OK, so the controller may identify the clusters occupied by the file that is being read/written, so that it can guess ahead provided that the file is accessed sequentially. Why not skip this stage and optimize for contiguous reads/writes, given that FAT (and any other filesystem for that matter)...

Do all your tools really write something on the SD, or do they only say they do? If you close say testdisk and open it right again, does it still see the changes you've just made? That is the reason I preder fdisk, it is verbose about MBR being cached by the kernel and thus impossible to...

Did you disable journaling on EXT4 when you compared it to EXT2? Anything with journal would be slower, no matter what media you use.

And what those specifics would be exactly? Both FAT32 and EXT2/3/4 have variable cluster size, and 1 cluster is the minimal unit of data transfer. Still even the largest cluster sizes (tens of KBs) are far smaller than erase block sizes (MBs), so unless the OS disk cache is able to order write...

How can a card support some filesystems better than others? On the topic, try booting the pandora with the SD card out, the insert it and unmount it if it still gets mounted. Then use fdisk or gparted to remove all partitions, apply changes and reboot.

For future reference, the issue was fixed by resetting the contents of /lib/modules directory to its initial state. Case closed.

You have two options here, actually: 1. Pure java. No effort, but slow as hell. (seems to be the case here) 2. Java+native libs. Faster, but "multi platform with no effort" is limited to popular platforms, like win32/win64/linux_x86/linux_x64/android. If your platform is not supported, you...

XUL-based app would probably take lots of memory. On the other hand, PaleMoon extension would be viable, since the browser already has XUL.

But we already do have OSS support on Pandora, haven't we? I do have /dev/dsp file, and I use OSS as output in smplayer2.

Well, I managed to find a HoMM3 version from loki which runs under exagear without wine. It runs fullspeed with all the videos (and since it doesn't use XV driver, 800x600 panning works perfectly even when playing videos). Still no audio though, I get this error for which I didn't find a...

Sorry, my mistake - the resolution setting from appdata wasn't propagated to xorg.conf. I've pushed a fixed PND in the repo. 1280x720 should work fine now.

I doubt many printers are able to print from (or scan to) an scp storage, so not really. EDIT: by the way, nothing seems to happen when I connect my pandora to a PC with g_cdc module loaded either.

Dear all, I have a problem: my Pandora doesn't work as USB mass storage anymore. Whenever I choose an SD card to share and connect Pandora as a slave, nothing happens on either end. Here's my lsmod output before I share: (dmesg log of boot process: dmesg_before.gz) and after: (dmesg log...

My Tor router comes with a help file (it's under XFCE menu->Documentation), you can start by reading that. Thanks for the tip, I will look into it. repo.openpandora.org does find my router with 'tor' search string. Firefox issue. Qupzilla works fine either way. You're right. But since tor...

I'm not sure what you mean by Tor. Tor router is a console app which provides onion routing, with no relation to Firefox. Tor Browser is in fact a version of Firefox packaged with tor router. Because Tor browser bundle is updated less often than Firefox itself, it has more unfixed issues. So my...

Wouldn't pre/post scripts do the trick? I used to play on my pandora connected to TV, and have written a couple of scripts which would configure the TV out properly when a certain game is started. It's been a while though and many games seem to work well with TV out right away. Still I invite...

One more reason to run an up-to-date Firefox you configure yourself instead of relying on Tor Browser. BTW, that de-anonymization attack was using javascript, which in all sanity you should disable when using tor.

Personally, I have a su password of 20+ characters, and sudo only needs my shorter, 8-chars password

Why would you prefer a Tor Browser instead of the freedom of using a browser of your choice with tor? Create a second palemoon/firefox/etc. profile with javascript and extensions disabled, and you're good to go. Also, shameless plug.

My cdevtools package has a startup script which handles this situation. You can start the pnd in the shell simply as pqr cdevtools, and if there is no X display associated with the shell, then the shell itself is reused for the PND. There is no job control in it, but otherwise it works fine. I...
