 278 CoreBug ReportLow Kernel 3.2.x: broken middle click on right nub Closed
100%
Task Description Using kernel 3.2.x middle click with the right nub is no longer working. With the "old" kernel you get a middle click when pushing the right nub down, this is no longer the case when eg using SuperZaxxon Beta3 (was already the case in SuperZaxxon Beta1 with kernel 3.2.1). As long as you are using kernel 2.6.27.x middle click is working as expected.
 294 CoreBug ReportLow Left nub not working with kernel 3.2 Closed
100%
Task Description Left nub doesnt work when powering on into SuperZaxxon Final with kernel 3.2. Rebooting into kernel 2.6 fixes it until sleeping or powering off. After which rebooting into 2.6 is once again necessary to get the left nub working.
 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
 303 CoreBug ReportLow pppd 2.4.3 has a bug, recommend upgrade to ppp 2.4.5  Closed
100%
Task Description pppd 2.4.3 doesnt auto reconnect (in my setup) even if configured to do so (persist). Found a ppp bug report confirming this ( http://ppp.samba.org/cgi-bin/ppp-bugs/resolved?id=1110;user=guest - "ppp-2.4.3 / pppoe not reconnecting") and that it has been fixed. I compiled pppd 2.4.5 and that reconnects just fine.
 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)? ...)

Task Description Clicking on the button in a notification used when WiFi is enabled (such as the one stating that Wireless Networks were found), doesn't close the notification. In order to close it, I have to click the X button that's in the top-left.
 310 CoreBug ReportMedium mkdosfs is broken - creates 1GiB filesystems Closed
100%
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...
 311 CoreBug ReportMedium [PATCH] Thunar configurable trash Closed
100%
Task Description Not my work, but since I think my reply to ED on the forums will get buried I made this report. The post with patch: http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php/topic/11189-its-arrived-questions/?p=210363
 312 CoreBug ReportLow Special character in password Closed
100%
Task Description problem: setting a username and password using first setup wizzard it's possible to set special character like @#*%/ ect... the login manager don't support this characters, so you need to reset the device. possible solution: 1. disable the possibility of setting special characters. 2. implement special characters in login manager.
 313 CoreBug ReportLow WiFi LED Not Triggered on First Activation Closed
100%
Task Description The first time WiFi is enabled after boot, using either the the config button menu or the Toggle WiFi menu option the WiFi LED does not light up. (though the WiFi itself does work) Once it has been enabled and disabled for the first time, it will work normally for subsequent uses of the WiFi toggle. If the Toggle WiFi script is launched for the first time from the terminal the LED does light up. This is the case in SuperZaxxon 1.53 with all current upgrades applied, and reportedly since the introduction of SuperZaxxon. checking /sys/class/leds/pandora::wifi/trigger while the WiFi is enabled but the LED off shows that the trigger has been successfully set to phy0radio Also noted while investigating this: If Wifi is enabled for the first time from the terminal the following errors are generated by /etc/init.d/wl1251-init Usage: insmod filename [args] find: /lib/modules/3.2.30/updates: No such file or directory Usage: insmod filename [args] find: /lib/modules/3.2.30/updates: No such file or directory Usage: insmod filename [args] find: /lib/modules/3.2.30/updates: No such file or directory Usage: insmod filename [args] find: /lib/modules/3.2.30/updates: No such file or directory Usage: insmod filename [args] Usage: insmod filename [args] Usage: insmod filename [args] find: /lib/modules/3.2.30/updates: No such file or directory Usage: insmod filename [args] find: /lib/modules/3.2.30/updates: No such file or directory Usage: insmod filename [args] find: /lib/modules/3.2.30/updates: No such file or directory Usage: insmod filename [args] find: /lib/modules/3.2.30/updates: No such file or directory Usage: insmod filename [args] The commands that generate these errors are only executed if the mac80211 module is not already loaded - and that module is not unloaded when wifi is disabled. This seems to be unrelated to the issue being reported, however I can't see any cause for the issue at all, so I figured it was worth including it in the report anyway.
 314 CoreBug ReportLow Pandora-Button doesn't open XFCE menu Closed
100%
Task Description If you enable the "disapear automaticaly" feature in the XFCE panel, the Pandora button doesn't open the main menu anymore and you need to open it manually with the cursor.
 323 CoreBug ReportMedium OS Selector bug Closed
100%
Task Description

When selecting no OS in the OS Selector you're returned to the login screen where you have to reauthenicate. (Pressing Enter without selecting an OS does this)

I happen to do this a lot and it drives me mad :P

 332 CoreBug ReportMedium op_lidsettings.sh and op_power.sh scripts fail for some ...Closed
100%
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

 334 CoreBug ReportLow op_bright_down.sh: error when decreasing brightness Closed
100%
Task Description

The script does not handle brightness "0".

If you try to decrease brightness if it's already at 0, it produces errors:

~ # /usr/pandora/scripts/op_bright_down.sh /usr/pandora/scripts/op_bright_down.sh: line 18: [: : integer expression expected /usr/pandora/scripts/op_bright_down.sh: line 22: echo: write error: Invalid argument

Not sure how to attach a patch here, but you can get the change with:

git pull git://git.assembla.com/openpandora-oe.git bug-333

I also changed the script to use /bin/sh since it's a valid posix script.

 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?
 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

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!

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 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.

 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

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.

 132 Base OSBug ReportMedium Deleting big files doesn't work Closed
100%
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.
 133 Base OSFeature RequestLow Add TiMidity++ to OS? Closed
100%
Task Description Hey, was just wondering if it would be possible to have TiMidity++ (http://timidity.sourceforge.net/) added with a hotfix, would allow games/ports that use it (the Zelda ports here: http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/54633-zelda-kind-of), zdoom and heretic (I think unless pickles has changed them) and other stuff that uses it to not have to include it in the .pnd and saving SD space... just an idea...
 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

100%
Task Description I had beta 1 of hotfix 3, and there turning the pandora into a cardreader worked fine for that card. However, I just installed the latest hotfix 3 final, but that one fails to unmount. Attached is the pndrunop_storage.out. Apparently something's going wrong with the splitting of the partition name, as it tries to unmount /dev/mmcblk0 instead of /dev/mmcblk0p1 Manually unmounting it by using sudo umount /dev/mmcblk0p1 does work, but then I can't use the tool because that apparently only lists mounted memorycards.

100%
Task Description Fresh firmware install with Hotfix 3 installed results in the following issues with Minimenu. 1. 25+% cpu usage versus ~5% in earlier versions. 2. Touchscreen no longer works correctly to select icons. Selecting tabs still works and occasionally it will work for selecting an application icon, but for the most part it simply does nothing.

100%
Task Description Include the netkit-ftp package so the Pandora has at least basic ftp functionality out of the box.
 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".

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.
