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 :) |

44 | Core | Bug Report | Medium | Pandora-Start-Menu button too small | Closed | |
Task Description
Since about mid January, the Openpandora-Startmenu-Button doesn't resize when the "Show Title" is enabled.
Therefore, you only see parts of the "OpenPandora"-Title and no icon.
Disabling the title shows the icon. I have no idea how to resize it and why this happened (the theme hasn't been changed as far as I know) |

xfce4-battery-plugin currently displays the % of the battery, but it doesn't show the time (or does it need a while to figure out how much time is left?)
Also, it doesn't realize when AC is connected.
I did do a sudo poweroff when power was below 5%. When it first powered down, I connected the AC and restarted. The plugin immediately powered down again, as it didn't know AC was connected. |

52 | Core | Bug Report | Medium | X11-Touchscreen: Fullscreen-Issue when the mouse cursor ... | Closed | |
Task Description
There are some issues with the touchscreen using X11 and fullscreen apps which use their own mouse cursor.
The mouse cursor tends to shift around when it comes outside of the normal screen area.
This can be seen with SuperTux: The mouse cursor is a penguin. Move that close to the edge of the screen and it jumps around and then is shifted to the real touchscreen.
Thanks to a bug in SuperTux, this can also be fixed: Go into the Level Editor and go back into the main menu:
On top of the penguin mouse cursor is the normal X mouse cursor, which will not Shift anymore.
Aditionally, I tried the Hatari Menu (running on 640x480) and AlephOne (running on 800x480).
Both use the standard X mouse cursor and both are working fine.
I guess that the mouse cursor gets confused if it has negative values. |

55 | Core | Bug Report | Critical | .xinitrc problems (image from Feb 22nd) | Closed | |

Loading a GUI from slim fails, as .xinitrc is broken.

Removing them makes XFCE4 loading fine. |

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:

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 ;) |

76 | Core | Bug Report | High | Wifi connection lost under high CPU load | Closed | |
Task Description
I noticed that when I tried Quake 3 a while back that I would lose my internet connection. Only the very first time I tried it did it ever find a couple thousand servers and let me join a map. Since then, it always dies and I never see any servers.
I wasn't too concerned yet because maybe it's just Q3 doing something but tonight mplayer was running full screen and then suddenly it started chugging and the network manager popped up that it was trying to connect (spinning logo at the bottom). Since you only get one shot at network manager per boot, it was a lost cause.
The correlation I make here was that I'm sure the CPU was under heavy load for both cases but I haven't tried other programs to see what happens. I didn't have any games on this card tonight. Can anyone repeat this problem or is it a known issue? |

Task Description
On my Pandora, due to bad internal WiFi, I use an Edimax EW-7811Un USB WiFi adapter, which has a status-LED, flickering according to the network activity.
After disabling USB-host through the settings menu, the WiFi functionality is gone, but the device's LED is still on. So some current must still flow into the USB device.
The LED now has a permanent light, no flickering! This lack of "device intelligence" indicates that the device was indeed turned off, just current flowing directly to the LED circuit unaltered).
I can repeat the aforementioned steps many times, the behavior is the same.
As soon as I then first physically unplug and reinsert the device, the LED remains off eventually.
From then on, every further issuing of "Disable USB-host" through the settings menu turns the device LED completely off.
Smells like a kernel bug to me! As it requires one real un/re-plugging, from then on works ok. |

86 | Base OS | Feature Request | Very Low | Including small development frameworks/projects in the ... | Closed | |
Task Description
It could be nice, if some very small development frameworks were included in the OS since the Pandora should make it as easy as possible for beginners to start programming.
That means: A "Start coding now"-wizard/script can be run from the desktop from which you select the type of project (c++, python, SDL...) you want to do. It copies the framework to SD-Card, opens it in an editor/IDE to see the sourcecode and leads you to the first compile and run. Can be combined with a PND-Packer-script.
Ideas for frameworks:
- a small python template (pygame?)
- a template project for an SDL-project (red square in fullscreen)
- a template project for OpenGL ES (a simple colored triangle)
- a template project for using NEON or DSP
- something with a GUI (QT?)
- general HelloWorlds
- all as simple as possible!
I know that this could help many beginners to actually start programming because the first compile is often hardest step (setting up toolchain, hassle with libs, includes, dependencies, compiler options, choice of editor, makefiles, all that stuff).
Feel free to delete this feature request if it doesn't fit into the bugtracker. |

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 |

195 | Core | Feature Request | High | Start re-recharge of battery sooner | Closed | |
Task Description
Increase battery LVL_4 and LVL_3 threshold.
After reaching 100%, in some cases the charge circuit enters "battery full" state, stops charging, and begins to discharge. This is not entirely unexpected behavior according to the spec sheet, although I don't fully understand exactly the situations in which it completes charging. Once the battery is full, the battery will begin discharging. The charge circuit automatically restarts the recharge once the voltage has gone below a certain level (crosses below the LVL_3 voltage threshold)
The default LVL_3 voltage threshold is 3.902 volts which is at about 80-85% battery level as recorded by bq27500 chip. In my opinion, this is way too low.
Setting the BCIMFTH2 register to 0xCB increases the voltage threshold to about 4.003 volts which is about 93%.
Setting it to 0xDC may also be worthwhile, which is just over 95%.
By default, if a user leaves their Pandora plugged in overnight, they may wake up to find their Pandora has stopped charging and the capacity has dropped to almost 80%, which can be quite startling to some users who will then report it as a bug.
This change will ensure that it never drops below 93-95%, a much more acceptable level.
Specific code changes suggested, in the /drivers/power/twl4030_bci_battery.c file, somewhere in the twl4030_bci_battery_probe function (or a function called by it), add the lines:
/********************************/
#define KEY_FTH2 0x7F
#define REG_BCIMFTH2 0x017
ret = twl4030_i2c_write_u8(TWL4030_MODULE_MAIN_CHARGE, KEY_FTH2, REG_BCIMFKEY);
if (ret)
return ret;
ret = twl4030_i2c_write_u8(TWL4030_MODULE_MAIN_CHARGE, 0xDC, REG_BCIMFTH2);
if (ret)
return ret;
/********************************/

196 | Core | Feature Request | Medium | [PATCH] Add tablet support into kernel | Closed | |
Task Description
Hi,
This should be a quite simple thing, but my first time touching
the OE repo and i cant test it, so be careful. |

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
Here's the link to curl on the repo

220 | Core | Feature Request | Low | Please include /usr/bin/xkbset | Closed | |
Task Description
One of the first things after installing HF5 was downloading xkbset, because it is necessary for proper L-R buttons mapping as mouse buttons. Could you please include that in the system?
I am using urjaman's executable from here:
http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/55124-remapping-the-mouse-buttons-etc/page__st__15__p__896576&#entry896576
Even better would be a GUI that allows mapping of L-R buttons for mouse, just like GUI for nubs :) But including xkbset will be already good. |

226 | Core | Feature Request | High | Boot from /dev/sda devices requested | Closed | |
Task Description
Boot from usb hard disk not supported. This should be a rather simple fix of adding the sdx devices and adjust the boot scripts??
I was able to put this autoboot.txt on mmc 0:1
setenv bootargs debug root=/dev/sda1 rw rootdelay=2 console=ttyS0,115200n8 vram=6272K omapfb.vram=0:3000K
ext2load sda 0:1 0x80300000 /boot/uImage
bootm 0x80300000
This failed with amongst other things "Block device sda 0 not supported" and something about failing to load kernel
So I then changed the autoboot file to this
setenv bootargs debug root=/dev/sda1 rw rootdelay=2 console=ttyS0,115200n8 vram=6272K omapfb.vram=0:3000K
ext2load mmc 0:3 0x80300000 /boot/uImage
bootm 0x80300000
All this did was die after the kernel loaded.
I believe I could much better make use of this device if I could boot from some faster storage, please advise :) |
