    which files hold desktop configuration?

    I want to make a backup of the configuration files, so I can restore the desktop (panel, background, etc) in case I mess up. I am used to KDE and all settings are stored under .kde4/ . But my Xfce settings don't seem to be stored anywhere in my home. I looked in .gconfd , .gconf , .gnome2 , but...

    Pandora in Japan: New official distributor (2013-06-19)

    Regarding the nice box, I suggest you still have a message inside "Pandora's Box has been opened.", as in the official boxes. It was the coolest thing to find that, when I lifted the box lid.

    bad touch screen area

    Happy ending to the saga. Link replaced the faulty screen under warranty. Ultra-precise touch now. Happy as a dandy.

    Using Pandora as primary device?

    @Askarus, thanks for your list.  Do you care to elaborate on the DisplayLink? I found many types on Amazon and I am not which one would apply.  I was thinking I needed the TV-out cable to be able to connect to projectors, but this may be better, or not?

    Trade for a Pandora, GBAX reboot, CC units.

    I recommend having a steady field of top menu options either at the top or on the left, so we don't need to scroll all the way back up to see them.

    Pandora community on Google+

    KodeIn nailed it.  It is about exposure and increasing our social media footprint. I have a few followers that are consistently plussing my OpenPandora posts. If more people buy units, everybody wins.

    bad touch screen area

    I am reporting back on my faulty touch screen issue. It took me almost a month to perform the re-seating of the screen cable, because I wanted to do it in the electronics shop of the university to be absolutely sure it was done right. In the meantime, I kept using the Pandora with the nubs and...

    OK, thanks.  I will report back after doing it.

    bad touch screen area

    Thanks for the hint, Gotwake. I found the video about the screen really intimidating. Opening up the case seems less so (no messing with the antenna). I will give it a try. To clarify, re-seating means just pulling it out, air-blasting, and pushing it back in, right?

    bad touch screen area

    New chapter in this saga. When Link received my unit for repair, all 3 top clips were off. They got unhinged during shipping. He clipped them back and the unit tested OK. But during shipping back, despite it being protected by a large package, the same 3 clips got unhinged again. My suspicion...

    bad touch screen area

    All clips are clipped in. I tried to push them further, but nothing moved. They seem really well mounted. I tried to take a picture, but the focus turned out bad: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7r5FPYJ7sJwZzFUTGI0TmZ3MlE/edit?usp=sharing The screen looks flat, but the problem continues.

    bad touch screen area

    Thanks Thatgui. The video taught me two things. One, I am afraid of handling the screen. The small things look really tricky and I think I would break a couple of units before my clumsy hands get the hang of it. It also clearly showed that the problem area is right in front of the speaker...

    bad touch screen area

    No dirt. I have this Pandy for one week and it is still pristine.  The screen mount looks perfectly flat and snug, there is no gap and nothing is loose. I recalibrated the touchscreen a few times, but the central calibration point is well above the problematic area. The problem area is so...

    bad touch screen area

    My touch screen has a rectangular area that misbehaves. If we set the lower left corner as (0,0), the rectangle is between (4.5,0) cm and (7,2.5) cm. If I touch the screen inside this area, the pointer is displaced by approx. 3 cm to the right.  Out side this area the touch screen is good and...

    Chromium changing extensions from .pnd to .bin

    Yes, PND Manager was among those first programs I was downloading. As I said, this was my first batch of programs after waking up and charging my Pandora. My point was just to record this weird (and annoying) behaviour of Chromium here for any future newcomer. I am fine in my marry way...

    Chromium changing extensions from .pnd to .bin

    I thought I would write it here, in case someone else gets frustrated as I did and looks for a hints on what's going on. I started downloading my first programs for my new OpenPandora from http://repo.openpandora.org/, using Chromium on my Linux PC. I saved them into folders pandora/apps...

    links to "official support" broken

    I have been to a series of posts for first time owners, such Tips and Tweaks, or the Wiki, and all links to "support" or "official support" seem broken. Here are a couple of examples: http://www.open-pandora.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=178&Itemid=32%E3%80%88=en...
