Hello. Anyone had a working copy of "Torrentor" and "ArmyKnife"? I tried to build it with Haikuporter, but I couldn't (I had very low knowlege of programming).

Thank you!!

Help - Haiku CD won't boot, xw9400

Forum thread started by KantosKan on Wed, 2014-09-17 00:42

I recently bought (another) xw9400, with twin opteron 2435's. I am trying to boot it from the Haiku installation cd alpha1R4. It gets part way through the boot sequence, then stalls at the icon of a computer chip. If I try booting in debug mode, the last lines of the log describe a PCI/PCI-X Bridge, made by NEC. There are several entries for NEC PCI bridges. Then it freezes. I also tried booting with nightly image 46922. I tried booting in safe mode, and checked many of the options -- no difference. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Booting Haiku in HP/Compaq nc8230 laptop (from HDD)

Forum thread started by AnttiV on Tue, 2014-09-16 10:43

Hi!

Old BeOS-lover getting "back to the game" with the recent Haiku R1A41. I'm currently using a recent nightly on my "test computer", but wanted to try "resurrecting" an old laptop for light use - instantly thought of Haiku to fill that spot.

However, everything is not well in my Haiku-land. I have made a bootable USB drive from the anyboot R1A4 image from this website. And successfully used it multiple times on a couple of computers.

On this laptop, it boots 100%. It even recognizes the laptop's somewhat weird display adapter and screen -combo perfectly and displays it in a native res (1680x1050).

However, if I then proceed to install Haiku to the laptop's HDD, things get strange. It installs (apparently) fine, no errors, everything goes well. But after a reboot it just doesn't boot.

I've tried:
- Haiku's own Boot Manager
- GRUB
- GRUB2

- Using the laptop's own 40Gb IDE HDD
- trying with a IDE-to-SD adapter with 8Gb Transcend card (this would be the ideal and what I'm working towards) and a Kingston 16GB, 8Gb and 2Gb card.
- Using the aforementioned cards in the laptop's integrated SD-reader
- using said cards in a couple of USB-SD readers.

Nothing works. (Xubuntu boots perfectly from ANY of the choices), after the "Loading System." text quickly flashes in the top left corner, the computer reboots instantly and starts over. There's no loading screen, nothing. Even the text doesn't always display, it just plainly reboots instantly after choosing Haiku from any of the boot managers.

I would accept the fact that the laptop is totally incompatible with Haiku, BUT it boots and works perfectly from the anyboot USB-stick.

I'm at a loss of what to try next. I can't think of anything I haven't tried and it just doesn't work with ANYTHING but the USB drive.

EDIT: Here's a link to the specs of the device: http://www.comx-computers.co.za/download/nc8230.htm
(Mine's the 1.86GHz Pentium M -version)

EDIT2: Also it says "Loading Haiku", not System, in that text, sorry :)

Stable Wi-Fi connect !!!

network troubles in VirtualBox

Forum thread started by s_puls on Sun, 2014-09-14 20:45

Hi,

I use the nightly hrev47851 in VirtualBox. When setting up the environment I used [1] as a guide. Unfortunately, I can ping only IPs but I can't ping domain names. I also added 8.8.8.8 as a DNS in the network preferences, but that doesn't change a thing.

I also tried an older nightly but the problem persists. Anyone knows what the problem might be? I just tested the same thing with Linux Mint and had the same Problem. So it is not specifically Haiku, but has anybody experienced the same thing? And solved it?

By the way: its VirtualBox version 4.3.16 and Windows 7 on WLAN

Greets,
Stephan

Full size titlebar possible?

Forum thread started by ssf on Sat, 2014-08-30 18:55

Hi,

this is the first time for me on Haiku/Be and I really like it since it has a nice clean interface but there is this one thing which makes it unuseable for me, so is there any way to use a full size titlebar instead of this tiny tabbed left thing?

I'm looking at a Dell laptop with Intel 4400 graphics and Intel Wireless-N 7260 chipset. Does anyone know if Haiku supports these?
