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.

When the Pandora runs out of memory and the Out-Of-Memory killer fires, the Applications/Settings/xfce4/panel/panels.xml loses the entries for the menu button and the power monitor.

opengles and op_power.sh don't like each other very much.
whenever returning from low power to full power mode again, opengles rendering is just dead.

the reason for this issue are following 2 lines within op_power.sh

18 echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/omapfb/graphics/fb0/blank
...
66 echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/omapfb/graphics/fb0/blank

if these lines are removed/commented, the gles rendering just resumes fine.

Built-in keyboard input is a central thing on the Pandora, as it concerns almost all user interfaced apps!
I realized that I myself and also others submitted quite many reports concerning this issue.
Hence this meta issue is intended as an overview/accumulation/aid for those devs who are willing to overwork the whole issue.
If you realize new related issues, feel free to add them here.
If this my effort is contradicting the OpenPandora workflow, then pardon me, and instruct me, how else to handle issues of that kind. Thanks!

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

When the taskbar is set to autohide, the Pandora button does not bring up the menu anymore.

This patch when applied aginst TI 4.04.00.03 SGX drivers will allow building the pvr kernel modules.
This relies on task 272 (kernel patch) and should be used inconjuction with task 273

static inline unsigned long pvr_copy_to_user(void __user *pvTo, const void *pvFrom, unsigned long ulBytes)

Please add support for xz compression in the kernel so squashfs tools can compress better the png images.

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".

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".

RELATED SOURCE CODE FILES (to my knowledge):

op_lid.sh
op_power.sh
op_bright_up.sh
op_bright_down.sh

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.

PyGame is damn slow (games with scrolling are not at all playable).
Would be nice if Hardware surface could be used :)

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.

On OS Zaxon (hotfix 3).

With "xfconf-query", the resolution is 800x480@60 Hz.
But with the tool in the menu "Settings" -> "Display", the resolution is 800x480@0 Hz.

With Java (opensdk-6-jre 6b18-1.8),

GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getDefaultScreenDevice().getDisplayModes()

return 1 display mode that is 800x480@0 Hz with a BPP of -1.

It seems to be the reason that GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getDefaultScreenDevice().getDisplayMode() return null
and when closing a java application that goes in fullscreen mode to throw an exception (invalid display mode).

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.

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.

I call pnd_run.sh with a pnd. The application directory will invariably be /media/SD/pandora/appdata/<app-id>, no matter if the PXML.xml specifies a different appdata path. Also, the parameter -d for run_pnd.sh is not followed, either.

I tried with vlc.pnd from the app store and with Dosbox74.pnd.

UPDATE: Original submission contained a wrong filename reference. Corrected that typo to the filename intended by the submitter. Admin: porg.

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.

a) Host multiple volumes at once.
b) Select one for hosting first, later host additional ones. (I guess this scenario is more complicated)

That still need to be configurable, but chris_c does a good job I'ld like to see integraded in the main image :
http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/58794-a-script-to-shutdown-after-charging/
and :
http://chrisc.bedroomcoders.co.uk/?p=77

The sticky keys option is disabling itself for the shift key. It continues to work with the left shoulder button though.

Unfortunately I have no idea what triggers the  sticky option to be disabled. Sometimes it happens after 1-2 minutes, sometimes it takes longer.

I would also like to point out that using the shoulder button instead of the shift button it _not_ an option! This issue has been reported in the forums, but apperantly was never fixed.

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

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").

With SuperZaxxon Final, I've noticed that stuff running on the Pandora like Thunar and bash are seeing a different interpretation of filenames on disk than when I remove the SD card and insert it into my desktop PC.

Specifically, the following two mismatches appear to be present when using a FAT32-formatted SD card:

First, the Pandora's VFAT support seems to be be operating with different case-handling settings than desktop Linux distros.

Filenames set in all uppercase are forced to all-lowercase on the Pandora (whether they're set on the desktop or the Pandora) but inserting the card into a PC reveals that the. All-lowercase filenames set by software on the Pandora risk appearing in all uppercase when the card is inserted into a PC. (I think the grsync PND is what created the files in question)

Among other things, this forces me to use EITHER the PND-based copy of grsync over the network OR a desktop-based copy of rsync with an SD card reader but not both because the kernel will preserve case differences like ALBION.BAT vs. albion.bat but rsync think they are separate files. (resulting in Flash-killing, time-wasting deletion and re-creation)

It also makes for irritating entries like "zzt" in DOSBox or "ddr" in PyDance where I can't capitalize the filename properly without employing Department of Redundancy Department with "DDR Songs" or "ZZT.The.Game" as an excuse for mixed case.

Second, SuperZaxxon Final seems to be using a different (though still Unicode-capable) filename encoding than all the desktop distros I've tried.

Filenames are preserved properly and all-ASCII filenames are displayed properly in all cases, but any non-ASCII characters appear as gibberish on whichever system was not used to set them.

I've confirmed this problem with these two filenames:
- 03 - The Foggy Dew with Sinéad O'Connor.flac
- Lucky Star - Native Misao (Touhou - Native Faith) ???????????????????×??????.mp4

As a Canadian user, my desktops use the "en_CA.utf8" locale and the only other distros I've found which have this problem are Slax and the 1.0 release of its successor, Porteus, both of which use ISO-8859-1 (latin1) for filenames.

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.
