What problem are you having exactly? Maybe I'm not understanding your problem.

Nathan.

Network is working properly and Giplet shows my Ip address, although I had to change it from the properties to show eth1 instead of eth0.

Edit: I run the script on terminal and fount out the reason:

Install_Scratchboxz line8 is giving Permission denied.

I chmodded Install_Scratchbox_Main and it works now.

How do I do this, this seems to be the issue I'm having.

That means the scripts don't have permissions allowing them to execute.
When he says he is chmodding, he is changing those permissions.

For simplicity, you could write this on the command line (when you are in the same directory as the script);

chmod 777 <scriptname>

(without the brackets)

Hrm, still no dice
I opened terminal, browsed to the Install Directory
and chmodded scratchbox main

then went to install and ran step 1, it hangs at updating scripts then closes.

Do you have an internet connection inside the VM? Can you access the internet if you open firefox? You should also see an IP-adress in the top of the Ubuntu desktop.

Well google is always a good place to start..

What if you type and run

Code:

svn --force -q update ~/Maemo_Install

in the terminal?

That's what Nathans script exectues after printing "Updating scripts..."
Could be there it breaks, could be in subsequent steps...

EDIT: If you continue having problems, I would -- if I were you -- follow the official installation instructions for installing the SDK, found here:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/...d_distribution

They are step-by step and pretty clear even if you are not used to Linux. More manual typing involved, but it works. I followed those.

Thanks nymajoak for the help!

Yes open a terminal and do the following:

Code:

svn --force update ~/Maemo_Install
sudo chown -R maemo:maemo ~/Maemo_Install
chmod -R 777 ~/Maemo_Install

Then try running the first step. That should solve the issues. I need to put another VM Image out; it appears that I forgot to chmod one of the silly scripts before I released it. I thought the updated step 1 script would fix it; but apparently it isn't. Sorry for the confusion...

Nathan.
