290OpenPandora Main OSCoreBug ReportMediumgnome-mount not availableUnconfirmed
0%
Release 1 (Zaxxon) 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?

291OpenPandora Main OSCoreBug ReportMediumroot-owned pndrun_...out file makes PND refuse startingAssigned
0%
Release 1 (Zaxxon) 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.

301OpenPandora Main OSCoreBug ReportMediumMissing X keybinding for colon symbolUnconfirmed
0%
Release 1 (Zaxxon) Task Description

As verified with xev, an attached bluetooth keyboard can not generate colon (shift semicolon). xmodmap shows that (unlike a standard Linux system) shift-semicolon is mapped to NoSymbol. While it's find that there's a special symbol to get semicolon on the built-in keyboard, the other binding really should be there in support of attached keyboards.

315OpenPandora Main OSCoreBug ReportMediumPairing bluetooth SPP devices doesn't work with XFCEUnconfirmed
0%
Release 1 (Zaxxon) 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

331OpenPandora Main OSCoreBug ReportMediumHold switch key continuously sends X11 KeyPress events ...Unconfirmed
0%
Release 1 (Zaxxon) 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).


336OpenPandora Main OSCoreBug ReportMediumTouch screen sensitivity too lowUnconfirmed
0%
Release 1 (Zaxxon) Task Description

The touch screen requires to be used with the stylus or another sharp object. Even if I need to click a desktop icon, and could as well use my finger, the touch screen won't react to my finger at all (even if pressed quite hard).


223OpenPandora Main OSCoreBug ReportHighop_power.sh kills gles contextUnconfirmed
0%
Release 1 (Zaxxon) Task Description

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.

229OpenPandora Main OSCoreBug ReportHighEnable wake on alarm interrupts Unconfirmed
0%
All Task Description

Found I'd kept some notes about making the Pandora's wake on alarm function work...

drivers/rtc/rtc-twl4030.c

twl4030_rtc_remove (for when the driver is removed) and twl4030_rtc_
shutdown (for when the system is shutdown) functions need to change. Or at least the shut down does.

oh YUK who's been using goto....

changes in drivers/rtc/rtc-twl4030.c

twl4030_rtc_remove
commented out //mask_rtc_irq_bit(BIT_RTC_INTERRUPTS_REG_IT_ALARM_M);

twl4030_rtc_shutdown
replaced
// mask_rtc_irq_bit(BIT_RTC_INTERRUPTS_REG_IT_TIMER_M |
// BIT_RTC_INTERRUPTS_REG_IT_ALARM_M);
with
mask_rtc_irq_bit(BIT_RTC_INTERRUPTS_REG_IT_TIMER_M);

twl4030_rtc_suspend
replaced
// mask_rtc_irq_bit(BIT_RTC_INTERRUPTS_REG_IT_TIMER_M |
// BIT_RTC_INTERRUPTS_REG_IT_ALARM_M);
with
mask_rtc_irq_bit(BIT_RTC_INTERRUPTS_REG_IT_TIMER_M);

twl4030_rtc_init
added (before return!)
twl4030_rtc_alarm_irq_set_state(true);

Should probably check reg 0x2B with mask 0x08 to see if alarm should be left enabled or not ?
but only in twl4030_rtc_shutdown and ?remove? NOT in twl4030_rtc_init
should remove ever happen ???

I'm guessing it's best to not enable the alarm irq's all the time???

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.

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.

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.

240OpenPandora Main OSApplicationFeature RequestLowMiniMenu shall return into full screen mode (more quick...Unconfirmed
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".

All Task Description

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)

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.
