300 | Core | Bug Report | Low | SuperZaxxon interprets on-disk FAT32 filenames differen... | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
With SuperZaxxon Final, I've noticed that stuff running on the Pandora like Thunar and bash are seeing a different interpretation of filenames on disk than when I remove the SD card and insert it into my desktop PC.
Specifically, the following two mismatches appear to be present when using a FAT32-formatted SD card:
First, the Pandora's VFAT support seems to be be operating with different case-handling settings than desktop Linux distros.
Filenames set in all uppercase are forced to all-lowercase on the Pandora (whether they're set on the desktop or the Pandora) but inserting the card into a PC reveals that the. All-lowercase filenames set by software on the Pandora risk appearing in all uppercase when the card is inserted into a PC. (I think the grsync PND is what created the files in question)
Among other things, this forces me to use EITHER the PND-based copy of grsync over the network OR a desktop-based copy of rsync with an SD card reader but not both because the kernel will preserve case differences like ALBION.BAT vs. albion.bat but rsync think they are separate files. (resulting in Flash-killing, time-wasting deletion and re-creation)
It also makes for irritating entries like "zzt" in DOSBox or "ddr" in PyDance where I can't capitalize the filename properly without employing Department of Redundancy Department with "DDR Songs" or "ZZT.The.Game" as an excuse for mixed case.
Second, SuperZaxxon Final seems to be using a different (though still Unicode-capable) filename encoding than all the desktop distros I've tried.
Filenames are preserved properly and all-ASCII filenames are displayed properly in all cases, but any non-ASCII characters appear as gibberish on whichever system was not used to set them.
I've confirmed this problem with these two filenames:
- 03 - The Foggy Dew with Sinéad O'Connor.flac
- Lucky Star - Native Misao (Touhou - Native Faith) ???????????????????×??????.mp4
As a Canadian user, my desktops use the "en_CA.utf8" locale and the only other distros I've found which have this problem are Slax and the 1.0 release of its successor, Porteus, both of which use ISO-8859-1 (latin1) for filenames. |

302 | Core | Bug Report | Low | Correct keymap not available during login process | Closed | |
Task Description
The correct keymap, as matching the characters printed on the keys, is available when running the First Boot Wizard, but not during login.
This means that special characters like ! ( ) and so on, which you enter via Fn-[2nd key] cannot currently be used in a username nor password.
My first experience with my Pandora was therefore that I had to reflash the OS due to this as I had locked myself out because I used a special character in my first chosen password.

304 | Core | Bug Report | Low | bluetooth serial port sleep causes lost / frozen connec ... | Closed | |
Task Description
I experienced (reliably) 3 times that if I had an idle ppp/rfcomm connection to my phone, it would eventually freeze so that the phone reported no active bluetooth connection and the pandora ppp would still think that the connection is active, but no data would flow. Killing pppd and re-trying would fail opening of the rfcomm link with "Host is down".
Disabling & enabling bluetooth "fixed" this so that pppd worked again (so it is not the phone that was "down").
Adding these lines to op_bluetooth_work.sh (apparently atleast) fixed it for me:
add between lines 14-15:
echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/omap_uart.0/sleep_timeout
(or at any place during enable for that matter)
And to disable (before exit 0, line 30) to save power when bluetooth is off and restore normal settings:
echo 10 > /sys/devices/platform/omap_uart.0/sleep_timeout
I remember mentioning this way back when I last tested bluetooth, but got a reply that this should not be needed because we have flow control between the bt chip and pandora. But if a sleeping serial port loses a character when somebody sends a burst to it, what could flow control do? If it reported not ready to receive, the character would never be sent (and things would freeze...). If it reports ready to receive (what I think it does) the character will be lost. One would need to periodically disable the serial port sleep (and enable ready to receive) for a moment to check for pending data, but I think this would use more power than keeping the serial port active and/or possibly cause way too big delays.
I'm not really certain of this thing (whether this is a workaround, hack or a real fix... and whether my interpretation of what is happening is correct - i have no real proof), but I think that reporting what I've found is better than not. (And am I the only user of bluetooth with an old phone for internet (ppp+rfcomm, not pan)? ...) |

313 | Core | Bug Report | Low | WiFi LED Not Triggered on First Activation | Closed | |
Task Description
The first time WiFi is enabled after boot, using either the the config button menu or the Toggle WiFi menu option the WiFi LED does not light up. (though the WiFi itself does work)
Once it has been enabled and disabled for the first time, it will work normally for subsequent uses of the WiFi toggle.
If the Toggle WiFi script is launched for the first time from the terminal the LED does light up.
This is the case in SuperZaxxon 1.53 with all current upgrades applied, and reportedly since the introduction of SuperZaxxon.
checking /sys/class/leds/pandora::wifi/trigger while the WiFi is enabled but the LED off shows that the trigger has been successfully set to phy0radio
Also noted while investigating this:
If Wifi is enabled for the first time from the terminal the following errors are generated by /etc/init.d/wl1251-init
Usage: insmod filename [args]
find: /lib/modules/3.2.30/updates: No such file or directory

The commands that generate these errors are only executed if the mac80211 module is not already loaded - and that module is not unloaded when wifi is disabled. This seems to be unrelated to the issue being reported, however I can't see any cause for the issue at all, so I figured it was worth including it in the report anyway. |

320 | Core | Bug Report | Low | Bluetooth connection lost after wake-up from sleep mode | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
When an internet connection was established through a mobile phone (Android, tethering) via bluetooth, the internet connection will not be re-established when the Pandora was sent to sleep and woken up again. The Pandora seems to be connected to the mobile phone, but no internet connection can be established, not even when manually trying to connect. The only way out is to disable bluetooth and enable it again.
I had similar problems with WiFi, before notaz tweaked the system (http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php/topic/11416-wifi-mysteries-resolved-once-and-for-all-—-power-saving-is-clearly-the-culprit/?p=249036). |

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. |

328 | Core | Bug Report | Low | XFCE desktop icons not displayed when logging on too qu... | Requires testing | |
Task Description
It looks like XFCE cannot find the icons for links/launchers on the desktop, when the user logs on too quickly. This happens either when the session chooser at start-up is disabled, or when the session is being chosen quickly after the session chooser is being displayed (e.g. by pressing enter as soon as the chooser window pops up). The icons are probably not generated yet at that time point.
A simple workaround is adding the command "xfdesktop --reload" to autostart. Couls this be included in the next SuperZaxxon release or a hotfix? |

329 | Core | Bug Report | Low | Screen turns on when LCD closed | Unconfirmed | |
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. |

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 ;) |

90 | Base OS | Feature Request | Low | Adding more "general libs" to the OS image | Closed | |
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. ;) |

123 | Base OS | Feature Request | Low | Suggestions for the Pandora-Button | New | |
Task Description
My suggestion instead of a full menu, would be to have a tiny overlay over the current running application which allows you to:
- relogin (to close all running applications)
- quit (stop the active application)
- shows the last notifications / toaster messages which you missed while being in a fullscreen app.
- possibly even something like plugin support or icons to check out the wifi-strength etc. from fullscreen apps.
Implementation wise this could possibly be done using
- a topmost window and the same content rendered in screenspace in a GLES hook (which should draw over most applications)
or
- one of the DSS2 overlays maybe
It's definitely something to consider as it was requested on the forums a few times (~"xbox like menu in games"). |

The current vim install does come without any config file. By default this means vim does work in "vi compatible mode" which makes it hardly usable. The attached config file is meant to be used as ~/.vimrc, so it should be added to "/etc/skel/.vimrc". The file is partly based on the default config used by gentoo.
Things this config file sets:
* Start in "vim mode" by default
* activate ruler
* set width of linenumber in ruler
* assume that the terminal uses a dark background
* configure what hitting backspace removed (newlines, ...)
* some magic to have different encoding formats working in a more sane way |

212 | Core | Feature Request | Low | Add curl to core installed programs | Closed | |
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

238 | Application | Feature Request | Low | Quick key access to OK in dialogues | Unconfirmed | |
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. |

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). |

245 | Core | Feature Request | Low | BugTracker: Submitter shall be able to edit bug after p ... | Closed | |
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. |

251 | Core | Feature Request | Low | SD Mass Storage: Possibility to host multiple volumes | Unconfirmed | |
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) |
