    Thanks to forum member Link!

    Hello, So, my OpenPandora was wounded in action and thanks to forum member Link it's now back to work. I had gotten the Pink Screen (I have a first batch Pandora) and it was recommended that I open it and check to make sure the ribbon cables on the LCD assembly had not wiggled loose...

    Setting up an SD Card swap file for dummies.

    Hello, I have been trying to set up an SD card to use as a swap file for my Pandora. However, everything I've read (on the forum or otherwise) is about five times above my knowledge level. Could someone break it down for me, elementary grade style, on how to get this accomplished? Thanks...

    Porting DoomRL to the OpenPandora?

    Hey guys, So I would really like to see DoomRL make an appearance on the OpenPandora. (http://doom.chaosforge.org/) I, however, know absolutely nothing about porting a game... but I do know the mantra is "no source, no port." The developers over there do have a stable Linux build, and I...

    Screen cable is starting to go out

    Hello, I'm starting to see the symptoms of the screen cable wearing out (pink lines.) It only does it if I move the lid while it is on. I was also wondering about ordering a new battery so I have a spare. Is it possible to order another cable so I can install it myself? I wouldn't mind a...

    TV-out questions

    Hello guys, I'm interested in experimenting with my OpenPandora on an HDTV. I've been seeing some mini HDMI to HDMI cables in my local electronics shop; would one of these work as a TV-out for my Pandora? Or is the TV-out on my Pandora proprietary to the cables the OP team is making? Thanks...

    Ordering a spare battery and shell?

    Can anyone give me an idea as to where I can order a spare battery? I've been out of the loop for a few months (travelling) and I don't know where I can place an order for that. Also, is it possible to order an empty shell for an OpenPandora? My hardware is running fantastically, but my outer...

    Root Terminal keeps asking for PW...

    Hey guys, Recently I tried to access the root terminal on my Pandora, and it asked for a password. I entered my administrative password and it wouldn't accept it. I also tried reinstalling the OS twice and setting up a brand new, fresh Pandora install, still no dice. EDIT: I am using...

    Anyone else having HF5 issues?

    Hey guys. Since I've installed HF5 I've run into quite a few annoying bugs. First one is that no matter what I try, if I go to shut it down I get the LEDs off, the splash screen gone, and a Pandora with a solid cursor and a glowing screen. I have to drop the battery everytime. Only on rare...

    Pidgin crashes in HF5

    Hey guys. Flashed to HF5 and everything is running great, except for pidgin. I downloaded the PND from the wiki, and it constantly zombies out on me and I have to kill the process. Is there a fix for this, or am I going to have to downgrade to HF4? Thanks in advance.

    Shoulder buttons as mouse buttons?

    Hey everyone, I'd like to use my shoulder buttons as mouse buttons. Preferrably something like right is right click, left is left click and maybe fn+left is middle click. Can someone point out how I can do this, or if I even can? Thanks in advance.

    Make desktop icons go away?

    Hey guys, another question. I like a clean desktop. The XCFE interface has a very intuitive menu, so I had a bare desktop with a nice background. I installed HF5 RC1 and my icons have made a reappearance, and I don't know how to disable them! Can someone remind me how to remove them? I got...

    XCFE clock is losing time

    Hey guys, Over the last day or so my system clock has been losing time. Is there a way to have it sync to a system when connected to the internet, kind of like Windows Time? If not, how do I set it myself? I can't find anything on it on the forums. By the way, the Panda rocks. Yes, I said...

    DOSBox emulation questions

    Hello all, need a little help here. I'm trying to install a dos game through DOSBox. I keep trying to mount a folder on my SD card as a virtual drive, but it keeps saying "directory not found." I think this problem has to do with DOSBox not allowing me to use a tilde ~. Any help would be...

    Any military Pandora users?

    Hey guys, My Pandora is on it's way (somewhere in the UK) and I was curious about its users. Anyone else in the military? I'm in the US Army and I thought it would be neat to do a review on the system being used in that application. I think the mobility of it coupled with being able to...

    Maybe newbie questions, but I am a newbie :)

    Hello all. I'm planning on paying for one of the $500 "mass production" Pandoras tomorrow. Got to deposit the money so I can give it to them. :) I have a few questions if you'd be so kind as to humor me. What is the average time from payment to delivery? I live in the western United States...
