notebook() failure under VMware Player

[jvoight]

Can't get notebook() to run on my Windows XP machine under VMware Player. I downloaded SAGE and VMware Player; at the sage prompt did an upgrade() (to 2.8.4.2, everything seemed to go swimmingly); then tried notebook() and it hangs at:

Generating SSL certificate for server... Using certtool to generate key certtool --generate-privkey --outfile /home/sage/.sage/dsage/cacert.pem Generating a private key... Generating a 1024 bit RSA private key...

When I Ctrl-C twice, it streams by and the only part of the scrollback I can read is:

record = _fixed_getinnerframes(etb, context,self.tb_offset)

raise KeyboardInterrupt?

KeyboardInterrupt?

Unfortunately, your original traceback can not be constructed.

Start the SAGE console and type

  sage: notebook.setup()
