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.

FAAD2 appears to not be compiled with fixed point decoding. My version of libfaad compiled with fixed point used 2-3x less cpu than the provided one. It's not enough to provide the switch to the configure script. the file libfaad/common.h has to be edited and a define uncommented. Line 68 in the v2.7 source.

/* COMPILE TIME DEFINITIONS */

/* use double precision */
/* #define USE_DOUBLE_PRECISION */
/* use fixed point reals */
//#define FIXED_POINT <<<<<------------

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

I added:
iface usb0 inet dhcp

And ran:
ifup usb0

But dhclient simply prints usage.

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).

With both Hotfix 3 and Hotfix 4 Beta the Run PND Application menu item fails to do anything.

Possibly related problem is that PND files newly copied to SD card are not recognized and entered on desktop as expected.
When you go to Thunar and right click - execute the PND file, nothing happens.
Possible fix by copying the PND to another folder on the SD card with Thunar.
This makes at least two PND files I had work.

Still no response with "Run PND Application" menu, though.

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? :)

populating volatile requires execution of initialization script, which I had to minimally modify for it to start working. I am placing that file to /usr/pandora/init/ folder.

Any suggestions for better place for custom init scripts? :)

This script fixes utmp (and pndnotifyd) problem for systemd image

Noticed problems (TODO):
boot sequence recreates cache, run and tmp dirs before populate-volatile inits them. One of the solutions would be to deploy system with symlinks already in place (pointing to /var/volatile subdirs)

-------------
Deployment:

delete:
/etc/init.d/populate-volatile.sh
/etc/rcS.d/S37populate-volatile.sh
/var/{cache,lock,log,run,tmp}

add:
/etc/systemd/system/populate-volatile.service
/usr/pandora/init/populate-volatile.sh

symlink:
/etc/systemd/system/basic.target.wants/populate-volatile.service to /etc/systemd/system/populate-volatile.service

URLs for files:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18781412/next/populate-volatile.service
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18781412/next/populate-volatile.sh

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

The update mode functions have moved from the DSS layer to omapfb implementaion.
This patch exports the new function symbols for use by the TI drivers.

The last release of TI Graphics SDK Product to support the 1.0.3 SGX core is 4.04.00.03
The overlay needs to peg the package selection to this version.

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

Hi,

Upowerd spams each 10 seconds with warning "failed to open file '/proc/timer_stats'".

According to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=826191 this feature can be activated in kernel. I'm not sure if upowerd can be told not to check this feature, I haven't been able to find an specific option for that so far. Activating this option in kernel, this warning should be eliminated.

It would help give upowerd data it needs, and also it will stop filling up the log, which then I guess interferes with power saving (active file access while writing into log...).

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

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.

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.

It'll have to be in the SKEL.
/etc/skel/Applications/Settings/Thunar/uca.xml

People can replace the contents of their current uca.xml file with the following to gain this functionality now.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Imagine this tab content:
Nubs, Pandora Input, PNDstore.

CURRENT BEHAVIOR:

Pressing "P" and "N" is succession jumps to "Nubs" eventually, as it first jumps to the first "P" item ("Pandora Input"), then to the first "N" item, "Nubs".

DESIRED BEHAVIOR:

That it acts like in most Linux file browsers or the Mac OS X Finder.

In detail: Pressing "P" and "N" within a certain time limit should combine them to the string "PN" and jump to the first item which starts with that string, i.e. "PNDStore". If no item matches, reduce the combination string by one character, try to match again, if that doesn't match, try matching again with one character less, ... , until only one character is left, and if that one doesn't match jump to the nearest previous lexicographical character, which matches.

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).

Trashing a file/folder seems to MOVE it to a certain trash directory on the MAIN VOLUME, rather then the ORIGINATING VOLUME, hence this can result in a COPY RATHER THAN A MOVE operation, if the trashed file originates from a filesystem other than the main filesystem!

This is very inefficient and faulty as it is:
a) Very time consuming
b) And in case of large files this operation can even fail due to not enough free space on the main volume.

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.
