    I have just downloaded the VMware Image and imported it to my ESX server. I can log in as the Pandora user but not root…and I can not see my local nic. I am not a big debian user so not sure what I can do to get this guy all up and running any help would be great!

    To become root:
    sudo -s

    To be able to see your local nic:

    rm /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules (after deleting this file you have to reboot your pandora image)

    Could the Admins Please sticky this topic, since alot of people are going to ask very basic questiosn lie this?

    to enable the nic for a one time after a boot, you can become root and simply run dhclient. in the output of dhclient it will also tell you what

    to permanently setup your network interface edit the file /etc/network/interface
    you can use this portion to setup the interface as static, when the vm image is copied over the ethernet often becoems eth1 and not eth0

    to always use a dynamic IP add the lines

    auto eht1
    iface eth1 inet dhcp

    if you want to assign it a static ip

    auto eth1
    iface eth1 inet static
    address 192.168.1.100
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 192.168.128.254

    the old su command does not work in this image, you must use as he mentioend abuove sudo -s and the password is still pandora

    also if your having a hard time typing the – key and have a standard us layout its actually the / key.

    My question would be how do I change the keyboard layout to US? the only information i can find on this would be to do it in x windows but I can’t find the info on how to set it up from the console.

    To answer my own question

    sudo -s to become root

    run
    dpkg-reconfigure console-setup

    chose Generic 101-key PC
    next screen choose USA
    next screen choose USA again

    for the next few screens just keep clicking OK, once its done you will be able to use the standard us layout, unfortunately I am unable to read Spanish.
    When its finished it will change the keymap, it will not change the language for all the OS menu’s but at least you will be able to get done what you need.
