[SailfishDevel] SailfishOS SDK April update available tomorrow. [update:all installers and repositories are online]

Wed Apr 16 20:01:57 UTC 2014

I don't know if this is related to just kubuntu or just a VMissue since the 
sailfishemulator does not work. I just get the kernel message but sailfishUI 
does not start. More exactly lipstick does not start. I can login via ssh and 
try start lipstick but only get:

[C] unknown:0 - Failed to create display (Connection refused)

also Vbox eating cpu since fan goes wild.
