    Reporting *possible* Power Problem

    I've noticed a problem, and since this is my 2nd Pandora (the first had to be returned) and they both have the same problem, I thought I'd report it. What it is, is that on an unpredictable schedule maybe averaging once every day or so, the red charging light goes out. I've had enough...

    I Finally Finished My Building Calibre

    Finally, I have a Calibre (a recent one, ver 0.7.20), and it seems to work fine and dandy. I'd kinda like to give it away, but I am facing some problems with this, and I'm inviting comment. 1st, if a recent Calibre is already done, then stop reading right now, ok? 2nd, Calibre is dependent on...

    Keyboard State?

    I find that, more than once, I find myself making keyboard errors, because I've changed the state of the CapsLock state. Am I right, are there still LEDs that haven't been assigned a regular usage yet? I want to suggest that having one of the leftover LEDs be assigned to track the state of...

    Repairing Broken Xfce4 Menu

    About 30 years ago, while in the basement playing with my first (brand new) Unix system, I caught one of my sons going thru my /usr/bin, and executing everything he saw, and looking up the man page afterwards. No, I didn't get the order wrong, either. He was a very stubborn little kid, and...

    Case Cracks

    I had to return my Pandora because a crack showed up in the top left hand corner of the case (near the topleft of the display). Beyond commenting that the customer service was extremely good, I'm thinking of adding a small, "L" shaped piece of foam rubber stick-on padding to the bottom left and...

    Are Hotfixes Idempotent?

    I'm sure this must have been answered elsewhere, but I have tried really hard to find it, and I can't. I want to bring this Pandora to the latest Hotfix level, but I can't see anywhere that tells me what the Hotfix level is. I supposeit only really matters if the Hotfixes aren't idempotent...

    Installs Outside Of /usr

    My most pandora-fun comes from developing things to run on pandora, which at the moent mostly means porting. This might possibly be unusual, but that doesn't bother me at all. Probably because my background is from the BSDs, I like putting the system into / and /usr, but installing all add-in...

    Devel Packages

    There's a pretty nicely chosen set of extra things available for the Pandora. I'm taslkling aboout those packages that everything else depends on, like the X.Org stuff, and it's nicely done ... but what's missing, and really truly badly needed for those few extremists who like to do software...

    Pandora Kernels For The Pandora

    I need to know who's organizing development of kernels for the Pandora, if there's a tarball of the sources (and all of the available, if not selected, options) so I could maybe build me a kernel with additional options. Specifically, right now it seems that /sbin/mount in the currently...

    Building A Book Reader

    I'm trying to satisfy the dependencies of "Calibre" (the nice book reader), and I'm currently at qt. I looked into the various packages listed out by "opkg list", and believe me, this is a VERY large list indeed. I looked, but I didn't see any of the various qt4 (or qt3) package descriptions...

    Howto Do A Cut'n'paste

    I've really been looking for this answer very hard, because I *know* it's got to be already written up, but I sure can't find it. I'm trying to figure out how to do cutting and pasting on the pandora with XFCE. I think it's got something to do with the right nub, but I tried experimenting, and...

    Flash Booting

    This all happened about a week ago, but I had a bit of health issues and needed to get that under control first. My flash booting, which had worked perfectly, now stops immediately after login. I think that I probably caused this myself, I was trying to get /usr/local/lib added to the list of...

    Firefox Not Starting Up

    I saw the announcement of firefox working, so I opkg-installed it, and got a message on startup, labelled "SQLite Version Error", and the text of the error is "The application has been updated, but your version of SQLite is too old and the application cannot run". Note, this is the error I get...

    Opkg Manipulation

    I have a prejudice in the installation of packages which are outside of an OS'es core, that I like the core to center around "/", but I like extra stuff, like games, word processing, etc to fit into a /usr/local hierarchy. I picked this prejudice up from my BSD experience (they all seem to have...

    Hotfix3 Downloading

    I *guessed* that I ought to use the browser to download Hotfix3, so I opened Arora, went to the page, and clicked on the Hotfix3 download link. When I did that, it tries to display Hotfix3, not download it, so I tried doing a shift-click, but that failed to activate the browser at all...

    Where Is Wifi App?

    When I first booted my Pandora, the Wifi came up, showed me some various nets that were already in my apartment house, and since I didn't havfe one of my own, I ignored it. Now I have a Linksys E1000, but I can't locate that wifi icon. I can't have it wrong because every time I log in again...

    Suing To Root

    I have my new Pandora, and my chuckr login with password is working fine, but I can't see (in all my searching) what the root password is, so I couldn't get it and change it. Please, can you help me?

    Case Color

    It seems that, although we are now close to having the cases done, then at the maximum rate presently being talked about (500/day or less), we have all the time required to be able to do the paperwork to allow at least one new case color. I want to ask a few questions here, make some comments...

    Best Local Dev Environment

    For background of this question, I need to make a couple points: first, I have a couple of disabilities that sometimes prevent me from getting to my 1920x1200 LCD terminal. Secondly, even though I'd really like to get into gameplaying, I always seem to fall back into some kind of development...

    Now That We Have An Error Rate

    Some questions that could only be managed AFTER testing, here: First, now that we have a history, how much elapsed time will testing each unit (each one that's tested) take? 2nd, what's the pct. of the 3895 units will have to be fully tested? (I'm looking to see if I can take those two items...
