ok, I downloaded the torrent (and am seeding now), but we should check its worth seeding !

I start-up the guest machine in Oracle VirtualBox and get this error

Title: Networking Problems » Kicking the tires

closing the guest and changing settings, by adding a new Network Adapter on eth0 and the guest starts-up ok and I can login

I should put these in separate tickets, but...

next I try to run sudo apt-get update and I get told the apt list is only partial, try to copy and paste and discover the Virtual Box Guest Additions dont seem to be installed?

after adding the walid.dev to the host file get time-outs when trying to connect to the server from host in a browser

not sure whats going on... will read-up on VirtualBox networking

also checked the /var/aegir/platforms folder and its empty, how did you create those aegir generated test sites ?

/var/aegir/platforms is a standard centralized location for platform code

Regarding Networking:
Ah yeah, the networking issue is an uBuntu Server <-> VirtualBox appliance import issue. You just have to remove /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and reboot. That file stores the MAC address used for the original build but when you import the appliance your adapter receives a different one. 

rm /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
reboot 5

After reboot you can ping to see there's connectivity...

Regarding the APT issues:

Do the following as root:

apt-get clean
rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*
rm /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/*
# if you get an error that the partial/ directory doesn't exist, run the next line to create it.
mkdir /var/lib/apt/lists/partial
# continue
apt-get clean
apt-get update

This is related to the fact that some cache-type files are deleted when prepping the VM for export. I used some code from the export prep script from QuickStart to take the .ova from ~750mb to ~450mb. I'll add this and the network fix code to a README.TXT file I'm building.

Regarding Guest Additions:
Run as root:

apt-get install dkms
shutdown -h now

Make sure the Guest Additions ISO is mounted in the appliance's settings then power the appliance back up. Login, then run as root:

cd /media
mkdir cdrom
mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
cd /media/cdrom
./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

Ignore the “Could not find X.Org or XFree.86 Window System.) It's because this is server and there's no GUI installed.

reboot 5

Keep in mind. This still doesn't allow copy-and-pasting between the VBox and Host. When it comes to a GUI-less server, installing the additions only adds shared folder functionality.

Regarding your AEGIR and seeding question/comment:
See the attached screenshot of the Platforms page of AEGIR.

As for seeding, dont seed it yet. I'm going to remove the link to the torrent because it's quicker to update the mirrors than a torrent and I'm going to update this relatively often until we get a nice stable build...
