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. |

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! |

31 | Core | Bug Report | High | X11 Crashing with omapfb | Closed | |
Task Description
Cleaned up a bit.
* Mouse is inverted if you run SDL Games from the console.
* Mouse is not properly calibrated when you run SDL Games under X fullscreen. Fixed with notaz patch that also fixes the X11-Crash with omapfb (see below)
Regarding the X11-Crash when using SDL-Fullscreen-Apps together with omapfb:
notaz nailed down the problem: It's actually xf86-input-tslib's fault-
omapfb only acted as catalizator here, causing SDL to use different code path and call different X functions.
His patch also almost increases the touchscreen problem (see above): It runs perfect for games in 800x480.
However, on small issue is left on apps with lower resolution which use their own mouse cursor:
As soon as you move the mouse outside of the game resolution (i.e. SuperTux runs 640x480), the mouse cursor stops at the end of the virtual screen and you have an offset.
This only seems to happen when the game uses it's own mouse cursor. If you go to the level editor of SuperTux and leave, the normal X cursor appears and the problem doesn't occur anymore.
So this is probably something that needs to be fixed in the game, not in the driver.
A compiled version (for testing):
http://notaz.gp2x.de/tmp/tslib_drv.so --- needs to be copied here: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/tslib_drv.so |

Cleaned up a bit according to everything we know.

Switching between DPAD and keyboard does increase CPU usage on X A LOT. It even tends to crash ALSA if done too extensive.
According to notaz, this is due to some very old crap that's still included in X.
Internally it has one mouse and one keyboard, everything else is copied every time you press a key and bunch of callbacks are called, messages are sent to all screens and windows.
New tests from EvilDragon:
Disabling xfwm4 makes things better (ALSA won't crash anymore), but it still lags. Running it in minimal X (directly from .xinitrc) strangely fixes this - X won't eat up more than 17% CPU,
regardless how many buttons you press.
OLD Entry:
The qwerty controls when pressed are causing the system to slowdown making the application running to pause/delay. Ive seen in a least 2 application glquake and supertux. For example pressing space would cause the hiccups and shortly after the pressing stopped the application would regain normal running speed. The other joystick/nub controls work fine. glquake is getting controls direct from the event files. Supertux is using the SDL layer.
This was done on angstrom image from dec 19th.
EDIT: More tests done by EvilDragon with the latest image (pandora-xfce-image-omap3-pandora-20100102-new-kernel-fn-n-m-support.tar.bz2)
When you play with the DPAD and press a keyboard button, the app is making the small pause. You can press as many keyboard buttons as you want after that, there won't be another pause.
BUT as soon as you press the DPAD again, it pauses again. Then the next pause does happen when you press a keyboard button, etc.
So it feels like it pauses when you switch between DPAD and keyboard.
The most important thing: This only happens when you run SDL Games from X. It doesn't occur when running SDL games from the console. |

276 | Core | Feature Request | Low | Kernel 3.2.x: add script to activate zram | Closed | |
Task Description
Please add a script to activate zram (RAM compression) when using the new kernel. More info about how to do this is available in this post:
http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/topic/7844-superzaxxon-beta-3-released/#entry138834
http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/topic/7226-superzaxxon-beta-11-released/page__st__20#entry128665
Please be aware though that Linux-SWAT had to explicitly set a value in "/sys/block/zram0/disksize" to get it work with Slackware. Over here the following is automatically set:
pandora:~$ cat /sys/block/zram0/disksize
61648896
Sadly I can *not* change this value, even using sudo:
pandora:~$ ls -l /sys/block/zram0/disksize
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Apr 9 12:51 /sys/block/zram0/disksize
pandora:~$ cat /sys/block/zram0/disksize
61648896
pandora:~$ sudo echo 61648888 > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
-bash: /sys/block/zram0/disksize: Permission denied
Basically the following commands are required in a startup script to automatically create the "compressed swap inside RAM" aka zram (possibly a check if the modprobe was successful makes sense as well as checking for the size of the created ramdisk):
modprobe zram
mkswap /dev/zram0
swapon -p 5 /dev/zram0 |

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. |

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). |

244 | Application | Feature Request | Low | Include man and the manpages | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
The command line environment of the default OS does not include the command "man" and the respective manpages of the installed programs.
I personally often use manpages, as I hardly remember the syntax/arguments of all programs I use.
Having them would be very convenient!
EVALUATING NEEDED STORAGE AMOUNT
Some may argue that storage space is quite limited on the NAND.
Yes I agree. Hence the number of included programs is limited too. Hence it would not be all too many manpages.
When I press TAB into an empty Terminal prompt, I get 1406 possibilities, which is about the amount of available commands/programs if we ignore aliases, etc.
Multiply that with an average of 20 kb per manpage, and you get about 30 MB in total. With compression this could possibly be brought down to 15-20 MB.
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
A) Store into the NAND the manpages of core OS CLI programs only, and not all the library/system/etc documentation.
B) Include only the man command into the core OS, and compile/configure it in such a fashion, that it finds the manpages within non-NAND media (SD card, USB volume, etc).
b1) Specify that it simply looks into a certain path within the /media/*/pandora/ structure.
b2) Or offer PND packages like man-core.pnd, man-extended.pnd,... you get the idea or even man-custom.pnd (which would look into its appdata or a certain path for custom added manpages, to somehow get the b1 approach within the PND approach). |

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. |

242 | Application | Feature Request | Medium | Pressing SHIFT + any key in sequence creates the modifi... | Unconfirmed | |
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. |

Task Description
If you set MiniMenu's option "Live (not exit) on app run?" to YES, and you quit an application and return to the still running MiniMenu, it runs in windowed mode, and takes about 2 seconds until it goes into full screen mode again.
This delay should at best be not noticeable at all, at most 0-1 seconds. |

239 | Application | Feature Request | Low | MiniMenu: New option: Grid stop horizontal | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
I am suggesting the new option "Grid stop horizontal" for MiniMenu with the following possible settings and their effect.
Yes -> If the boundary is reached the focus remains there.
No -> If the boundary is reached the focus starts at the opposite side again.
Jump to next/prev line -> If the boundary is reached the focus jumps to the next/previous line and the opposite side. |

238 | Application | Feature Request | Low | Quick key access to OK in dialogues | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: In many GUI dialogues the default action button (OK, ACCEPT, YES, …) cannot be triggered with a simple key press. Pressing ENTER triggers the element which has focus (usually the first dialogue element), but not the default action, as most computer users would expect!
MY WORKAROUND MEANWHILE: Press ALT plus the underlined letter of your desired action. But that's not very convenient as the underlined letter needs to be looked upon first, as the button label can differ from situation to situation (ACCEPT, OK, YES, …) and then 2 keys need to be pressed.
SUGGESTED SOLUTION: The custom of many operating systems should be adapted on the OpenPandora as well. SPACE triggers the currently focused element (whatever that may be: list item, radio button, checkbox, etc), and ENTER triggers the default action of that dialogue.
Or even better use the Pandora specific A/B/Y/X keys cleverly in those dialogues/selections. I don't know whether there is a standard functionality assignment within this key-group, in MiniMenu "B" is start/confirm, I do not know of any other standard assignments yet. |

234 | Core | Feature Request | Medium | Changeable behaviour when closing the lid | Closed | |
Task Description
As it was requested on forum.gp2x.de and I think it's a good idea I've written some scripts to allow the user to change what happens when the lid is opened/closed.
There are 3 Settings:
-The old behaviour (turning off the screen)
-Go into low power mode
-Shutdown
Default behaviour is still the same: Turn the screen off. Maybe we could change this to low power mode? I don't know.
I made a lot of changes to op_lid.sh: http://pastebin.com/GT3qxWSx (diff: http://pastebin.com/Z8GwpDj8 )
I changed line 11 in op_power.sh to: if [ $powerstate -ne 0 ]; then
And wrote a gui for changing the setting using zenity: http://pastebin.com/9JvSTqfQ
(I still can't upload any files, don't know if it's the fault of my browser, that's why I use this paste service) |
