[SailfishDevel] sporadic bouts of "Could not connect to MerSDK Virtual Machine. Timeout waiting for reply from server."

[Christopher Lamb]

Hi Juha

I have edited my /etc/hosts to look like this:

127.0.0.1       localhost SailfishSDK
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1             localhost
fe80::1%lo0     localhost

Now in the office, with WIFI turned off, and no ethernet plugged in, I 
can deploy as RPM successfully! So for the moment it looks like editing 
the /etc/hosts may be enough.

Later this evening on train on the way home I will try with WiFi 
activated but no proper connection (which means it will probably default 
to the SBB/Swisscom WiFi which requires a logon to properly connect).

Thanks

Chris
