Hardware: PC: Acer Veriton M6610G CPU: Intel Core i5-2500 (4c/4t) GPU: GeForce GTX 460 with 1GB of VRAM RAM: 8GB DDR3 Boot drive: SATA DVD drive

I have an old ASUS F5R laptop with ATI Radeon X1100 GPU.
I wanted to install the latest version of HaikuOS (x86), but the GUI doesn't start correctly.
Is there any way to bypass the default driver (like "nomodeset" on linux distros) and install the required Radeon drivers?

Is It? (Comment)

Clearly I am doing something wrong. I am trying to install Haiku to a 10gb vhd in Qemu. I have tried initializing with both Intel and GUID. Only Intel allows for the partition to be active with and X in the box. Format the partition to Be file system and it is marked as Active, but not Boot.

Install to the partition.

And sure enough, it does not boot.

What did I do wrong?

I have the USB with the iso file from the link, but I need Rufus. So I need Rufus portable but I need x86 but portable is for x64. X64 = 64-bit, x86 = 32-bit. When I try to boot from the boot loader, windows 7 boot screen! Not helping! And did I mention Win32diskimager isn't working? Now I did. So, a little help?

Hi, I successfully installed haiku on my ThinkPad X 31 but I have a problem with it. When I insert amy kind of usb in the usb port haiku crashes and shows a kernel debug error. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Older posts (Reddit, Haiku forums, elsewhere) say Haiku doesn't work with Ventoy... except for this one:

Hello from Haiku, which I’m running via Ventoy.

Unfortunately, that doesn't give any more info.

So, I'm wondering:

• Does Haiku really work on Ventoy now?
• Does it require a specific version of Ventoy?

Thanks for any info.

I know from previous threads that it works pretty well on these ancient little things - as well as anything modern has any right to, of course - but I wonder if I could take it on the go as a distraction-free writing device. I have its old battery I could re-cell (I repair PEVs so I have no end of 18650s around), but if Haiku just keeps everything running on high all the time it's probably not worth the trouble as even quality cells would only last a couple hours.

Hey guys, this is my first post on here. I'm having some issues running Haiku's live environment on my laptop.

The laptop is a MSI GP72 6QF Leopard Pro with:

- Intel Core i7 6700HQ

- 8GB of RAM

- NVIDIA Geforce GTX 960M

I flashed Haiku onto the thumb drive with Etcher using the latest nightly build, and I attempted to boot it into the desktop. Everything works fine for about 5 seconds, However, when the system landed on the desktop I've found that the whole system will not respond to anything. Mouse, touchpad, keyboard - nothing responded.

I assumed that the system had crashed on me. I rechecked everything in the BIOS to make sure that I did everything correctly - Secure Boot turned off and I use Legacy boot. I even reformatted the drive again and use Rufus to really make sure that I did everything correctly and the desktop still crashed when landed on the desktop. Not sure what I have to do to accomplish this properly.

Hi!

Some time ago we announced that ES-DE Frontend had been ported to Haiku, but at the time it was more or less a prototype. We are now very happy to let you know that ES-DE is available via HaikuDepot and should hopefully be working well.

We have actually been on HaikuDepot since after the 3.1.0 release sometime, but it's only with the recent 3.1.1 release that the port is now stable and polished enough for us to really recommend it.

If you're interested in trying it out it's also recommended to read our Haiku-specific documentation:

Hello. I've been wondering if BSD security measures like KASLR+PaX ASLR, PaX mprotect, ipsec, PaX Segvguard, FORTIFY_SOURCE, GCC SSP,Veriexec etc have/are going to be applied to Haiku. I'm only asking as an enduser.

There's a lot of channels about Linux and not so many channels covering BSD systems. But I want to know if some channel covers in a certain or exclusive way things about Haiku OS like features, apps and troubleshooting, etc.

I'm contemplating making a bootable USB of haiku OS but I have rigs with A variety of graphics cards so I was wondering what graphics cards are supported by haiku OS? And if there's anything like Nvidia Optimus for haiku?

Thinkpad x230i laptop clean install. I’ve looked for answers a long time and I haven’t found anything.

The Haiku operating system is getting better and better every year, especially with the recent porting of Firefox.

I have however one concern, which is the 3D acceleration.

2D games work fine, there are no issues, but any 3D (and some other) games are really slow, because all 3D-related stuff (and possibly something else) is handled via llvmpipe (i.e. emulated) instead of doing it natively

I mean, FreeBSD also used to have this problem, and what they did is they simply stole the drivers from Linux (like /boot/modules/i915kms.ko).

Will Haiku ever get proper video drivers and 3D acceleration?

Hey all,

So I'm building a new PC and want to know if my machine will be compatible with Haiku. I want to dual boot it with Ubuntu. I've been having fun trying out different types OS's that are not Windows or Mac. Specs are below.

Ryzen 5800X

Radeon 6700XT

Mobo is ASUS Tuf AM4 B-550-Plus WIFI II

Although my Ethernet has shown up, there seems to be issues with the wireless drivers.

I ran ifconfig /dev/net/rtl81xx/0 scan, and was told it wasn't a WLAN device (I suspect that it's referring to my Ethernet driver, and Haiku honestly has no idea where my wireless is)

I don't know what to do here (the Live environment also had this issue)

The other thing to note is the finicky nature in which my Lenovo Thinkpad E480 boots Haiku, which is that it only works if the live environment flash drive is also plugged in. Intel cites a media test failure. It also appears that Haiku doesn't show up in the boot menu, which I find extra concerning.

I want to try out Haiku on my old Packard Bell pc, but it always gives me this error when booting up the installer.
