This is a short tutorial how to test Nemo in a VirtualBox machine.

Requirements:

  • qemu-img (mostly part of the qemu package)

Steps:

  • Download the i586 VM image release from Releases (nemo-handset-i586-vm-***.img)
  • Convert the image to a usable hdd volume: 
 qemu-img convert nemo-handset-i586-vm-0.20120614.1.NEMO.2012-07-02.1.img -O vmdk nemo.vmdk
  • Create a new machine of type Linux/other and choose nemo.vmdk as existing hdd volume.
  • Optional: Setup a network device in NAT mode
  • Under Settings->System->Processor, enable Extended Features: Enable PAE/NX
  • With current version 2012-01-05, you have to create a second hdd volume with at least 3 GB space and install Nemo on it.
  • Start the machine and enjoy Nemo

Current problems:

  • When booting Nemo directly from the Nemo image, X startup fails. Please do a installation on a new hdd volume first.
  • No mouse cursor, you have to guess where it is. ;)
