    Pandora wakes up on SD card insert or eject

    I'm confused, too. Wake her up before she awakes? What's that supposed to achieve? Sorry, I don't get it. Why not just let her sleep? Is my question. Why wake, unmount, eject, sleep, read files, insert, remount, sleep to achieve the effectively same result? And to prevent data corruption...

    Analog Nub mode change?

    ... or if you remove the card with the script. Or (happened to me) if the power fails. There are probably additional scenarios.

    Pandora wakes up on SD card insert or eject

    Interesting proposal. But for me, it's most often the OS SD I want to eject without fearing corruption and without having to reboot. There, write protection is not an option. Also it would require me to know before I insert a card if I rather would write something on it or eject it later, and...

    Pandora wakes up on SD card insert or eject

    I think I'm not understanding what you mean by "to restore and suspend it" ... unmount and mount? If so, it doesn't suffice if the OS is on the SD. There, I need a full halt and reboot every time I want to read a file from the SD. I dunno about you, but my time is costly :) Also, I'm...

    Dosbox Conf

    Nice to hear :) I'm also starting to delve into the developing sections of the forums and was thinking about something like that, but you'd very probably beat me to having something usable. In my opinion it wouldn't be necessary to be able to edit confs (like dboxfe offers), but it might be...

    Is this normal?

    Ah yes. I heard that, though very faintly. I believe I hear that mainly with vlc being open. I kind of thought it was like a tiny frog burping...

    Simple anti-theft app request

    You might want to shrink a network admin so small that he can live in an SD card slot. :)

    Dosbox Conf

    If you want to put the map into the pnd, I fixed a handful of things there. Nothing big, though.

    Pandora wakes up on SD card insert or eject

    I concur with the implementation aspect. I don't think the hardware can be modified to discern between insert/eject while suspended and change behaviour accordingly. I also wouldn't mind if an insert in suspended state would be deferred until the next wakeup. Therefore my ideal behaviour would...

    Pandora wakes up on SD card insert or eject

    Thanks, binky, that's what I tried to imply in my posting above by "it tends to wreak more havoc than it ever could prevent". Data corruption lies with both options. Grant me knowledge about what I'm doing and then you'll find that the Pandora might be corrupting *less* data if it just stays...

    Pandora wakes up on SD card insert or eject

    ... it might be considered a feature, but in fact, I find it annoying and it tends to wreak more havoc than it ever could prevent. So, is there a way to prevent the Pandora from waking up from power save when a card is inserted or ejected? (Searched and didn't find anything, sorry if I...

    Impressions of the 1Ghz from a 256mb Owner

    Very nice review. Mine was packaged separately and thoroughly (with a spare housing in the original box). I'm not very picky, though. The housing does not have the finish comparable with an Apple or DS, this should be clear. There are bendings and gaps (1mm at the left of the lid, eg). Rough...

    1Ghz Pandora owners buy-delivery dates

    For what it's worth, I ordered my 1Ghz on 02.07.2012 with EDs shop and got an intermittent (not definitive) shipping info on 19.07.2012. Arrival was 13.08.2012. Less than Two Months! (My unchanged original preorder from 2009 or so, I have to take a look, is still mist. I'm glad I have...

    Still waiting on an RMA since Jan 2012

    I might be wrong, but I assumed he might have given his real name in one of the 3 pms he sent you. Especially since he claims they contained If I'm wrong, I'm sorry. I'd then go on and call ye olde grove a tad thick, maybe. But to me he sounded polite, patient and rather reasonable.

    Still waiting on an RMA since Jan 2012

    Welll ... I must say ... 8 months is quite a long time and would, in my opinion, warrant something more than a general answer, even in a busy shop and given the nature of this whole project. I'd expect an examination of the whereabouts and condition of groves unit. I hope that happened via PM.

    Alarm clock functionality - sleep and wakeup via scripts

    This would be a very simple setup enabling you to run op_power.sh as root without password: <username> ALL=(root) NOPASSWD:/usr/pandora/scripts/op_power.sh You either replace <username> with ALL (dirty) or, correctly, with the name of the user supposed to be able to run the script...

    Analog Nub mode change?

    Alarm clock functionality - sleep and wakeup via scripts

    Ah. I believe I missed your point. You're saying you need root at least once to modify the /etc/sudoers. That is of course true. You'd have to ask for the root password at the first execution ("installation").

    Alarm clock functionality - sleep and wakeup via scripts

    Yes, the general concept is: enable users to do jobs normally requiring root (like mounting a cd, configuring printers, stuff like that). It's not a security issue if the tasks and tools are carefully selected and the sudoers list is sensibly maintained. ... I see. You have to include freshly...

    wifi bug and workaround - very situation specific.

    Was rather content with my Netgear. It lacked the ability to share a USB mass storage back then, but otherwise I'd have kept it. I happen to like my D-Link (635 I believe) too (with latest firmware), I liked the configurability and interface. Offers a lot of power user options, and did not fail...
