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 | Core | Bug Report | Low | bluetooth serial port sleep causes lost / frozen connec ... | Closed | |
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)? ...) |

313 | Core | Bug Report | Low | WiFi LED Not Triggered on First Activation | Closed | |
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]

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. |

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). |

Task Description
The XFCE menu does not always show submenues like "Emulators" when being clicked on with the stylus. It only works if the click lasts long or after all menues have been clicked at once with a long click.
Also, tipping on a scroll arrof of menues that are higher than the screen causes the click to be registered as a "click and hold". This leads to the menu being scrolled all the way to the end. |

328 | Core | Bug Report | Low | XFCE desktop icons not displayed when logging on too qu... | Requires testing | |
Task Description
It looks like XFCE cannot find the icons for links/launchers on the desktop, when the user logs on too quickly. This happens either when the session chooser at start-up is disabled, or when the session is being chosen quickly after the session chooser is being displayed (e.g. by pressing enter as soon as the chooser window pops up). The icons are probably not generated yet at that time point.
A simple workaround is adding the command "xfdesktop --reload" to autostart. Couls this be included in the next SuperZaxxon release or a hotfix? |

329 | Core | Bug Report | Low | Screen turns on when LCD closed | Unconfirmed | |

Issue: The screen accidentally turns on even when the lid is closed.
How to reproduce: "Screen blanking" must be enabled! Close the lid, wait more than 10 minutes, tap either shoulder button. This behaviour happens whether on charge or battery, at the desktop or running an application, provided that the "screen blanking" option is enabled.
Desired outcome: When the Pandora comes out of "screen blanking", it should restore the brightness to the same value that it was before blanking. |

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. |

/usr/pandora/scripts/op_power.sh: line 60: [: 5380: binary operator expected
or
/usr/pandora/scripts/op_power.sh: line 60: [: too many arguments
I guess line 60 of op_power.sh
if [ ! $wlstate ]; then
should rather be
if [ -z "$wlstate" ]; then
shouldn't it?
The same thing is in line
Then sometimes also
rm: cannot remove `/tmp/wlstate': No such file or directory
or
cat: /tmp/wlstate: No such file or directory
which could easily be fixed by adding a test -f /tmp/wlstate && or something like that before the respective command. I just added a lot of test, I'm not sure if every single one of them is really needed, but better too much than not enough, I would say. :-)
I can't attach a file (I click the button and nothing happens), so I just paste it there: http://nopaste.info/2256365eba.html

270 | Core | Bug Report | Very Low | Power-slider & lid-close events: XFCE observes user set... | New | |
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".

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);

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 :) |

73 | Base OS | Feature Request | Medium | Nub: Change mouse speed, fix scrolling and add mouse bu ... | Closed | |
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. |

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. |

Task Description
ISSUE ENVIRONMENT:
If you hold your Pandora in your hands, you only have your thumbs for typing, hence your typing abilities are quite limited.
It is hard to press more than 2 keys, and hard to press 2 keys on the same side, as your second thumb does not reach the opposite side all too easy (except you have a basketball player's hands).
The modifier keys Start/ALT Select/CTRL Pandora/(META, I guess?) are in the middle of the keyboard, hence the can easily pressed together with another key. But SHIFT lies at an ergonomically problematic side (left boundary). Hence hard to press with other left side keys.
SUGGESTED SOLUTION:
I suggest that Pandora OS offers an optional and configurable input help.
[1|2|3 presses | hold for duration x] SHIFT [timeout y] [modifier key 2] [timeout z] key
Produces the same result like SHIFT + modkey2 + key
Very likely modifier key 2 and timeout z are not necessary, as you can trigger the SHIFT hold (by your defined action), and then press the modifier key 2 and the other key at once, as the other modifier keys are laid at a central (ergonomically better) position. |

243 | Application | Feature Request | Medium | MiniMenu: Pressing successive character keys should com... | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
Imagine this tab content:
Nubs, Pandora Input, PNDstore.
CURRENT BEHAVIOR:
Pressing "P" and "N" is succession jumps to "Nubs" eventually, as it first jumps to the first "P" item ("Pandora Input"), then to the first "N" item, "Nubs".
DESIRED BEHAVIOR:
That it acts like in most Linux file browsers or the Mac OS X Finder.
In detail: Pressing "P" and "N" within a certain time limit should combine them to the string "PN" and jump to the first item which starts with that string, i.e. "PNDStore". If no item matches, reduce the combination string by one character, try to match again, if that doesn't match, try matching again with one character less, ... , until only one character is left, and if that one doesn't match jump to the nearest previous lexicographical character, which matches. |

248 | Core | Feature Request | Medium | Support for hibernation by caching to SD card | Closed | |
Task Description
It would be very desirable that the PandoraOS could hibernate, and that this action can easily be accessed/triggered with either a hotkey or as an action for the max-idle-time-event or lid-close-event.
That would be the battery friendly universal action to quickly pause/resume any arbitrary application/task.
The current standby mode is far to power consuming for breaks longer than ~ 1 hour. Improving standby mode to be more battery-friendly would of course be too highly appreciated and practical.
If hibernation is triggered, RAM content gets written to a special file or partition on a SD card. The boot-manager of course needs to recognize such a RAM-file on SD-cards. In case it finds more than 1, i.e.: multiple cards/partitions, the one with the newest timestamp gets priority.
256MB RAM with about 10-20 MB/s read/write time to SD, would result in 25-12 seconds for going into or out of hibernation, which would be acceptable for me. In practice it would mean, that if I quickly have to pause me OpenPandora operation (i.e. train stop), I just close my lid, and put the Pandora into my pocket (2-4 seconds), and I am then trusting that the rest reliable happens in my pocket (10-20 seconds). |

250 | Application | Feature Request | Medium | File Browser Thunar - Trashing file crosses filesystem ... | Researching | |
Task Description
Trashing a file/folder seems to MOVE it to a certain trash directory on the MAIN VOLUME, rather then the ORIGINATING VOLUME, hence this can result in a COPY RATHER THAN A MOVE operation, if the trashed file originates from a filesystem other than the main filesystem!
This is very inefficient and faulty as it is:
a) Very time consuming
b) And in case of large files this operation can even fail due to not enough free space on the main volume. |

253 | Application | Feature Request | Medium | Switch GUI: Intelligent automatic choice | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
If only 2 GUIs are available, skip the user selection and switch right into the only other GUI. What else would the user want?! Right!
If more than 2, already set the focus in the GUI list to the next possible item. |
