 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.
 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
 139 Base OSBug ReportLow Space should not be accepted in hostname Closed

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.
 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.
 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...
 149 Base OSBug ReportVery Low Resets if Battery is removed - but power is still pluge ...Closed
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
 151 Base OSFeature RequestMedium [PATCH] Turn Off LCD when closing the lid Closed

100%
Task Description first time i changed the date/time with no problems afterward every time when i try to change it it gives me "Please select month ..." this happens after selecting the time zone window.
 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.
 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".
 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).
104Base OSBug ReportLowAAC decoder libfaad doesn't appear to be compiled as fi...Unconfirmed
0%
Task Description FAAD2 appears to not be compiled with fixed point decoding. My version of libfaad compiled with fixed point used 2-3x less cpu than the provided one. It's not enough to provide the switch to the configure script. the file libfaad/common.h has to be edited and a define uncommented. Line 68 in the v2.7 source. /* COMPILE TIME DEFINITIONS */ /* use double precision */ /* #define USE_DOUBLE_PRECISION */ /* use fixed point reals */ //#define FIXED_POINT
 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.

0%
Task Description PyGame is damn slow (games with scrolling are not at all playable). Would be nice if Hardware surface could be used :)
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").

Task Description I added: iface usb0 inet dhcp And ran: ifup usb0 But dhclient simply prints usage.
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.
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.
 84 ApplicationBug ReportLow Bluetooth stays on Closed
100%
Task Description You can enable Bluetooth, but can't disable it afterwards from the system -> toggle bluetooth menu shortcut.
 98 ApplicationBug ReportMedium Pidgin freezes (msn) Closed
100%
Task Description Pidgin freezes when using the msn protocol. Sometimes it can last 25 minutes before doing so, sometimes it freezes instantly. Usually it's after only a few minutes. Once it freezes you are still able to close it using the built in crash manager (?!) This happens both when running from XFCE and Minimenu.
 114 ApplicationBug ReportLow Chromium browser does not support HTTPS/SSL Closed
100%
Task Description The Angstrom version of Chrome/Chromium web browser fails to open https links. This is a bug which has been fixed upstream, but not in the version packaged for Pandora.
 116 ApplicationBug ReportLow Freetype issues (freeciv sdl client) Closed
100%
Task Description With the SDL client for freeciv the font characters show up as square blocks and garbage characters. This may be related to freetype. I had also heard that battle at wesnoth had similar issues.
 117 ApplicationBug ReportLow Quake1 / Nanogl Lockup Closed
100%
Task Description After the last TI gles driver update quake1 (vanilla glquake 1 sources) and nanogl started to lockup the pandora after a few minutes of gameplay. Oddly all the other apps using nanogl seem stable. There is some bad code in nanogl (missing/null function pointers), which I need to clean up and afterwards reevaluate this issue.
 126 ApplicationBug ReportVery Low CPU Speed Typo? Closed
100%
Task Description If you set the CPU speed to 600 it warns that it is greater than 600. I thought 600 was the guaranteed speed?

 181 ApplicationBug ReportLow Triple click in Thunar crash Closed
100%
Task Description Triple tapping (with the stylus) a directory in Thunar in icon or compact mode (not detail view) causes Thunar to close (crash) This is consistently repeatable: tapping three times in rapid succession on the same spot of the file causes the crash. It must be the exact same spot, as if double clicking, but a third tap is added. This can be triggered especially when a user becomes frustrated at mistapping, gets carried away, and taps too much.
 186 ApplicationBug ReportMedium unusable "Manage LCD Gamma" tool Closed
100%
Task Description Pandora Menu -> Settings -> LCD-Settings -> Manage LCD Gamma Removing all the profiles listed there will make the user unable to even create a new one. The tool becomes unusable. I hope a re-flash would fix the problem. The last profile in the list, or the Default one, shouldn't be deletable at all.
 198 ApplicationBug ReportLow Mousepad: 'Find' works only once Closed
100%
Task Description Mousepad 0.2.16 Find (Ctrl+F) works once, the next time it is used the button 'Find' is and stays grayed out.
 213 ApplicationBug ReportLow Gigolo does not perform it's task Closed
100%
Task Description In it's current state, Gigolo is flat out broken and (almost) useless. It pretends to to it's job, but can't because it's missing critical pieces of anatomy. It can mount local filesystems correctly, but then so can thunar, so this is a redundant and useless function. The main reason to use Gigolo is to mount remote filesystems easily, and without having to use the terminal, and to save passwords in your keychain. The solution to the problem is to perform the following tasks: sudo opkg install gvfsd-sftp sshfs-fuse sudo mousepad /etc/modutils/fuse type "fuse" save and quit sudo update-modules
 241 ApplicationFeature RequestLow MiniMenu shall remember state for next start Closed
100%
Task Description With the setting "Live (not exit) on app run?" set to "NO" the currently selected tab and item shall be remembered, so that you return to the same state, in which you left MiniMenu.
 249 ApplicationBug ReportHigh File Browser Thunar - After 2 nub double-clicks unreact ...Closed
100%
Task Description If I navigate via keyboard (KEY UP/DOWN to move in lists, ENTER level down, BACKSPACE level up) I experience no problems at all. I can go many levels up/down, change to other folders, etc. No problems. But if I navigate with the nubs, and using the right-nub-up-direction to trigger a double click, this only works 1-2 times, and from then on, the files/folders in Thunar cannot be clicked any further. I am stuck then. A look into dmesg reveals this: keyboard.c Can't emulate rawcode for keycode 139 The timestamp of that specific keyboard.c error messages exactly correlates with the bug occurrence times. (uptime timestamps matched with dmesg timestamps) I tried alternative filebrowsers such as emelFM2, and there the problem does not exist, meaning I can trigger as many double clicks I want! I am using HotFix 5 Alpha 4 on an SD card. The bug already annoyed me on a HF5 on the NAND.
 263 ApplicationBug ReportCritical MiniMenu with "Auto discover pnd apps?" set to NO hangs ...Closed
100%
Task Description BUG DESCRIPTION: On my SD card with Pandora OS 1.6.4 I changed MiniMenu's setting "Auto discover pnd apps?" to NO, and then the program remained in an endless loop showing "Setting up menu...", crashing, "Setting up menu...", crashing, and so on. BUG REPRODUCTION: The variable filesystem.do_pnd_disco set to the value 0 definetely causes the crash, but maybe only in conjunction with some of my other settings?! Therefore see my attached config file mmpref.conf. Maybe related to  FS#79  , hard to tell, as this is a very minimal report. Definitely not related to my previously reported MiniMenu bug FS#262 WORKAROUND: 1) If your default GUI is: a) MiniMenu: Then after rebooting, MiniMenu will still be caught in an endless loop! Therefore boot up from an auxilary/temporary volume rather than your volume with the damaged MiniMenu! If your ruined system is on the NAND boot from an SD card, if the ruined system is on SD card, boot from NAND or another SD card. In doubt read: http://pandorawiki.org/Running_Linux_from_an_SD_card b) Other than MiniMenu such as XFCE: Then you are lucky. Simply start into XFCE, and continue with the next step. 2) Open ~/.mmpref.conf with a text editor and set the variable filesystem.do_pnd_disco to the value 1. 3) Reboot into your healed volume.
 266 ApplicationBug ReportLow hf6rc: Unable to enter Low Power Mode with lid shut: Closed
100%
Task Description Since hf6rc was installed I am unable to enter low power mode. I did pull up the new lid config settings script and selected switch off screen. Reproducable. Nothing happens when the power switch is moved fully to the right for a short time. I expect it to entry low power mode. quirky for it not too. workaround: easy - enter LPM before closing lid. btw: unable to select hf6 in reported version.

100%
Task Description $ sudo find / find: ftsfind.c:477: consider_visiting: Assertion `ent->fts_info == 11 || state.type != 0' failed. Aborted This is fixed by updating findutils to latest version using sudo opkg upgrade findutils Release SuperZaxxon 1.5 (not Beta 3, as given in "Reported Version" field, but there the release cannot be chosen).
 298 ApplicationBug ReportLow Mousepad only searches once Closed
100%
Task Description Whenever I search text in an open Mouspad document, it works fine the first time. As soon as I close the search dialogue and re-open it, the "find" (resp "find and replace" in replace dialogue) button is greyed out and unclickable. (This is the state the dialogue is in before typing anything, but this time, typing doesn't help.) "return" also doesn't work. Only help is closing and reopening Mousepad.

30%
Task Description Should make up a simple zenity script tool .. - backup -> pick SD -> backs up current user's homedor to SD. (tar.gz format so permissions can be kept; not cpio/etc, too annoying for user.) -> keep rolling, or just one copy? - restore -> pick SD -> pick user -> confirm -> wipe home and restore with version from tarball? (or just unpack in-place, so existing new files are kept) -> prepare SD -> pick SD -> mkdir /pandora/menu and /pandora/desktop
250ApplicationFeature RequestMediumFile Browser Thunar - Trashing file crosses filesystem ...Researching
30%
Task Description Trashing a file/folder seems to MOVE it to a certain trash directory on the MAIN VOLUME, rather then the ORIGINATING VOLUME, hence this can result in a COPY RATHER THAN A MOVE operation, if the trashed file originates from a filesystem other than the main filesystem! This is very inefficient and faulty as it is: a) Very time consuming b) And in case of large files this operation can even fail due to not enough free space on the main volume.
105ApplicationFeature RequestVery LowNubs feature requestNew
0%
Task Description The 'Nubs' application needs a setting for deadzone. Using the nubs in First person shooters the nubs trigger in directions when not even touched. An adjustment for deadzone would eliminate accidental movement caused by vibration. Also, application profiles for the nubs would be very useful. Different apps use the nubs in different ways and it would be great to not have to go and change settings before launching each application.
106ApplicationFeature RequestVery LowAppData corruptionUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description The appdata folder was corrupted on my SD card from an unclean eject this made the folder read only until i ran a repaired it. MiniMenu still displayed all my PND files. When clicking to launch the app would try to load crash and then return to MiniMenu without any visible error. This was pretty confusing and i thought it might be a good fix for a troubleshooting guide.

0%
Task Description Problem - Login Screen does not accept all symbols of the form Fn+char Reproducibility - always Actual results - the characters :?#|$€"‘£¥@!_ do not work on the Login Screen with the Pandora's keyboard. When fn then the corresponding character is pressed, nothing is added to the string. Expected results - these characters should appear just like any other character Work Around - an external keyboard was able to enter these characters Aditional Information - While the characters :?#|$€"‘£¥@!_ do not work, the characters ;/\'-+=`() work just fine.
238ApplicationFeature RequestLowQuick key access to OK in dialoguesUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: In many GUI dialogues the default action button (OK, ACCEPT, YES, …) cannot be triggered with a simple key press. Pressing ENTER triggers the element which has focus (usually the first dialogue element), but not the default action, as most computer users would expect! MY WORKAROUND MEANWHILE: Press ALT plus the underlined letter of your desired action. But that's not very convenient as the underlined letter needs to be looked upon first, as the button label can differ from situation to situation (ACCEPT, OK, YES, …) and then 2 keys need to be pressed. SUGGESTED SOLUTION: The custom of many operating systems should be adapted on the OpenPandora as well. SPACE triggers the currently focused element (whatever that may be: list item, radio button, checkbox, etc), and ENTER triggers the default action of that dialogue. Or even better use the Pandora specific A/B/Y/X keys cleverly in those dialogues/selections. I don't know whether there is a standard functionality assignment within this key-group, in MiniMenu "B" is start/confirm, I do not know of any other standard assignments yet.
