in vmware graphic chip is software emulated so you can't get good video performance.

  Are VMWare images shareable and crossplatform?

i am quite sure they are. The virtual hardware seen by the virtual machine is the one who vmware virtualize (which is the same for every platform)

Unfortunetly i thought the virtual machine fits on a dvd... But 13 Gb is too much for sharing

I see in this forum that someone have succesfully installed ubuntu + linux mce on a virtualized machine with vmware.
Sharing that virtual machine could be a good idea, for easily testing the product.
Hope someone make a torrent...

thank you
bye

i tried with the older sources.list and nothing happens, i think the "hack installer" abort before getting the header...

Probably i have to wait the "deb http://linuxmce.com/ubuntu ./" source come back to work...

thanks for your help

i've tried with this source.list:

Code:

# Pluto sources - start
deb file:/usr/pluto/deb-cache/ ./
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy main restricted multiverse universe
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-security main restricted multiverse universe
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-updates main restricted multiverse universe
#deb http://linuxmce.com/ubuntu ./
#deb http://10.0.0.82/ ./
# Pluto sources - end

cause my original source.list was erased by the installer the first time, now i try to restore the "before trying to install linuxmce source.list" with the line "deb file:/usr/pluto/deb-cache/ ./" added to the end.

with the commented line in the the installer mce-installer-core.sh the sources.list remains unaltered

thank you for helping, but i can't perform the installation yet:

1) i typed:

Code:

sudo pico /usr/share/mce-installer/mce-installer.sh

and i have commented line #25
2) i run the installer on the desktop but nothing happen.
typing

Code:

sudo gksu /usr/share/mce-installer/mce-installer.sh

and nothing happen, the /tmp dir doesn't contain any /tmp/selfextract.XXXX

to get the archive i've tried to execute the command in the script in the shell so i typed

Code:

SKIP=`awk '/^__ARCHIVE_FOLLOWS__/ { print NR + 1; exit 0; }' /usr/share/mce-installer/mce-installer.sh`
tail -n +$SKIP /usr/share/mce-installer/mce-installer.sh | tar xz -C /tmp/mce-installer/

and i get the sh installer script in /tmp/mce-installer

after doing the point 4,5,6,7 i run the ./mce-installer
i select my option from the windows but after step five there is an error:

Code:

casatta@casatta-desktop:/tmp/mce-installer$ ./mce-installer

where am i wrong?

i have the same error.
Could you please explain how can you
"ack the installer so it didn't overwrite /etc/apt/sources.list"
ant how to "add the deb-cache directory"
