 111 CoreFeature RequestMedium Minimal Boot to X_Term / Pico Closed
100%
Task Description Can we add an option to the boot menu for a minimal boot to X-term, and include Pico in the base OS? This would allow us to fix problems we've caused by messing around with starup scripts etc..
110CoreBug ReportVery LowBattery percentage static in MiniMenuUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description Battery remaining percentage in MiniMenu does not update unless you change tabs back and forth. This is only really an issue when leaving the unit charging and not using it. It gives the appearance that it is not charging until you swap tabs around.
 109 CoreBug ReportMedium Wifi looses connection after 20-30 minutes Closed
100%
Task Description While logged into XFCE and browsing for an extended period the wireless will loose its connection. It will not reconnect until the Wifi is toggled off and back on again using the ToggleWifi application. I have not tested this on an unsecured network. My wireless is WPA2 encrypted.
 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.
 107 Base OSBug ReportLow Secure Wifi will not connect until XFCE is loaded Closed
100%
Task Description My Pandora is set to load MiniMenu on boot. I can't use any networked apps because wifi will not automatically connect on boot. XFCE needs to be loaded at least once so that i can enter my keychain password. Once i've entered my password Wifi connects and i can return to MiniMenu.
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.
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.
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
 103 Base OSFeature RequestLow OpenAL library in firmware? Closed
100%
Task Description Is there any chance we can have OpenAL installed as a default library? I'm considering porting some software that requires it (and truth be told I manually compiled and installed it for my own use atm...)
 102 Base OSBug ReportVery Low Pandora key does not close XFCE menu  Closed
100%
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.
 101 CoreBug ReportHigh Cannot unmount SD card or USB stick through the GUI Closed
100%
Task Description When I rightclick and select "unmount" I always get an error, see below. unmounting from a terminal window works fine. Also see: http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/54353-unmount-sd-card-hdd/ "Unable to unmount .... Cannot open /media/.hal-mtab"
 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?

0%
Task Description If I resume after standby (moved the slider to the right), the pandora shows the desktop and I can move the mouse cursor but if I click something, nothing happens. IRC suggested that the CPU might still be clocked at the standby low power speed.
 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.
 97 Base OSFeature RequestLow Missing kernel-module-snd-usb-audio Closed
100%
Task Description Missing kernel-module-snd-usb-audio would be nice to hook the pandora up to my logitec speakers and have audio out and a hub for hooking up other devices at the same time...
 96 Base OSFeature RequestLow Customizable SD mount options Closed
100%
Task Description Right now writes are really slow because they write synchronously: there should be an option to change this so that the user is first taught how to unmount an sd card then remove it...
 95 Base OSBug ReportMedium Cannot Connect to Ad-Hoc WIFI Closed
100%
Task Description I am Currently tethering my Mobile Network via my Android Phone I cannot connect on this WIFI ... it's a Ad-Hoc connection Everything else works, PC, Netbook's and iPod Touch But Pandora seems to have some problems
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?
 93 Base OSBug ReportLow zaxxon first boot: don't ask for user prompt if already ...Closed
100%
Task Description How to reproduce: First boot, Pandora's Box has been opened. Prompt for Full name, username, and password. Then, simply press OK without selecting whether minimenu or xfce. None selected. Then you can't do any more. Wizard closes and you don't need any more options. After manual reboot, the wizard starts again and asks for name again. But the username already exists.
 92 Base OSBug ReportMedium Startupmanager Closed
100%
Task Description When trying to toggle Enable/Disable Autologin After initially enabling this feature, attempt was made to disable unsuccessfully. System says that it saves this info, upon reboot, login screen shows up again. Wifi toggle seems to work, as does Default GUI, & selecting default user
 91 Base OSBug ReportMedium libaudiofile is installed by codec pack instead of in b ...Closed
100%
Task Description Certain emulators such as Fuse are reliant on this file and I am assured it should be part of the default load-out (or rather in the HotFix) rather than in the codec pack as it's not a copyright issue.
 90 Base OSFeature RequestLow Adding more "general libs" to the OS image Closed
100%
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. ;)
 89 Base OSBug ReportMedium XFCE not loading up defaults when MiniMenu is selected  ...Closed
100%
Task Description When mini menu is set to the default menuing system, XFCE settings (selected theme, pandora-specific key bindings) do not get loaded by default, they need to be forced by opening a terminal and typing xfwm4 --replace
 88 Base OSFeature RequestLow pydoc is missing Closed
100%
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!
 87 CoreBug ReportMedium default /etc/network/interfaces is causing problems Closed
100%
Task Description The default /etc/network/interfaces has 192.168.1.0/24 subnet set up for usb0 which causes wifi connectivity to fail for users that have wifi on the same subnet. All addresses should be edited out from /etc/network/interfaces, eth* stuff should probably be dropped too.
 86 Base OSFeature RequestVery Low Including small development frameworks/projects in the  ...Closed
100%
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.
 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 ;)
 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.
 83 Base OSBug ReportLow getting more /media/mmcblk?p1  Closed
100%
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?
 82 Base OSBug ReportCritical Network Manager - Wifi Can't Reconnect Closed
100%
Task Description When wifi drops out, or you have disconnected from it and wish to reconnect, you cant reconnect using network-manager. The connecting icon spins for a while, then it pops up the 'Password' Dialog. If you enter your password, the cycle begins again.
 81 CoreBug ReportHigh pandora seems to hang during boot, turns out it didn't Closed
100%
Task Description it seemed just now thay my pandora didnt complete its bootsequence. During booting, the screen turned black. I thought it had crashed, but I still saw lights flashing when I inserted an SDcard. I then assumed that it WAS booting normally, but that the screen was turned down. So I pushed enter to confirm my username, as I suspected that I was at that prompt. Next I inputted my pwd, pushed enter, waited a bit, and then ised Fn+I to increase the brightness. It worked! I think that during the bootprocess the screen should at most be set to the darkest setting, but never to off. I think I know what happened. I told my pandora to shutdown and closed the lit before it was done. I guess that that swiittched off the screen, a setting which was then saved by the shutdown process, and restored during the bootsequence. I would suggest fixing this in the startup process, rather than the shutdown process, because that way, no matter what ends up in the settings, a sensible valsue is set at startup. I'll see if I can reproduce this.
 80 CoreBug ReportLow After bug 79, the user manager doesn't list my users Closed
100%
Task Description And when i try to remove anyway, it tries to remove user (null). I didn't have the guts to say 'Yes, remove user'
 79 CoreBug ReportLow On clean install, picking minimenu as a GUI hangs the p ...Closed
100%
Task Description I had to reboot the pandora (look in the manual :)) to get back to the installer. I had to specify ANOTHER user, as the one I made was still there. Picking the XFCE one did work.
 78 CoreBug ReportVery Low minimenu - zaxxon initial release - doesn't use preview ...Closed
100%
Task Description Stupid; in the /etc/pandora/conf/mmenu.conf the preview cache is looked for in mmcblk[12]* .. should be [01] or really just /media/*/pandora... etc. So just switch [12] to [01] and works fine. Fixed in the git tree already, so will roll out in a real image build.
 77 CoreBug ReportLow Shut down screen Closed
100%
Task Description The shut down screen says "booting...". :)
 76 CoreBug ReportHigh Wifi connection lost under high CPU load Closed
100%
Task Description I noticed that when I tried Quake 3 a while back that I would lose my internet connection. Only the very first time I tried it did it ever find a couple thousand servers and let me join a map. Since then, it always dies and I never see any servers. I wasn't too concerned yet because maybe it's just Q3 doing something but tonight mplayer was running full screen and then suddenly it started chugging and the network manager popped up that it was trying to connect (spinning logo at the bottom). Since you only get one shot at network manager per boot, it was a lost cause. The correlation I make here was that I'm sure the CPU was under heavy load for both cases but I haven't tried other programs to see what happens. I didn't have any games on this card tonight. Can anyone repeat this problem or is it a known issue?
 75 Base OSTo Do (Reminder)Low Remove application-launcher from Pandora-Button Closed
100%
Task Description As the Application Launcher takes 12 seconds to load and slows all running games down terribly if you accidentally hit the Pandora-Button, it is useless. Please change it so it does something different. My suggestions: * Open the XFCE Start-Menu or * Open a simple applauncher (as suggested by vimacs) Make sure it doesn't disturb any game or emulator if you press it while playing!
 74 CoreBug ReportMedium xfce4-mouse-settings: Fix the check for Xi so it does n ...Closed
100%
Task Description The xfce4-mouse-settings don't work on the Pandora, because they report "XI is not present or too old" This is a known bug and there already is a fix for it: http://www.mail-archive.com/xfce4-commits@xfce.org/msg09395.html
 73 Base OSFeature RequestMedium Nub: Change mouse speed, fix scrolling and add mouse bu ...Closed
100%
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.
 72 CoreBug ReportMedium Automatic Screen Saver crashes SGX Apps Closed
100%
Task Description The automatic screen saver crashes apps which use the new SGX driver. Has been tested with pmenu and Quake. This does NOT happen with the Lid close / open turn off-routine, just with that automatic screen saver that turns of the LCD when you don't press a button for a while.

Task Description Only root can currently setup and change TV Out parameters :) Should be set to make it user-changeable.

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?
 69 CoreBug ReportHigh libpnd : pnd_apps_exec() function bug Closed

Task Description PND_EXEC_OPTION_BLOCK do not seems to work anymore ( the function does not wait the pnd_run.sh task to finish anymore )
 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 ;)

Task Description .desktop files only include the English stuff right now (using the .desktop default tags.) Be nice if in addition to 'title', we also include 'title[de]' type extras, whatever is in the PXML.xml pnd_pxml_t includes all the goods, but pnd_disco_t has only the summarized english stuff.
 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.
 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.
