setting linux memory access
I need help setting up sheepshaver for linux. I Have Lubuntu 13.04 installed on a bootable usb flash drive. When I following the instructions for setting the memory access, I don't know where to add the line. Wherever I tried it, sheepshaver still dont work after clicking the execute tab.

Are you using the GUI or editing the prefs file by hand?

Hi,
I assume you need to know where to add the line "vm.mmap_min_addr = 0" ?
It should go into the file /etc/sysctl.conf. As root, edit that file with the text editor available in Lubuntu.
Open Xterm and use "gksu leafpad /etc/sysctl.conf" to edit the file. Add the required entry at the bottom of the file and save it.
Even after that addition, you might still need to run SheepShaver as root. You should check whether Lubuntu uses Apparmour. If so, you would need to disable that too if you want to run SheepShaver under a normal user account (as far as I know).
Are you running a 32 bit version of Lubuntu? The SheepShaver download from our forum (sheepshaver_44_sdl) is built for 64 bit environments.
Best,
