What's happening?

  • Genius

    I bought a used PA-1 on eBay and was dissappointed when I couldn't get it to work with either of my Win98 (yeah, I still have one!), or Win2K machines. I had written a "nice" email to the sender saying so. While waiting for a response I decided to try out Linux and found this and pa2usb. I compiled them (well, with some "tweaking") and ran them, and voila! everything...

  • good software, but...

    there are currently a few, but very annoying bugs. The most important one is probably when it just freezes when you upload to the device. and it happens very often. There's also no way to remove from the queue from what i've noticed. it has potential, but until at least those bugs are ironed out, it's not very viable.

  • Comment: gnopa uses 100% CPU, even when idle

    Logged In: YES user_id=109252 Hmmm, looks like I forgot to check the "Check to Upload and Attach a File" box. Here's another try.

  • Comment: cannot follow symbolic directory links

    Logged In: YES user_id=109252 I just noticed that, on my file system, my "symlink" directory was dangling (it was linked to a directory that did not exist). Once I patched up the symbolic link, gnopa behaved correctly. I recommend changing the status to closed (or whatever is appropriate for an erroneous bug report).

  • gnopa uses 100% CPU, even when idle

    When I run gnopa, it consumes 100% of my CPU, even when it is sitting idle. I think it uses low-priority threads, because I haven't noticed other applications getting as sluggish. Still, it's something that can be remedied. I found two causes: the gui_loop and the action_loop. The first cause is that the gui_loop runs when the GTK loop is idle. The CVS history says that this is a...

  • Convert files on-the-fly when uploading

    Background: The audio files on my desktop aren't all in a suitable format for the handheld. Some are saved as high-quailty MP3s, which take up too much room on my PA-1. Others are saved as Ogg Vorbis files, which cannot be played on my PA-1. Request: I would like gnopa to process/convert the files on my desktop, on the fly, as it uploads them to my PA-1. For example, gnopa would...

  • Comment: race-cond startup crash on cardSizes

    Logged In: YES user_id=221514 I can't reproduce this bug, but I do see the problem spot (thanks for the descript.). Added an initialization to NULL for cardSizes and added a check for NULL in the gui_loop section. These changes are in the 1.18 cvs version of the callbacks.c file and will be included in the next release.

  • race-cond startup crash on cardSizes

    On my system, gnopa (ver 0.1 pre 5) crashes on startup about 25% of the time. It never crashes if started under GDB. The crash seems to be caused by a race condition between action_loop and gui_loop. Specifically, if gui_loop dereferences the global "cardSizes" variable for its call to "UpdateDeviceList" before action_loop can initialize "cardSizes" with...

  • becomes unstable if device is unplugged

    gnopa (ver 0.1 pre 5) gets put into a bad state if the device is unplugged while gnopa is running, even if you plug the device back in. If you try to copy an MP3 to the device after the device has been unplugged, gnopa prints out many error messages then asserts in GTK. I have pasted the last screen-full of output below: Seeking Error Before Read: : Input/output error cpa-mp3...
