problem installing ICA-AtoM virtual appliance

[wenkeadam]

I followed the instructions at http://ica-atom.org/docs/index.php?title=ICA-AtoM_virtual_appliance,
and the Sun Virtual Box installed correctly.

But when I unzipped the ica-atom.vmserver-r8856.tgz file I found the
following files inside the ubuntu-vmserver folder:
ica-atom-r8856.vmx and tmppxUih6.vmdk

But in the instructions it says the files should be ubuntu.vmx and
disk0.vmdk

Anyway, I tried to configure the new machine with tmppxUih6.vmdk, but
the process failed during bootup, saying there was a fatal error.

Am I using the wrong tgz file?

I fixed that, thank you.

That is weird. I have just tried in in VirtualBox 4.0.4 and it works perfectly. Have you verified the MD5 hash? Maybe, there was a problem during the transfer and the file is broken. The hash is 807b6aad3ffc04d2d03ff73fb20c61e7. You can try to download the virtual appliance again or compare its hashes with md5sum tool to check that your download is correct.

Hi,
I think I have a similar problem.
I downolwded ica-atom.vmserver-r8856.tgz and I verified the hash. The
2 files are ica-atom-r8856.vmx and tmppxUih6.vmdk.
I configure the new machine (in VirtualBox 4.0.4) with tmppxUih6.vmdk,
but the bootup never ends.
I waited 40 minutes and the write "Starting up ..." never changes.
I tried the same in 2 pc: one with WinXP, one with WinVista.

Suggestions?
Thank in advanced.

Hello everyone,

I've also stumbled over the same hurdle trying to install the virtual
appliance on Windows 7. The virtual machine stalls with 'starting
up...' and does not provide any indication of what the problem might
be.

Any suggestions?

Thank you,

Rob

It seems that rolling back to an earlier version of Virtual Box does the trick (3.2 in this case).  No idea why it wouldn't work with 4.0.4.

Thank you for your report. I've filed a new issue (1975).
