Hi all,

I just downloaded all 4 pieces of maemo sdk vmware image (ubuntu desktop)
from here: http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/maemo-dev-env-downloads.php

I concatenated them, extract it and started it, so far so good. However,
esbox didn't start properly when I tried to open it. It showed the logo and
progress while opening, but after "loading workbench" message, it only
showed a black (empty) small dialog titled "Esbox", not the eclipse
environment.

Is there any one encountered the same problem? Any suggestion?

Hello, I resolved it:

1. install xulrunner by issuing "sudo apt-get install xulrunner".
2. change Exec=/usr/local/esbox/esbox to Exec=/usr/local/esbox/esbox.sh in
Esbox.desktop

It looks like a known bug related to the xulrunner version. Take a
look at this maemo talk thread [1]: it is well explained there, and a
workaround is suggested to avoid it.
