Hello all:

This is my first post, I'm just starting to learn about Haiku-- I have had a few difficulties setting up mail, sound, and printing, perhaps someone could advise? Here goes:

The latest VirtualBox, Win 7 Host, latest Haiku (running as VBox guest):
Opensound Installed in Haiku, old audio drivers removed;
Working internet connection (in Haiku!)
Receiving mail just fine:
Printer: Brother Multifunction Color Laser MFC9325CW, I'm able to print over the network using lpr and Postscript.

When I disable the media server, OSSTEST works great. When I don't disable it, OSSTEST, says device is in use by PID 194 (I'm using the A97 setting in VBox audio). How do I replace the media server with the Opensound server, which and where is the important Opensound file to use, where do I put the file, and how can I make this change permanent?

I'm getting my email, but I get "Relay Access Denied" everytime I try to send an email. My settings are correct, what am I missing?

I can't get color when printing the Haiku test page. Any ideas?

Thanks all, I'm really looking forward to learning more about Haiku.

Best,

Louis

I'm having trouble with installing Alpha 4 on my Thinkpad X40. I am eager to use the WPA wireless so that I can actually test it out in daily use. I try booting from the CD, and it freezes when you see the Haiku logo. It only gets to the HD icon.

I burned an ISO, tested it on my desktop, works fine. But, I don't have wireless in my Desktop. I tried to boot the CD on my Thinkpad, which has previously worked with Haiku Alpha r2 and r3. I've previously booted with USB CD-ROM and USB sticks. So it is not a problem with the media. How do I get the error codes to know what is not working.

Hello, sorry for the automatic translation.

On my netbook Asus EEE PC 901 set Haiku Release 1 Alpha 4.1
I had a problem with the connection Wi-Fi (Ralink RT2860).

Wireless connection says: "no wireles network found"

In the console, no networks:

 ifconfig / dev/net/ralink2860/0 scan

It has been observed that the MAC address of Haiku Release 1 Alpha 4.1(4.0) incorrectly identifies:

I suggested to replace the driver ralink2860 version of Haiku Release 1 Alpha 3.

After replacement, AP became seen, but without names:

When you try to connect to any AP without a name, a window pops up:

"Could not join wireless network: Invalid Argument"

Driver version of Haiku Release 1 Alpha 3 MAC address identifies the correct:

        Hardware type: Ethernet, Address: 00:22:43:00:1 a: 2f
        inet addr:, Bcast:, Mask:
