325CoreBug ReportLowImpossible to not set password at first boot Unconfirmed
0%
Task Description

The Wiki states that the Pandora can be used without setting a user password on first boot. But when the password and password confirmation field are left empty, an error pops up saying that there is a password missmatch.

(Please don't fix this bug by just changing the statement in the Wiki ;-)

326CoreBug ReportLowXFCE menu not expandingl with stylys and scrolling brok...Unconfirmed
0%
Task Description

The XFCE menu does not always show submenues like "Emulators" when being clicked on with the stylus. It only works if the click lasts long or after all menues have been clicked at once with a long click.

Also, tipping on a scroll arrof of menues that are higher than the screen causes the click to be registered as a "click and hold". This leads to the menu being scrolled all the way to the end.

327CoreFeature RequestLowContext menu for the XFCE menuUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description

Right now. the XFCE menu handles right clicks like left clicks. It would be more logical to either not do anything on a right click, or open a context menu that e.g. lets the user generate a link to an application on the desktop.

329CoreBug ReportLowScreen turns on when LCD closedUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description

Issue: The screen accidentally turns on even when the lid is closed.

How to reproduce: "Screen blanking" must be enabled! Close the lid, wait more than 10 minutes, tap either shoulder button.  This behaviour happens whether on charge or battery, at the desktop or running an application, provided that the "screen blanking" option is enabled.

Desired outcome: When the Pandora comes out of "screen blanking", it should restore the brightness to the same value that it was before blanking.

330CoreBug ReportLowNetworkManager crashes after suspend to RAMUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description

Suspend to RAM uses less power than the low power mode, but the NetworkManager crashes often after the Pandora woke up from suspend to RAM.

This could be fixed with an update of NetworkManager.

 14 CoreTo Do (Reminder)Low Add hup of pndnotifyd to .xinitrc Closed
100%
Task Description Pretty minor risk, but if the guy creates multiple accounts on the machine, and logs out of one and into another .. we'll want to hup pndnotifyd Alternative solution is to poll utmp (or inotify on utmp?) to watch for logins and handle it magicly.

Task Description The commands do exist, I just need to wrap them round some zenity scripts.
 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. ;)
 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.

100%
Task Description Don't know how much work this would be to get a later version of the linux firmware to add this, but it would be nice to have more filesystem support.
 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.

 322 CoreBug ReportLow Allow removal of categories using the libpnd category c ...Closed
100%
Task Description

Since some PNDs provide nonstandard categories like GTK or GNOME, it is desirable to extend the libpnd category mapping with the ability to suppress individual categories completely.

 4 CoreBug ReportLow Missing Icons Closed
100%
Task Description Some icons are missing: XFCE4 Settings Manager: Accessibility, Appearance, Desktop, Display, File Manager, Keyboard, Mouse The icons on the panel (Mail, Web, etc.) are also missing (they're invisibile)

 17 CoreFeature RequestLow Backlight off when display shuts off Closed
100%
Task Description Would it be easy to make the backlight shut off when the screen goes off after a period of inactivity? That would save a lot of energy both during the charge cycle and if left on with a battery running. Thanks!
 19 CoreFeature RequestLow XFCE-Menu Editor Closed
100%
Task Description Add an XFCE-Menu Editor (using python). This way, people can edit the Startmenu :) http://my.opera.com/Texel/blog/2008/02/20/xfce-applications-menu-editor-0-4

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 ;)
 21 CoreBug ReportLow op_bright.sh doesn't work correctly Closed
100%
Task Description The file has to be changed to make it work. The working script is: #!/bin/bash #get value range minbright=3 maxbright=$(cat /sys/devices/platform/twl4030-pwm0-bl/backlight/twl4030-pwm0-bl/max_brightness) curbright=$(cat /sys/devices/platform/twl4030-pwm0-bl/backlight/twl4030-pwm0-bl/brightness) device=/sys/devices/platform/twl4030-pwm0-bl/backlight/twl4030-pwm0-bl/brightness if [ ! $1 ]; then newbright=$(DISPLAY=0:0 zenity --scale --text "set brightness" --min-value=$minbright --max-value=$maxbright --value=$curbright --step 1) else newbright=$1 fi if [ $newbright -le $minbright ]; then newbright=$newbright; fi echo $newbright > $device

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
 24 CoreBug ReportLow op_menu.sh not working Closed
100%
Task Description Reports: xfce4-appfinder: Cannot open display: . Fix might be (according to vimacs): Change those two similar looking lines to: sudo -u $xfceuser DISPLAY=:0.0 xfce4-appfinder and: pidlist=$(pstree -lpA | grep pnd_run.sh | sed -ne 's/.*-\(.*\)(\([0-9]\+\))/\2\n \1/p' | DISPLAY=:0.0 zenity --list --multiple --column "pid" --column "name" --title "kill" --text "which apps should be killed" | sed 's/|/\n/') Needs to be checked.
 27 CoreBug ReportLow xfce4-brightness-plugin: 0 isn't a good minimum value Closed
100%
Task Description The xfce4-brightness-plugin can be set to a minimum of 0. This is kinda confusing to the normal user, as it makes the screen totally black. Maybe this could be changed to a minimum of 3?
 29 CoreTo Do (Reminder)Low ToDo: Map Fn-U and Fn-I with brightness controls Closed

Task Description Include brightness change hotkeys.
 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!
 33 CoreBug ReportLow mmcqd eating lots of CPU power when writing Closed
100%
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.
 34 CoreTo Do (Reminder)Low Add software mixer to ALSA Closed
100%
Task Description Some headphones are very loud. The volume wheel cannot be used properly with them. Therefore, we should be able to change the volume in software mode, too. File attached below, simply needs to be included in the next image by DJWillis.

Task Description Starting the Help Center will freeze AbiWord.
 36 CoreBug ReportLow X doesn't restart in No-X mode (pnd_run.sh) Closed
100%
Task Description At the end of the script, it calls /etc/init.d/slim-init-init start If you fix that to /etc/init.d/slim-init start , X restarting works again. Please apply this fix into the GIT.
 40 CoreBug ReportLow pmenu doesn't show screenshots Closed

Task Description The netbook-launcher displays the logout / reboot / shutdown dialogue, but doesn't do anything when you select anything.
 42 CoreBug ReportLow op_defaultgui.sh: sed needs sudo access Closed
100%
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 :)
 49 CoreTo Do (Reminder)Low Change some of our scripts into internal PNDs Closed
100%
Task Description Some of our scripts (CPU Speed, Switch Default GUI, Enable TV Out) should be changed into PND format so that pmenu can also run them.
 53 CoreBug ReportLow Non-X Touchscreen: Inverted axis Closed
100%
Task Description Running SDL-Apps in Non-X mode have inverted axis.
 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
 60 CoreTo Do (Reminder)Low Include new menufile (Setting) for XFCE4 Closed
100%
Task Description I just built a nice menu file which features subdirectories for games and emulators :) I attached it, the old one should be replaced: /etc/xdg/menus/xfce-applications.menu
 62 CoreTo Do (Reminder)Low New xmodmap to include into latest image Closed
100%
Task Description This is just the latest xmodmap, based on the latest map notaz released. Both maps (xmodmap and notaz' console map) are attached. Path in the image: /etc/skel/.pndXmodmap /etc/keymap-extension-2.6.map
 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.
 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.

 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 ;)
 70 CoreTo Do (Reminder)Low Make switching GUIs more customizable (hardcoded at the ...Closed
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?

 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!

 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 ;)

Task Description With the SDL client for freeciv the font characters show up as square blocks and garbage characters. This may be related to freetype. I had also heard that battle at wesnoth had similar issues.
