Update Kivy VirtualBox VM Kivy v1.5.2-dev -> v1.9.0-dev

[Olle]

Hi, I'm trying to update Kivy in the virtual machine distribution.

I believe the current version installed in this VM is v1.5.2-dev, according to this command:
$ python -c "from kivy.app import App"
[INFO   ] Kivy v1.5.2-dev

I want to use the Window.softinput_mode = 'pan' from the kivy.core.window module. According to the documentation, this is what I need to pan the app away when using soft keyboard in Android. This module is not, from what i've read, available in version <1.9.0.

Im having the same error message about _event as this guy:
http://techamad.blogspot.se/2014/07/error-upgrading-to-kivy-180.html

And also this guy:

How can I safely update kivy to v1.9.0-dev?

This is what happens when I try to run make of fresh git clone:

The biggest problem wit the VM is that it is based on Ubuntu 12.10, which is no longer supported by Canonical. This means that the things you need to update to Kivy 1.9 are not available. I have a VM image based on Ubuntu 14.04 which should be easy to upgrade to master if you'd like to try it. https://db.tt/Gq8a5ejJ

Hi Ben,

Can that VM successfully build with Buildozer? If so, could I have a copy?

It is only for building with Buildozer. Just click the link in the original email for a copy.

I  downloaded but my virtualbox will not import the disk image (produces an error - also tried uncompressing).  Are you sure it's working?

It works fine for me with VirtualBox 4.3.10. You just Import it as an appliance. When it's started, you can compile touchtracer:

Open terminal

cd touchtracer

buildozer --verbose android debug 

If anyone needs it, the sudo password is 'kivy'

Make sure that you have virtual box extensions installed.

Thank you for this newer VM, and especially for:

1. using LUbuntu (I'd rather avoid Unity);
2. using the OVA format (can be imported by VMware users; will give error message at first, just click Retry to relax OVF specs).

Do note that the sudo password is "kivy123" (as for the older official VM), and not "kivy" as you said earlier.

(Using VMware WKS with its own vmtools (removed vbox tools), touchtracer test worked great.)
