23 | Core | Bug Report | Very Low | slim-init doesn't pass session to .xinitrc | Closed | |
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. |

37 | Core | Bug Report | Very Low | Game doesn't start in No-X mode (pnd_run.sh) (Permissi ... | Closed | |
Task Description
EDIT:
Some more information from notaz:
it's failing because it can't find controlling tty (/dev/tty is a "virtual" gateway device, so setting permissions gave no effect)
do "ps ax" on your desktop and it has the tty column
so SDL fbdev driver wants to get a real tty fo be able to read keys
So we need to somehow give it a real tty?
yeah, but I don't know why as pnd start from X and that gives virtual tty
*don't know how*
maybe something can be done using openvt, chvt and similar tools
------
What happens if you run a script in no-X mode:
1. It stops slim
2. It mounts all the directories as needed (works fine).
3. It DOES NOT start the app
4. It unmounts all the directories
5. It restarts slim (and therefore X)
I can confirm the path is correctly and the filesystem is mounted there (did an ls -l).
I can also confirm the game is working fine, as the same PND does work within X if I run it from the terminal using pnd_run supertux_noX.pnd
So it looks like the line that actually executes the game does work when run in X, but not when run outside of X.
Maybe it tries to execute the game on the screen where the script is actually started (X) and therefore can't run it as X is not running anymore?
The line working in X-mode but not working in non-X-Mode:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/mnt/utmp/$BASENAME ./$EXENAME $ARGUMENTS
The game I tried was SuperTux (SDL-Game) with a no-X=1 parameter in the PXML. |

86 | Base OS | Feature Request | Very Low | Including small development frameworks/projects in the ... | Closed | |
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. |

102 | Base OS | Bug Report | Very Low | Pandora key does not close XFCE menu | Closed | |
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. |

105 | Application | Feature Request | Very Low | Nubs feature request | New | |
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. |

106 | Application | Feature Request | Very Low | AppData corruption | Unconfirmed | |
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. |

233 | Core | Bug Report | Very Low | op_power.sh: errors | Closed | |
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. |

270 | Core | Bug Report | Very Low | Power-slider & lid-close events: XFCE observes user set... | New | |
Task Description
STATUS QUO:
If you are in XFCE and hold the power slider for 3 seconds, you thereby trigger the shutdown command.
For 3 more seconds a dialogue box gives you the chance to abort the shutdown ("Shutting down in 3…2…").
Now in MiniMenu no direct shutdown key is available. You first have to quit the running app (via PANDORA key), then call up the menu (via SELECT key), and then navigate to "Shutdown" and confirm it (by B or ENTER).
INQUIRED BEHAVIOR:
1) Thanks to the very recent MiniMenu speedups, these 4 consecutive user interaction steps can now at least be be executed a lot faster.
Nevertheless, offering a 1-button-interaction (via power slider) too, would be nice. Could you please make that available to MiniMenu?
And in general: Make this power-slide-event available to any possible GUI, so that not each GUI has to implement this by itself, but rather the OS catches this event and handles it uniformly, except if a certain GUI WANTS to establish an exception to the rule.
2) Also the "Lid-Close-Settings" seem to be ignored by MiniMenu. MiniMenu seems to have the action "Turn off screen" hardcoded to that event. Please make MiniMenu observe the user settings from "Lid-Close-Settings".

32 | Core | Bug Report | Low | pndnotifyd: Crawling through directories it shouldn't i ... | Closed | |
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 | Core | Bug Report | Low | mmcqd eating lots of CPU power when writing | Closed | |
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. |

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

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 :)
