 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.
 20 CoreBug ReportLow pndevmapperd: op_lid.sh / op_lidtoggle.sh Closed
100%
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 ;)
 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
 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

100%
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.
 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!
 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.
 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.
 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!

Task Description qt-embedded doesn't work
 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.
 25 CoreBug ReportMedium QWERTY Slowdowns Closed
100%
Task Description Cleaned up a bit according to everything we know. EDIT: notaz did it again. Fixed it. If you find any weird side effects, let us know :) http://notaz.gp2x.de/tmp/Xorg Replace the file /usr/bin/Xorg Be sure to change permissions to 755 Switching between DPAD and keyboard does increase CPU usage on X A LOT. It even tends to crash ALSA if done too extensive. According to notaz, this is due to some very old crap that's still included in X. Internally it has one mouse and one keyboard, everything else is copied every time you press a key and bunch of callbacks are called, messages are sent to all screens and windows. New tests from EvilDragon: Disabling xfwm4 makes things better (ALSA won't crash anymore), but it still lags. Running it in minimal X (directly from .xinitrc) strangely fixes this - X won't eat up more than 17% CPU, regardless how many buttons you press. OLD Entry: The qwerty controls when pressed are causing the system to slowdown making the application running to pause/delay. Ive seen in a least 2 application glquake and supertux. For example pressing space would cause the hiccups and shortly after the pressing stopped the application would regain normal running speed. The other joystick/nub controls work fine. glquake is getting controls direct from the event files. Supertux is using the SDL layer. This was done on angstrom image from dec 19th. EDIT: More tests done by EvilDragon with the latest image (pandora-xfce-image-omap3-pandora-20100102-new-kernel-fn-n-m-support.tar.bz2) When you play with the DPAD and press a keyboard button, the app is making the small pause. You can press as many keyboard buttons as you want after that, there won't be another pause. BUT as soon as you press the DPAD again, it pauses again. Then the next pause does happen when you press a keyboard button, etc. So it feels like it pauses when you switch between DPAD and keyboard. The most important thing: This only happens when you run SDL Games from X. It doesn't occur when running SDL games from the console.
 136 CoreBug ReportHigh rather high battery discharge while Pandora is powered  ...Closed
100%
Task Description The Pandora does seem to use too much energy while it is turned off. A testcase: The pandora was turned off over night (about 8 hours) and battery state dropped from 98% to 96%. When removing the battery from the pandora for the same amount of time, the state is not changed at all. This is based on the zaxxon firmware release with hotfix3, beta2. Problem: if you don't use the pandora for a while and forget to remove the battery you can cause a deep discharge which might damage the battery. This is also a problem if the Pandora does eg shutdown itself since power is out and you can't directly attach it to a charger. Possible causes: * Design fault in the board. * Too much powered on while the device *should* be completely powered off. The only things that should get power are the clock and the power button. This should basically not drain much. Regarding the clock: The PalmPre is based on the OMAP3, too. There you basically have no discharge when it is powered off, so it is unlikely that the fault is in the OMAP3 itself.
 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!
 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
 147 Base OSBug ReportLow Screen backlight is ON when starting with lid closed Closed

100%
Task Description At the moment, SDL is a bit slow and has vsync problems (tearing, etc.). It could need optimizations to use the hardware.
 230 CoreBug ReportLow Second SD slot not working in future kernel version 2.6 ...Closed
100%
Task Description Sorry, not sure where to log this bug. I have confirmed with aTc on freenode, that SD slot #2 does not work on kernel version 2.6.37 from the openpandora git. Happy to test anything and reports results.
 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.
 202 CoreBug ReportLow Set Date and Time won't let you cancel or close Closed
100%
Task Description The Date and Time application in MiniMenu by won't let you use the cross or the cancel button to close the application without changing anything. If you use one of those buttons then a new window opens that says: "Error: Please select a timezone" and equally so for the date and time.
 254 CoreBug ReportHigh Several apps leave graphical artefact overlay (ghost) a ...Closed
100%
Task Description After quitting some apps, their last graphical output remains on the screen, which covers a large area of the Pandora, and therefore makes it quite unusable, so that only a full restart resolves this issue. As this happens in many apps (Mednafen-GB, Dark Light Battles, etc) this must be a problem within a shared library (driver, graphics lib, window manager framework, or similar).

100%
Task Description It seems like slim doesn't send the session to .xinitrc I included an "echo $1 >> ~/debug.txt" in the script and the file was completely empty. That's why it always starts xfce4, not pmenu: The fallback is startxfce4.

 195 CoreFeature RequestHigh Start re-recharge of battery sooner Closed
100%
Task Description Increase battery LVL_4 and LVL_3 threshold. After reaching 100%, in some cases the charge circuit enters "battery full" state, stops charging, and begins to discharge. This is not entirely unexpected behavior according to the spec sheet, although I don't fully understand exactly the situations in which it completes charging. Once the battery is full, the battery will begin discharging. The charge circuit automatically restarts the recharge once the voltage has gone below a certain level (crosses below the LVL_3 voltage threshold) The default LVL_3 voltage threshold is 3.902 volts which is at about 80-85% battery level as recorded by bq27500 chip. In my opinion, this is way too low. Setting the BCIMFTH2 register to 0xCB increases the voltage threshold to about 4.003 volts which is about 93%. Setting it to 0xDC may also be worthwhile, which is just over 95%. By default, if a user leaves their Pandora plugged in overnight, they may wake up to find their Pandora has stopped charging and the capacity has dropped to almost 80%, which can be quite startling to some users who will then report it as a bug. This change will ensure that it never drops below 93-95%, a much more acceptable level. Specific code changes suggested, in the /drivers/power/twl4030_bci_battery.c file, somewhere in the twl4030_bci_battery_probe function (or a function called by it), add the lines: /********************************/ #define KEY_FTH2 0x7F #define REG_BCIMFTH2 0x017 ret = twl4030_i2c_write_u8(TWL4030_MODULE_MAIN_CHARGE, KEY_FTH2, REG_BCIMFKEY); if (ret) return ret; ret = twl4030_i2c_write_u8(TWL4030_MODULE_MAIN_CHARGE, 0xDC, REG_BCIMFTH2); if (ret) return ret; /********************************/ (Move defines to the top, as appropriate)

Task Description Using SuperZaxxon beta3 (already observed it with beta2) it seems as if minimenu is not scanning all folders (and subfolders) correctly. Please have a look at this post for more information: http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/topic/7558-superzaxxon-beta-2-released/page__st__140#entry138597
 248 CoreFeature RequestMedium Support for hibernation by caching to SD card Closed
100%
Task Description It would be very desirable that the PandoraOS could hibernate, and that this action can easily be accessed/triggered with either a hotkey or as an action for the max-idle-time-event or lid-close-event. That would be the battery friendly universal action to quickly pause/resume any arbitrary application/task. The current standby mode is far to power consuming for breaks longer than ~ 1 hour. Improving standby mode to be more battery-friendly would of course be too highly appreciated and practical. If hibernation is triggered, RAM content gets written to a special file or partition on a SD card. The boot-manager of course needs to recognize such a RAM-file on SD-cards. In case it finds more than 1, i.e.: multiple cards/partitions, the one with the newest timestamp gets priority. 256MB RAM with about 10-20 MB/s read/write time to SD, would result in 25-12 seconds for going into or out of hibernation, which would be acceptable for me. In practice it would mean, that if I quickly have to pause me OpenPandora operation (i.e. train stop), I just close my lid, and put the Pandora into my pocket (2-4 seconds), and I am then trusting that the rest reliable happens in my pocket (10-20 seconds).
 321 CoreFeature RequestLow Support overriding all category fields with .ovr Closed
100%
Task Description

Currently only the main category and the first sub category of the main category can be overridden using a .ovr file while libpnd uses additional PXML supplied category date to construct the desktop file. This makes it difficult to work with PNDs that supply unwanted data in these additional fields.

 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 When selecting the touchscreen calibration within the first-boot-wizard, the script stops after the calibration and the Pandora continues to boot.
 231 CoreBug ReportLow Touchscreen not accurate on the edges - Calibration doe ...Closed
100%
Task Description The touchscreen is accurate in the middle of the screen but precision is off by one or more mm near the edges of the screen. Recalibrating and rebooting does not help. Seems like this is just a permission problem - tslib saves calibration data to /etc/pointercal which is noch writeable for the regular user. Changing permission on that file to 666 solves this, but i guess starting the calibration tool with root permission (gksu?) would be a better solution.
 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.
 224 CoreBug ReportLow Unresponsive start menu since HF5 Closed

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.
 171 CoreFeature RequestMedium Update clock from hardware when restoring from low powe ...Closed
100%
Task Description The clock occasionally does weird things during low power mode, sometimes gaining time, sometimes losing. This is most likely a result of the CPU being reduced to 14Mhz and the system clock being unable to keep up. A convenient work around is to make a call to "/sbin/hwclock --hctosys" during wake-up to load the hardware clock back into the system clock. This may add an extra second or two to the wake-up time but will prevent confusion caused by clock being very incorrect.
