 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?

 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".
 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.

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.
 137 Base OSFeature RequestLow Default vim config Closed
100%
Task Description 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

 302 CoreBug ReportLow Correct keymap not available during login process Closed
100%
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. Also reported here: http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/topic/10112-question-mark/#entry188179

Task Description Using pygame I try to play a music file starting from some position in the middle:: import pygame pygame.init() pygame.mixer.init() pygame.mixer.music.load('some_file.ogg') pygame.mixer.music.play(0,60) This should start playing the file from the firs minute, instead on the pandora the file plays from the start. I've tried the same code in a debian (sid) chroot (from extend utils) and it works correctly, as it does on my pc (debian wheezy). I suspect that the issue may be present also in .next (I've done a very quick test on a friend's pandora). Some relevant version numbers: * libogg.so.0.6.0 (on debian libogg.so.0.8.0) * libSDL_mixer-1.2.so.0.10.1 (on debian libSDL_mixer-1.2.so.0.12.0)

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.

 304 CoreBug ReportLow bluetooth serial port sleep causes lost / frozen connec ...Closed
100%
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)? ...)
320CoreBug ReportLowBluetooth connection lost after wake-up from sleep modeUnconfirmed
0%
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).

94CoreBug ReportLowBacklight control by lid sensor not detected after bootNew
0%
Task Description If you boot the system with the lid closed, the backlight will still be on when you get to the desktop. You have to lift the lid for an instant and then close again to shut it off. Perhaps this is because of the lack of trigger for an interrupt since the sensor is already activated. Can there be one extra check of the lid sensor after boot to cover this static position?
 172 CoreBug ReportLow Angstrom repo's bison is borked (FYI) Closed

 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 ;)

 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. ;)

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

270CoreBug ReportVery LowPower-slider & lid-close events: XFCE observes user set...New
0%
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". RELATED SOURCE CODE FILES (to my knowledge): op_lid.sh op_power.sh op_bright_up.sh op_bright_down.sh
