[Sugar-devel] SoaS appliance in VirtualBox

[Luke Faraone]

Hi,

Todd Baker (who isn't currently subscribed) recently emailed
help at laptop.orgwith some issues he had with using the SoaS VirtualBox
appliances. I'm also
having the same issue as he is, and am unable to come up with a solution.

Any ideas?

OK, here's where I'm at with getting the VirtualBox Sugar VM going. I've
followed the steps on the Wiki at Suraglabs.org but when I create the VM and
attach the drive image (vmdk) and boot I get past Grub but just see a cursor
"_" in the upper left hand corner and OS fails to load, never reaching Sugar
desktop environment. If I remember correctly, there is also info on the Wiki
on setting up a virtual machine using the Live CD and I could try this, but
I would like to make sure our Vbox image / instructions work. Hopefully this
is something specific to my machine or an error on my part.

I've attached the VirtualBox XML config file and log file. I'm using
VirtualBox v2.1.4 (non-free) on Kubuntu 8.04 with Kernel 2.6.24-23-generic.
My other VM's are running fine.

On a side note, I did manage to get sugar-emulator installed from Ubuntu
repositories but it didn't pull all dependencies and I had to install
python-gst package to get it going....
