I was getting excited. Booted on my modern rig, 5800X & 3090. Wireless AC WiFi connected. I’m like dang, let me try some websites. FB was fail, but YouTube Music loaded up. Queued up some songs. AND THEY WERE PLAYING! Now I’m getting stoked like I might be able to daily drive Haiku. Except … no audio. So I try bluetooth, and it was polling it looked and detected my Bose QC35 headphones but somehow managed to crash and fell flat on its face. No audio for me! Go figure, haha. Gotta wait a bit more. Still tho, yeah, getting there!

So far only pairing was implemented for Bluetooth, nothing else. So do not expect more than being able to see the MAC address of the connected device.
It means audio, mouse, keyboard, etc is NOT suported yet.

Oh, okay. Thanks for the info.

With this machine, a FS Amilo Li 1718, haiku won’t boot, it kdls with every secure setup at boot, but it used to boot only from CD with beta2/3 (no UEFI, so it won’t boot from USB, it just hangs, and the internal HDD is not recognized so I’m guessing the chipset isn’t supported)
I have a similar model, li1718, it just hangs at boot, but it used to boot from CD, at least until the previous beta release, now it goes to kdl
I’ve been doing some testing through ‘Haiku week’ among other members of the Lunduke community.
I ran it on bare metal, and it have been the best OS on my little compaq mini netbook with 1 core 1.6ghz intel atom and 1 Gb of ram .
I got almost everything working on beta4 except sound, webcam and wifi. although, b43-fwcutter was installed but still, my wifi card wasn’t detected. I used a usb one and it did work. But wifo felt bottlenecked all time, so I used ethernet instead .
I’ll definitly come back once I can have everything working. I’ll be retesting every now and then and repport by filling up the survey again .
EDIT: Not beta4 as mentioned in replay. thanks for the heads up. It’s the latest nightly though .

a DVD is 4.3gb, a usb stick is 32gb for $4.99 USD everywhere, I’d say, 4.3gb live cd is totally fine. can include plenty of apps etc, just make it a torrent, If you’re feeling frisky, put up a $5 direct download button on website.
Test 1:
Dell Wyse Zx0 Thin Client (2015), AMD E-Series 1,65GHz, 3685MiB Ram.
- First boot (USB) i need to select a smaler resolution, then he use the full resolution 1920x1080
- Every time i add a USB stick the system crashed
- Soundcard output not supported
- I connect to vision and haiku forum, but in the browser the system is very unstable (LAN).
Test 2:
Dell Wyse Dx0D Thin Client, 1,4Ghz (2016)
- System start smart from USB
- Can not start after installed to the included hdd (Not supported - Can not install the bootmenu too)
- Included speaker runs
- Connection to vision and haiku forum runs good (LAN)
Ok test 3 on my personal computer here:
I have some bad issues. The system starts fine, i can hear audio, can play video, connect to the internet via LAN ok, but the system crashed after doing this tests and the menu Applications, Descbar Applets and Prefereces are lost, the links to home, trashcan too (After boot all are available).
you should run a system memory test on that machine, last time i had those kinda of page fualts, it was bad stick of ram. i was running haiku at the time.

I finally figured out how to make the UEFI bootloader work on my system. The install application could use some polish but I figured it out.

It works really well but WiFi disconnects and reconnects quite often. It was the same in beta 3 but at least now it reconnects faster!

Thanks for the tip, but I don’t think it’s because I have it on 2 machines.
No problems on beta 3 and nightlys with the same machines.
Excuse me, I’ve found in this article
Fixed volume names of newly created FAT16/32 filesystems via mkfs (and fat fs_tools)
but…
Still, if I create and format a new FAT32 partition in DriveSetup and I keep the suggested volume name “New FAT32 vol”, it returns an error (maybe due to blank spaces within volume name, because if I insert one without spaces the process completes flawlessy).
It seems related to that problem with mkfs, or not?
Is the bugtracker free for beta4 bugreports now? I do not make some because here are a call for testing, not official beta 4 release.
There is a “version” field in the bugreports, you can select the version you are using there. And mention the hrev from AboutSystem in the description as usual.
