ID Category  desc Task Type Severity Summary Status Progress
328CoreBug ReportLowXFCE desktop icons not displayed when logging on too qu...Requires testing
0%
Task Description

It looks like XFCE cannot find the icons for links/launchers on the desktop, when the user logs on too quickly. This happens either when the session chooser at start-up is disabled, or when the session is being chosen quickly after the session chooser is being displayed (e.g. by pressing enter as soon as the chooser window pops up). The icons are probably not generated yet at that time point.



 



A simple workaround is adding the command "xfdesktop --reload" to autostart. Couls this be included in the next SuperZaxxon release or a hotfix?


291CoreBug ReportMediumroot-owned pndrun_...out file makes PND refuse startingAssigned
0%
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.

299CoreBug ReportLowrun_pnd.sh does not follow PXML.xml or "-d"-ParameterAssigned
0%
Task Description

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.

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.

94CoreBug ReportLowBacklight control by lid sensor not detected after bootNew
0%
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?

138CoreBug ReportLow'del' key (shift+backspace) not workingNew
0%
Task Description

The title says everything: The 'del' key does not work. In theory you should have a del "event" when hitting shift+backspace. This is not the case in all progs I tested so far (terminal and default text editor with gui).

0%
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".

270CoreBug ReportVery LowPower-slider & lid-close events: XFCE observes user set...New
0%
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".

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.

155CoreBug ReportMediumCritical problems after rescaling GLES2 X windowsUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description

When a X window which is displaying GLES2 render output is:
- Either dragged out of the visibile screen region (?)
- Is made larger than it was at the creation time of the GLES2 context
then:
- The performance will drop significantly as the EGL buffer swaps won't occur as fast as before,
- The render output will be corrupted and flicker
- In rare occasions crashes the application or locks up the entire system (which forces you to remove the battery)

The problem can not be solved without restarting the application (Possibly forcing players to complete the same goals again as they were unable to reach a savepoint or similar things).

This was confirmed in Mupen64Plus and the PowerVR GLES Samples and some of my own projects (which are, however, based on the PowerVR samples).
As I didn't see any other reports about this problems (but had it confirmed by other Pandora users too) I would expect that it can be fixed by using a newer X, kernel or combination of them as other OMAP users would be effected too.

178CoreBug ReportLowMount-loop when booting from SD-cardUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description

When booting the pandora-OS from sd-card by using the official tar, you will end up with your sd-card being mounted twice: once as / and once as /media/<label>. I solved this by adding "/dev/mmcblk0" to "/etc/udev/mount.blacklist". Maybe this should be added to the default tarball? I'm not sure as it might be used in other ways maybe (beside SD-card-installation)?

Background: I ran "updatedb" as root and have been notified by a message that there was a mount-loop. After adding the above modification the system still booted fine and "updatedb" ran nicely without a warning.

179CoreBug ReportLow.vimrc-preset for user but not for rootUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description

I am running PandoraOS from sd-card installed with the official tarball "pandora-rootfs.tar.bz2".

I noticed that the control/keyboard-mapping in vi does not work correctly after switching to root (for example sudo su-). I solved this by copying over my users .vimrc to root-homedir. This should already be included in the tarball.

185CoreBug ReportLowXorg driver should not be dependant on user environmentUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description

The patch implementing screen blanking uses the /usr/pandora/scripts/op_lid.sh script to control LCD backlit:
http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=openembedded.git;a=blob;f=recipes/xorg-driver/xf86-video-omapfb/pandora_backlight_dim.patch;h=4a0b8432d083c6e7297192a2920c7a777ae3d098;hb=16f3fff44323bd6b4349d909667b51a2fef3f278

The same result can be achieved by using the sys interface:
/sys/devices/platform/twl4030-pwm0-bl/backlight/twl4030-pwm0-bl/bl_power

This approach makes driver independent on particular distribution. The proposed patch is attached.

190CoreBug ReportMediumRemoving desktop-shortkeys does not workUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description

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.

Ok, I just want to say that there is something missing about the font on the base image. I cant get what (at least for now)

Here is an issue : http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/54282-getting-vnc-viewer-to-work/

With my current Ogre build I get :
Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font

I've googled but so far no solution :(

223CoreBug ReportHighop_power.sh kills gles contextUnconfirmed
0%
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.

225CoreBug ReportMediumads7846 reports odd pressure valuesUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description

using evdev xorg drivers and not the tslib drivers you can receive pressure axis data however there is
a problem with the values reported by the ads7846 module and the evdev driver has no calibration property for pressure

using
xinput test touchscreen
you can see the pressure axis ranging from 120-ish for hard press to about 150-170 for light press (low pressure values can
be quite erratic)

I could possibly hack the evdev module to possibly do something with this odd and narrow range of values, but I rather think looking
at the source that the ads7846 module needs some work.

is there a git tag that has a known working configuration? as I've had problems getting the kernel to compile the last few times I attempted...

50%
Task Description

If you hit the function button, then hit it again to lock the function keys, it doesn't lock the function key.

The delete key, hold shift and hit the back space button, it won't delete, meaning it won't remove the character to the right of the cursor. I saw this on the forum, and confirmed it on my pandora also.

229CoreBug ReportHighEnable wake on alarm interrupts Unconfirmed
0%
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???
