Forum thread started by Replicant on Fri, 2012-07-20 01:22

Hi all. Long time BeOS user, detached supporter for the last few years. I'm getting ready to return to the community, and have been considering a tablet PC. What's the best device I can get these days where I stand the best chance at running some version of Haiku?

Anyone secretly working on a Gobe Productive replacement? I remember someone working with Ryan Leavengood on Web+ was prototyping such a thing, but is that code still being worked on??

Running Raspberrypi headless with VNC client on Haiku

Forum thread started by Michael on Thu, 2012-07-19 16:21

Just wanted to let anyone with a Raspberrypi know that it is possible to use a java VNC client on Haiku. The OpenJDK port works really well with tightvnc-1.5.1-jviewer.jar from http://www.tightvnc.com/ssh-java-vnc-viewer.php (Thanks for the great work Hamish)

Download link for OpenJDK is in Hamish's midterm report.

Cdrecord don't see my cd burner

Forum thread started by Giova84 on Tue, 2012-07-17 22:51

Hi,

I have the need of burning CDs in Haiku, so i have installed cdrtools.
I run cdrecord -scanbus and no target is found.
So i have downloaded and compiled the most recently version of cdrtools (3.01a06)
Ok, is compiled fine but i still obtain:

Ϟ 00:32:52 Ϟ ~ cdrecord -scanbus
Cdrecord-ProDVD-ProBD-Clone 3.01a06 (i586-pc-haiku) Copyright (C) 1995-2011 Joerg Schilling
Using libscg version 'schily-0.9'.
cdrecord: No target found.

No target specified, trying to find one...
cdrecord: No target found.
cdrecord: No target found.
cdrecord: No CD/DVD/BD-Recorder target found.
cdrecord: Your platform may not allow to scan for SCSI devices.
cdrecord: Call 'cdrecord dev=help' or ask your sysadmin for possible targets.

What can i do? My CD/DVD burner is a generic SATA driver, DVD A DH16A6S inside "Devices".
