Hi David

After that, Active and Running: So much better than Error and Dead!

Thanks for your help, good look on the next SDK release ...

In that case, ssh in as root and paste this:

ln -sf ../vboxservice.service /lib/systemd/system/basic.target.wants/
cat <<EOF >/lib/systemd/system/vboxservice.service
[Unit]
Description=VBoxService daemon for various aspects of guest control

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/VBoxService -f

[Install]
WantedBy=basic.target
EOF

restarting the VM should bring it up

You can do this on the SDK and emulator.

Hi David

I hope you explicitly included the "get another beer" as a precondition in your
new test 8-)

On the timer service, sounds like ...opps!

On the SDK with user root:

-bash-3.2$ cd /lib/systemd/system/basic.target.wants/
-bash-3.2$ ls -ahl

Good to hear from you again.
:)  busy on the next SDK version ...

My main Sailfish development host is a MacBookAir, mainly because it lets me do stuff like program while sitting on my terrace soaking in the sun (very rare this year) with a beer next to me (the current use case), or hack on the train
to work (tomorrow morning's use case).

This means that a typical workflow for me is:
1) Program / test it bit ..
2) Close the MBA lid while everything is stil running (SDK, Emulator et al)
3) do something else like changing trains / getting another beer
4) open the MBA lid, continue programming

I have kind of got used to the fact that after point 4), that while the SDK and
Emulator are still running, QtCreator begs to differ.

Good test - I just added it to our suite.

Either QtCreator thinks both are not running, or I get the timing issues
reported below (SDK in the future), so I have got used to killing / restarting
both as a matter of course.

It had occurred to me that maybe some kind of service to sync the time of the Emulator / SDK with the development host would be the answer, but haven't yet
had time to explore further.

It should be there on both emulator and sdk

As root check /lib/systemd/system/vboxservice.service

Should look like:
[Unit]
Description=VBoxService daemon for various aspects of guest control

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/VBoxService -f

[Install]
WantedBy=basic.target


also ls -laF /lib/systemd/system/basic.target.wants/vboxservice.service which
should be a symbolic link to ../vboxservice.service

If not then that's an "oops I wrote it but it didn't get into the images"

David

I have just tried the command from your mail. On both the Emulator and the SDK I
get the following.

-bash-3.2$ systemctl status vboxservice.service
vboxservice.service
      Loaded: error (Reason: No such file or directory)
      Active: inactive (dead)

Maybe I am jumping to conclusions, but "error" and "dead" don't sound that
healthy!

Hello everyone, I am new to the Sailfish SDK. I used to develop in Qt before, but the way how Qt and the Sailfish SDK cooperate is new to me. So far I have
found some issues in this kind of cooperation.

Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback

1. I noticed that when I just installed the SDK, in the Qt creator, if I click on the Mer platform start button or the emulator start button, nothing happened. After I restarted the computer, they worked. This does not bother me now, but eventually one may need to restart after installation, which I did
not
see in the installation document.

This is not supposed to happen. What host platform are you using?

2.       Sometimes when I click the emulator start button, the emulator
starts,
but the button is still green, and when deploying, I am told that the emulator is not started. Then I need to shut down the emulator and restart it again,
until the button is red.

We've seen this issue and will handle the VM management better.

3. This may not be a bug, but some configuration issue that I don’t
know.
I get very often the warning that the Makefile is modified in some seconds in the future. I read some articles in the internet, and it appears that the
clock
of the target computer (which is the Mer platform I presume) is not
synchronized
with the source computer (the hosting computer). If this is not a bug, could
someone please tell me how I can sync the clock?

There should be a service running to synchronise time : /usr/bin/VBoxService
Running this command as root in the SDK will tell you the status
  systemctl status vboxservice.service


4. In the Qt creator, all the standard Qt library headers are not found! Hence the auto-completion does not work. I need to go to help to check the
function etc. then I go back to the code. I presume that this may be
because of
the Mer platform SDK, that the app is built there and hence the headers are
not
available in the hosting computer. Could someone please tell me if there is a workaround to make Qt creator find the headers, so that the auto-completion
would work?

Auto completion should work - the header files in the SDK are shared with the host using the 'targets' shared folder. We're improving testing in this area
too.
