<mint_>
pretty sure this is the right place for this... i want to install haiku on this one device i own but the bios on it is really weird and it doesn't like any of the bootable media i throw at it
<mrentropyvcs>
Is it BIOS or EUFI?
<mint_>
i'm not exactly sure
<mint_>
it's an asus transformer book
<mint_>
i think the model number is t100ta?
<mint_>
i'd have to look
<mint_>
okay yea it is
<mint_>
it seems to only really like windows 8.1
<mint_>
everything else i've thrown at it hasn't worked because the bios doesn't see it
<mrentropyvcs>
You're using the 64-bit version of the Haiku installer?
<mint_>
i tried both 32bit and 64bit
<mint_>
iirc
<mint_>
main one i tried was 32 bit
<jessicah>
maybe secure boot is enabled
<jessicah>
you need to turn that off
<mint_>
it's already off
<jessicah>
do you see the boot media when you enter your firmware boot menu?
<mint_>
which menu is that again?
<jessicah>
your bios one
<mint_>
ah
<mint_>
no
<mint_>
it doesn't see it
<jessicah>
with systems with buggy firmware, I install refind
<mint_>
lemme do a quick searc
<mrentropyvcs>
And stick with 64-bit.

HaikuUser3 has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
<mint_>
okay so it saw it when i popped the 64 bit installer on but it refused to boot
<mint_>
just booted to windows
<mint_>
i saw that it's possible to get linux to boot on it if you have a special efi file but haiku =/= linux
<jessicah>
this might be where refind will help
<mint_>
never heard of it
<jessicah>
it's a uefi firmware app for booting multiple OSes
<mint_>
i think i'll need to install refind first since while the cd image booted, it didn't work when i plugged both the usb and dvd drive into the computer with a usb hub
<linearcannon>
mmu_man: ooh, i'll take a look in a bit
<linearcannon>
i don't have a suitable dev env set up on my mac, need to get to that
<linearcannon>
which means finding a spare drive so i can get a case-sensitive filesystem
<mint_>
is there anything else i could also use instead of refind that might be easier to setup?
<mrentropyvcs>
Not that I know of.
<rennj>
besides disabling secure boot, how about you enable legacy boot in the bios/uefi
<mint_>
out of pure curiousity i tried to stick the bootia32.efi into the haiku usb next to bootx64.efi but all it gives me is a grub prompy
<mint_>
*prompt
<mint_>
bootia32.efi is what you'd use to get linux running on one of these devices
<rennj>
haiku 32bit anyboot is what you using?
<mint_>
64bit
<mint_>
because that's the only one my bios would see
<rennj>
why not try the 32bit on the piece of junk
<mint_>
i already did, bios didn't see it
<mint_>
all it saw was the main drive
<rennj>
xda forums on that craptop had the info
<rennj>
its 32bit only of efi
<mint_>
?
<mint_>
wdym
<mint_>
when i tried the 32bit iso the stick didn't even appear in the bios

mmu_man: question. how much kludging would be involved in supporting the exact same machine, with two different processor architectures
<mmu_man>
like, 68k & PPC ?
<linearcannon>
i.e. my quadra 700 can be either a 68040 machine or a ppc601 machine and the rest of the system is otherwise identical - would supporting that be hacky?
<mmu_man>
no idea, IIRC the PPC from that time doesn't even have OF so it'd need some custom loader code
<linearcannon>
correct - anything apple before they implemented PCI did not have OF
<linearcannon>
so, Nubus powermacs also don't have OF

you need to remaster the iso

?
<mint_>
wdym
<rennj>
is my guess..if its not in proper format for rufus or whatever
<mint_>
rufus complains that it's not iso/file copy
<mint_>
insists on writing in dd
<rennj>
or make sure to flash the firmware on that craptop to latest
<mint_>
which forces legacy boot
<mint_>
i'd have to look to see if it's the newest one
<rennj>
genisoimage/xorriso whatever
<mint_>
genisoimage?
<rennj>
course you have to learn about haiku iso to begin with
<rennj>
isohybrid/genisoimage/xorriso
<Skipp_OSX>
is there anybody here who understands how supported apps work with rdefs ?
<mint_>
yes the iso has isohybrid
<rennj>
or perhaps run haiku.iso on different computer and install to usb dongle..for that asus craptop
<mint_>
?
<mint_>
i have a haiku vm
<rennj>
why not a baremetal haiku os on a usb dongle..to test on other computers
<mint_>
so i'd install it to the actual usb?
<rennj>
do the haiku boot and install to usb device on a working computer..and move that usb device to that asus craptop for booting.
<mint_>
ah
<rennj>
i have no clue..im just guessing
<mint_>
i didn't think of that
<rennj>
or try refind/ventoy boot of that usb dongle from asus once you know it good on 1 computer..
<exit70[m]>
rennj: why not just use the iso
<rennj>
the uefi on the asus transformer laptop is 32bit crapola without legacy bios/csm
<mint_>
^
<mint_>
this device has a horrible bios
<mint_>
so i just tried to do ventoy boot
<mint_>
spat this error
<exit70[m]>
how would a “middle ware” help though. i thought haiku has no ia-32 efi loader only an x64 one
<mint_>
no bootfile found for uefi
<exit70[m]>
not sure about non-x86
<mint_>
"maybe the image doesn't support ia32 uefi
<mint_>
"
<mint_>
lemme try the 32 bit iso
<mint_>
same error
<exit70[m]>
it does not contain an ia-32 efi loader when i tried earlier this week
<mint_>
anything i can do?
<mint_>
i know bootia32 exists but when i tried it it threw me to a grub prompt
<mint_>
at least without ventoy
<mint_>
lemme just try to install it to the usb using my vm
<mint_>
and try that

a quick question about post-install scripts: when are they executed? at the end of the transaction (like %posttrans scripts in RPM). As there is no real "installation" of packages per se, this would make sense to me (and would be perfect for the usecase in texlive)
<jmairboeck>
currently, only the main texlive_texmf package has a post-install script. Ideally this should be be added to all "runtime" subpackages, but still only executed once when multiple are installed in one transaction. Would that be possible?

Ah,the Beta 2 -> Beta 3 WebKit update is interesting.I wrote a small test file with text,date,time and month input fields now to check if Beta 2 really supported it while Beta 3 doesn't.In reality,the date,time and month input fields were totally broken in Beta 2 while they appear like a normal text field in Beta 3 so Beta 3 is in fact a improvement.
<Begasus>
jmairboeck, great job on splitting up texlive packages, should run a new build now to check things out :)
<Begasus>
buildmaster still on hold :(
<Begasus>
jmairboeck, post-install scripts are executed after install, make sure they are executable up front though
<jmairboeck>
what does "after install" mean? after that specific package is installed (i.e. activated) or after all packages in the current transaction? RPM for example distinguishes between %post scripts and %posttrans scripts
<jmairboeck>
but I am not sure if that distinction even makes sense in Haiku because packages are not really "installed" in the classical sense
<Begasus>
activated afaik
<jmairboeck>
for texlive, we would need %posttrans behaviour (speaking in RPM terms), and I think this is already the case now, but I just wanted to make sure
<jmairboeck>
and the second question: can the post-install script be added to all runtime subpackages (under the same name) and will it then only be executed once when multiple are installed at once, and does the post-install script need to be part of the package or can it also refer to a dependency (i.e. the main texlive_texmf package) which contains the script?
<Begasus>
Your changes to the recipe and subpackages are way beyond my skills, can only check now :)
<jmairboeck>
I used some perl scripts to generate parts of the recipe
<jmairboeck>
but beware, I am a complete noob in perl, I literally googled "perl tutorial" before starting to write those scripts ;)
<Begasus>
;)
<jmairboeck>
I hope they meet the quality standards of Haiku :)
a32bitmint has quit [Quit: Leaving]
<jmairboeck>
but I don't think there is much perl code up to now in Haiku or HaikuPorts
<jmairboeck>
but using perl is probably the easiest for this nevertheless, because it utilises the API for the texlive package database and doesn't need to parse that by hand
<Begasus>
no one has ever gone that way, so it's a wip
<Begasus>

(AGMS) jmairboeck, package install scripts get run near the end of the install (or at next boot for default packages in fresh OS installs). You'll have to put a script in with each of your subpackages that does magic. Perhaps have them fire off a secondary isolated (stdin, stdout redirected to /dev/null) script with a time delay, and check before firing it off that it isn't already running. Then hopefully everything will be
<B2IA>
installed before the time delay runs out, and you can do your special update.

I have a stupid question: Is that beep when I plug or unplug the power cable of my laptop made by Haiku or could it come directly from the hardware,too?Because we talked about audio not working a few weeks ago and I tried it again today and it still doesn't work but I noticed that the beep works.

(AGMS) That's probably your laptop's BIOS doing the beep. Is there a slot for a power on/off sound effect in the Sounds preferences?
<Diver>
Niklas[m]: Haiku doesn't produce any sounds
<B2IA>
(AGMS) I don't see one here, but then it's not a laptop.
<Niklas[m]>
No,there are no sounds set in Sounds preferences

AGMS: I thought whether it would do "the right thing" if I put the same script as a post-install script into all the packages. The only thing is, it should only be executed once, not multiple times when multiple of these packages are installed in the same transaction. It wouldn't harm when the script is executed multiple times but it would be redundant (and time-consuming).

From a filesystem perspective, the script would only be visible once of course because it has the same name. But is it executed once for every package where it is contained or each script file in the boot/post-install directory just once?

(AGMS) jmairboeck, it would be executed once for each package installed. Thus my suggestion for a fired off separate script.

(AGMS-Cottage) My bash scripting to see if a process is already running, jmairboeck:
<B2IA>
(AGMS-Cottage:) AGMS-Cottage:
<B2IA>
(AGMS-Cottage) ProcessList=`ps` # Don't pipe output directly to grep, would detect grep itself.
<B2IA>
(AGMS-Cottage) echo "Checking if already running, process count is $ProcessCount""
<B2IA>
(AGMS-Cottage) if [ $ProcessCount -gt 1 ]
<B2IA>
(AGMS-Cottage) then
<B2IA>
(AGMS-Cottage) echo "$0 is already running, won't start up a redundant copy.""
<B2IA>
(AGMS-Cottage) exit
<B2IA>
(AGMS-Cottage) fi
<jmairboeck>
thanks, AGMS-Cottage, I'll try that (maybe next weekend)
<B2IA>
(AGMS-Cottage) Hope it helps.

I have added a comment to the pull-request that this is not yet resolved
<jmairboeck>
It is currently marked "wip-no-merge" anyway. Sorry Anarchos (or any other potential users of texlive), this will take a bit longer until it works correctly ...

Hi all. I'm looking for folks who have run Haiku on a laptop and had a great experience. I've seen a few compatible laptops listed but I'm hoping to find a recommendation from someone with real experience.
<Niklas[m]>
I have two laptops with Haiku.
<Edge_Connector>
How well do they work for you? Would you recommend using them to showcase it?
<Edge_Connector>
Might I ask which models?

The Lenovo 3000 N200 is the bigger one.It works fine,all drivers are working but Wifi is a bit unstable (it disconnects every few minutes).You can workaround that by using Ethernet cable.
<Niklas[m]>
The Acer TravelMate B117 is smaller and newer.It works pretty good,too.Wifi is stable here but Audio doesn't work (Intel HD Audio,may get fixed some day).

I need some help. The way I understand it you add a resource file_types message { "types" = "signature" }; to an ref file to add support for that application to be able to handle that type. Unfortunately, this is not working for me. As I cycle through the supported apps nothing comes up. I further observed that for example WebPositive has a "types" entry for "application/x-vnd.Be.URL.file" but if I look in FileTypes under z
<Skipp_OSX>
"File URL" WebPositive is not listed as a Preferred application
<Skipp_OSX>
*rdef not ref
<Skipp_OSX>
is there a way perhaps to rebuild the mime db ?

if I try to set the "File URL" type (sig: application/x-vnd.Be.URL.file) Preferred application to WebPositive FileTypes says: "The application 'WebPositive' does not support this file type. Are you sure you want to set it anyway?" Same thing for my app on a different type.
<Coldfirex_>
sorry, no se'
<Skipp_OSX>
This has been holding me back for a while but I don't understand enough about it to know what's wrong.
<Skipp_OSX>
seems like the file_types message resource is not getting read in when the app starts
<Coldfirex_>
So I just updated the arch_elf.h headers and used my normal git commit process but they dont show up in Gerrit. Where did they go?
<Skipp_OSX>
If I go to Application types window and Edit WebPositive I can see "File URL" in the list of supported types, same for my apps and my type. So it is reading the file_types message, the problem is somewhere else.

It’s good to know that BeBits won’t get lost in time like all the other BeOS community websites, and that it will continue to be the centre of the BeOS Haiku community.
