Updated VirtualBox image for Rockbox development on Windows

robertdundee:
Thank you. Problem solved. Reinstalled Virtualbox and drag+drop the disk image

This is an old, and more importantly, _unsupported_ version of Ubuntu.

I was able to get it to work as advertised, but only after _upgrading_ this guest image to Ubuntu 12.04.

Ubuntu would like to further upgrade me to 14.04.1, which I may try, although 12.04 is working fine right now.

Can someone please post a more recent virtualbox guest image at the URL above, so that everyone doesn't have to do the same Ubuntu upgrade (which takes a number of hours) ?

I'd post it myself, but I don't have 2GB online to do it with.

saratoga:
I wouldn't upgrade the image. If you want to run a modern image you can easily download one for a fraction of the effort and then just install the compilers.  The point of this image was to help people who wanted to compile easily.

It does what it says on the tin. It literally does not matter in the slightest how old or unsupported it is. You're not meant to be using it as a full OS. Its a VM snapshot specifically for compiling Rockbox, which it does.

...if it ain't broke, etc.

Well, actually, it no longer works anymore, because there's no way to get data in/out of the virtual image w/o going over the Ethernet.

I had to upgrade the Linux just to be able to get data in/out.

This image no longer works with recent versions of VirtualBox & guest additions unless it is upgraded.
