Task Description

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.

222ApplicationBug ReportLowLogin Screen does not accept all symbols of the form Fn...Unconfirmed
0%
Task Description

Problem - Login Screen does not accept all symbols of the form Fn+char
Reproducibility - always
Actual results - the characters :?#|$€"‘£¥@!_ do not work on the Login Screen with the Pandora's keyboard. When fn then the corresponding character is pressed, nothing is added to the string.
Expected results - these characters should appear just like any other character
Work Around - an external keyboard was able to enter these characters
Aditional Information - While the characters :?#|$€"‘£¥@!_ do not work, the characters ;/\'-+=`() work just fine.

246ApplicationBug ReportMediumClipboard content of closed app gets tossed instead of ...Unconfirmed
0%
Task Description

FLAWED BEHAVIOUR:

Copy and paste only works between 2 active applications. This is very limiting!
If you are in the single task oriented MiniMenu you have no chance at all to share the clipboard between apps!
If you are in the multi tasking oriented XFCE desktop environment you can only share between apps running in parallel! Not with apps which started after the source app has been terminated.

DESIRED BEHAVIOUR:

The clipboard content (within reasonable limits of course) should remain, regardless of the source application, so that you can paste at any later moment into any application.

258ApplicationBug ReportLowMiniMenu: Pressing key multiple times only cycles focus...Unconfirmed
0%
Task Description

EXAMPLE: MiniMenu with the option "Subcategories as folders" YES, and the current active tab i.e. "Game" lists:

Subgenre folders: ActionGame, AdventureGame, ArcadeGame, BlocksGame, …
App items: Abuse, Amoeboax, Arkaniod, Bloqus, …

THE BUG: Pressing "A" multiple times only cycles the focus between folders (ActionGame, AdventureGame, ArcadeGame), but never reaches the app items (Abuse, Amoeboax, Arkaniod).

BESIDES THIS BUG in the current keyboard item selection logic, I kindly inquire to implement: FS#243

262ApplicationBug ReportMediumMiniMenu: 1) "Notes line" cannot be deleted. 2) Note li...Unconfirmed
0%
Task Description

Steps to reproduce the bug(s):

1) In MiniMenu select an arbitrary app.
2) Press SPACE to bring up the contextual menu.
3) Select "Edit notes line 1".
4) Insert your string and confirm.
5) Now at a later time you may decide to remove your note line again. Therefore you select the same app again in MiniMenu, then repeat steps 2-3, but this time:

a) Erase all characters so that you get an empty string and then confirm. RESULT: Your change is simply ignored! There should be a possibility within MiniMenu to remove/reset note lines, the simplest being to simply accept an empty string as an input, that's what an average user will try if s/he does not find a dedicated "Delete note line" command.

b) As a workaround I tried something and detected yet another bug! As I could not create an empty string, I simply created a note line only containing 1 SPACE character (=the string " ") and confirmed. This got accepted.

If MiniMenu is in detailed view mode (press the A-button or TAB in order to bring it up, if it is not already there) and you slide over an app whose note line is " ", MiniMenu crashes!

Maybe the bug is connected with the writing to / the parsing from the .OVR (override) files which MiniMenu creates for the affected files, as the separating value in OVR files seems to be TAB, and SPACE is also WHITESPACE, therefore some parsers probably skip/misinterpret this, and MiniMenu then catches an unexpected situation!

WORKAROUND: If you ran into the problem, that you cannot get rid of the note lines anymore, simply start a file browser of your choice, navigate to the location of the affected .PND file and find its sister .OVR (override) file and delete it or edit it accordingly!

265ApplicationBug ReportMediumMiniMenu: Flawed tab display of sub-categories if they ...Unconfirmed
0%
Task Description

I assigned personal subcategories to some of my games.
Some of those subcategories share the same beginning string, i.e: Shooter, ShooterBallistic ShooterScoller.
MiniMenu displays those subcategories with flaws! See the ASCII screenshots below.
Note: The star symbols indicate the currently active selection.

The main category tab "Game" being active:

----------------------------------------------------------
| All | Audio | AudioVideo | Education |*Game*| Graphics |
----------------------------------------------------------
ActionGame AdventureGame ArcadeGame BlocksGame ...
Shooter ShooterBallistic ShooterScroller ...
GameA GameB GameC ...
----------------------------------------------------------

Now if I navigate into the sub-category "Shooter", everything normal:

----------------------------------------------------------
|*Shooter*|
----------------------------------------------------------
.. ShooterA ShooterB ShooterC ...
----------------------------------------------------------

But if I navigate to the sub-category "ShooterBallistic", strangely MiniMenu shows 2 tabs, "Shooter" and "ShooterBallistic", and jumps right into "Shooter".

----------------------------------------------------------
|*Shooter*| ShooterBallistic |
----------------------------------------------------------
.. ShooterA ShooterB ShooterC ...
----------------------------------------------------------

In order to reach my intended tab "ShooterBallistic" I need to navigate to it again. Annoying. There the contents are as expected:

----------------------------------------------------------
| Shooter |*ShooterBallistic*|
----------------------------------------------------------
.. ShooterBallisticA ShooterBallisticB ShooterBallisticC
----------------------------------------------------------

The flaw is the same for all other sub-categories beginning with "Shooter...". All have the flaw as shown in the example "ShooterBallistic", only that it is themselves instead of "ShooterBallistic". One more example to be perfectly clear:

----------------------------------------------------------
| Shooter |*ShooterScroller*|
----------------------------------------------------------
.. ShooterScrollerA ShooterScrollerB ShooterScrollerC
----------------------------------------------------------

158Base OSBug ReportMediumRefresh rate and BPPUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description

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).

159Base OSBug ReportMediumSystem > Run PND Application menu item does nothingUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description

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.

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?

110CoreBug ReportVery LowBattery percentage static in MiniMenuUnconfirmed

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.

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.

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...

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.
