Nathan.
No I don't which is why I don't understand this error at all.

I have to say I'm a bit confused -- you might try opening app manager and seeing what repositories it thinks are configured and verify none of them have https.

I keep getting
"Checking Network Connection...
A Network connection is required
Press any key to continue"
when I try an execute Install Scratchbox.

Any help to resolve this will be highly appreciated. Thanks!

A couple things I can think of.

1. If you open firefox in the VM, do you have a network connection.
2. try "ping www.google.com" from the terminal.

My rest of the network is working absolutely fine, only the script is not able to access it. ;(

My Bad, it seems that the terminal in VM is not able to access network connection although it is working fine for rest of the stuff. I am currently posting reply from my firefox on the VM.

I had to kill the ping command in terminal to get a response
maemo@maemo-desktop:~$ ping www.google.com
PING www.l.google.com (209.85.231.147) 56(84) bytes of data.
^C
--- www.l.google.com ping statistics ---
137 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 185925ms


Is there anything I can do to resolve this?

please show us the output of these two commands:
Code:
cat /etc/resolv.conf
ifconfig
they tell us a little bit about your network.
maybe you have some sort of proxy in place which redirects http traffic automatically...

Yes, I guess my scripts must be "too" smart. Something on your network is blocking pings so the "CheckNetwork" function is failing.

To "work" around this, the easist method would be to edit the "VM_Function.sh" file in "~/Maemo/Scripts/Install"
Add a new "return" to the first line of the "CheckNetwork() function.

This way it basically returns back out of that routine every time any of the scripts ask for it.

isn't the CheckNetwork function called before scratchbox is installed? i thought this error comes when attempting to install scratchbox, so it's unlikely he even has a /scratchbox folder at this point.

LOL, you are correct. Not sure where my brain is... ;-)

Hmm, the only reason CheckNetwork would fail is if the VM can't connect to the repository for some reason. CheckNetwork does a ping request against the repository to make sure you have both a active network and that the repository is actually up.

I updated my prior response with a better one. ;-)
