I have installed ubuntu into virtual box and could do with some help

below is the output from my terminal session when I try to install scratchbox

root@n900-dev:~# sudo ./maemo-scratchbox-install_5.0.sh -u xxxxxx
This script will install Scratchbox 1.0.16 'apophis' release to your computer.

Checking for prerequisites
--------------------------

Running as user root... yes
Not running as user root inside fakeroot... yes
Running outside of scratchbox... yes
Scratchbox installation existing... no
Running on Linux kernel... yes
Running on i386 architecture... yes
Host kernel binfmt_misc support... yes
Host kernel VDSO support... no
E: Host kernel VDSO support is incompatible with scratchbox.
E: You can disable VDSO support for this session with
E: 'echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/vdso_enabled' as root
E: For a permanent solution you may add 'vm.vdso_enabled = 0'
E: to /etc/sysctl.conf and run 'sysctl -p' as root
root@n900-dev:~#


Not sure what option I need to choose???

Ok, you probably want the permanent solution; because this will be a issue each time you start your VM. But to install it you can do the
then edit the /etc/sysctl.com and add that line.

Then you should be able to continue with your install.

Ooookay, this is my outing. I'm a stupid Windows User.

I downloaded the VM Image, Ubuntu is running. Network is present.
When I open the Installation Folder on the Desktop and Doubleclick "Step 1. Install Scratchbox" - the Terminal opens and after a short while it closes itself and nothing happend.

I tryed to run the Script manual in a Terminal. But when I enter "bash -c '~/Maemo_Install/Scripts/Install/Install_Scratchbox'" the Error "Permission denied" appears.

So this was my outing. What should I do?

the script probably has the executable flag missing.

try issuing this command, and then retry:

Thanks a lot!

It was also a hard try to install the Nokia Binaries, but now Maemo is running. I should order a Book "LINUX for Beginners"

Is this latest/up to date? I'm starting to learn python, and I want to start messing around for real now! lol

The installation still requires this, not sure if you released a new version or not.

I am too interested in installing Maemo 5 on virtual Machine on my windows 7! Is there any chance of directly install maemo5 without having to install ubuntu ?

Hi,

Please help me.

I downloaded the vm and fixed the permissions as nathan advised.

I have tried 4 times now and keep getting this error:

toolchain cs2005q3.2-glibc-arm hash sum mismatch

How can I fix this? Is there anyway I can resume the download from where it stopped? I dont want to download everything again. Some of the packages like docs are huge.

EDIT: Solved: I downloaded and installed manually.

As per http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/...l_Installation

Thanks.

Please add -o Acquire::http::Pipeline-Depth=0 to the nokia binaries script.

I was getting numerous connection reset by peer error specifically on the nokia script and the bug above solved the problem with apt.
