307CoreFeature RequestMediumChange how Automatic Shutdown worksUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description When thee Pandora is shutting down because its almost out of power, it should check to make sure that the nub inputs are set to the default mode (which is mouse movement for the left nub and mouse buttons for the right nub). If not, it should change them to be like that.
 310 CoreBug ReportMedium mkdosfs is broken - creates 1GiB filesystems Closed
100%
Task Description When a partition is bigger than 2 or 4 GiB (can't recall now) it makes a "default" 1GiB filesystem. Propably missing large file support in the build. Also, the pandora sd card formatter is missing -F 32 so it makes (i think, it is some time from when I noticed this) FAT16 partitions...

315CoreBug ReportMediumPairing bluetooth SPP devices doesn't work with XFCEUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description Hi, sadly the XFCE bluetooth manager seems to have problems with pairing simple SPP devices (an BT GPS mouse here). 1. Enable BT 2. BT Manager -> Add new device 3. Confirm Dialog and wait for scanning 4. Pick device 5. Select PIN options -> "0000" (here for me) In next step the dialog still asks you to enter a random PIN at your BT device (which is impossible here). Thus it seems, that the XFCE dialog makes troubles, I tried it with 2 different GPS. Pairing the GPS manually works fine: sudo rfcomm connect rfcomm0 00:18:E4:26:5F:14
 317 CoreBug ReportMedium After disabling USB-host current still flows into USB d ...Closed
100%
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.

When selecting no OS in the OS Selector you're returned to the login screen where you have to reauthenicate. (Pressing Enter without selecting an OS does this)

I happen to do this a lot and it drives me mad :P

331CoreBug ReportMediumHold switch key continuously sends X11 KeyPress events ...Unconfirmed
0%
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).

 332 CoreBug ReportMedium op_lidsettings.sh and op_power.sh scripts fail for some ...Closed
100%
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

 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.

 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

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).

 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?
