Latest Bugs & Tasks

Lenovo T60 touchpad is very twitchy to use. Cursor is hard to place precisely where I want it and requires multiple attempts, making the user experience tedious. Changing settings in the preflet doesn't alleviate the issue.

Using the Network preflet, experienced a crash twice in a row trying to select the network from the dropbox. Attachments.

Probably a path-rewriting problem. Pkg is available ​here.

Compile ffmpeg and mpv from haikuports using:

hp ffmpeg_x86
hp mpv_x86

Install both packages in ~/config/packages to prevent clash with system ffmpeg package needed by Web+.

mpv-x86 /path/to/mp3

Wait a few seconds and try to play the same file in MediaPlayer.

Restarting media services doesn't help, need to reboot.

hrev49113, I can't repeat this either. Assuming fixed.

Hi, GCC 5.1.0 reports some 'may be used uninitialized' error. See buildlog.txt below.

Create a file on the desktop with the menu item "new"

The new file is read only

StyledEdit under 49058 (GCC2 hybrid x86) cannot edit existing text files. Creating a new text file works fine but when I open an existing one the cursor disappears and the only operation that works in the text editing area of the window is highlighting (and copying to the buffer) text. You can't even delete selections.

When using 49058 (GCC2 hybrid x86) on my System76 Gazelle Pro which uses an Intel 8 series / C220 chipset, I have to uncomment the lines:

apm true
disable_ioapic true

in /boot/home/config/settings/kernel/drivers/kernel to get Haiku to boot reliably or manually disable those kernel settings in the bootloader.

I will attach a syslog and listdev from my system.

On a related note, for some reason I don't get email notification when people reply to my tickets on here. Should I? I've checked my account email address is correct but I can't see any option to toggle notifications.

I've noticed that the bootmanager gives you the option to disable local APIC but the kernel config file is missing a matching option. The kernel config file only has an option to disable ioapic but not local apic.

I believe RNDIS is the protocol used by Android to do USB connection tethering. FreeBSD has this so can it not just be 'borrowed'? I use it frequently (under Linux) when I'm using my laptop away from home and its also very useful for those who have unsupported network devices but they have a data connection on their phone.

When I reach a webpage that is being redirected, WebPositive displays a message at top of screen indicating a redirection which sometimes is still visible even when the redirection has completed.

This seems to me to be redundant (possibly debugging) information that shouldn't be visible to the end user.

Closing. Closing. Closing. :)

Tried to access haipuports from WebPositive but the left menu bar cannot be used, making the site inaccessible.

Using a Lenovo T60 I tried to disable touchpad scrolling and find there is no option available to do this.

This is hrev49089.

Currently the different translators are all jumbled together. I supposed sorting them under "image", "text" etc. would be a nice idea. Maybe in the future the "DataTranslations" preferences can be become a "Media Formats" preferences and include settings for audio and video formats as well.

Here's a mockup, that also changes the design of the right side of the window, moving the icon up and removing the "Info" button:

When trying to install Haiku, it won't recognize my hard drives with AHCI mode enabled, and the installer kicks me out to KDL (and a nonfunctioning USB keyboard) with native IDE mode enabled. Once installed (to a flash drive), however, it recognizes the hard drives just fine in native IDE mode.
