[Live-demo] Re: [About python issue] Does your application work on the click2try GISVM?

Hello Arun,

I just tested the VM linked from the public announcement.

It looks as if you have restricted the use of the terminal?  That  
essentially breaks the Mapnik demo because it launches in a terminal  
window to show the server process. I also cannot open a terminal on  
the VM now to be able to debug...

If I click the icon "Start Mapnik & TileLite" I get:

"Failed to Execute default Terminal Emulator: Input/Output Error"


Also, double-clicking the uDIG icon does nothing.
