    Pyra and Wifi performance?

    Watching with great interest. When you have a unit fully assembled, would it be possible to try it out in various real-world Wifi situations (your Wifi, over to a friend's, cafe, etc.)? I'd hate to see a repeat of the Pandora's very uneven Wifi performance! (While you're at it, you might want...

    Pyra: Wifi verification

    Can you tell us a bit about what you're doing differently from the Pandora to make sure the Wifi behavior is as good as possible?  Antenna changes?  Are you happy with the chip choice?  Other changes?  Are there new testing plans as compared to the Pandora? Thanks! Andy

    Is there any way to permanently hide a topic? I am SO tired of caring corner.

    Sort of like the old kill files from the days of Usenet? Thanks...

    P2 Greenfield

    I wanted to put a new concept for the P2.  We can all sit around and move the keyboard bits around a bit, demand a faster CPU/higher res screen/bigger battery.  But what about looking a little further outside the box? I had a concept jump out at me because I was playing with Sony's little...

    WiFi performance, another clue

    I added a USB Edimax WiFi dongle because the built-in WiFi just wasn't cutting it at home, and of course it works much better.  However, during the day when I needed to leave my Pandora in the bedroom I put it up on top of the pc to get it clear of all the wires and clutter which might...

    Geeky little details

    Make sure the audio input is monophonic.  Currently the internal microphone and the external are routed to two inputs which are presented as stereo.  This throws off all sorts of Linux audio software.  It should look (all the way down at the driver) like a mono device.  Routed to the internal...

    Python 2.7.3 for Super Zaxxon

    Not that it was hard to do, but if anybody needs Python 2.7.3 (the latest in the 2 series) for the standard OS, send me a note and I can give you a working port. (I needed 2.7 for a quick experiment.) Andy

    Boot single user

    So say I hose some of the base OS (NAND) storage, and the GUI won't come up. Is there a way to hold some key combination and get a root console during bootup? Is there a "rescue SD" I would image onto an SD card? I know I can reflash the NAND, but it'd be nice if there was something short of...

    OpenSSL data corruption

    I'm seeing signs that: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=571810 is present in Super Zaxxon. Can somebody point me to the source tree for openssl used to build the shared library for the release? Also, if this defect is present, please consider moving the version forward...

    X server security: -nolisten tcp

    Is there any reason the default OS install has the X server listening to external TCP connections on port 6000? Almost every OS install I can think of these days defaults to starting the X server with -nolisten tcp. Is there something about the Angstrom flavor of distro which makes outside...

    lesstif and xpdf

    I was surprised to find Motif (well, lesstif) missing. It ported OK (well, the configure script insisted on trying to build the regression tests, but WTF) and I have xpdf running on top of it now. libXm.so is about 5 megs, is that why this library was left off? I keep a /usr/local filesystem...

    Bluetooth interference w. Wifi?

    I have a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, paired up nicely with my rebirth Pandora. I can type and also use the mouse in the usual way. However, if I turn on Wifi and start a 128k music station playing, my bluetooth devices stop working, and the bluetooth icon disappears from the bar...

    Missing mapping to get colon key

    I attached a bluetooth keyboard to my Pandora (Xfce environment) and find that I can't get the colon symbol. I built "xev" for my system, and find that the BT keyboard's generating the right X events. "xmodmap -pk" shows that shift of semicolon is not bound to colon (as it would be on a...

    dillo native port

    Just as an experiment, I tried cross compiling dillo 3.0.2 to the Pandora. Oddly, fltk wasn't in the dev suite yet, so had to compile that first (version 1.3.0). Happy to report that Dillo runs great (even SSL, once I had configured the build for it and installed the DPI nonsense). This...

    Super Zaxxon internal Wifi doesn't work after suspend

    I noted this on another thread, but it's probably a one which is hard to find so I wanted to note it here. I found that my Wifi would not come back up (not even turn on the light) after a suspend. Disable Wifi, enable, nothing. I could "ifconfig wlan0 up" and make the light come on, but...
