Hi Guys,<br><br>I've been quietly following the OLPC for a few months now and would like to run the current build in a virtual environment to work out if I could do anything to help.<br><br>My big question is ....<br><br>Is it supposed to be possible to run the Qemu images pretty much anywhere, or is the actual laptop hardware required?
<br><br>Currently I'm trying to run the Qemu images on my desktop (Running Suse 10.1). When I load the images (Both the Developer and the normal one) I get strange issues... For the normal image - it boots and I select the "OLPC Simulator" from the grub menu as per the instructions but then it shows a X windows with my cursor, then it returns to run level 3. After about 10 seconds it switches back to X with only my cursor showing and then switches back to run level 3 again. I've left this for about an hour with no change :(
<br><br>With the Developer image, it boots and I select the "OLPC Simulator" and it loads into the X environment however all it shows is a green web browser that I can surf the net with. Nothing else is shown and I can't even close the web browser down.
<br><br>To use the Qemu images supplied on the Wiki, does one require the actual hardware? Or is it my setup in some way? Should I be using Fedora Core 5 instead of Suse for my desktop?<br><br>The version of Qemu included in Suse
10.1 is 0.8.0, but I have tried downloading the latest version (0.8.2) and the result is the same :(<br><br>Am I doing something stupidly obvious?<br><br>Thanks!<br><br>
