VMWare console problems
« on: November 04, 2006, 09:59:59 PM »
I decided to set up my development environment in vmware with the Rockbox debian image to learn to compile my own builds, but I'm having difficulties.
I was able to download the CVS, following the vmware guide on the wiki (here: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/VMwareDevelopmentPlatform).  But when I try to open the console to compile, I get an error saying 'couldn't open console' with no more information.
Does anyone have any suggestions?  I'm new to Linux, and need someone to point me in the right direction.

This appears to be a problem in Debian itself.  I am unable to open the console to even begin compiling.  Could it be I have a bad copy of Debian?  I suppose I'll try unzipping the Rockbox Debian image again, and start from scratch.   :-\

As a workaround you can try to work in the text console. To switch there press Ctrl-Alt-F1.
