If you were looking for something that requires a *lot* of CPU not sure if it'd work but what about software-defined radio, or (RTL)SDR? All you need to do it is a USB stick with a RTL8187 based chipset (sometimes found in 'DTV USB sticks') and software (e.g. gqrx) . ljones

Ok, I apologise for not thinking of a better title! :) Just had a few questions regarding the all-new pyra however. It certianly looks like an intresting device! Firstly though when abouts might the pyra enter production? Just roughly -- are we talking maybe the end of this year, or the end...

Still got quite a few old computers here as well btw! Used to collect them back in the '90s! To date; - C64C and C64 (old breadbin style) - Vic 20 - Commodore PET 8032 (still working!) and 8050 Floppy drive (think *very* large dual floppy drive!) - Oric 1 - BBC Master 128K - Commodore...

I would do but the only speeds on offer are 600,650,700,750 and 800Mhz. Almost as if the pandora's thinking it is an older < 1Ghz pandora! Not sure maybe I am missing some sort of config file or boot option someplace? BTW *thinks I did go through all the menus at the start running off the SD...

Just recently bought a brand new 1Ghz pandora btw. And I've been trying this out as well. I can get the new pandora to boot off the SD card without any problems but for some reason it seemes to get the CPU speed wrong. If I run from NAND the CPU's set to 1100Mhz; if I use pnd_install and run off...

Hello all :) Was just wondering if anyone else here has had this problem at all, namely trying to get any sort of audio recording working with audacity on the pandora. To date, I've not had a lot of luck! First of all, I've been using this (...

Well....the USB 2 hub in question is powered and I did power off 'tween using the USB 2 and 3 Hub.  Wasn't the crashing caused by plugging a USB 1 device into the USB port  btw? Ok this is what I tried: Rebooted pandora (no usb devices attached), plugged a USB sound card and 1GB Kingston USB...

Wow. Haven't posted here in ages! Just adding this here because I seemed to be having very similar problems to the thread starter here. The full sized USB on my pandora (I have an old 1st batch one) didn't seem to be 100% -- wouldn't see USB devices correctly but would see an old 1GB Kingston...

The N900 isn't bad, but just one thing - be very careful with its usb connector! It is quite a tight fit, and other people on other forums have had the usb connector break off! http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=37107 ljones

I guess when it comes down to it, the pandora is pretty very nearly close to being free and does better than a lot of other stuff out there. That's one reason why I bought the pandora, another was the ability to have a gnu/linux desktop running on such a tiny machine. But other devices and I'm...

Ok that seemed to work (the font I use for the XFCE desktop is used for GTK apps), so far I've only tried abiword but I managed to change its GTK font. BTW sorry I should have mentioned I am booting from the left-hand SD card slot rather than the nand. I also made one mistook I found I had to...

Hello all :) Ok, first of all -- here's what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to change the fonts used in the menus and programs of GTK pandora apps (e.g. firefox, abiword, audacity, etc). Normally on a linux system there's a file called ".gtkrc-2.0" that you can place in your home (or root)...

Is there a way to enable recording at all? ljones

Just been trying this with my pandora though I only tried it on an old 2GB SD card. But it seemed to work fine :) ! Don't know if this the right place to put this as it is more to do with configuration I guess, but I hope it helps someone. Just a few quick tips after the pandora sd installer...

I'll have another look at those two batteries but I guess I just got one that wasn't 100%. Right now I'm just keeping an eye on the whole situation. Prehaps if the battery is swollen it is only by a small amount but enough to finish off that battery. Which worries me a bit -- did I kill the...

I tried removing the battery and putting it back in and powering up. XFCE starts but then closes down as if it were being powered off. As for the screws I did try to tighten one but I fear if I try to do this to any of the others the plastic will break. Tight screws + plastic = x.x . The two...

Nope, no shocks or bangs at all. Now that I think about it a bit more - the screen jumping and not powering have happened before in the past (about a month or so ago). But they only happened *once,* and I probably 'wrote them off' so to speak as a fluke or one-off event. Looks like whatever has...

Will do, just sent 'em an email now. :) ljones

*reads thanks for that .... Unfortunatly that didn't work :( I managed to get the pandora to power up, it started up as normal - but then powered itself down! Edit: Nope it looks *really* bad. All kinds of strange things are happening -- working with power supply plugged in but reported battery...

Oh noes! :( (Sorry for the typo in the thread name). Ok this has happened pretty recently. Actually it happened today! What the problem is that my openpandora is intermittently starting up or not powering up at all - battery or with power/charger unit. Sometimes it will power up but only...
