 60 CoreTo Do (Reminder)Low Include new menufile (Setting) for XFCE4 Closed
100%
Task Description I just built a nice menu file which features subdirectories for games and emulators :) I attached it, the old one should be replaced: /etc/xdg/menus/xfce-applications.menu
 61 CoreFeature RequestMedium Packages to remove and include Closed
100%
Task Description The following packages can be removed: embryo gnome-games gnome-games-blackjack gnome-games-gnometris gnome-games-iagno gnome-games-gtali gnome-games-gnobots2 xmms-mad But we need the following ones: xmms-plugin-input-mpg123 xmms-plugin-input-mikmod mikmod libxxf86dga1 epdfview gnumeric (if possible, would be nice) I do wonder though if we should remove all gnome-games (and ScummVM) completely. Makes more sense if we wrap those games up as PND files. Same goes for the community wallpapers. Should we include them? Or save that space for other things?
 62 CoreTo Do (Reminder)Low New xmodmap to include into latest image Closed
100%
Task Description This is just the latest xmodmap, based on the latest map notaz released. Both maps (xmodmap and notaz' console map) are attached. Path in the image: /etc/skel/.pndXmodmap /etc/keymap-extension-2.6.map
 63 CoreTo Do (Reminder)Low Include new panel-setup for XFCE4 Closed
100%
Task Description I enhanced the XFCE4-Panel setup a bit, since we now have working ALSA mixer and a battery monitor. The files inside the attached archive should go to /etc/xdg/op/xfce4/panel/* in the image.
 64 CoreTo Do (Reminder)Low New power-manager.xml-file (removes opening the logout  ...Closed
100%
Task Description As the powerswitch is used to go into low power mode or shutdown, it doesn't make sense showing the logout dialogue (which would appear when you come back from low-power mode). Therefore, I disabled it with this file. It should be placed in: /etc/xdg/op/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/ in the image.
 66 CoreBug ReportHigh libpnd : pnd_pnd_mount() function bug Closed
100%
Task Description libpnd : pnd_pnd_mount() function do not seems to wait the mount to success before returning, this can cause some application to try to access the pnd content before it really get mounted.
 67 CoreBug ReportLow libpnd : pnd_apps_exec() function bug 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 ;)
 69 CoreBug ReportHigh libpnd : pnd_apps_exec() function bug Closed
100%
Task Description PND_EXEC_OPTION_BLOCK do not seems to work anymore ( the function does not wait the pnd_run.sh task to finish anymore )
 70 CoreTo Do (Reminder)Low Make switching GUIs more customizable (hardcoded at the ...Closed
100%
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?
 71 CoreBug ReportLow Permissions of omapdss need to be fixed Closed
100%
Task Description Only root can currently setup and change TV Out parameters :) Should be set to make it user-changeable.
 72 CoreBug ReportMedium Automatic Screen Saver crashes SGX Apps Closed
100%
Task Description The automatic screen saver crashes apps which use the new SGX driver. Has been tested with pmenu and Quake. This does NOT happen with the Lid close / open turn off-routine, just with that automatic screen saver that turns of the LCD when you don't press a button for a while.
 73 Base OSFeature RequestMedium Nub: Change mouse speed, fix scrolling and add mouse bu ...Closed
100%
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.
 74 CoreBug ReportMedium xfce4-mouse-settings: Fix the check for Xi so it does n ...Closed
100%
Task Description The xfce4-mouse-settings don't work on the Pandora, because they report "XI is not present or too old" This is a known bug and there already is a fix for it: http://www.mail-archive.com/xfce4-commits@xfce.org/msg09395.html
 75 Base OSTo Do (Reminder)Low Remove application-launcher from Pandora-Button Closed
100%
Task Description As the Application Launcher takes 12 seconds to load and slows all running games down terribly if you accidentally hit the Pandora-Button, it is useless. Please change it so it does something different. My suggestions: * Open the XFCE Start-Menu or * Open a simple applauncher (as suggested by vimacs) Make sure it doesn't disturb any game or emulator if you press it while playing!
 76 CoreBug ReportHigh Wifi connection lost under high CPU load Closed
100%
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?
 77 CoreBug ReportLow Shut down screen Closed
100%
Task Description The shut down screen says "booting...". :)
 78 CoreBug ReportVery Low minimenu - zaxxon initial release - doesn't use preview ...Closed
100%
Task Description Stupid; in the /etc/pandora/conf/mmenu.conf the preview cache is looked for in mmcblk[12]* .. should be [01] or really just /media/*/pandora... etc. So just switch [12] to [01] and works fine. Fixed in the git tree already, so will roll out in a real image build.
 85 CoreFeature RequestLow open lid while in low power mode Closed
100%
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 ;)
 116 ApplicationBug ReportLow Freetype issues (freeciv sdl client) Closed
100%
Task Description With the SDL client for freeciv the font characters show up as square blocks and garbage characters. This may be related to freetype. I had also heard that battle at wesnoth had similar issues.
 120 Base OSBug ReportMedium Python is missing some modules Closed
100%
Task Description It seems like Python is missing some modules (like cgi) which should be included in the base installation.
 122 Base OSFeature RequestMedium SDL 1.2 optimizations Closed
100%
Task Description At the moment, SDL is a bit slow and has vsync problems (tearing, etc.). It could need optimizations to use the hardware.
 140 CoreBug ReportHigh WiFi Starts off fast then slows down Closed
100%
Task Description When downloading files using a browser or wget or when attempting to stream videos we see a fast initial burst which then slows down dramatically. see following topics for more details and actual user stats. http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/54340-post-your-speed-over-wifi/ http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/54921-you-tube-through-vlc/ http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/54831-minitube/ http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/54901-possible-wifi-issues/

 317 CoreBug ReportMedium After disabling USB-host current still flows into USB d ...Closed
100%
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.

100%
Task Description I had to reboot the pandora (look in the manual :)) to get back to the installer. I had to specify ANOTHER user, as the one I made was still there. Picking the XFCE one did work.
 80 CoreBug ReportLow After bug 79, the user manager doesn't list my users Closed
100%
Task Description And when i try to remove anyway, it tries to remove user (null). I didn't have the guts to say 'Yes, remove user'
 81 CoreBug ReportHigh pandora seems to hang during boot, turns out it didn't Closed
100%
Task Description it seemed just now thay my pandora didnt complete its bootsequence. During booting, the screen turned black. I thought it had crashed, but I still saw lights flashing when I inserted an SDcard. I then assumed that it WAS booting normally, but that the screen was turned down. So I pushed enter to confirm my username, as I suspected that I was at that prompt. Next I inputted my pwd, pushed enter, waited a bit, and then ised Fn+I to increase the brightness. It worked! I think that during the bootprocess the screen should at most be set to the darkest setting, but never to off. I think I know what happened. I told my pandora to shutdown and closed the lit before it was done. I guess that that swiittched off the screen, a setting which was then saved by the shutdown process, and restored during the bootsequence. I would suggest fixing this in the startup process, rather than the shutdown process, because that way, no matter what ends up in the settings, a sensible valsue is set at startup. I'll see if I can reproduce this.
 83 Base OSBug ReportLow getting more /media/mmcblk?p1  Closed
100%
Task Description From a conversation with skeezix: I'm seeing /media/mmcblk0p1, mmcblk1p1, mmcblk2p1, mmcblk3p1 and mmcblk4p1 - is that something I should worry about? This started after I inserted & ejected my sd card a couple of times. To which skeezix said: The system starts at /media/mmcblk0 (with p1 ec being the partition number); if you eject the SD, then stick it back in, it will try to go to the earlier number again, but if some process was watching that SD when you ejected it, the system will nto be able to recycle that number, so you get the next blk number. So if you end up with /media/mmcblk5p1 (say), then it means you've been eject/inserting, and some program or another has been watching the SD instead of letting it go. Isn't it nicer to cleanup the ones above 1 (so 0 and 1 are there) at startup to avoid confusion?
 84 ApplicationBug ReportLow Bluetooth stays on Closed
100%
Task Description You can enable Bluetooth, but can't disable it afterwards from the system -> toggle bluetooth menu shortcut.
 86 Base OSFeature RequestVery Low Including small development frameworks/projects in the  ...Closed
100%
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.
 88 Base OSFeature RequestLow pydoc is missing Closed
100%
Task Description I love to use the pandora for some on-the-go python development, and I think I'm not the only one, but unfortunately the module pydoc is missing, which is needed for doing help(sys) on the interactive prompt. Could you please include that in the next firmware revision? Thanks!
 89 Base OSBug ReportMedium XFCE not loading up defaults when MiniMenu is selected  ...Closed
100%
Task Description When mini menu is set to the default menuing system, XFCE settings (selected theme, pandora-specific key bindings) do not get loaded by default, they need to be forced by opening a terminal and typing xfwm4 --replace
 91 Base OSBug ReportMedium libaudiofile is installed by codec pack instead of in b ...Closed
100%
Task Description Certain emulators such as Fuse are reliant on this file and I am assured it should be part of the default load-out (or rather in the HotFix) rather than in the codec pack as it's not a copyright issue.
 92 Base OSBug ReportMedium Startupmanager Closed
100%
Task Description When trying to toggle Enable/Disable Autologin After initially enabling this feature, attempt was made to disable unsuccessfully. System says that it saves this info, upon reboot, login screen shows up again. Wifi toggle seems to work, as does Default GUI, & selecting default user
 93 Base OSBug ReportLow zaxxon first boot: don't ask for user prompt if already ...Closed
100%
Task Description How to reproduce: First boot, Pandora's Box has been opened. Prompt for Full name, username, and password. Then, simply press OK without selecting whether minimenu or xfce. None selected. Then you can't do any more. Wizard closes and you don't need any more options. After manual reboot, the wizard starts again and asks for name again. But the username already exists.
 95 Base OSBug ReportMedium Cannot Connect to Ad-Hoc WIFI Closed

Task Description I am Currently tethering my Mobile Network via my Android Phone I cannot connect on this WIFI ... it's a Ad-Hoc connection Everything else works, PC, Netbook's and iPod Touch But Pandora seems to have some problems
 96 Base OSFeature RequestLow Customizable SD mount options Closed
100%
Task Description Right now writes are really slow because they write synchronously: there should be an option to change this so that the user is first taught how to unmount an sd card then remove it...
 97 Base OSFeature RequestLow Missing kernel-module-snd-usb-audio Closed
100%
Task Description Missing kernel-module-snd-usb-audio would be nice to hook the pandora up to my logitec speakers and have audio out and a hub for hooking up other devices at the same time...
 98 ApplicationBug ReportMedium Pidgin freezes (msn) Closed
100%
Task Description Pidgin freezes when using the msn protocol. Sometimes it can last 25 minutes before doing so, sometimes it freezes instantly. Usually it's after only a few minutes. Once it freezes you are still able to close it using the built in crash manager (?!) This happens both when running from XFCE and Minimenu.
 100 CoreBug ReportLow Demos & Examples - remove from image Closed
100%
Task Description /usr/bin/qt4/demos is 9Mb in size and /usr/bin/qt4/examples is 11Mb. I'm guessing these are only useful for developers. Can they safely be removed? edit: additionally, /usr/share/vim is 12M. Can those of us who are never going to use VIM remove it?
 102 Base OSBug ReportVery Low Pandora key does not close XFCE menu  Closed
100%
Task Description If the XFCE menu has been opened by a touchscreen command, it can also be closed by hitting the logo again. However, opening the menu this way and then hitting the Pandora key only spawns more instances of the menu. Least intrusive way to close those seems to be to select "Logout" and hit Cancel.
 103 Base OSFeature RequestLow OpenAL library in firmware? Closed
100%
Task Description Is there any chance we can have OpenAL installed as a default library? I'm considering porting some software that requires it (and truth be told I manually compiled and installed it for my own use atm...)
 107 Base OSBug ReportLow Secure Wifi will not connect until XFCE is loaded Closed
100%
Task Description My Pandora is set to load MiniMenu on boot. I can't use any networked apps because wifi will not automatically connect on boot. XFCE needs to be loaded at least once so that i can enter my keychain password. Once i've entered my password Wifi connects and i can return to MiniMenu.
 109 CoreBug ReportMedium Wifi looses connection after 20-30 minutes Closed
100%
Task Description While logged into XFCE and browsing for an extended period the wireless will loose its connection. It will not reconnect until the Wifi is toggled off and back on again using the ToggleWifi application. I have not tested this on an unsecured network. My wireless is WPA2 encrypted.
 111 CoreFeature RequestMedium Minimal Boot to X_Term / Pico Closed
100%
Task Description Can we add an option to the boot menu for a minimal boot to X-term, and include Pico in the base OS? This would allow us to fix problems we've caused by messing around with starup scripts etc..
 113 CoreFeature RequestLow Add aliases for bash, eg ll for ls -l. Just uncommentin ...Closed
100%
Task Description Aliases like ll for "ls -l" are common. They are super useful on the Pandora (less to type, no Fn key needed). The .bashrc already includes them but they are commented. Please enabled the ls aliases and colored output. I do not think enabling the "-i" aliases too would be a good idea.
 114 ApplicationBug ReportLow Chromium browser does not support HTTPS/SSL Closed
100%
Task Description The Angstrom version of Chrome/Chromium web browser fails to open https links. This is a bug which has been fixed upstream, but not in the version packaged for Pandora.
