Question about WPA auto-join

Forum thread started by commodorejohn on Sun, 2012-06-10 02:35

I've finally started to seriously experiment with the Haiku install I set aside when setting up this laptop (it's been interesting so far!) Some things are working great, and some things aren't. Particularly irksome at the moment, I can't seem to get Haiku to automatically join my wireless network; it just says "configuring..." and then "no link" on boot, and I have to join with ifconfig, after which it works fine. I've seen another thread suggesting to set up a wireless_networks file in /boot/common/settings/network containing the SSID, encryption type, and password, which I tried, but no such luck; it seems to just ignore it. At first it didn't work at all; I have the latest nightly build, and I saw an issue in the bug tracker with corrupted wpa_supplicant, so I uninstalled that and reinstalled it fresh, and that got it working, but I'm having no luck at all with getting it to auto-join. Is there a step I'm missing?

Team Monitor

Forum thread started by Trodfoot on Fri, 2012-06-08 23:51

I tried to do a ctrl alt del to invoke Team monitor (beam had locked up) and when I did I got nada, nothing came up. I looked in the bugtrac and saw there are some stuff with team monitor but not this.

Any ideas on why no go? Is there a setting some where I need to set??

WebPositive sais "Couldn't resolve host name".

when I type a site's address.
I talked to the internet provider; and they said that the address in "network connection" (or how it's called) is correct; and they see that I'm connected.
The time set on the clock is correct; without me setting it. So does that mean I have connection?
Is there another way to know if I'm connected?

Installed Haiku; and the computer just doesn't boot it.

I have 2 hard drives. On one, there is a partition for Windows; and another for files.
The other hard drive had only one partition, for files. I created another one for Haiku; and installed it on that one.
I chose "Haiku's" HD, to boot from; and it didn't do so. Than disconnected the other HD; the same.
It acts just like there's no operating system; other than Windows.

Video display is "wavy" at 85Hz

Forum thread started by jasimon9 on Mon, 2012-06-04 21:18

I am very new to Haiku. I have now installed the 44220 build and notice a great deal of "waviness" on the video. I would think the power supply in the monitor is going bad, except that under Windows XP no such problem occurs. Or at least it is hardly noticeable.

Hardware
ASUS P5G4IC-M Motherboard
VGA on MB, Intel G41 Express
Intel e7500 chip

I had the refresh rate at 85Hz (which is my normal setting for Windows), and on a whim decided to lower it. I changed it to 75Hz and the waviness went away. This is a an acceptable workaround for the time being, but it seems to point out a weakness in the video drivers, imho.

Realtek ALC883 audio driver

Forum thread started by Trodfoot on Mon, 2012-06-04 15:43

OK, I am getting my Haiku box setup closer to being done but I need to get the audio working.

So what I am wondering if, has anyone gotten the onboard Realtek ALC883 working on their PC? I have found there is a Linux driver for it so I was hoping maybe somebody else had done a driver for themselves for Haiku.

Here's hoping.

Beam or What?

Forum thread started by Forumuser on Sun, 2012-06-03 00:33

I've tried using the Beam optional package, but it seems to want to crash and be debugged -- at least for me. Something about "cannot find DeskbarItem," though the file's right there in the same folder.

Anyway, I'm really writing to ask what folks are using as an email client. As far as I can tell, there's the baked in email application, Beam-1.0, Beam-1.1.2, BeZillaMail-2.0.0.21, and Thunderbird-2.0.0.17. Is anyone using any of these -- or anything else -- with any success?

It's sort of exciting inching my way closer to being able to use Haiku on a daily basis -- at least in a baseline sense; email has become another, ahem, challenge.
