Hi, I'm the one who made this virtual appliance

If you have any questions or suggestions about it, please post a comment

Interesting app. Nice work

Hey all,

This may be a stupid question but I've been playing around and I can't seem to add packages (need a password - 'nuke' doesn't work), can't add user accounts etc (need to run as root). Anyone know where to get the passwords ?

So, I found a reference that indicates the problem is with "Breezy" and libraries that were available when it was built. However, I went out and downloaded Eclipse 3.1, and running that resolves my problem. Unfortunately I couldn't uninstall or upgrade the existing Eclipse, so I have two versions on this VM. I suspect I just have to learn more about package management on Ubuntu Linux.

The file being server by the torrent is corrupt, I think. I've downloaded it with two different machines using two different torrent clients - both came back "unrecognized compression."

Any ideas?

Also, does this have the latest versions of Gnome, GTK, et cetera?

camroe> user: nuke, pass: nuke should be okay to add users and do admin things like adding package as it have sudo rights. But if you need to get root, just use the user: root (enter "su" in a terminal) with the pass: root

mcjunk> the eclipse version installed should already be the 3.1 version. But maybe i just dropped the help files to shrink some more the distro, but i don't remember to have done that. You can always uninstall the existing version before reinstalling eclipse, so you won't have the 2 versions on the VM. I'll dig this problem, thanks for your reporting.

langonej> use 7-Zip as indicated on the main page of the appliance to extract the VM from the archive. The Gnome & GTK version were the latest available from the official updates at the moment of the VM was uploaded.

lelfe> this VM was build originally on a french install, so it shouldn't be a problem to put the keyboard in an azerty layout enter "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
then if it doesn't work enter "setxkbmap -layout fr-latin9".

and if after that it still doesn't work, enter "sudo nedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf"

then modify the section "inputDevice" to match this one:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "fr-latin9"
EndSection

maybe i'll add a script in a later release to make this easier
