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

[Christopher Lamb]

Hi Juha

I am now on the train. Deployment also works with WiFi active, but not 
properly connected.

This means that - at least in my case - adding SailfishSDK to the 
/etc/hosts is a good fix for this error.

I think this is one for the Known Issues page.

I guess that (without the entry in /etc/hosts) active networking is 
required for "SailfishSDK" to be resolved. Of course I could SSH in, 
because I was using localhost as the machine name to connect (ssh -p 
2222 -i ~/SailfishOS/vmshare/ssh/private_keys/engine/root root at localhost).

Thanks for your help and forebearance,

Chris
