Installing GeexBox on vmware

[c00lerMember]

Hi there,

I’m trying to install GB on a vmware machine but can’t install it on hard drive, it told me can’t open framebuffer, file not found ?

Thanks in advance for replies

Hi again,

The edit function didn’t work for me so sorry for double posts.

I Tried with VirtualBox and it works.

not tested on vmware, we use (at least me) virtualbox.

Copy in the same folder files from the following rar:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/56565783/geexbox.rar

and the geexbox-3.0-i386.iso downloaded here, and use your vmware machine !!!

B.R.

Now I understood your question, and you are right.

I send you the use of  live CD with those files, but when you try to install onto Hard Disk there’s no peripherial available.

However I can say that I received the message

“can’t open framebuffer, file not found”

also performing an installation on a real PC, but in that case the installation was successful ( A peripherial is available in that case ).

Replace the SCSI default disk with an IDE disk, it works …
