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!
 303 CoreBug ReportLow pppd 2.4.3 has a bug, recommend upgrade to ppp 2.4.5  Closed
100%
Task Description pppd 2.4.3 doesnt auto reconnect (in my setup) even if configured to do so (persist). Found a ppp bug report confirming this ( http://ppp.samba.org/cgi-bin/ppp-bugs/resolved?id=1110;user=guest - "ppp-2.4.3 / pppoe not reconnecting") and that it has been fixed. I compiled pppd 2.4.5 and that reconnects just fine.
 247 CoreBug ReportLow pnd_make.sh can't handle PND with spaces in the path Closed
100%
Task Description pnd_make.sh can't handle PND with spaces in the path. For example, if the label of the volume where the PND is saved, has spacebars. The Problem is line 655: 655: PND=$(readlink -f $PND) Bash handles a path with spacebars as two seperate arguments for the readlink command. The problem is, that i don't know a solution for this problem.
 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!

Task Description pndnotifyd Segfault when the PXML.xml attached with th pnd contain non-ascii characters (for translation)
 150 CoreBug ReportLow pndnotifyd Segfault Closed
100%
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.
 2 CoreBug ReportHigh pndnotifyd Closed
100%
Task Description pndnotifyd needs to be restarted before it works (tested in image 2009-12-21) This can manually be fixed by installing two packages: http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/unstable/feed/armv7a/base/sessreg_1.0.4-r0.2_armv7a.ipk http://djwillis.openpandora.org/pandora/packages/pandora-libpnd_1.0-r12.5_armv7a.ipk And adding to lines to slim.conf: sessionstart_cmd /usr/bin/sessreg -a -l $DISPLAY %user sessionstop_cmd /usr/bin/sessreg -d -l $DISPLAY %user

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
 20 CoreBug ReportLow pndevmapperd: op_lid.sh / op_lidtoggle.sh Closed

Task Description pndevmapperd tries to run /usr/pandora/scripts/op_lidtoggle.sh, however, the filename is /usr/pandora/scripts/op_lid.sh Either rename the file or change the call ;)
 26 CoreBug ReportMedium pndevmapperd only works when manually started Closed
100%
Task Description Though pndevmapperd runs after booting (ps -A lists it), it doesn't react to anything. EDIT: It DOES do something. It creates defunct op_menu.sh with each press. When you run it manually from the terminal, the menu button works find and shows the appfinder.
 189 CoreBug ReportMedium pnd-run.sh does not work correctly for very long <pathn ...Closed
100%
Task Description When unmounting, the pnd-run-script greps the output of "losetup -a" at some point. But if you have a very long pathname and filename for the pnd (like "/media/trans8/gamedata/scummvm/Secret_of_Monkey_Islands_Amiga_EN.pnd" then the endpart is cut off in the output, grep can't find the right part and the script get's confused. Example: mounting works: /usr/pandora/scripts/pnd_run.sh -p /media/trans8/gamedata/scummvm/Secret_of_Monkey_Islands_Amiga_EN.pnd -b scummvm -m unounting does not work: /usr/pandora/scripts/pnd_run.sh -p /media/trans8/gamedata/scummvm/Secret_of_Monkey_Islands_Amiga_EN.pnd -b scummvm -u (see /tmp/pndrun*-logs for output) The problem is that the outut of losetup looks like this in such a case: "/dev/loop7: [b309]:157081 (/media/trans8/gamedata/scummvm/Secret_of_Monkey_Islands_Amiga_*)" And because the pnd-name is not fully shown, grepping the name does not work. After i renamed th pnd to a much shorter name (somi_amiga_en.pnd) it worked nicely. Still this should be fixed.
 201 CoreBug ReportHigh PND apps still use memory after they've quit Closed
100%
Task Description After running and quitting a PND app, not all of the used memory is being freed. This eats more and more memory over time. Just run 5 or 6 apps and you only have half of the memory left. Sounds like either aufs or unionfs don't free the memory after unmounting. This has been reported with HF4 and still is the case with HF5 Beta 2 -- downgraded to 'Researching' and 'Normal' priority until confirmed and details found

 220 CoreFeature RequestLow Please include /usr/bin/xkbset Closed
100%
Task Description One of the first things after installing HF5 was downloading xkbset, because it is necessary for proper L-R buttons mapping as mouse buttons. Could you please include that in the system? I am using urjaman's executable from here: http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/55124-remapping-the-mouse-buttons-etc/page__st__15__p__896576&#entry896576 Even better would be a GUI that allows mapping of L-R buttons for mouse, just like GUI for nubs :) But including xkbset will be already good.

 279 CoreFeature RequestMedium pidgin requires (more) locales to work correctly Closed
100%
Task Description Please add the following package to allow umlauts working in pidgin: glibc-gconv-utf-16 After installing this package I no longer have a problem receiving umlauts in pidgin. Besides it might also make sense to add "glibc-gconv-cp1250" which might be required for western europe and koi8-r which seems to be missing for xchat and conversion of chars there. At the moment the following locale related packages are installed (as of SuperZaxxon Beta3): glibc-charmap-utf-8 - 2.9-r35.3.5 glibc-gconv - 2.9-r35.3.5 glibc-gconv-cp1252 - 2.9-r35.3.5 glibc-gconv-ibm850 - 2.9-r35.3.5 glibc-gconv-iso8859-1 - 2.9-r35.3.5 glibc-gconv-iso8859-15 - 2.9-r35.3.5 Please add: glibc-gconv-cp1250 glibc-gconv-koi8-r glibc-gconv-unicode glibc-gconv-utf-16 Thanks!

 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.

 44 CoreBug ReportMedium Pandora-Start-Menu button too small Closed
100%
Task Description Since about mid January, the Openpandora-Startmenu-Button doesn't resize when the "Show Title" is enabled. Therefore, you only see parts of the "OpenPandora"-Title and no icon. Disabling the title shows the icon. I have no idea how to resize it and why this happened (the theme hasn't been changed as far as I know)

 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.
 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.

 61 CoreFeature RequestMedium Packages to remove and include Closed
100%
Task Description The following packages can be removed: embryo gnome-games gnome-games-blackjack gnome-games-gnometris gnome-games-iagno gnome-games-gtali gnome-games-gnobots2 xmms-mad But we need the following ones: xmms-plugin-input-mpg123 xmms-plugin-input-mikmod mikmod libxxf86dga1 epdfview gnumeric (if possible, would be nice) I do wonder though if we should remove all gnome-games (and ScummVM) completely. Makes more sense if we wrap those games up as PND files. Same goes for the community wallpapers. Should we include them? Or save that space for other things?

100%
Task Description Please add to next hotfix, srb2 needed this file. My temporary hack was to modify the LD_LIBRARY_PATH (didnt like having to so this, but I think the way srb2 is loading the library it wouldnt work without it) and include the library in the pnd. Once this lib is added ill do an update on srb2 and remove the LD hack.

 176 CoreBug ReportMedium op_power.sh: problematic display brightness restoring a ...Closed
100%
Task Description Since hotfix4 it is possible to reduce the value for display brightness below '3'. Thus the script op_power.sh (the one used for low power mode) has to be adjusted accordingly. Currently line 25 in this script looks like this: if [ $oldbright -ge 3 ] && [ $oldbright -le $maxbright ]; then Please change the "-ge 3" part to "-ge 1" so that lower modes are possible, too. Otherwise the screen will be set to max brightness if you have selected a value of '1' when going into powersave mode. Somehow it looks like what is possible to select via the hotkeys and what is possible via the "application" differs. In the script op_lcdsettings.sh in line 11 a minimum brightness of 3 seems to be defined, with the hotkeys it is even possible to go down to 0 (screen off) or values like 1 and 2. This is the relevant line: minbright=3 Brightness restoring appears to be problematic in op_lid.sh, too. Just have a look at line 25 in this script: if [ $oldbright -ge 3 ] && [ $oldbright -le $maxbright ]; then Another issue is that the clockrate of 14MHz is simply too low to be reasonable. Please do adjust it to 125MHz instead, since this seems to be what TI recommends and what makes most sense since starting with hotfix4 this is where the lowest powermode (OPP0) is entered. When clocking down to 14MHz issues like the clock not working correctly come up. Relevant lines in op_power.sh: line 14, restoring old clockrate: if [ $oldspeed -gt 14 ] && [ $oldspeed -le 900 ]; then line 72, setting the clockrate for low power mode: echo 14 > /proc/pandora/cpu_mhz_max
 233 CoreBug ReportVery Low op_power.sh: errors Closed
100%
Task Description op_power.sh gives some errors to me... it works anyway, but it's not nice to see them all the time. /usr/pandora/scripts/op_power.sh: line 60: [: 5380: binary operator expected or /usr/pandora/scripts/op_power.sh: line 60: [: too many arguments I guess line 60 of op_power.sh if [ ! $wlstate ]; then should rather be if [ -z "$wlstate" ]; then shouldn't it? The same thing is in line Then sometimes also rm: cannot remove `/tmp/wlstate': No such file or directory or cat: /tmp/wlstate: No such file or directory which could easily be fixed by adding a test -f /tmp/wlstate && or something like that before the respective command. I just added a lot of test, I'm not sure if every single one of them is really needed, but better too much than not enough, I would say. :-) I can't attach a file (I click the button and nothing happens), so I just paste it there: http://nopaste.info/2256365eba.html It's a bit longer because some indentations were wrong (and I corrected them) and I changed all indentations to tabs = 8 spaces instead of 2.

 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

 42 CoreBug ReportLow op_defaultgui.sh: sed needs sudo access Closed

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 :)
 334 CoreBug ReportLow op_bright_down.sh: error when decreasing brightness Closed
100%
Task Description

The script does not handle brightness "0".

If you try to decrease brightness if it's already at 0, it produces errors:

Not sure how to attach a patch here, but you can get the change with:

git pull git://git.assembla.com/openpandora-oe.git bug-333

I also changed the script to use /bin/sh since it's a valid posix script.

 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 ;)

 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.

Task Description Only root can login over serial or ttys, and only if it has no password. Ssh login works fine. After some debugging it seems to be PAM issue, possibly recipes/shadow/ misconfiguration in OE.

Task Description often but not always after shutting down the system (xfce logout, choose shutdown) thereĀ“s a problem when booting again. i got the normal bootscreen but when x an xfce should start the screen remains black. i cannot say if the x or xfce didnĀ“ start or if it is a problem with the backlight intensity. rebooting with pandora key and power key leads to the same situation. the only thing that seems to help is to remove the battery shortly. so, what is the difference beetween reboot after powerdown and reboot after replacing the battery? there could be the point to fix this problem.
