I've just spun up a new instance of the 64-bit version of Haiku in a VirtualBox machine. My problem is, I can't change the screen resolution!
<OscarL>
Quick tips on how to get decent graphics on VBox.
<OscarL>
Also... if you cannot change resolutions our of the box, that means you were not using the VESA driver. Only reason for that... you had EFI boot mode enabled on the VM. No realy reason for that, unless you're trying to test some EFI bugfix, or something.
<OscarL>
(should not matter once you swithc to VMSVGA, and install the vmware_addons, though)

adrian_: I don't know FreeBSD install process so idk
<waddlesplash>
I know my way around fixing a Haiku install so I'd pick that first myself
<waddlesplash>
adrian_: Haiku can deal with GPT even on MBR boot systems I believe
<waddlesplash>
wait, T440s, is that EFI?
<waddlesplash>
in that case I recommend spinning up an EFI partition with rEFInd installed
<waddlesplash>
it's a great boot menu and general EFI utility
<waddlesplash>
and then you just shove the .EFI loaders in there

+1 for rEFInd on EFI only systems. On some BIOS, you can even use it on MBR partitioned HDD :-D (allowed me to have a BootManager/rEFInd Frankenstein multiboot system than can do BIOS and EFI.)
<adrian_>
ok
<adrian_>
so efi and two or more EFI partitions, and give half of em to haiku
<adrian_>
it's fine, if I have to reinstall it a couple times, why not
<augiedoggie>
you only need one efi partition, and you can copy whichever bootloaders you want to it
<Halian>
o/
<Halian>
+2 rEFInd
<waddlesplash>
adrian_: & yeah, one EFI partition
<waddlesplash>
*^
<waddlesplash>
just install rEFInd in the partition and then copy the .EFI loaders to it
<waddlesplash>
you don't even need to edit the config files, refind will find the loaders in the ESP

Anyone here know how to install maturin on Haiku?
<coolcoder613>
OscarL: Have you ever got it working?
<OscarL>
if you're asking about maturin, coolcoder613, I'm afraid I haven't even heard of it, sorry.
<Skipp_OSX>
ah yeah if dual booting I suppose you'll need something more complicated
<OscarL>
coolcoder613: if it is this one (https://github.com/PyO3/maturin)... doubt I'll ever will (I may use stuff writen in rust if .hpkg are available, but won't be compiling them myself :-D)
<coolcoder613>
I think so, yeah

Seems I have missed those message from Begasus back then about maturin. Would have replied the same tough... "Wish you good luck with it!" :-P
<Begasus>
nice coolcoder613_hk, saw the log earlier :)
<Begasus>
not sure why I was temped to try it out earlier :)

<coolcoder613>
I did because it is a dep of openai and ollama python packages
<Begasus>
did you try installing it with pip?
<coolcoder613>
And I want to write a tutorial on writing a ChatGPT/ollama client with Haiku-PyAPI
<coolcoder613>
Begasus: yes
<Begasus>
eeps an chatgpt client?
<coolcoder613>
Well, I'll be connecting it to ollama, but i'll probably be using the openai python library so even those without hardware to run ollama can use it
<Begasus>
SUMMARY="Kirigami client for Ollama" :)
<Begasus>
alpaka, got a recipe for that here, I knew it sounded familiar :D
