Am i the only one that has problems in file corruptions on haiku?
Since i installed Haiku on my netbook acer (ssd drive) sometimes files get damaged, dunno why... dunno if it's related to the sync command from terminal or other, but i often find some (once upon a time) working archive broken...
this night i coded for hours and hours, then i put my netbook away (still open) and I contunued this morning. The program i was coding worked well this morning...
I saved all the work, I closed all the programs manually, then I shutted down the machine.
After some minutes (like a drug) I started again the machine, i started my program and i got strange errors; I opened the source code (python)
and... Voilà system error messages like these:
2238882825]

and some pieces of code erased
bad indentations
and so on...

so it seems that some random syslog has saved to my file!!!! and maybe it's the same happened to the compressed archives that i lost

Am I the only one that has these problems?

I've got Haiku Alpha 3 up and running on an old ECS Desknote and I see there isn't yet a working email program. Can anyone
recommend one from Bebits or some other place that will provide the email function for the time being?
Thanks

Greetings Haiku Forum:

Lately I have been in need of software for Haiku. What better place to look but Haikuware....well guess again, because everytime I try to go to www.haikuware.com it asks for a username and password. Of course I do not know them, so I just quit the dialog box, and voila I'm screwed. The browser becomes unresponsive, and I am unable to open it after closing the non-responsive browser. I try to kill the application, but Terminal asks for a job id and I do not know the job id. Then, I shut down haiku, and I have to kill WebPositive before it shuts down. luckily the dialog box that appears upon shutdown gives me the option to kill the application, and I do so...its really annoying.

Under the list of issues in the release, there is a brief article describing the problem:
http://dev.haiku-os.org/wiki/R1/Alpha3/ReportedIssues

#7793 WebPositive crash if authentication dialog is cancelled

but, they killed this ticket, and I cannot find any solutions to the problem. its very frustrating.

First attempt to boot A3 on a Dell Latitude E6400 failed, with a completely unresponsive machine immediately after the desktop changed to blue. Safe Mode boot was OK. I discovered that if I disabled the Intel 5300 AGN wireless card in the BIOS, A3 would boot successfully without Safe Mode. Later I found that by moving wireless drivers from their proper place to a desktop folder, A3 would boot successfully even with the wireless card enabled in the BIOS.

Not having wireless, however, is a pain. I travel a lot, and hotels often have wireless but no RJ45. Apparently there was an experimental driver for the 5100 (perhaps the 5300 too) as far back in 2009 on haikuware, but even if haikuware was up again I'm relucatant to try an unofficial driver that old. Suggestions? This is an employer-issued laptop and I don't have the luxury of replacing the 5300 with another wifi card.
