155CoreBug ReportMediumCritical problems after rescaling GLES2 X windowsUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description When a X window which is displaying GLES2 render output is: - Either dragged out of the visibile screen region (?) - Is made larger than it was at the creation time of the GLES2 context then: - The performance will drop significantly as the EGL buffer swaps won't occur as fast as before, - The render output will be corrupted and flicker - In rare occasions crashes the application or locks up the entire system (which forces you to remove the battery) The problem can not be solved without restarting the application (Possibly forcing players to complete the same goals again as they were unable to reach a savepoint or similar things). This was confirmed in Mupen64Plus and the PowerVR GLES Samples and some of my own projects (which are, however, based on the PowerVR samples). As I didn't see any other reports about this problems (but had it confirmed by other Pandora users too) I would expect that it can be fixed by using a newer X, kernel or combination of them as other OMAP users would be effected too.

The application is detected and menu entries created correctly, however pnd_run.sh fails to bind mount the directory due to bogus double quoting.

 171 CoreFeature RequestMedium Update clock from hardware when restoring from low powe ...Closed
100%
Task Description 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.
 176 CoreBug ReportMedium op_power.sh: problematic display brightness restoring a ...Closed
100%
Task Description Since hotfix4 it is possible to reduce the value for display brightness below '3'. Thus the script op_power.sh (the one used for low power mode) has to be adjusted accordingly. Currently line 25 in this script looks like this: if [ $oldbright -ge 3 ] && [ $oldbright -le $maxbright ]; then Please change the "-ge 3" part to "-ge 1" so that lower modes are possible, too. Otherwise the screen will be set to max brightness if you have selected a value of '1' when going into powersave mode. Somehow it looks like what is possible to select via the hotkeys and what is possible via the "application" differs. In the script op_lcdsettings.sh in line 11 a minimum brightness of 3 seems to be defined, with the hotkeys it is even possible to go down to 0 (screen off) or values like 1 and 2. This is the relevant line: minbright=3 Brightness restoring appears to be problematic in op_lid.sh, too. Just have a look at line 25 in this script: if [ $oldbright -ge 3 ] && [ $oldbright -le $maxbright ]; then Another issue is that the clockrate of 14MHz is simply too low to be reasonable. Please do adjust it to 125MHz instead, since this seems to be what TI recommends and what makes most sense since starting with hotfix4 this is where the lowest powermode (OPP0) is entered. When clocking down to 14MHz issues like the clock not working correctly come up. Relevant lines in op_power.sh: line 14, restoring old clockrate: if [ $oldspeed -gt 14 ] && [ $oldspeed -le 900 ]; then line 72, setting the clockrate for low power mode: echo 14 > /proc/pandora/cpu_mhz_max
 177 CoreBug ReportMedium no x or xfce after shutdown and reboot Closed
100%
Task Description often but not always after shutting down the system (xfce logout, choose shutdown) thereĀ“s a problem when booting again. i got the normal bootscreen but when x an xfce should start the screen remains black. i cannot say if the x or xfce didnĀ“ start or if it is a problem with the backlight intensity. rebooting with pandora key and power key leads to the same situation. the only thing that seems to help is to remove the battery shortly. so, what is the difference beetween reboot after powerdown and reboot after replacing the battery? there could be the point to fix this problem.

 189 CoreBug ReportMedium pnd-run.sh does not work correctly for very long <pathn ...Closed
100%
Task Description When unmounting, the pnd-run-script greps the output of "losetup -a" at some point. But if you have a very long pathname and filename for the pnd (like "/media/trans8/gamedata/scummvm/Secret_of_Monkey_Islands_Amiga_EN.pnd" then the endpart is cut off in the output, grep can't find the right part and the script get's confused. Example: mounting works: /usr/pandora/scripts/pnd_run.sh -p /media/trans8/gamedata/scummvm/Secret_of_Monkey_Islands_Amiga_EN.pnd -b scummvm -m unounting does not work: /usr/pandora/scripts/pnd_run.sh -p /media/trans8/gamedata/scummvm/Secret_of_Monkey_Islands_Amiga_EN.pnd -b scummvm -u (see /tmp/pndrun*-logs for output) The problem is that the outut of losetup looks like this in such a case: "/dev/loop7: [b309]:157081 (/media/trans8/gamedata/scummvm/Secret_of_Monkey_Islands_Amiga_*)" And because the pnd-name is not fully shown, grepping the name does not work. After i renamed th pnd to a much shorter name (somi_amiga_en.pnd) it worked nicely. Still this should be fixed.

Task Description Try clearing shortcuts in Start->Settings->Window Manager->Keyboard. That doesn't work (for me). This is a problem because these shortcuts are blocking key-combination in apps, like for example the keymapper in dosbox (CTRL+F1) or refreshing content (CTRL+F5). I tried manual editing or even deleting the configuration file, but changes are not recognized and the file recreated on reboot.

Task Description Hi, after upgrading to HF5, I accidentally discovered that there are 32MB of qt4 examples & demos in directory /usr/bin/qt4, those examples do work. For instance the /usr/bin/qt4/examples/webkit/fancybrowser/fancybrowser is a working WWW browser. It is, without any dispute a very useful qt4 development help, but are you sure that you want to include all that in NAND ?
225CoreBug ReportMediumads7846 reports odd pressure valuesUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description using evdev xorg drivers and not the tslib drivers you can receive pressure axis data however there is a problem with the values reported by the ads7846 module and the evdev driver has no calibration property for pressure using xinput test touchscreen you can see the pressure axis ranging from 120-ish for hard press to about 150-170 for light press (low pressure values can be quite erratic) I could possibly hack the evdev module to possibly do something with this odd and narrow range of values, but I rather think looking at the source that the ads7846 module needs some work. is there a git tag that has a known working configuration? as I've had problems getting the kernel to compile the last few times I attempted...
 234 CoreFeature RequestMedium Changeable behaviour when closing the lid Closed
100%
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)
 248 CoreFeature RequestMedium Support for hibernation by caching to SD card Closed
100%
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).
 255 CoreBug ReportMedium Waking Pandora with closed lid nevertheless turns scree ...Closed
100%
Task Description Steps to reproduce the undesired behavior: 1) Close the lid. The screen goes off. 2) Slide the power switch to the right. The device goes into low power mode. The screen remains off. 3) Slide the power switch to the right. The device goes into normal power mode and turns on the screen although the lid is still closed! Desired behavior: Ad 3) If the system catches the event "wake from low power mode" it should first wake the system, then check the "lid open/close state", and set the screen on/off state accordingly. By this you could use the Pandora as a power-efficient sleep/wake-able closed-lid-device, practical for i.e. audio applications. I am using: Pandora OS R1.HF6.A4
257CoreBug ReportMediumTV Out script breaks XV/SDL Video playbackUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description This seems to be the case with Hot-fix 5 and 6 alpha 4. I've been able to repeat this bug by re-flashing.. On a fresh re-flash.. installed community codec pack.. Videos will play fine on Panplayer, VLC and Gnome-Mplayer with default settings, which I believe is XV or SDL out in the case of VLC. Run the TV-out script it will cause a blank black screen during playback.. Disabling TV-out, switching modes, rebooting.. battery out, nothing seems to allows it to work with XV/SDL out again.. I know If I switch to X11 it will make it "work" again, but I notice a bit of lag during playback using X11 compared to XV/SDL out.

0%
Task Description This is the related documentation: http://pandorawiki.org/Power_modes#Low_Power (Please update accordingly as part of the issue resolution) FROM MY USER EXPERIENCE: If you put the Pandora into Low Power Mode, then press some keys, and then wake the Pandora back into Normal Mode, your input (both keys and nubs, haven't tried with USB input yet) seem to have triggered something while the device was in Low Power Mode! What does really happen in Low Power Mode concerning execution and input? a) Input is received AND triggers as application execution continues or b) Kernel/driver queues the input signals into a buffer, and executes them on wake? If supposition a) or b) is true, then this would be one more reason to properly implement:  FS#259  OBSERVANCE EXAMPLE 1: 1) Start MiniMenu. Mentally note down your active tab. 2) Put Pandora to Low Power Mode. 3) Press shoulder button R once. 4) Wake Pandora to Normal Mode. You are now one tab to the right of where you left. Input must have been caught in Low Power Mode, but wether execution of it happened while Low Power Mode or later after wake in Normal power Mode is unclear. OBSERVANCE EXAMPLE 2: 1) Start gedit (a text editor). Insert the digit "1". 2) Put Pandora to Low Power Mode. 3) Press: CTRL-N 2 CTRL-N 3 CTRL-N 4. (Without the spaces) 4) Wake Pandora to Normal Mode. 5) For a fraction of a second you see the tabs building up. Either the input was really received AND executed while Low Power Mode and what you see is just a delayed window manager refreshment, or the input was queued in Low Power Mode, and only executed on wake.

Besides it might also make sense to add "glibc-gconv-cp1250" which might be required for western europe and koi8-r which seems to be missing for xchat and conversion of chars there. At the moment the following locale related packages are installed (as of SuperZaxxon Beta3): glibc-charmap-utf-8 - 2.9-r35.3.5 glibc-gconv - 2.9-r35.3.5 glibc-gconv-cp1252 - 2.9-r35.3.5 glibc-gconv-ibm850 - 2.9-r35.3.5 glibc-gconv-iso8859-1 - 2.9-r35.3.5 glibc-gconv-iso8859-15 - 2.9-r35.3.5 Please add: glibc-gconv-cp1250 glibc-gconv-koi8-r glibc-gconv-unicode glibc-gconv-utf-16 Thanks!
290CoreBug ReportMediumgnome-mount not availableUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description In GTK applications, such as Truecrypt, NoteCase Pro or Mousepad, the file open / file save dialogs have shortcuts to mounted file systems on the left side. If clicking such a shortcut entry, the corresponding file system's contents are shown in the right dialog pane. This works for file systems, which were available at boot time. For file systems mounted after booting, e.g. by inserting an SD card or connecting a USB drive, when clicking such an entry, an error message appears saying "Could not mount [volumen name] Failed to execute child process 'gnome-mount' (No such file or directory)" This is healed by sudo opkg install gnome-mount (which instals gnome-mount, nautilus, gvfsd-ftp, gvfs (upgrade), and a lot of libs (upgrades).. This has been seen in SuperZaxxon release 1.5, not in Beta3 (but Beta3 is the only choice in Flyspray's dropdown currently). I reported that error for HF6 I think, and it seemed to be fixed in SuperZaxxon Beta5. A regression?

Task Description If a PND has been run as root before (using pnd_run.sh from a root shell) and afterwards it is invoked the normal way, the PND doesn't start, because the .out file cannt be overwritten: /usr/pandora/scripts/pnd_run.sh: line 26: /tmp/pndrun_firefox.out: Permission denied Desired solution: .out file is silently overwitten. Maybe, if that's not possible, create another .out file with a different name (added counter, for example). Seen in SuperZaxxon relese 1.5, not in Beta3 as this task is flagged, but there is no choice besides Beta3.

315CoreBug ReportMediumPairing bluetooth SPP devices doesn't work with XFCEUnconfirmed

Task Description Hi, sadly the XFCE bluetooth manager seems to have problems with pairing simple SPP devices (an BT GPS mouse here). 1. Enable BT 2. BT Manager -> Add new device 3. Confirm Dialog and wait for scanning 4. Pick device 5. Select PIN options -> "0000" (here for me) In next step the dialog still asks you to enter a random PIN at your BT device (which is impossible here). Thus it seems, that the XFCE dialog makes troubles, I tried it with 2 different GPS. Pairing the GPS manually works fine: sudo rfcomm connect rfcomm0 00:18:E4:26:5F:14
 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.

331CoreBug ReportMediumHold switch key continuously sends X11 KeyPress events ...Unconfirmed
0%
Task Description

When put into Hold mode, X11 handles the power switch as if it's being pressed, and it generates lots of keypress events, passing them to the foreground application. Since /dev/input/eventX does not seem to continuously trigger, I'm guessing it's due to key repeat.

To reproduce:

  • Install xev and open it in the terminal
  • Put the power key in HOLD mode
  • Notice the "time" value changing rapidly

In addition to causing more work to X, it also floods the active application with key presses, resulting in increased CPU usage. In my test, switching to HOLD while Firefox is in the foreground causes it to use 6% CPU and X an additional 2.5%.

In addition, the key-press events continue even after the switch is taken off HOLD until another key is pressed.

A possible solution to this is to blacklist the power-button event device, to prevent evdev from listening to it (the key is handled by pndevmapperd).

 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
