I installed Haiku in Virtualbox in Windows 10 and it seems to have issues with TCP sockets: built-in mail server times out several times during the transaction (hilariosly, leading to infinite number of mails being send due to SMTP thread timing out instead of reading the response to the DATA command), the WebPositive browser hanging fetching the chunked-encoded content… Is it a known issue with VBox? with Windows 10? with the socket abstraction the built-in untilities use? or with Haiku itself? Are there knowing-work-good configurations to test Haiku properly?
Which network adapter did you select in VirtualBox?
The recommended one is: Intel PRO/1000 MT
The default network adapter may not be supported as good by Haiku.
Maybe also have a look at the instructions for running in VirtualBox: Virtualizing Haiku in VirtualBox | Haiku Project
Yes, it is Intel 1000 MT.
Then I don’t have a good idea,sorry.
Maybe try some other network adapters that VirtualBox offers,can’t hurt.
Otherwise you’ll need to wait for someone who knows more about drivers than me.
I have one very old computer on which Haiku runs perfectly … until I connect to a network. Then it freezes the entire computer.
The solution/workaround/kludge was to disable multiprocessing in the kernel settings file. Yes, it slowed things down, but that CPU only had two cores to start with, so I could live with it.
Hope that helps.
Is this reported anywhere? It would be good to have this tracked.
I ran into some “whole system hangs, no KDL” issues while testing recently and managed to determine a general case where this can happen, but haven’t had time to implement fixes just yet.
