190 | Core | Bug Report | Medium | Removing desktop-shortkeys does not work | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
Try clearing shortcuts in Start->Settings->Window Manager->Keyboard. That doesn't work (for me).
This is a problem because these shortcuts are blocking key-combination in apps, like for example the keymapper in dosbox (CTRL+F1) or refreshing content (CTRL+F5). I tried manual editing or even deleting the configuration file, but changes are not recognized and the file recreated on reboot. |

158 | Base OS | Bug Report | Medium | Refresh rate and BPP | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
On OS Zaxon (hotfix 3).
With "xfconf-query", the resolution is 800x480@60 Hz.
But with the tool in the menu "Settings" -> "Display", the resolution is 800x480@0 Hz.
With Java (opensdk-6-jre 6b18-1.8),
GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getDefaultScreenDevice().getDisplayModes()
return 1 display mode that is 800x480@0 Hz with a BPP of -1.
It seems to be the reason that GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getDefaultScreenDevice().getDisplayMode() return null
and when closing a java application that goes in fullscreen mode to throw an exception (invalid display mode). |

25 | Core | Bug Report | Medium | QWERTY Slowdowns | Closed | |
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 :)

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. |

242 | Application | Feature Request | Medium | Pressing SHIFT + any key in sequence creates the modifi... | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
ISSUE ENVIRONMENT:
If you hold your Pandora in your hands, you only have your thumbs for typing, hence your typing abilities are quite limited.
It is hard to press more than 2 keys, and hard to press 2 keys on the same side, as your second thumb does not reach the opposite side all too easy (except you have a basketball player's hands).
The modifier keys Start/ALT Select/CTRL Pandora/(META, I guess?) are in the middle of the keyboard, hence the can easily pressed together with another key. But SHIFT lies at an ergonomically problematic side (left boundary). Hence hard to press with other left side keys.
SUGGESTED SOLUTION:
I suggest that Pandora OS offers an optional and configurable input help.
[1|2|3 presses | hold for duration x] SHIFT [timeout y] [modifier key 2] [timeout z] key
Produces the same result like SHIFT + modkey2 + key
Very likely modifier key 2 and timeout z are not necessary, as you can trigger the SHIFT hold (by your defined action), and then press the modifier key 2 and the other key at once, as the other modifier keys are laid at a central (ergonomically better) position. |

189 | Core | Bug Report | Medium | pnd-run.sh does not work correctly for very long <pathn ... | Closed | |
Task Description
When unmounting, the pnd-run-script greps the output of "losetup -a" at some point. But if you have a very long pathname and filename for the pnd (like "/media/trans8/gamedata/scummvm/Secret_of_Monkey_Islands_Amiga_EN.pnd" then the endpart is cut off in the output, grep can't find the right part and the script get's confused.
Example:
mounting works:
/usr/pandora/scripts/pnd_run.sh -p /media/trans8/gamedata/scummvm/Secret_of_Monkey_Islands_Amiga_EN.pnd -b scummvm -m
unounting does not work:
/usr/pandora/scripts/pnd_run.sh -p /media/trans8/gamedata/scummvm/Secret_of_Monkey_Islands_Amiga_EN.pnd -b scummvm -u
(see /tmp/pndrun*-logs for output)
The problem is that the outut of losetup looks like this in such a case:
"/dev/loop7: [b309]:157081 (/media/trans8/gamedata/scummvm/Secret_of_Monkey_Islands_Amiga_*)"
And because the pnd-name is not fully shown, grepping the name does not work. After i renamed th pnd to a much shorter name (somi_amiga_en.pnd) it worked nicely. Still this should be fixed. |

315 | Core | Bug Report | Medium | Pairing bluetooth SPP devices doesn't work with XFCE | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
Hi, sadly the XFCE bluetooth manager seems to have problems with pairing simple SPP devices (an BT GPS mouse here).
1. Enable BT
2. BT Manager -> Add new device
3. Confirm Dialog and wait for scanning
4. Pick device
5. Select PIN options -> "0000" (here for me)
In next step the dialog still asks you to enter a random PIN at your BT device (which is impossible here).
Thus it seems, that the XFCE dialog makes troubles, I tried it with 2 different GPS. Pairing the GPS manually works fine:

176 | Core | Bug Report | Medium | op_power.sh: problematic display brightness restoring a ... | Closed | |
Task Description
Since hotfix4 it is possible to reduce the value for display brightness below '3'. Thus the script op_power.sh (the one used for low power mode) has to be adjusted accordingly. Currently line 25 in this script looks like this:
if [ $oldbright -ge 3 ] && [ $oldbright -le $maxbright ]; then
Please change the "-ge 3" part to "-ge 1" so that lower modes are possible, too. Otherwise the screen will be set to max brightness if you have selected a value of '1' when going into powersave mode.
Somehow it looks like what is possible to select via the hotkeys and what is possible via the "application" differs. In the script op_lcdsettings.sh in line 11 a minimum brightness of 3 seems to be defined, with the hotkeys it is even possible to go down to 0 (screen off) or values like 1 and 2. This is the relevant line:
minbright=3
Brightness restoring appears to be problematic in op_lid.sh, too. Just have a look at line 25 in this script:
if [ $oldbright -ge 3 ] && [ $oldbright -le $maxbright ]; then
Another issue is that the clockrate of 14MHz is simply too low to be reasonable. Please do adjust it to 125MHz instead, since this seems to be what TI recommends and what makes most sense since starting with hotfix4 this is where the lowest powermode (OPP0) is entered. When clocking down to 14MHz issues like the clock not working correctly come up.
Relevant lines in op_power.sh:
line 14, restoring old clockrate:
if [ $oldspeed -gt 14 ] && [ $oldspeed -le 900 ]; then
line 72, setting the clockrate for low power mode:
echo 14 > /proc/pandora/cpu_mhz_max |

Task Description
/usr/pandora/scripts/op_lidsettings.sh and /usr/pandora/scripts/op_power.sh fail for some usernames due to poor shell scripting
these scripts find their config files by grepping /etc/passwd for the uer currently running xfce4-session, but the loose regexp matches too much. this shell fragment from op_lidsettings.sh:
grep /etc/passwd -e $(ps u -C xfce4-session | tail -n1 | awk '{print $1}')| cut -f 6 -d ":"
when a use called "me" is logged in, returns
/home/root
/usr/games
/var/run/dbus
/home/me
rather than just "/home/me"
all instances of that construct (reading and writing settings, in both op_lidsettings.sh and op_power.sh) should be changed to
grep /etc/passwd -e ^$(ps u -C xfce4-session | tail -n1 | awk '{print $1}'): | cut -f 6 -d ":"
to correctly match only the complete username field in /etc/passwd |

73 | Base OS | Feature Request | Medium | Nub: Change mouse speed, fix scrolling and add mouse bu ... | Closed | |
Task Description
Currently the nubs can be set to three different modes:
mouse, scroll and absolute
Mode 1 (mouse) works fine, but the speed is a bit slow.
Mode 2 (scroll) has inverted scrolling and it would be nice if scrolling speed would change according to how far you move it
Aditionally, I would suggest adding another mode: mbuttons (Mouse buttons).
At the moment, you can use the nubs as mouse but don't have any mouse buttons.
I think it would be very convenient if you could set the nubs as mouse buttons:
Move the nub left for left click, right for right click, up for double click and down for middle click.
That way, each user could use the left nub for mouse and the right nub for mouse buttons or vice versa. |

often but not always after shutting down the system (xfce logout, choose shutdown) there´s a problem when booting again.
i got the normal bootscreen but when x an xfce should start the screen remains black. i cannot say if the x or xfce didn´ start or if it is a problem with the backlight intensity.
rebooting with pandora key and power key leads to the same situation. the only thing that seems to help is to remove the battery shortly.
so, what is the difference beetween reboot after powerdown and reboot after replacing the battery? there could be the point to fix this problem. |

56 | Core | Bug Report | Medium | Movie Playing (Totem, VLC and MPlayer) | Closed | |
Task Description
Not really a bug report, just an information what issues what player has (tested using image from Feb 22nd).
MPlayer is missing a library in this image:
libxxf86dga1
Installing that one manually does make it work.
* VLC:
Plays things, but switching to fullscreen and back causes VLC to start having issues.
I wouldn't recomment VLC.
* Totem:
Works well (fullspeed video playing) when you disable the sidebar.
With the sidebar enabled, it doesn't play videos in fullscreen.
Menus are behind the video overlay as well as the controls in fullscreen mode (which is a bummer).
Needs about 10% more for the same movie than MPlayer (and therefore, stutters more often when mmcqd eats up CPU power)
* MPlayer:
Works well (fullspeed video playing) when video out is set to XV.
Audio out needs to be set to OSS. If set to Alsa, it segfaults when scrubbing around or doing a fast forward (see segfault below).
Runs very well in fullscreen, including controls on the bottom.
Does have issues displaying videos in windows (usually shows black, unless you resize the window).
Cache should be set to 40000. This will almost remove the stuttering when mmcqd accesses the SD card.
Menu is behind the video stream as well.
Only bad thing about Gnome MPlayer is, that you can't run it in fullscreen automatically when a video is loaded.
So basically, MPlayer is the best we have at the moment.
Fullscreen is really working flawlessly. Maybe we could change Gnome MPlayer to some fullscreen GUI (like the MPlayer for the Wii, etc.).
For a first release, it already works well enough.
Just need to make sure we include default settings as described above (most important: OSS sound!)
In case anyone wants to debug, here is the segfault that happens when using ALSA and fast forwarding:

Task Description
When a partition is bigger than 2 or 4 GiB (can't recall now) it makes a "default" 1GiB filesystem. Propably missing large file support in the build. Also, the pandora sd card formatter is missing -F 32 so it makes (i think, it is some time from when I noticed this) FAT16 partitions... |

Task Description
As verified with xev, an attached bluetooth keyboard can not generate colon (shift semicolon). xmodmap shows that (unlike a standard Linux system) shift-semicolon is mapped to NoSymbol. While it's find that there's a special symbol to get semicolon on the built-in keyboard, the other binding really should be there in support of attached keyboards. |

243 | Application | Feature Request | Medium | MiniMenu: Pressing successive character keys should com... | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
Imagine this tab content:
Nubs, Pandora Input, PNDstore.
CURRENT BEHAVIOR:
Pressing "P" and "N" is succession jumps to "Nubs" eventually, as it first jumps to the first "P" item ("Pandora Input"), then to the first "N" item, "Nubs".
DESIRED BEHAVIOR:
That it acts like in most Linux file browsers or the Mac OS X Finder.
In detail: Pressing "P" and "N" within a certain time limit should combine them to the string "PN" and jump to the first item which starts with that string, i.e. "PNDStore". If no item matches, reduce the combination string by one character, try to match again, if that doesn't match, try matching again with one character less, ... , until only one character is left, and if that one doesn't match jump to the nearest previous lexicographical character, which matches. |

265 | Application | Bug Report | Medium | MiniMenu: Flawed tab display of sub-categories if they ... | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
I assigned personal subcategories to some of my games.
Some of those subcategories share the same beginning string, i.e: Shooter, ShooterBallistic ShooterScoller.
MiniMenu displays those subcategories with flaws! See the ASCII screenshots below.
Note: The star symbols indicate the currently active selection.
The main category tab "Game" being active:
----------------------------------------------------------
| All | Audio | AudioVideo | Education |*Game*| Graphics |
----------------------------------------------------------
ActionGame AdventureGame ArcadeGame BlocksGame ...
Shooter ShooterBallistic ShooterScroller ...
GameA GameB GameC ...
----------------------------------------------------------
Now if I navigate into the sub-category "Shooter", everything normal:
----------------------------------------------------------
|*Shooter*|
----------------------------------------------------------
.. ShooterA ShooterB ShooterC ...
----------------------------------------------------------
But if I navigate to the sub-category "ShooterBallistic", strangely MiniMenu shows 2 tabs, "Shooter" and "ShooterBallistic", and jumps right into "Shooter".
----------------------------------------------------------
|*Shooter*| ShooterBallistic |
----------------------------------------------------------
.. ShooterA ShooterB ShooterC ...
----------------------------------------------------------
In order to reach my intended tab "ShooterBallistic" I need to navigate to it again. Annoying. There the contents are as expected:
----------------------------------------------------------
| Shooter |*ShooterBallistic*|
----------------------------------------------------------
.. ShooterBallisticA ShooterBallisticB ShooterBallisticC
----------------------------------------------------------
The flaw is the same for all other sub-categories beginning with "Shooter...". All have the flaw as shown in the example "ShooterBallistic", only that it is themselves instead of "ShooterBallistic". One more example to be perfectly clear:
----------------------------------------------------------
| Shooter |*ShooterScroller*|

262 | Application | Bug Report | Medium | MiniMenu: 1) "Notes line" cannot be deleted. 2) Note li... | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
Steps to reproduce the bug(s):
1) In MiniMenu select an arbitrary app.
2) Press SPACE to bring up the contextual menu.
3) Select "Edit notes line 1".
4) Insert your string and confirm.
5) Now at a later time you may decide to remove your note line again. Therefore you select the same app again in MiniMenu, then repeat steps 2-3, but this time:
a) Erase all characters so that you get an empty string and then confirm. RESULT: Your change is simply ignored! There should be a possibility within MiniMenu to remove/reset note lines, the simplest being to simply accept an empty string as an input, that's what an average user will try if s/he does not find a dedicated "Delete note line" command.
b) As a workaround I tried something and detected yet another bug! As I could not create an empty string, I simply created a note line only containing 1 SPACE character (=the string " ") and confirmed. This got accepted.
If MiniMenu is in detailed view mode (press the A-button or TAB in order to bring it up, if it is not already there) and you slide over an app whose note line is " ", MiniMenu crashes!
Maybe the bug is connected with the writing to / the parsing from the .OVR (override) files which MiniMenu creates for the affected files, as the separating value in OVR files seems to be TAB, and SPACE is also WHITESPACE, therefore some parsers probably skip/misinterpret this, and MiniMenu then catches an unexpected situation!
WORKAROUND: If you ran into the problem, that you cannot get rid of the note lines anymore, simply start a file browser of your choice, navigate to the location of the affected .PND file and find its sister .OVR (override) file and delete it or edit it accordingly! |

260 | Core | Bug Report | Medium | Low Power Mode: Input (keyboard, nub) still taken. Appl... | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
This is the related documentation:
http://pandorawiki.org/Power_modes#Low_Power
(Please update accordingly as part of the issue resolution)
FROM MY USER EXPERIENCE:
If you put the Pandora into Low Power Mode, then press some keys, and then wake the Pandora back into Normal Mode, your input (both keys and nubs, haven't tried with USB input yet) seem to have triggered something while the device was in Low Power Mode!
What does really happen in Low Power Mode concerning execution and input?
a) Input is received AND triggers as application execution continues
or
b) Kernel/driver queues the input signals into a buffer, and executes them on wake?
If supposition a) or b) is true, then this would be one more reason to properly implement: FS#259
OBSERVANCE EXAMPLE 1:
1) Start MiniMenu. Mentally note down your active tab.
2) Put Pandora to Low Power Mode.
3) Press shoulder button R once.
4) Wake Pandora to Normal Mode. You are now one tab to the right of where you left. Input must have been caught in Low Power Mode, but wether execution of it happened while Low Power Mode or later after wake in Normal power Mode is unclear.
OBSERVANCE EXAMPLE 2:
1) Start gedit (a text editor). Insert the digit "1".
2) Put Pandora to Low Power Mode.
3) Press: CTRL-N 2 CTRL-N 3 CTRL-N 4. (Without the spaces)
4) Wake Pandora to Normal Mode.
5) For a fraction of a second you see the tabs building up. Either the input was really received AND executed while Low Power Mode and what you see is just a delayed window manager refreshment, or the input was queued in Low Power Mode, and only executed on wake. |

331 | Core | Bug Report | Medium | Hold switch key continuously sends X11 KeyPress events ... | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
When put into Hold mode, X11 handles the power switch as if it's being pressed, and it generates lots of keypress events, passing them to the foreground application. Since /dev/input/eventX does not seem to continuously trigger, I'm guessing it's due to key repeat.
To reproduce:
- Install xev and open it in the terminal
- Put the power key in HOLD mode
- Notice the "time" value changing rapidly
In addition to causing more work to X, it also floods the active application with key presses, resulting in increased CPU usage. In my test, switching to HOLD while Firefox is in the foreground causes it to use 6% CPU and X an additional 2.5%.
In addition, the key-press events continue even after the switch is taken off HOLD until another key is pressed.
A possible solution to this is to blacklist the power-button event device, to prevent evdev from listening to it (the key is handled by pndevmapperd). |

290 | Core | Bug Report | Medium | gnome-mount not available | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
In GTK applications, such as Truecrypt, NoteCase Pro or Mousepad, the file open / file save dialogs have shortcuts to mounted file systems on the left side.
If clicking such a shortcut entry, the corresponding file system's contents are shown in the right dialog pane.
This works for file systems, which were available at boot time.
For file systems mounted after booting, e.g. by inserting an SD card or connecting a USB drive, when clicking such an entry, an error message appears saying
"Could not mount [volumen name]
Failed to execute child process 'gnome-mount' (No such file or directory)"
This is healed by
sudo opkg install gnome-mount
(which instals gnome-mount, nautilus, gvfsd-ftp, gvfs (upgrade), and a lot of libs (upgrades)..
This has been seen in SuperZaxxon release 1.5, not in Beta3 (but Beta3 is the only choice in Flyspray's dropdown currently).
I reported that error for HF6 I think, and it seemed to be fixed in SuperZaxxon Beta5. A regression? |

204 | Core | Bug Report | Medium | fonts issues | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
Ok, I just want to say that there is something missing about the font on the base image. I cant get what (at least for now)
Here is an issue : http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/54282-getting-vnc-viewer-to-work/
With my current Ogre build I get :
Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font
Error: Aborting: no font found
I've googled but so far no solution :( |

250 | Application | Feature Request | Medium | File Browser Thunar - Trashing file crosses filesystem ... | Researching | |
Task Description
Trashing a file/folder seems to MOVE it to a certain trash directory on the MAIN VOLUME, rather then the ORIGINATING VOLUME, hence this can result in a COPY RATHER THAN A MOVE operation, if the trashed file originates from a filesystem other than the main filesystem!
This is very inefficient and faulty as it is:
a) Very time consuming
b) And in case of large files this operation can even fail due to not enough free space on the main volume. |

170 | Core | Bug Report | Medium | Executable directories broken | Closed | |
Task Description
Directory type packages fail to run. i.e. dropping a directory containing PXML.xml and a bunch of files onto the SD card rather than a .pnd package.
The application is detected and menu entries created correctly, however pnd_run.sh fails to bind mount the directory due to bogus double quoting. Looks like a failed attempt to handle spaces in the path. Patch below removes these incorrect quotes.

47 | Core | To Do (Reminder) | Medium | evmapperd: Blinking LED and charging control | Closed | |
Task Description
evmapperd should start blinking when the power is getting low.
Ideally, the blinking speed should increase with decreasing battery power and should start maybe at 5% as default (would be nice to have the settings configurable by the user).
As soon as the AC adaptor is connected, blinking should stop.
When the battery power is at 0% it should immediately shutdown and poweroff (NOT to be overridden by the user!)
Aditionally, we should have some charging control (or would it be better using a different daemon for that?)
Here's part of my conversation with MichaelW:
when the charge current was below a threshold, it would reduce the charger input current allowed and take it down to about what the system needs
it would be an active thing constantly sampling the system and constantly updating the input current to match the system
the alternative is that when the battery is full, the charge path is cut off until the battery drops down a bit, maybe 90% |

132 | Base OS | Bug Report | Medium | Deleting big files doesn't work | Closed | |
Task Description
When deleting a file on the SD card, the Pandora OS moves it into the thrash folder in the internal memory. That itself isn't very nice (shouldn't there be a trash folder on the SD card as well, to reduce unnecessary copying?), but if the file is too big for the internal memory, a error message appears, and the file cannot be deleted on the Pandora directly. |

87 | Core | Bug Report | Medium | default /etc/network/interfaces is causing problems | Closed | |
Task Description
The default /etc/network/interfaces has 192.168.1.0/24 subnet set up for usb0 which causes wifi connectivity to fail for users that have wifi on the same subnet.
All addresses should be edited out from /etc/network/interfaces, eth* stuff should probably be dropped too. |

182 | Core | Bug Report | Medium | Ctrl + F5 (Fn Lock) Fail | Closed | |
Task Description
So I've tried this a while now with no success. I'm assuming its when Fn is triggered and then pressing Ctrl or Alt it goes away. |

155 | Core | Bug Report | Medium | Critical problems after rescaling GLES2 X windows | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
When a X window which is displaying GLES2 render output is:
- Either dragged out of the visibile screen region (?)
- Is made larger than it was at the creation time of the GLES2 context
then:
- The performance will drop significantly as the EGL buffer swaps won't occur as fast as before,
- The render output will be corrupted and flicker
- In rare occasions crashes the application or locks up the entire system (which forces you to remove the battery)
The problem can not be solved without restarting the application (Possibly forcing players to complete the same goals again as they were unable to reach a savepoint or similar things).
This was confirmed in Mupen64Plus and the PowerVR GLES Samples and some of my own projects (which are, however, based on the PowerVR samples).
As I didn't see any other reports about this problems (but had it confirmed by other Pandora users too) I would expect that it can be fixed by using a newer X, kernel or combination of them as other OMAP users would be effected too. |
