Sandbox video Introducing Apache Video not working

I’m trying to watch “Introducing Apache Video” on sandbox but it is getting disconnected in 1 or 2 minutes. I was not able to watch the complete video. Does anyone have the same issue?

Hi Mike,

Thanks for providing these instructions, just one minor correction – the Sandbox is a CentOS vm not an Ubuntu VM.

UPDATED: Transferring sandbox-tutorial videos to Mac OS X from Ubuntu virtual box

1. Find the ip address of the mac using ifconfig command on the terminal
dyn172-30-52-182:Documents maro$ ifconfig
use address for interface (en0): will show the ip address (inet x.x.x.x) of the mac (e.g. 192.168.0.102)

2. login to the virtual box and change directory
cd /home/sandbox/sandbox-tutorials/local

There are files with .mp4 extension

3. Enable remote login on mac
Go to “System Preferences” –> “Sharing” and make sure the checkbox next to “Remote login” is marked.

4. on the command line, type
root@sandbox#: scp -r *mp4 your-username-on-mac@your-ip-address-on-mac-as-explained-earlier:/output-directory-on-mac
e.g. scp -r *mp4 haro@192.1680.102:/Users/haro/Documents/

5. Enter password for the username (in this example, the password for user ‘haro’)

6. Disable Remote login

Hi Vaidya and Armondo,

Thanks for the information but whether this will work or not depends on the version of the sandbox, it will work in the latest version. This latest version had the word “bombardier” in the name of the download. If you downloaded a version previous to this then the videos are hosted on a YouTube channel and method Number one is all that will work.

Thanks for using the Sandbox,
Ted.

another alternative is to copy the files out from the sandbox VM using scp.

login as root, go to /home/sanbox/sandbox-tutorials/locals/
In that directory you will find all the videos, you can do scp to another machine you have acces to, something like
scp -r *mp4 username@machine:/target/outputdir

Hi

I had the same problem. Solved it by copying the vidoes to my windows Host machine from the sandbox. This is how I did it.

Note : I use Virtualbox typically at home. So I downloaded the virtualbox vm image. This process is tested and works for VIrtualBox. I think it shoud be very similar VMPlayer version also. Definitely the centos commands/processes are common to both.

a) Ensure that the first network card in the VM settings is setup as bridged to your host nettwork adapter. I tried it with NAT but did not work as the ip address for host network card and the virtual card inside the VM is different.

b) Start your Hortonworks VirtualMachine

c) Once it boots, on the console window press ALT+F2. Login in using root in the login prompt. Password is hadoop.

d) Change the password for the user sandbox (as I could not find the default password anywhere). if you know the password this step can be skipped.
passwd sandbox
New Password :
Re-type New Password:

e) at # prompt, type ifconfig. There should be 3 network cards listed, eth0, eth1, lo.
– eth0 –>bridged network adapter with your host network. the ip address should be in the same subnet as your host windows machine. On windows host, type cmd, ipconfig to find the IP address. On the hortonworks vm, eth0 should have same set of numbers for the first 3 groups. xxx.xxx.xxx (should be same)
– eth1 –> host-only adapter with the address that you type on browser (eg. 192.168.56.101)
– lo –> Local Loopback 127.0.0.1

f) once you verified the ip address, you have to install vsftpd to allow ftp from host to your vm. The process is described in detail in the following URL. This has instructions to install vsftpd and ftp packages You don’t need to create additional user id or turn off SELINUX. SELINUX turned off by defualt in Hortonworks VM image.

http://ostechnix.wordpress.com/2013/01/28/setup-ftp-server-step-by-step-in-centos-6-x-rhel-6-x-scientific-linux-6-x/

f) on your host machine (windows in my case) . get to command prompt
cd some_directory (directory where you want the videos to be copied). In my case C:\Users\user_name\Videos\hadoop

g) type ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address you found out for eth0 in step E. Remember, don’t use FTP 192.168.56.101 (or the ip assigned to your hostonly eth1 adapter). This does not work due to firewall on either sides.

h) on FTP > prompt, type the following
user sandbox
enter password

ftp> cd /home/sandbox/sandbox-tutorials/local
ftp> binary
ftp> mget *.mp4
ftp> bye

i) launch the vidoes on your host computer using your favorite media player.

Enjoy!

Hi Shiva,

A trick that has solved this bit for others is to grab the link for the video that you are trying to watch from the sandbox, then enter this link directly in your browser and thus bypass a possibly slow/shaky network route that goes through the sandbox. If you need help on exactly how to do this, or I haven’t made myself clear, let me know.

Thanks,
Sasha.

Hi Shiva

Are you referring to the “Apache Pig (running time: about 12 minutes)” link at the beginning of teh second tutorial?

Hi Cheryle,

I am using VirtualBox 4.2.10 for Windows hosts x86/amd64 on windows 8 operating system.

Thanks,
Shiva.

[Cheryle CusterKey Master]

Thanks Shiva. Sorry, one more question: which virtualization platform are you using? VMware or VirtualBox? And is it on Windows or Mac?

[Shiva BonalaMember]

Hi Cheryle,

Please see my answers below:

What version of Sandbox are you using? Sandbox+HDP+Bombardier2+(14.03)
What browser are you using? Google Chrome Version 25.0.1364.172 m
Did you download the Sandbox prior to March 15? No, I downloaded it on March 22.

I don’t have any issues watching other videos.

Thanks for your help,
Shiva.
