I think you misread. The SD card it happened to this time has no label. So the label which does not exist is not the problem. Changing the label on an SD card affected by this does not fix the problem. It was one of the first things I tried last time it happened; the presence or absence of a...

The SD card it happened with this time doesn't have a label. Also, even when a card does have a label, the location the card gets has nothing to do with it. I don't use "PNG" in any of my SD card labels, and certainly don't use a Windows-style newline character. My current main system is...

I guess that could be the cause, though I didn't do anything crazy. Just moved the SD card to my laptop, copied some things to it, unmounted it, and then returned it to the Pandora. But I have had a experience in the past with this card that I think was probably data corruption, so I wouldn't be...

This is a problem I had in the past which just started happening to me again yesterday. I have no idea what triggers it or why it happens. But what happens is that the SD cards (though not necessarily all of them; it's inconsistent) don't get mounted to the proper place. Rather than going to...

I'm still wondering about this, which I didn't really get an answer to: https://pyra-handheld.com/boards/threads/vrms.76945/ Is the Pyra OS going to have a policy to put any proprietary programs added to its repository in a "non-free" section, so that someone who wants to avoid proprietary...

Personally, I wouldn't be particularly interested in the Pyra if it was another x86 device. Modern x86 CPUs (Intel CPUs since 2009, AMD CPUs since 2013) have tremendous problems when it comes to liberty and security, explained in detail here: https://libreboot.org/faq/ And it's probably only...

Since these are only different sections, it seems to me the effort wouldn't be significant, assuming that it's already known which packages are non-libre. I'm not familiar with how Debian-based package repositories work, though.

What I meant is that vrms isn't based on any policy at all. It's based on the structure of the repositories. In Ubuntu, it is absolutely not true that it reports on DFSG; it effectively reports on Ubuntu's guidelines. In some distros, like Mint, it doesn't report anything meaningful at all. I...

vrms is a short Perl script: I'm not familiar with Perl, but as far as I can tell, it just checks whether the package is from a section called "contrib", "non-free", "restricted", "multiverse", or "partner". So all that needs to be done is, put proprietary stuff in a section called...

Well, whether or not the repos and vrms are set up so that vrms works really has nothing to do with whether or not the relevant proprietary programs work. It's a matter of intention for the most part.

Right, there's some sort of list that vrms checks. If the Pyra-specific repositories include proprietary software, and vrms isn't configured to recognize this software, it will happily report that "RMS would be proud!" even if you have that proprietary software installed (since it doesn't know...

Question: does vrms work properly? If not, is it going to be made to work properly by the time the Pyra is released?

This isn't a thread about troubleshooting a problem with the Pandora, Twiitcher. I appreciate that, but the topic at hand is the design of the Pyra.

OK, I see. You said "sides", and to me, left and right are "sides". The word "side" doesn't make me think of the back edge.

Did you watch the whole thing? First, I put the battery in normally. Second, I added some padding in the form of several strips of cardboard. I put it on the opposite side compared to where you're suggesting, but as I said, I just tried putting them on the side you suggested as well, and...

My original battery never expanded as far as I could tell. Actually, I'm pretty sure I never used the versions of Zaxxon that had this particular problem. What are you talking about? That was what I did in the video I linked. Did you watch it? Unless you're telling me that I actually needed to...

ED, I don't know why you are so insistent that putting padding on the side is going to somehow push the battery down. But fine, here's a video showing your proposed solution failing: https://goblinrefuge.com/mediagoblin/u/onpon4/m/pandora-battery/ I don't know how I can be any clearer than...

I don't use padding on the sides, but I'm talking about the Pandora booting at all. This has nothing to do with the battery disconnecting mid-use. And yes, of course I've tried it without padding on top. With no padding, it might boot with just an A/C adapter (as if the battery wasn't there), or...

Except, it did for mine. Maybe the plastic got warped or something from the thickness of the original battery, or maybe my Pandora's battery contacts got corroded somehow, or something like that, but I'm telling you, the newer batteries I have simply don't make enough contact unless there are a...

But what about, if this problem arises, adding some padding to the battery or cover before gluing them together? Seems like this would be relatively easy to do. That's really the main thing I was thinking of. With the Pandora, I had to do home remedies to thicken the new batteries I bought, and...
