[SailfishDevel] 1310-Alpha installer issue

[Gabriel Garcia]

Hi,

I thought I'd let you know about a small issue I had while installing the latest SDK - basically it threw an error while trying to execute this:

VBoxManage modifyvm "SailfishOS Emulator" --ostype Linux26 --memory 1024 --vram 128 --ioapic on --pae on --audio pulse --audiocontroller ac97 --nic1 nat --nictype1 virtio --natpf1 guestssh,tcp,127.0.0.1,2223,,22 --nic2 intnet --intnet2 sailfishsdk --nictype2 virtio --macaddress2 08005a110001 --bioslogodisplaytime 1

VirtualBox didn't accept "--audio pulse", because I don't use PulseAudio :-) Perhaps it's worth checking whether you have alsa, pulse or none and adjusting that command accordingly? Naturally, I ran it manually and told the installer to ignore. Alternatively, a prerequisite to have PulseAudio in the documentation would work as well, but it would be a shame as it is a bit heavy to install/use/etc.. I am, however, unsure as to whether Sailfish requires PulseAudio or can work with anything. For reference, I use Gentoo.

So far, so good, except that for some reason QtCreator can't connect with the VM's - I'll play a bit more and jump on IRC if I can't get it to run.

Thanks!
