Forum Thread grayed out and not listed. Is an external link the cause?

Forum thread started by kurtis on Sat, 2012-06-23 21:03

I created a thread in the 'General' forum. Unfortunately, after adding in an external link (which prompted for a 'captcha', as expected) the entire post is "grayed out". I don't see a link to it in the 'General' forum, either. Is it just waiting for approval by a moderator? Thanks!

Intercept input_server

Forum thread started by Giova84 on Thu, 2012-06-21 16:05

Hi,
Since i use QupZilla browser (at the moment faster than Web+) for write in forums and sending mails, etc.. etc.. There is a problem: it crashes very often, then i lose all that i write, and i have to restart to write and compose all again.
On bebits i found this: http://bebits.com/app/2469 this little app can "intercept" all that is typed with keyboard.
But doesn't work with Haiku, freeze input_server. But there is source available, so i've tried to compile it with Paladin, but i get a lot of errors. Thers is someone so kind to try to compile it correctly for Haiku?

Thanks in advance.

USB bootup debug and now can't type in BIOS password because keyboard doesn't recognize special characters

Forum thread started by mamendoza on Tue, 2012-06-19 14:30

Ok, downloaded the anyboot disk image and created a USB stick. On boot up it went into debug (I can't remember the exact error code there were many lines). Removed USB stick and rebooted. Now I can't type in my BIOS password because special characters aren't recognized (I get a beep when using shift-4 for example instead of a $. I am now locked out of my laptop. Laptop is a Panasonic CF-R4 and has a Japanese keyboard. The laptop is now completely useless just because I can't type in a special character to get past the BIOS password. I need some help here.

Odds Haiku will run on Maingear Potenza computer

Forum thread started by macsociety on Fri, 2012-06-15 03:17

Time for a speedie new computer for home/business use but would like to kill two birds with one stone and have it work with Haiku. And when I mean work, boot as well as minimum ethernet connects me to Internet and network and sound works. Without any of the main 3, it would be useless for me.

I want it work well enough that I spend time in the Haiku environment and not just for a few minutes so sound and Internet would be important.

The system I am look at is the newer Ivy Bridge based Intel Core i7 3770k 3.9GHz and Maingear makes a nice small ITX cased Potenza I like the looks of. Video card would be either AMD HD 7770 or they have 7850 and 7870. They also offer nVidia options but not sure which will offer best chances of video and sound working for Haiku.

I can build to order so can anyone that knows Haiku tell me if my chances of having Haiku run on this would be and what recommended items I should get to make it happen.

Here is a link to their site:

Look at the superstock model at $1299.

Thanks

Upgrading haiku

Forum thread started by alexixor on Tue, 2012-06-12 23:41

Hello all.

I have Alpha 3 installed in a VM. Which is the best way to upgrade it to the latest nightly?

Will this affect the optional applications I have installed, or the ones that came with the alpha, like WebPositive?

Thanks.

Atheros WLAN Problem

Forum thread started by shicky256 on Mon, 2012-06-11 21:41

I just installed Haiku on my Toshiba Satellite, and am having problems with it. The laptop is from 2004-2005, and has an Atheros WLAN card that is supported. The problem is, I have a WEP network that supposedly I'm able to connect to, yet for some reason I can't. Can someone here on the forums help this poor little end-user?

RadeonHD Native Resolutions

Forum thread started by kurtis on Mon, 2012-06-11 16:21

So I've seen a lot of chatter regarding the work done (I wish I could remember the developer's name so I could give him credit here) with the RadeonHD chip-sets.

I have a RadeonHD 5xxx Series card. From what I can tell, you need to run one of the nightly builds to use this driver. Unfortunately, I've had no luck getting the nightly to boot. On this past Saturday night, I tried the Hybrid and the GCC4-only builds.

The only release, from what I've tried, that works for me is the Alpha 3 release.

Does anyone have either a solution on booting a nightly successfully, an idea of which nightly might be more stable, or an idea on how to use the Graphics driver with the Alpha 3 release? I imagine, due to dependencies, the latter option is out of the picture.

I did look in my 'Screen' preferences and saw the VESA is, in fact, the driver being used on my system. Unfortunately the only resolution I could use looked a bit wacky on my display as it's being stretched.

My display is a 27" LED with a native 1920x1080 resolution for reference purposes.

Thanks!
