    How does Pyra's OS differ from that of a standard Linux PC?

    So, before I purchase my Pyra I would like to know if there is anything I can do on a standard PC that I can't do on a Pyra. Run games, certain apps, ect. I am big on gaming and I am curious as to whether I can play Steam games such as Garry's Mod or some lower end games. Not on the topic of...

    How far can emulation go? (Pyra vs. Pandora)

    The Pandora can emulate consoles up until PS1 and Nintendo 64. The Pyra will have much more power. So I was wondering, how much further would it be able to emulate if any farther at all? PS2 is a difficult thing to emulate, even on my beefy PC. I'm not sure how emulation works exactly but it...

    Will the Pyra be good for schoolwork? (and other questions)

    So, I want a Pyra when it releases, but I can't get it and a laptop for school. I was wondering, will it be a good device for schoolwork? I am sure it will have LibreOffice, and it could use Blackboard (schoolwork website). Will it be able to print? I know it's a silly type of question, but it...

    Half-Assed Review Because Mine Is At Ebay Now

    A kinda random and unfinished review of my Pandora. Disclaimer: I dreamt of something the Pandora is not. That's my own fault. :-) Also I just read what I wrote and it seems to be only negative things. The pandora is awesome, I just listed the things I did not like. My main plans were...

    I'd Like To Play Amiga Games, But How?

    I would really appreciate a newbie guide on UAE4ALL and how to play games with it. I tried loading something and ended up with a black screen. It is emulating a whole operating system or something? I never used an Amiga so I have no idea how to control it. So, are you awesome? Please give a...

    Use -Ao Oss In Mplayer For Better Performance

    Legend sucks, stupid gnumeric. The defaults blue is the higher one, -ao oss -vo omapfb is the lower one. To be able to use omapfb you need to "echo 4000000 > /sys/class/graphics/fb1/size" ( http://www.elinux.org/BeagleBoardFAQ#omapfbplay_mmap_fails ), I have no idea about this. Be aware that on...

    Please Make The Search Logical And

    The search function is useless as it gives you results for every word you entered. It should only give results that have all words, at least by default. Currently it uses an OR, it should use AND.

    Bluetooth Gps And Tangogps

    Not my actual location, tangoGPS shows that with a nice big blue dot. I use a "blumax Bluetooth GPS-4013 Receiver", costs about 45€. Install gpsd. The gpsd in the unstable repo is too new for tangogps ( http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org/msg761792.html ) ...

    [SOLVED] Led Backlight Turns Off Once I Enter X

    If I boot my Pandora I end up with a black screen. I was sitting in the sunlight when it happened though and noticed that I could see things if I let the sun shine directly onto the screen. The booting itself is normal, I can see everything, things are lit. But once the login screen comes up it...

    I Broke .xinitrc, Now It Loops On The Login Screen

    I had the great idea to install openbox and the not so good idea to put it as default session in the .xinitrc Now if I enter my username and password the screen goes blank for a moment and then I am back at the login screen. Any ideas how I can easily fix this? Also, how can I access the other...

    Software That Should Be Installed By Default

    I know "should" is a strong word, but I was flabbergasted that some programs were not installed by default: Definitely missing: screen rsync I don't see why they should not be installed: htop mc Tiny and possibly very useful: xev Considering that the pandora is a fullblown mini-pc (which...

    Dear Openpandora Developers

    Dear Pandora team, I am eagerly awaiting the Pandora for the day when it's done. I am sure you are doing your best and put some thought into the things you do. I hope you will not get the impression that some loudly barking people who know-what's-best are the community. They just think that if...
