    Is Pyra expensive outdated hardware?

    fwiw, a day late and a dollar short My ideal hand-held computer would simply be a zaurus form factor, or even smaller, with an up-to-date soc inside and a good screen.  Smaller than the pandora, no gaming controls, no camera, no wifi, no telephony, no gps, but a hinge/lcd cable that lasts: ...

    pandian - MARK2

    Thanks.  That seems to be it.  I've got normal root access now.

    pandian - MARK2

    I don't understand.  After taking the asterisk out of the root password slot in the /etc/shadow files I can log in as root from the initial login prompt.  However If I log in as a normal user and then attempt to su into a root shell, I cannot.  Is there a way to disable this feature of pandian?

    pandian - MARK2

    Apologies if I am breaking etiquette.  I have not read through the fifteen pages, but am posting anyway: I just downloaded mark 2 and am starting to explore. In my first try, with a 32 gig card, I copied the image onto the card, then expanded the partition to the entire 32 gig card.  ... and...

    Another Potential Use for Pyra

    The article mentions that the problem for the arm products it covered in the article is not with the cpu, speed or otherwise, but with the ability of the rest of the components on the board to withstand the temperatures associated with days-on-end 100% loads on the cpu.

    When was the Pyra announced? How to define Official Announcement?

    What I would like to know is when the term "officially announced" was officially announced.  I am not finding it in either wikipedia (thank god for wikipedia, for they are always right) or Merriam-Webster online.  Granted that both "official" and "announce" are defined in Merriam's, but it seems...

    Pyra hinge design.

    Isn't a heating element going to have some costs associated with it as far as battery life goes?  Would it be worth it?  Maybe there are some regenerative cooling technologies we could tap into to reduce the energy expenditure associated with the heating element.  Just my two cents.  I'm not an...

    FOSDEM report?

    Debian will be awesome.  I already use it on my pandora (and my desktop) and look forward to people with more experience than me customizing it to the pyra.  To say that android and ios are cases of a "fitting os" might be correct when it comes to the word "fitting".  But the "os" you get with...

    What do you dislike the most in the actual Pandora.

    Coming late to the discussion but just found the Pyra board.  Apologies if I'm repeating stuff that has been covered already in other threads.  I don't follow the boards as much as some people do. I use the pandora everyday at work and it works well for me.  I am happy with it.  Open mobile...

    for suspend I do this:   http://boards.openpandora.org/topic/13193-please-help-me-boot-debian-from-sd/page-2#entry271491/URL] It blanks the screen when I close the lid.  It does not enable the power mode (leftswitch) capability. I put the nubs commands into a file in the /etc/init.d...

    I don't think that they are being ignored completely. I tried some changes to the 11-touchscreen file and completely hosed the setup. So X looks at them, just doesn't do what we want at the moment.

    The same happened with me. I just put 11-touchscreen.conf into xorg.conf.d/ with no results. Pointer still off by 180 degrees.

     Good to hear that you got it working. Touchscreen:  Mine is messed up also.  A touch seems to result in the cursor going to the opposite point on the screen, rotated 180 degrees with the center of the screen being the center of rotation.  I don't use the touchscreen so I haven't bothered...

    I just did a once through on a freshly formatted card with the instructions in post #81 as they have been edited and got fluxbox working at the end.  The only differences were: 1)  I had to rebind the sys and proc mounts with exec and dev flags before the chroot step:   # mount -o...

    Yes.  I start x with the startx command and my ".xinitrc" file contains   #!/bin/sh   exec startfluxbox If I just try startfluxbox from the command line then I get errors:   xmodmap:  unable to open display ''   Error:  Couldn't connect to Xserver passing null display
