UEFI?
<Peppersawce>
On my UEFI hw I had a hard time making a working stick

this one is UEFI another laptop also, there the thumbdrive works, on another laptop I get the same as here

using that
<Peppersawce>
I have no clue then
<Begasus[m]>
also tried a few others then etcher
<Begasus[m]>
me neither :(
<Anarchos>
Peppersawce for the bind derror, maybe a wrong number for protocol ?
<Peppersawce>
Isn't there some linux distro with BeFS support? To boot it and fix the issue
<Peppersawce>
ty Anarchos, I'll check :)
<Begasus[m]>
been fidling with Neon already
<Anarchos>
i really can't understand why booting on UEFI seem so complicated compared to bios ... (i never used uefi).the goal was to make it easier and we got an awful mess it seems
<Monni>
I just boot Windows with UEFI and let it boot Haiku...
<Begasus[m]>
anarch
<Peppersawce>
why is bios all that bad anyway?
<Begasus[m]>
Anarchos still have Windows on this install that I don't want to nuke
<Peppersawce>
I guess it's not the safest thing but what are the chances I let my laptop be used by somebody other than me
<Begasus[m]>
worked here too untill yesterday Monni
<Peppersawce>
UEFI's just been a huge gift for Windows
<Monni>
Windows 11 removed dual boot recently... but still allows booting Haiku with Hyper-V...
<Peppersawce>
The more I hear about Win 11 the more I'm disgusted
<Begasus[m]>
well, win11 on this one, but doesn't explain the other laptop only running Haiku 32bit

Huge corporation is only interested in integrating ads into their OS
<Peppersawce>

<Monni>
Removed explorer.exe yesterday... No more ads...
<Peppersawce>
Neat, I'll have to remember that in case I need to make the switch
<Monni>
Had to boot to Linux to be able to kill explorer.exe, Defender would block fooling around with it...
* phschafft

<Peppersawce>
Of course it would
<Peppersawce>
God forbid you touch one of their exes
<Peppersawce>
explorer.exe is still the default file manager?
<Monni>
When I compile something, Defender randomly tags them as malicious... Have to call them and ask to fix Defender ;)
<Peppersawce>
lmao
<Monni>
They used to allow whitelisting some directories, but for some reason it still decides to remove the files...
<Anarchos>
Begasus[m] then with windows you can put an anyboot iso on the usb key ?
<Begasus[m]>
can't count the numbers of tries I already did
<Anarchos>
Peppersawce bios is bad cause it only loads 512 bytes as a boot sector. This is really tiny to boot from.
<Begasus[m]>
with different images, last being the beta4
<Begasus[m]>
also tried different USB port
<Monni>
maybe need to go back to beta3...
_-Caleb-_ has left #haiku [#haiku]
<Anarchos>
Begasus[m] is it a bios boot or a uefi boot ?
<Begasus[m]>
maybe, not sure monni, but I think I used beta4 with that first install on this one
<Begasus[m]>
uefi anarchos
<Monni>
I've only tried beta3 on laptop... upgraded that to beta4 while running...
<Monni>
If that doesn't work, then it has nothing to do with the image, but UEFI/BIOS settings instead...
<Begasus[m]>
strange thing, when I open DriveSetup on another laptop I doesn't show the partitions on the usb drive

I had no issues booting NetBSD, but FreeBSD and OpenBSD didn't boot with UEFI...
<Peppersawce>
I'm talking about the general user side ofc, I guess companies could benefit from UEFI in some way I cannot even imagine
<Anarchos>
Begasus[m] can't help on that field. I stick to bios, i could not wrap my mind on uefi . It scares me
<Monni>
I used UEFI with Haiku...
<Anarchos>
Monni once, i recover a borked installation with DiskProbe (put the hdd on another comuter), and find the start/end address of my bfs partition by hand, to recover the partition table in the boot sector... Not fun.

Whatever it is, can't you just setup you own bootloader stuff?
<Peppersawce>
And remove that thing?
<waddlesplash>
Begasus[m]: what's the issue? you can't get into the bootloader menu?
<Begasus[m]>
can't get anywhere anymore @waddle
<Begasus[m]>
stupid nheko ...
<Begasus[m]>
biab
<waddlesplash>
what does that mean?
<waddlesplash>
if this system is EFI booted you should still have a working bootloader if nothing else
<waddlesplash>
if it's BIOS booted that should be easy to work with
<waddlesplash>
and if it's dual booted you should be able to boot into Linux and attach the Haiku partition to a Haiku VM and fix it that way
<Monni>
The issue is that he can't boot from USB drive to fix the installation and bootloader only boots the broken installation
<Peppersawce>
At this point I'd start thinking about moving the HDD to another pc and fix it from there
<Monni>
Tried anyboot images from Beta 3, Beta 4 and Beta 5... All fail to find boot partition...
<Monni>
Laptop drives are fun to move...
<Anarchos>
is there a mean to move /tmp to a ramfs ?
<Anarchos>
there are tracker/ and usb_hidXXX files in it. Is it safe to move them while haiku is running ?
<Monni>
I'm pretty sure it's not safe to move while Tracker or any other application is running...
<nephele_xmpp>
anarchos: the usb files are debug files, dont worry about them
<nephele_xmpp>
not sure what is in the tracker dir however
<Monni>
I would just overwrite the environment variable in Terminal and start any applications from Terminal... if the path is hardcoded, then it needs something like overlay FS...
<Peppersawce>
opened fifo at '/boot/home/config/var/wesnothd/socket'. Server commands may be written to this file.
<nephele_xmpp>
peppersawce: the haiku bootloader is supposed to find the partition to boot on its owh, but for efit this requires the correct gpt partition type to be set iirc
<Peppersawce>
I don't see any socket file though, is it normal?
<Peppersawce>
I don't know anything about server stuff
<Peppersawce>
ic nephele :)
<Anarchos>
Peppersawce socket files are used for FIFO, they can be created anywhere.
<Peppersawce>
So it works :D
<Peppersawce>
Any simple command I could test?
<Peppersawce>
Like hello world or something
<Peppersawce>
I'm so confused, I'm trying to make a "socket" file to write commands but tracker says it already exists
<Peppersawce>
And I can't see it
<Anarchos>
nephele_xmpp tracker contains a virtual_directories folder
<Anarchos>
nephele_xmpp anyway on my server, tmp was empty so i could remap /boot/system/cache/tmp to /RAM (a mount point for ramfs) :)
<Anarchos>
Peppersawce try play with cat echo....
<Peppersawce>
sorry if I ask but where exactly? I'm so lost
<Anarchos>
Peppersawce in Terminal, socket files have another color. You can try it with 'mkfifo socket_test'
<Peppersawce>
kk tyty :)
<nephele_xmpp>
Are you using something like flash storage where more writes shouöd be avoided?
<nephele_xmpp>
anarchis: curious though, the cache already keeps this in RAM. Sounds to me like ramfs would only prevent it from writing the files, and thus freeing memory.
<Begasus[m]>
waddlesplash think I mentioned enough in the logs, tried every track I could think of, for the record, no linux install on this, and the Neon USB stick only works halfway
<Begasus[m]>
and not sure if/how it could work in a VM on Windows

nephele_xmpp i use a package manager wich takes ages to compile
<Anarchos>
nephele_xmpp i did'nt know /tmp was already in ram ?
<nephele_xmpp>
All writes to physical disk are in RAM, unless they are evicted. That's what the block and file cache are supposed to do
<nephele_xmpp>
especially on older HDDs to minimize the time you have to read from disk by keeping commonly used files in RAM
<Anarchos>
nephele_xmpp i know that, but my hdd led was blinking from 9h to 14h ...
<nephele_xmpp>
Well, it's writing down the files too :)
<Anarchos>
nephele_xmpp it is only temporary files for compilation, that's why i was considering ramfs
<nephele_xmpp>
but if your compile, for some reason, creates a massive ammounts of files there it could help maybe?
<nephele_xmpp>
but that also means it cant put the files onto the disk if it ever would need to because of memory pressure
<nephele_xmpp>
I guess you can only try it to see how it works
<Peppersawce>
I'm giving up, the more I search for a way to confirm the whole thing works the more confused I am

<Anarchos>
Peppersawce wasn't it already the case ?

Server features were missing because of a boost operation not supported in Haiku
<nephele>
Anarchos: but the betas and alphas *are* the official releases?

Begasus[m]: I know you are tired of this (sorry again) but... you said earlier that you can boot into the *existing* install. If that's still the case, and you have a older version of zlib in that install... it really should be fixable with the steps I've mentioned by email. I would suggest to double-check that method before deleting your partition or something.

Peppersawce: currently? kinda. But not really. It depends on the processor
<nephele>
If you just run on a little endian processor that will be what it uses, but for example for a powerpc port that wouldn't neccesarily be the case
<Peppersawce>
Ah okok, I was looking at the openarena port code for detecting haiku
<Peppersawce>
Which is the same bit of code I copied more or less, but I kept the endian check while in openarena it just says haiku is little endian
<Peppersawce>
So I'm keeping it as is
<zdykstra>
since Haiku (effectively) only runs on x86/x86_64, it's pretty reasonable to say it's LE-only
<zdykstra>
though if it's easy to detect BE, that's a nice future proofing step

in C one common way to detect a big-endian platform is to include <endian.h> and then to test for defined(__BIG_ENDIAN)
<Peppersawce>
yeah, it's what they did
<Peppersawce>
asked because 3DEyes skipped that part for Openarena
<Peppersawce>
which is basically just an older ioquake version
<dovsienko>
also, big-endian PowerPC/ARM/MIPS is becoming less common, the main big-endian platform is IBM S/390
<Peppersawce>
At this point I'm just assuming that either way is fine

seems like when cache mem drops to around 400 MiB, deletion of files halts.

how to make a linux partition inactive ? It is flagged active but bootloader is unable to launch it
<OscarL>
set a different partition as the active one?
<OscarL>
DriveSetup or GParted should do it without much fuzz.
<OscarL>
On DriveSetup... right click on a partition, use the "Change parameters..." option
<OscarL>
even the UI is getting unresponsive :-(
<Anarchos>
OscarL i tried on DriveSetup but paramaters didn't change
<OscarL>
DriveSetup now takes forever to open... sigh.

<Anarchos>
yes. it must.

OscarL i think this slow hdd with git is really a haiku weakness
<Anarchos>
OscarL i can't remember if beos was so slow
<Anarchos>
(with same hdd)
<OscarL>
seems to get exponentially worse with the number of files. anything above, say 4000/5000, and starts to get on my nerves :-)
<OscarL>
to be fair, on my BeOS days I had nowhere that ammount of files anywhere.
<Anarchos>
OscarL yes but haiku feels slower than before
<OscarL>
I do remember the times when using RaiserFS was notably faster than ext2, for example (and BFS being slower than the latter, but with more features).
<OscarL>
besides the slowness, that I could dealt with (my hardware is slow anyway), what makes me mad is not being able to close Pe, or open a context menu, etc, while the IO heavy stuff is going on.

same happens if you "manually" delete 12k files.

For 1996, not really. Early 1998 2GB was pretty mainstream/low end already.

Welp, opendune saves some stuff in ~/.config
<Peppersawce>
And I just realized to fix that I should patch a patch
<Peppersawce>
Is that even doable in Haikuporter?
<OscarL>
why not?
<OscarL>
to do the following:
<Peppersawce>
If it's 2 lines or more I'd rather edit the patch manually :D
<OscarL>
"haikuport -b foobar", so it unpacks foobar, initialize the git repo, applies current patches...
<OscarL>
then you "cd" to that "foobar" git repo, do your thing, git add/commit...
<OscarL>
go back to main .recipe folder, run "hp -e foobar". Presto!
<Peppersawce>
Ok, that doesn't sound *too* bad
<OscarL>
for updating more complex .patchsets... you can either suffer miserably, or learn "the true way (tm)" and follow my guide (currently on offer, only 1 buck!).
<OscarL>
j/k, of course, it's on gist.github.com already :-P
<OscarL>
Peppersawce: in the "work dir git repo", you can use git as normal, so you can rebase, ammend, or squash commits from the .patchset as you see it fit.
<Peppersawce>
hehehe
<OscarL>
git commit is really slow. Not helping much with my focusi issues :-/

Reminds me of using Windows with a Korean font... KRW sign gets everywhere...
<Peppersawce>
It's not any better with Japanese locale
<Peppersawce>
all "\" get replaced by the Yen symbol
<Monni>
I haven't used Japanese IME in a while... Not good with writing Japanese...
<Peppersawce>
Fortunately nothing changes with the IME
<Peppersawce>
That reminds me, any good IME here?
<Peppersawce>
I tried a pretty-old looking one but I couldn't figure out if I could actually have it change kana into kanji
<OscarL>
no clue about "good" or bad, coz I don't use any, but BeCJK and mozc maybe?
<Monni>
For some languages, I just use copy & paste from my notes... no need to change locale... But I have some old Korean apps that need changing locale as they don't support UTF-8 or Unicode...
<Peppersawce>
Maybe it lacks the functionality, or maybe it just lacks a dictionary
<Peppersawce>
BeCJK should be the one I tried
<OscarL>
reminds me that I should open a PR for BeCJK so it gets build by makefiles, and not with SCons.
<Peppersawce>

<OscarL>

<OscarL>
Peppersawce: building mozc is a real PITA, IIRC. Either that, or I just suck. Most likely both.
<Peppersawce>
Totally worth it
<Peppersawce>
BeCJK doesn't cut it anymore, or at least not the version in HaikuDepot
<OscarL>
not much development going on in it.
<Monni>
Who did maintain BeCJK?
<Peppersawce>
Haiku without a good IME would be like a haiku that goes 5-7-6
<Peppersawce>
I imagine most work on it now is just making sure it builds
<OscarL>
Then the good fellow of Andrew Bachmann.
<OscarL>
right.

<OscarL>
right. Andrew did ADA work for NASA, at least for a while.
<Monni>
From the Asian BeOS users I only remember tarjan...

Real people use Windows 3.0... Last good one before they started removing stuff...
<Peppersawce>
I remember seeing 3.0 once, was put off by the B/W icons
<Peppersawce>
At least 3.1 had colored icons
<Peppersawce>
Also, the best windows is a GUI on top of Dos? I could almost agree with that
<Monni>
3.1 also had networking, so you would need a virus scanner ;)
<Peppersawce>
lmao
