Hi, I'm planning on taking my pandora on a camping trip, and I want to be able to recharge it on the go. I remember reading somewhere (user manual?) that I should only use the openpandora supplied charger, but is there anything special about it? will another power supply with the same plug and...

Hi, I've hacked a new feature into comix for use on my pandora, and I figured I'd share it here first. The new feature is called "smart crop", and it automatically crops the borders from the image to maximise the viewing area. I find it useful for viewing my old x-men comics, which have a...

If I'm going to be overruled on stable then using the testing branch would still be an improvement IMHO. :)

Thanks for the replies. I was hoping to make a new flashable image to make the restore process that much easier (i.e: stick in the recovery card, boot from it via the menu, and wati while it flashes) but tar will work in a pinch. Running SZ from an SD card sounds like an interesting idea - no...

Hi, I'd like to be able to back up my NAND so that I can keep customisations I've made if I need to re-flash. This will obviously involve creating a new rootfs.img file to replace the SZ one. I guess that I can probably use dd to read the nand directly, but which device should I be reading -...

Yeah, the stable branch has old versions of many things, but the reason they're still using old versions is because they're well-tested compared to the newer stuff and tend to be far less buggy. Also you get a more solid base where backwards compatibility doesn't tend to break. I was interested...

Hi, firstly I appreciate your efforts and love the Idea of debian on my pandora - I miss apt. I've been playing with pandian today but I don't think it's the right choice for me - yet. I started looking into how to fix all the issues I was having, but then I read that it's based on the...

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Stan, I had noticed that many items were listed multiple times when i typed 'mount', so I had already tried unmounting everything in /mnt/utmp and deleting all those subdirectories. Sorry I forgot to mention that, but thanks anyway. I agree that it sounds...

Hi, Something strange is going on... This morning I was watching a movie on my pandora. The movie was on a mounted samba share. Everything worked fine. I'm about 90% sure that's the only thing I've done today - I don't remember touching any settings or doing anything out of the ordinary - I...

agreed, but I think you'll find that adding a second headphone jack will be harder than you think - I'd expect that there will be many considerations, e.g: space, shielding to prevent interference with/from other components, etc. Space is a big and obvious one - would you rather have 2 headphone...

Thanks again! I guess I'll have to give pandian a try. I imagine most anything I want to install will just be an apt-get away, so pnd support might not be a big deal. or maybe it'll be something I can help with :)

I was thinking about pandian - I like debian. Bu is there any penalty for doing so? i.e does it have all the nice pandora tools and scripts installed? is running from SD as fast/power-efficient as the builtin OS? Thanks! :)

Aah! excellent point! I hereby retract that criticism) :)

Greetings! I'm new here and thought I'd introduce myself, make some comments, and I might throw in a few questions. I've had my 1ghz pandora for about 3 weeks and what can I say? I LOVE IT! I've used it for at least an hour or two every day since it arrived. This is a truly amazing little...
