 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...

Task Description Include the netkit-ftp package so the Pandora has at least basic ftp functionality out of the box.
 212 CoreFeature RequestLow Add curl to core installed programs Closed
100%
Task Description I wish for curl to be installed by default on the upcoming pandora FWs, As reported by the angstrom repo, where I install using the command: $sudo su ... #opkg update #opkg install curl curl 7.21.2-r4.0.9 is 78.57 Kilobytes with the dependencies Depends:libcurl4, libgnutls26, libgcrypt11, libgpg-error0, libc6, libz1 I do not know which is installed by default, but I'm sure libc6 is, so I'm going to state the info on the rest of the packages for its memory space usage on the NAND libcurl4(142.99 Kilobytes): Command line tool and library for client-side URL transfers. Depends:libc6, libgnutls26, libz1, libgcrypt11, libgpg-error0, as you can see, it has the same dependencies as above, so it seems both curl and libcurl are probably exclusive from the others, but I will go forward and state the rest of the dependencies libgnutls26 2.8.6-r10.0.5 (291.44 Kilobytes) Depends:libz1, libgcrypt11, libgpg-error0, libc6, (again, it looks like the above depends on this) libgcrypt11 1.4.1-r0.9 (220.35 Kilobytes) Depends: libgpg-error0, libc6, (Oh look, we're not looking at libz1 anymore) libgpg-error0 1.4-r7.1.9 (5.78 Kilobytes) Depends:libc6 now to the lone libz1 libz1 1.2.3-r7.0.9 (41.95 Kilobytes) Depends:libc6 So, in the case we already have the gpg stuff, then the installation is only 221.56KB, however, with the zlib and the gpg included, the total comes to 781.08KB So, now that the cost is out of the way, What are the goods and bads? Good: Its a very versatile CLI program to get and send information over http through the network, and is tolerant of network issues It doesn't take too much space relative to things that have been pulled out, like abiword. The libcurl is a very good library, and could be of great benefit to some future projects. Bad: Well, we already have wget, which is not as configurable, and wget hates Craig's appstore Here's the link to curl on the repo http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo/?pkgname=curl
 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.
 221 CoreBug ReportMedium 32MB worth of qt4 examples in /usr/bin/qt4 ? Closed
100%
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 ?
 289 ApplicationBug ReportMedium "sudo find /" produces assertion Closed

Task Description $ sudo find / find: ftsfind.c:477: consider_visiting: Assertion `ent->fts_info == 11 || state.type != 0' failed. Aborted This is fixed by updating findutils to latest version using sudo opkg upgrade findutils Release SuperZaxxon 1.5 (not Beta 3, as given in "Reported Version" field, but there the release cannot be chosen).

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
 27 CoreBug ReportLow xfce4-brightness-plugin: 0 isn't a good minimum value Closed
100%
Task Description The xfce4-brightness-plugin can be set to a minimum of 0. This is kinda confusing to the normal user, as it makes the screen totally black. Maybe this could be changed to a minimum of 3?
 51 CoreBug ReportMedium xfce4-battery-plugin: No time and no AC working Closed
100%
Task Description xfce4-battery-plugin currently displays the % of the battery, but it doesn't show the time (or does it need a while to figure out how much time is left?) Also, it doesn't realize when AC is connected. I did do a sudo poweroff when power was below 5%. When it first powered down, I connected the AC and restarted. The plugin immediately powered down again, as it didn't know AC was connected.
 19 CoreFeature RequestLow XFCE-Menu Editor Closed
100%
Task Description Add an XFCE-Menu Editor (using python). This way, people can edit the Startmenu :) http://my.opera.com/Texel/blog/2008/02/20/xfce-applications-menu-editor-0-4
 52 CoreBug ReportMedium X11-Touchscreen: Fullscreen-Issue when the mouse cursor ...Closed
100%
Task Description There are some issues with the touchscreen using X11 and fullscreen apps which use their own mouse cursor. The mouse cursor tends to shift around when it comes outside of the normal screen area. This can be seen with SuperTux: The mouse cursor is a penguin. Move that close to the edge of the screen and it jumps around and then is shifted to the real touchscreen. Thanks to a bug in SuperTux, this can also be fixed: Go into the Level Editor and go back into the main menu: On top of the penguin mouse cursor is the normal X mouse cursor, which will not Shift anymore. Aditionally, I tried the Hatari Menu (running on 640x480) and AlephOne (running on 800x480). Both use the standard X mouse cursor and both are working fine. I guess that the mouse cursor gets confused if it has negative values.
 31 CoreBug ReportHigh X11 Crashing with omapfb Closed
100%
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

 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?

 59 CoreTo Do (Reminder)Low ToDo: Add joystick / keyboard switch to pnd_run and lib ...Closed
100%
Task Description The next kernel offers switching between a joystick / keyboard mode. In joystick mode, the DPAD and ABXYRL Buttons behave like a joystick buttons and have no keyboard mappings. In keyboard mode, the DPAD and ABXYRL Buttons have keyboard mappings and are NOT registered as joystick. The normal keyboard keys are not affected by this. PXML needs to have a switch added for that and pnd_run should change the mode according to that switch. When the PND app has quit, it should always go back to keyboard mode. The commands are the following: echo 1 > /proc/pandora/game_button_mode # keyboard mode echo 2 > /proc/pandora/game_button_mode # gamepad mode

 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!
 25 CoreBug ReportMedium QWERTY Slowdowns Closed
100%
Task Description Cleaned up a bit according to everything we know. EDIT: notaz did it again. Fixed it. If you find any weird side effects, let us know :) http://notaz.gp2x.de/tmp/Xorg Replace the file /usr/bin/Xorg Be sure to change permissions to 755 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.

 32 CoreBug ReportLow pndnotifyd: Crawling through directories it shouldn't i ...Closed
100%
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!
 22 CoreBug ReportLow pndevmapperd: Powerbutton / hold doesn't work. Closed

 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 ;)
