 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.
 264 CoreBug ReportLow Issues with HOTFIX 6 R1 Beta Closed
100%
Task Description I started with hotfix 5 and when I used the Left Nub for mouse movement it performed well. I installed HOTFIX 6 R1 Beta and the Nub works fine except pushing up. It moves the cursor very slow and all other directions just fine. The other nub works just fine as well. This only began after I installed HF6R1B. I also had to install the Hotfix twice due to sustained system freeze upon start up on the first attempt. I enabled gui choice but minimenu does not function it just cycles back to GUI choice.
258ApplicationBug ReportLowMiniMenu: Pressing key multiple times only cycles focus...Unconfirmed
0%
Task Description EXAMPLE: MiniMenu with the option "Subcategories as folders" YES, and the current active tab i.e. "Game" lists: Subgenre folders: ActionGame, AdventureGame, ArcadeGame, BlocksGame, … App items: Abuse, Amoeboax, Arkaniod, Bloqus, … THE BUG: Pressing "A" multiple times only cycles the focus between folders (ActionGame, AdventureGame, ArcadeGame), but never reaches the app items (Abuse, Amoeboax, Arkaniod). BESIDES THIS BUG in the current keyboard item selection logic, I kindly inquire to implement: FS#243

Task Description If the power cable is plugged and the user chooses "Shutdown Pandora" from a menu, there should be a warning that this is without purpose, as the device will automatically restart. The resulting user choices should be "Cancel shutdown" and "Shutdown nevertheless".

Task Description a) Host multiple volumes at once. b) Select one for hosting first, later host additional ones. (I guess this scenario is more complicated)
 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.
 245 CoreFeature RequestLow BugTracker: Submitter shall be able to edit bug after p ...Closed
0%
Task Description I accidentally posted a "feature request" as a "bug report" within the FlySpray BugTracker. I wanted to correct my mistake. It was not possible to edit it. I assigned the bug to myself. Then I could edit it. But now I cannot un-assign it from me. I merely wanted to suggest a feature but not take development responsibility (yet). For original submitters, who later realize a mistake in their post, there should be a possibility to correct their mistake. Please un-assign me from #237 #241 #243 and this one #245. Thanks.
244ApplicationFeature RequestLowInclude man and the manpagesUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description The command line environment of the default OS does not include the command "man" and the respective manpages of the installed programs. I personally often use manpages, as I hardly remember the syntax/arguments of all programs I use. Having them would be very convenient! EVALUATING NEEDED STORAGE AMOUNT Some may argue that storage space is quite limited on the NAND. Yes I agree. Hence the number of included programs is limited too. Hence it would not be all too many manpages. When I press TAB into an empty Terminal prompt, I get 1406 possibilities, which is about the amount of available commands/programs if we ignore aliases, etc. Multiply that with an average of 20 kb per manpage, and you get about 30 MB in total. With compression this could possibly be brought down to 15-20 MB. POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS A) Store into the NAND the manpages of core OS CLI programs only, and not all the library/system/etc documentation. B) Include only the man command into the core OS, and compile/configure it in such a fashion, that it finds the manpages within non-NAND media (SD card, USB volume, etc). b1) Specify that it simply looks into a certain path within the /media/*/pandora/ structure. b2) Or offer PND packages like man-core.pnd, man-extended.pnd,... you get the idea or even man-custom.pnd (which would look into its appdata or a certain path for custom added manpages, to somehow get the b1 approach within the PND approach).
 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.
240ApplicationFeature RequestLowMiniMenu shall return into full screen mode (more quick...Unconfirmed
0%
Task Description If you set MiniMenu's option "Live (not exit) on app run?" to YES, and you quit an application and return to the still running MiniMenu, it runs in windowed mode, and takes about 2 seconds until it goes into full screen mode again. This delay should at best be not noticeable at all, at most 0-1 seconds.
239ApplicationFeature RequestLowMiniMenu: New option: Grid stop horizontalUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description I am suggesting the new option "Grid stop horizontal" for MiniMenu with the following possible settings and their effect. Yes -> If the boundary is reached the focus remains there. No -> If the boundary is reached the focus starts at the opposite side again. Jump to next/prev line -> If the boundary is reached the focus jumps to the next/previous line and the opposite side.
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.
236CoreBug ReportLowCannot unmount SD-CardUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description SD-Card in Pandora can only be unmounted by guest (uid=1000) but not by jgeiss (uid=1001). Steps To Reproduce: Insert SD-Card (or boot with SD-Card inserted), Login as jgeiss (uid=1001), Try to unmount SD-Card via XFCE-Popup-Menu (right mouse click on SD-Card-Icon and select unmount).
 235 CoreBug ReportLow File /tmp/currentuser cannot be deleted by other users Closed
100%
Task Description The system creates a file /tmp/currentuser at the first login of a user. After logging out and in as another user the file still contains the previous user name. An cannot be deleted/overwritten by the new user. Steps To Reproduce: At least two users are available and have XFCE GUI enabled. 1. Login as user (eg. guest), a file /tmp/currentuser is created (containing guest) 2. Log out 3. Log in as another user (eg. jgeiss), the file still contains the old name 4. Change GUI to PMenu 5. Log out 6. Log in as first user (guest) Now the first user (guest) has PMenu as GUI which was set by the second user (jgeiss). Maybe the permission should be 0666 for this file?
 232 CoreBug ReportLow HF6 - charged completed with lid closed causing keyboar ...Closed

Task Description HF6 - It seems as when charging finishes with pandora on then charge light goes out (charge completed assuming) keyboard not functioning just gamepad. Can't use letters to cycle through in mini minimenu or use space to pull up ovr settings. Will test further
 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.
 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.
 228 CoreBug ReportLow libpnd must be linked to libstdc++ Closed
100%
Task Description Run "ldd -r /usr/lib/libpnd.so.1", and a number of undefined symbols are listed. These become a problem when attempting to load libpnd in Python. I imagine it could be a problem when attempting to load libpnd in other languages as well. This can be worked around with "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libstdc++.so" before running a Python program that loads libpnd. But it can be worked around more easily by linking libstdc++ during compile. Adding "-lstdc++" to line 41 of libpnd's Makefile does it. I'd add a patch, but the attach file button isn't working for me. Still, a simple fix, right?
227CoreBug ReportLowDelete button won't delete, and function lock doesn't w...Unconfirmed
50%
Task Description If you hit the function button, then hit it again to lock the function keys, it doesn't lock the function key. The delete key, hold shift and hit the back space button, it won't delete, meaning it won't remove the character to the right of the cursor. I saw this on the forum, and confirmed it on my pandora also.
 224 CoreBug ReportLow Unresponsive start menu since HF5 Closed

Task Description Since hotfix 5, the start menu often pauses for a few seconds, not letting me select anything or move the mouse. Other people have reported the issue as well: http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/topic/2295-is-the-xfce-menu-trolling-anyone-else/page__gopid__42559#entry42559

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.
 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.

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
 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
 212 CoreFeature RequestLow Add curl to core installed programs Closed
100%
Task Description I wish for curl to be installed by default on the upcoming pandora FWs, As reported by the angstrom repo, where I install using the command: $sudo su ... #opkg update #opkg install curl curl 7.21.2-r4.0.9 is 78.57 Kilobytes with the dependencies Depends:libcurl4, libgnutls26, libgcrypt11, libgpg-error0, libc6, libz1 I do not know which is installed by default, but I'm sure libc6 is, so I'm going to state the info on the rest of the packages for its memory space usage on the NAND libcurl4(142.99 Kilobytes): Command line tool and library for client-side URL transfers. Depends:libc6, libgnutls26, libz1, libgcrypt11, libgpg-error0, as you can see, it has the same dependencies as above, so it seems both curl and libcurl are probably exclusive from the others, but I will go forward and state the rest of the dependencies libgnutls26 2.8.6-r10.0.5 (291.44 Kilobytes) Depends:libz1, libgcrypt11, libgpg-error0, libc6, (again, it looks like the above depends on this) libgcrypt11 1.4.1-r0.9 (220.35 Kilobytes) Depends: libgpg-error0, libc6, (Oh look, we're not looking at libz1 anymore) libgpg-error0 1.4-r7.1.9 (5.78 Kilobytes) Depends:libc6 now to the lone libz1 libz1 1.2.3-r7.0.9 (41.95 Kilobytes) Depends:libc6 So, in the case we already have the gpg stuff, then the installation is only 221.56KB, however, with the zlib and the gpg included, the total comes to 781.08KB So, now that the cost is out of the way, What are the goods and bads? Good: Its a very versatile CLI program to get and send information over http through the network, and is tolerant of network issues It doesn't take too much space relative to things that have been pulled out, like abiword. The libcurl is a very good library, and could be of great benefit to some future projects. Bad: Well, we already have wget, which is not as configurable, and wget hates Craig's appstore Here's the link to curl on the repo http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo/?pkgname=curl

Task Description The patch implementing screen blanking uses the /usr/pandora/scripts/op_lid.sh script to control LCD backlit: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=openembedded.git;a=blob;f=recipes/xorg-driver/xf86-video-omapfb/pandora_backlight_dim.patch;h=4a0b8432d083c6e7297192a2920c7a777ae3d098;hb=16f3fff44323bd6b4349d909667b51a2fef3f278 The same result can be achieved by using the sys interface: /sys/devices/platform/twl4030-pwm0-bl/backlight/twl4030-pwm0-bl/bl_power This approach makes driver independent on particular distribution. The proposed patch is attached.
 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.
179CoreBug ReportLow.vimrc-preset for user but not for rootUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description I am running PandoraOS from sd-card installed with the official tarball "pandora-rootfs.tar.bz2". I noticed that the control/keyboard-mapping in vi does not work correctly after switching to root (for example sudo su-). I solved this by copying over my users .vimrc to root-homedir. This should already be included in the tarball.
178CoreBug ReportLowMount-loop when booting from SD-cardUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description When booting the pandora-OS from sd-card by using the official tar, you will end up with your sd-card being mounted twice: once as / and once as /media/. I solved this by adding "/dev/mmcblk0" to "/etc/udev/mount.blacklist". Maybe this should be added to the default tarball? I'm not sure as it might be used in other ways maybe (beside SD-card-installation)? Background: I ran "updatedb" as root and have been notified by a message that there was a mount-loop. After adding the above modification the system still booted fine and "updatedb" ran nicely without a warning.

This is here because a) it is the bison that i get with opkg install bison and b) because i could find a general purpose bugtracker for stuff in the angstrom repo with a single googling.

 164 CoreBug ReportLow Display brightness not restored at booting, HF4beta3 Closed
100%
Task Description The update from Hotfix3 to Hotfix4 beta3 broke restoring of display brightness at boot time. Restoring of brightness after "powersave mode" (aka flipping the power switch for a short time) does work nicely. This might be related to bug #163 ( http://bugs.openpandora.org/index.php?do=details&task_id=163 ) where shutting the display down via DPMS does result in the brightness being lost when getting the display on again. This is related to the desktop mode (XFCE). Don't know if it does happen for minimenu, too, not tested yet.
 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".
