demos is 9Mb in size and /usr/bin/qt4/examples is 11Mb. I'm guessing these are only useful for developers. Can they safely be removed? edit: additionally, /usr/share/vim is 12M. Can those of us who are never going to use VIM remove it?
 113 CoreFeature RequestLow Add aliases for bash, eg ll for ls -l. Just uncommentin ...Closed
100%
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 Summary is about all i can dug out now. Somehow related to the PWM driving, because SD, bt and wifi leds work with trigger=timer. NOTE: power and charger leds are driven by PWM (just so you all know what I'm talking about). All i wanted to do was to add blinking power led to low power mode and all i get is a frozen pandora :/.

100%
Task Description Wifi LED does not always get re-activated after enabling wifi. It seems that the led trigger which ought to be set to [phy0dadio] no longer exists and the phy# seems to increment (up to at least 11 I have observed) If I set the trigger to phy##radio then the notification works again, but I'm not sure of the best way to fix this. I suppose a quick hack to the wl1251-init script is the place to start.

Task Description Might be related to http://bugs.openpandora.org/index.php?do=details&task_id=128 as it have exactly the same behaviours. But this time no translation is involved (masked in my script until this is fixed). And making the file smaller (by removing apps :( ) managed to let it alive, so it seam to be file size related.

 164 CoreBug ReportLow Display brightness not restored at booting, HF4beta3 Closed
100%
Task Description The update from Hotfix3 to Hotfix4 beta3 broke restoring of display brightness at boot time. Restoring of brightness after "powersave mode" (aka flipping the power switch for a short time) does work nicely. This might be related to bug #163 ( http://bugs.openpandora.org/index.php?do=details&task_id=163 ) where shutting the display down via DPMS does result in the brightness being lost when getting the display on again. This is related to the desktop mode (XFCE). Don't know if it does happen for minimenu, too, not tested yet.

178CoreBug ReportLowMount-loop when booting from SD-cardUnconfirmed
0%
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.

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.
