0%
Release 1 (Zaxxon) Task Description

.desktop files only include the English stuff right now (using the .desktop default tags.)

Be nice if in addition to 'title', we also include 'title[de]' type extras, whatever is in the PXML.xml

pnd_pxml_t includes all the goods, but pnd_disco_t has only the summarized english stuff.

105OpenPandora Main OSApplicationFeature RequestVery LowNubs feature requestNew
0%
Release 1 (Zaxxon) Task Description

The 'Nubs' application needs a setting for deadzone. Using the nubs in First person shooters the nubs trigger in directions when not even touched. An adjustment for deadzone would eliminate accidental movement caused by vibration.

Also, application profiles for the nubs would be very useful. Different apps use the nubs in different ways and it would be great to not have to go and change settings before launching each application.

106OpenPandora Main OSApplicationFeature RequestVery LowAppData corruptionUnconfirmed
0%
All Task Description

The appdata folder was corrupted on my SD card from an unclean eject this made the folder read only until i ran a repaired it. MiniMenu still displayed all my PND files.

When clicking to launch the app would try to load crash and then return to MiniMenu without any visible error. This was pretty confusing and i thought it might be a good fix for a troubleshooting guide.

156OpenPandora Main OSBase OSFeature RequestVery LowAsk to format SD CardUnconfirmed
0%
Release 1 (Zaxxon) Task Description

When I have received my Pandora, I got an SD Card but it was not formated. I didn't have any card reader so I didn't now what was wrong (the Pandora or the SD Card).

When an unformated SD Card is inserted in the Pandora, it should be nice to ask if we want to format it.

110OpenPandora Main OSCoreBug ReportVery LowBattery percentage static in MiniMenuUnconfirmed
0%
All Task Description

Battery remaining percentage in MiniMenu does not update unless you change tabs back and forth.

This is only really an issue when leaving the unit charging and not using it. It gives the appearance that it is not charging until you swap tabs around.

270OpenPandora Main OSCoreBug ReportVery LowPower-slider & lid-close events: XFCE observes user set...New
0%
Release 1 (Zaxxon) 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".

318Additional ApplicationsApplicationBug ReportVery Lowstrace can not handle conditional SWI'sUnconfirmed
0%
All Task Description

I found a bug when I tried to debug my code with strace.

It happens when strace has to handle conditional SWI's.

Example: (ASM code) save as "condswi.s"
-----
.data
.text
_globl _start
_start:
mov r0,#0 @ return code
mov r7,#1 @ sys_exit
swine 0
swieq 0
.end
-----

The code assembles/links fine using 'as' and 'ld'.
> as condswi.s
> ld a.out -o condswi

When I want to strace the executable file I got the following error.
> strace ./condswi
'syscall: unknown syscall trap 0x1f000000'
As a result strace quits.

Thanks,
Dennis

30%
Release 1 (Zaxxon) Task Description

Should make up a simple zenity script tool ..

- backup -> pick SD -> backs up current user's homedor to SD. (tar.gz format so permissions can be kept; not cpio/etc, too annoying for user.) -> keep rolling, or just one copy?
- restore -> pick SD -> pick user -> confirm -> wipe home and restore with version from tarball? (or just unpack in-place, so existing new files are kept)
-> prepare SD -> pick SD -> mkdir /pandora/menu and /pandora/desktop

Hi there,

Many games depend on sdl-perl. Perl and sdl are part of the base OS, but not not the connection between the two.

123OpenPandora Main OSBase OSFeature RequestLowSuggestions for the Pandora-ButtonNew
0%
All Task Description

My suggestion instead of a full menu, would be to have a tiny overlay over the current running application which allows you to:
- relogin (to close all running applications)
- quit (stop the active application)
- shows the last notifications / toaster messages which you missed while being in a fullscreen app.
- possibly even something like plugin support or icons to check out the wifi-strength etc. from fullscreen apps.

Implementation wise this could possibly be done using
- a topmost window and the same content rendered in screenspace in a GLES hook (which should draw over most applications)
or
- one of the DSS2 overlays maybe

It's definitely something to consider as it was requested on the forums a few times (~"xbox like menu in games").

206OpenPandora Development OSBackend / CoreFeature RequestLowFirst Boot Wizard - Controls assignment screen neededResearching
0%
Release 2 (.next) Task Description

Since I don't have a Pandora, I used the videos that EvilDragon has shown to discover this issue. Nowhere did I see in the First Boot Wizard that it tells you what the default controls in XFCE does like for example how the mouse moves and clicking using the nubs. It also doesn't tell you what the gaming buttons do (L and R included).

Would be nice to know for first time users. It should also tell a user if they want to change these setting to look at a specific place after the wizard is done. We shouldn't have the users figure the controls and such out by trial and error. When is that ever fun? :)

238OpenPandora Main OSApplicationFeature RequestLowQuick key access to OK in dialoguesUnconfirmed
0%
Release 1 (Zaxxon) 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.

239OpenPandora Main OSApplicationFeature RequestLowMiniMenu: New option: Grid stop horizontalUnconfirmed
0%
Release 1 (Zaxxon) 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.

0%
Release 1 (Zaxxon) 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.

244OpenPandora Main OSApplicationFeature RequestLowInclude man and the manpagesUnconfirmed
0%
Release 1 (Zaxxon) 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).

Release 1 (Zaxxon) Task Description

If the power cable is plugged and the user chooses "Shutdown Pandora" from a menu, there should be a warning that this is without purpose, as the device will automatically restart.

The resulting user choices should be "Cancel shutdown" and "Shutdown nevertheless".

Since the default inputrc doesn't contain any functionality (simple cli movements like ctrl-left or crtrl-right to skip words don't work) this diff may be useful to add to the cli-experience. I've also been trying to get the delete-key to work, but this is apparently already a known issue (see FS#227). I can remove this from the diff if you want. (I couldn't attach a file to the task somehow)

327OpenPandora Main OSCoreFeature RequestLowContext menu for the XFCE menuUnconfirmed
0%
Release 1 (Zaxxon) Task Description

Right now. the XFCE menu handles right clicks like left clicks. It would be more logical to either not do anything on a right click, or open a context menu that e.g. lets the user generate a link to an application on the desktop.


94OpenPandora Main OSCoreBug ReportLowBacklight control by lid sensor not detected after bootNew
0%
All Task Description

If you boot the system with the lid closed, the backlight will still be on when you get to the desktop. You have to lift the lid for an instant and then close again to shut it off. Perhaps this is because of the lack of trigger for an interrupt since the sensor is already activated. Can there be one extra check of the lid sensor after boot to cover this static position?
