Can Haiku be used on web server instead of desktop usage?
Just like window server 2012?

Haiku, Inc. in Contempt of Its Community

Forum thread started by kvdman on Tue, 2015-02-17 14:25

I was watching the discussion on the mailing list because a user here posted this discussion in the forum (where I wouldn't have picked up on it at the mailing list because I generally don't read it).

Why do the administrators here censor valid discussions? Even if his technical explanation was/wasn't accurate he was right about one thing. If someone says something against Haiku, or package management, as he described; their comments get deleted, they get blacklisted, censored - that's sad. Of course Haiku developers, Haiku Inc. the administrators, can do whatever they want, it's their website - but it shows how close-minded, unwilling they are to discuss things or show that others think differently.

It would be nice if the administrators here would repost his post to show they are inclusive to discussions of all types (as many claim on the mailing list).

Is Stack & Tile scriptable?

What the title says. Is it possible to tell one window on your system to stack and/or tile itself to another, in a script, perhaps using hey?

Don't program? Still want to help Haiku?

So you don't program, right? But you love Haiku and want to help, right? How about lending your assistance as a Haiku translator? If you speak any of these languages, we need your help. To see the status of a language translation, go here

Cannot Load Haiku under VMware Fusion 7

Forum thread started by ProfessorJohnKe... on Sat, 2015-01-10 16:22

Hi I have VMWare Fusion 7 and cannot Run Haiku on it. I load the vmx file & get an error on startup

"The virtual machine is using a hardware version that is not supported by this version of VMware Fusion".

Ideas?

Using a MacBookPro 2011.

Idea: Include sample sound(s) to test audio

Forum thread started by apgreimann on Sat, 2015-01-10 06:35

For those that remember, in early copies of Windows (amongst other systems far better), there were sounds in the system folders or in Media which resided quietly amongst the alert sounds, etc. that one could play to test if their sound card(s) were working correctly. When testing hardware, I couldn't get a proper test of the audio on some models as Haiku does not include sample music or sounds that test the range of the connected speakers. Usually, I transfer a track to test play, but it would be quite nice to have said files baked into the image.

Without going on any further, why not add a few such files to Haiku? Perhaps even a public-domain classical piece may be included for this purpose. It would literally take nothing to code, and would just mean tossing an extra 3-12 MB into the build. Then again, this is, of course, just an idea that I thought of posting... thank you for reading it if nothing else.

P.S. (If this belongs in the idea box instead, my apologies).

Does Haiku have a working Nvidia driver yet?
