I tried to do a ctrl alt del to invoke Team monitor (beam had locked up) and when I did I got nada, nothing came up. I looked in the bugtrac and saw there are some stuff with team monitor but not this.
Any ideas on why no go? Is there a setting some where I need to set??
No settings needed as it should just work. Not sure what’s going on in your case, though.
Hi Trodfoot!
Should work… Yu don’t happen to be under emulation (VirtualBox etc.) that right CTRL or something is caught by the VM?
As alternative to the Team monitor, you could try the Vulcan Deathgrip on the Deskbar entry of Beam: hold all those modifier keys left of the space key (might depend on your keymap as well…), i.e SHIFT+ALT+OPT+ALT and leftclick the stuck app in the Deskbar.

Hey Humdinger, Nope the box is completely Haiku. I figured if I am going to learn and use Haiku I don’t want something else (ie virtualboox/vmware) in the way.
I just ended up restarting to get rid of the stuck Beam window. But I am sure I am going to have something lock up again and want Team Monitor back. Oh well, I will work on my audio problem first then go and figure out why no Team Monitor. This is part of the fun of learning a new OS for me. I learn more by having to fix stuff than I ever have just reading about it.
Ok I figured it out. Stupidity on my part. I was doing a ctrl alt del all right, but I was using the delete key from the number pad like I would in Windows. Well for some reason when I had mediaplayer lock up I used the delete key under the insert and up came team monitor. So I tried the delete key again on the number pad and no go. So I checked the keymap settings and it says that the key is a delete key but it don’t work for me for Team Monitor. No problems now that I know to just use the other key.
On to see what else I can break.
Ah. The devil, the details… You could use the Keymap preferences to customize your keymap.
From the Userguide:
“You can change a keymap via drag&drop in the keyboard representation: a left-click-drag copies a key, a right-click-drag exchanges the two keys.
When you’re done you can save the result from the menu File | Save… Your modified map will only appear in the user-defined list if it’s stored in ~/config/settings/Keymap/. Otherwise you’ll have to manually load it via File | Open…”
So, drag&drop the working DEL key to the non-working.
OTOH, this might be worth a ticket in the bugtracker. If possible, Teammonitor should check for all DEL keys on the keyboard.

Hey Humdinger,
Well I did remap the keys like you suggested and no luck still the same. It shows that the new keymap is selected in the current list so I know it should have been changed.
I am going to redo my machine from scratch (I don’t if I have or Haiku has mucked up my cdrom mounting) so when I do this I will redo the keymap again and put in a bug ticket if it still doesn’t work/change.
Thanx for the help I do appreciate it.

Hey Trodfoot,
I’m one of the Haiku developers and have recently been working on the Team Monitor. I suspect in your case the problem is simply your Num Lock being on for your keyboard, which means the delete key in the number pad actually comes in as a period.
I just tested and there may be some bugs in the Keymap application related to Num Lock (it doesn’t show the numbers when num lock is on), so I strongly suspect that is what is going on in this case. Also when I turned on num lock the delete key in the number pad did not bring up the Team Monitor, but it did when num lock was off.

Hey Ryan, I tried the num lock idea before I tried to remap the key and it had no affect then for me. Num lock on or off no team monitor… I am just waiting for a new nightly to come out and I will redo my machine. That way all of the changes (read playing around and learning) are not the cause of it not working.
Thanx for the suggestion.
