User Support Forum

When I want to check my email on hotmail, the login page loads but cannot login. I am wondering if it is WebPositive or whether hotmail has some setting that does not detect the browser and so cannot load the page. Is there another browser that would load ?

I'm running the latest build (44195) on a ThinkPad T40 from a USB stick. Everything works well after I got the wireless going; it took a while to figure out, because it wouldn't link until I opened up a guest network on my Netgear WNDR3700. It's the IBM 'upgrade' with the Atheros 5212 chipset -- WPA2 works fine -- and I added a small script to the UserBootscript so I can login when Haiku boots up.

The issue I'm having is that I can't boot with an ethernet cable plugged into the computer: it enters KDL every time. I can boot unplugged and start (and use) the ethernet after Haiku boots by just plugging the cable into the ethernet port and changing the adapter from the atheroswifi to the ipro1000, but if I restart or boot with the cable plugged in: boom!

Since both devices work individually, is there some incompatability between them or something else I'm missing? I've got the original Intel wireless card -- does anyone know if this might make a difference, or is the "fight" between the type of connection rather than between the devices?

Also, is there a way to momentarily "disable" the Atheros adapter -- say, from the terminal -- and run everything through the wired connection, then re-enable it later without a reboot?

Hi,

Is the password-reset system broken or is there some "trick" in how to use the system-mailed reset password? I reset my password and I can't get in to post a ticket.

Ok, so I am installing Haiku (have tried both r3 and nightly) onto a drive all by itself. I do the drive prep as the docs say and all goes good right until after the reboot to boot from the drive. When it tries to boot I get an error saying "error booting from operating system" So I then boot from the cd using boot manager and change to the Haiku drive and it will boot into it no problem.

So here is where something weirder happens. I have used the keyboard to do the "hold shift" to get into the boot manager and the selected and entered to change to the Haiku drive but now that it has booted I have NO keyboard. Argh. I have tried 2 x PS2 keyboards and a usb keyboard same results. I have gone into the keyboard and keymap prefs and in the keyboard test area no go. Ok for sh*ts and giggles before I sent this msg I went out and bought a new cheapo usb keyboard same results...aargh

SO here's is where I am at. I need to get a keyboard working so that I can run boot manager in the terminal window so I can get Haiku to boot completely from the boot drive so I can get to trying it out. (yup that is one ugly long sentence)

Any help appreciated. Thanx in advance.
