Hello list,
I wanted to work on SailfishOS applications, so I installed the "SailfishOS
Application SDK" on my linux desktop.
Everything went fine, but when I wanted to start "Sailfish OS Build Engine" or
"Sailfish OS Emulator" from within Qt Creator, the "General Messages"-Tab of Qt
Creator tells me:
* Error connecting to "Sailfish OS Build Engine" virtual machine: Failed to
start virtual machine "Sailfish OS Build Engine"
* Error connecting to "Sailfish OS Emulator" virtual machine: Failed to start
virtual machine "Sailfish OS Emulator"
In file "~/.xsession-errors" I can read:
* MerConnection: "Failed to start virtual machine \"Sailfish OS Build Engine\""
* MerConnection: "Failed to start virtual machine \"Sailfish OS Emulator\""
But nothing more about the Application SDK.
The virtual machines seem to start up:
VirtualBox is telling me that they are running.
The emulator is showing me a SailfishOS GUI, which I can use by swiping like my
Jolla device. And to the Build Engine I can connect via ssh using:
> ssh -i /opt/sailfishos-sdk/vmshare/ssh/private_keys/engine/root -p 2222 root at localhost
Do you have any ideas, what might be the problem? Or which log-files to check?
Versions in use:
* SDK: SailfishOSSDK-Beta-1709-Qt5-linux-64-offline.run
* Debian Linux 8 Jessie
* VirtualBox 4.3.36
Regards,
Peter
