32 | Core | Bug Report | Low | pndnotifyd: Crawling through directories it shouldn't i ... | Closed | |
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 | Core | Bug Report | Low | mmcqd eating lots of CPU power when writing | Closed | |
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. |

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.

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? |

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 ;) |

37 | Core | Bug Report | Very Low | Game doesn't start in No-X mode (pnd_run.sh) (Permissi ... | Closed | |
Task Description
EDIT:
Some more information from notaz:
it's failing because it can't find controlling tty (/dev/tty is a "virtual" gateway device, so setting permissions gave no effect)
do "ps ax" on your desktop and it has the tty column
so SDL fbdev driver wants to get a real tty fo be able to read keys
So we need to somehow give it a real tty?
yeah, but I don't know why as pnd start from X and that gives virtual tty
*don't know how*
maybe something can be done using openvt, chvt and similar tools
------
What happens if you run a script in no-X mode:
1. It stops slim
2. It mounts all the directories as needed (works fine).
3. It DOES NOT start the app
4. It unmounts all the directories
5. It restarts slim (and therefore X)
I can confirm the path is correctly and the filesystem is mounted there (did an ls -l).
I can also confirm the game is working fine, as the same PND does work within X if I run it from the terminal using pnd_run supertux_noX.pnd
So it looks like the line that actually executes the game does work when run in X, but not when run outside of X.
Maybe it tries to execute the game on the screen where the script is actually started (X) and therefore can't run it as X is not running anymore?
The line working in X-mode but not working in non-X-Mode:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/mnt/utmp/$BASENAME ./$EXENAME $ARGUMENTS
The game I tried was SuperTux (SDL-Game) with a no-X=1 parameter in the PXML. |

237 | Core | Bug Report | Critical | /dev/mmcblkN - N sometimes points to left, sometimes to ... | Closed | |
Task Description
SPECIFICATION:
According to http://pandorawiki.org/SD_compatibility_list
/dev/mmcblk0 is the left SD card slot (the one being closer to the headphone check)
/dev/mmcblk1 is the right SD card slot
I trusted that device path specification.
And it was correct MOST of the time.
But sadly only most of the time, NOT ALWAYS!!!
This bug is severely dangerous, as a (possibly critical) command could unexpectedly affect a device other than the one you intended it for!
BUG INCIDENT:
Sadly, I realized this bug at the worst possible moment!
I issued the command: shred -fvz /dev/mmcblk0
but it erased the card in the RIGHT slot.
I realized that because the card inserted on the left has 16GB, and the one on the right 128MB.
I checked both the card positions and my entered command, to exclude my own mistake. Sadly it was not a clumsy mistake: This severe bug really exists!
BUG REPRODUCIBILITY:
I already slightly witnessed this bug during the last days, but thought it was just a coincidence.
I.e. in GParted the larger card showed up at the wrong device path.
I did a refresh and/or ejected/re-inserted the card, and the expected device path was back again, and I did not think further about this incident.
Only today with this fatal shred incident, I eventually realized this behavior is a bug.
Luckily I had my data backed up. |

Task Description
The clock occasionally does weird things during low power mode, sometimes gaining time, sometimes losing. This is most likely a result of the CPU being reduced to 14Mhz and the system clock being unable to keep up.
A convenient work around is to make a call to "/sbin/hwclock --hctosys" during wake-up to load the hardware clock back into the system clock. This may add an extra second or two to the wake-up time but will prevent confusion caused by clock being very incorrect. |

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:
