Hi Farox, Thanks for your reply. I've been talking to ptitseb and he's been working on it. It looks like we're close to having both entangle and gphoto2 on the pandora! I guess GTK3 isn't enough to stop someone like ptitseb! Obviously I can't make any promises though, he's still working on it...

Thanks for the tips. But I can't seem to figure out how to install stuff in the minimal image. I found the slackware package repo but it only seems to have i586, not arm...

OK so I'm playing around with sl4p but I can't seem to figure out how to chroot into it. Can you point me to some instructions for that? Also I'd love to be able to reduce the size of slackware. is there a way that I can figure out what is essential and what is safe to remove to turn it into a...

That could be a workable option. A whole OS and SD card for maybe a few mb of program seems excessive though. I'll take a look at the sl4p wiki page.

There's a lot more to it than that if I'm going to use it as my daily-driver-OS. I don't think I've ever spent less than a day tweaking and installing stuff when I've installed a new OS. I did try out pandian very early on and found it was missing a whole bunch of pandora-specific stuff (for...

Thanks, but that seems a bit extreme. I have a bunch of stuff set up on my pandora the way I like it. Installing and configuring a new OS would probably be more effort than figuring out the compiling problems. But thanks for the suggestion, I'll keep it in mind.

Hi, I'm hoping to use gphoto2 on my pandora to be able to tether my DSLR camera (Nikon D3200). I've been screwing around trying to get gphoto2 working properly on my pandora all day. I feel like somebody with more knowledge of compiling would be able to do it fairly easily and save me a whole...

Resurrecting a very old thread because I was trying to get man installed on my pandora. I found this thread and had some corrections and further tips 1) The links provided in Mash's post no longer work, but I was able to find the .ipk files at the following URLs (I also included the man-doc...

Take a day off ED! I can wait an extra day :)

ha, I should have just asked the question. But yes, mine includes the entire post.

All, I couldn't seem to find any way to get an RSS feed of the pyra news forum (https://pyra-handheld.com/boards/forums/pyra-news.250/), so I hacked my own together. I thought it might be useful to others so I'm posting it here. it's at http://antisol.org/pyra-news/ It works by scraping the...

Don't let it get you down ED. I remember reading about all the hurdles you had during the development of the pandora. To me it seems like the work on the pyra has gone pretty smoothly by comparison! Also for me at least (and I suspect many others as well) your communication makes a huge...

My 2 cents: It took me quite a long time to make a vote, there were a lot of layouts and it's a complex decision. I've tried to consider a wide number of use cases, but in the end I think my decision was more based on what I want (for instance, being an english-only speaker, I don't have a...

thanks HelenF, that did it :)

Hi, I just upgraded Pandora OS for the first time in many months (probably about 6 months but I'm not sure). The update went OK. It spat out some messages about removing obsolete files in /lib/modules. Unfortunately I didn't save the log, I chose the 'reboot' option at the end of the upgrade...

Thanks for the vid., but I don't think I'd be comfortable doing that to my 5-month-old, super-awesome, expensive pandora. I'd rather not have to ship it back to germany. I wonder if anybody can recommend somebody in AU (VIC would be best) who could do this for me?

OK. Apologies in advance for asking noob questions, but is it a simple thing to do? no soldering? Can you point me to any instructions that might exist? (for my own reference, the link on ED's store): https://www.dragonbox.de/en/pandora/65-pandora-lcd-1.html

Thanks for the replies. No, it doesn't change when I close/open the lid, it stays the same.

Hi, I've had an issue with my screen ever since I got my pandora, but it's usually not a big problem so I haven't bothered doing anything about it until now. It seems like it might be getting worse, but that might just be me noticing it more often. The issue is that I see dark vertical lines...

Thanks, that's all I need to know! I figured it probably only says that in the manual for liability reasons, but I thought I'd make sure. Double thanks for the warning about leaving it in the sun - I probably would have done just that. :)
