Can anyone get recent Pharo9 builds to work on Linux?
If anyone can get recent (within the last week or so) 64-bit Pharo9
images to work on Linux, please let me know how you did that! I've tried
everything I can think of and no luck.
For the purposes of this query, "working'' means that you can open a
playground, type into the it, then backspace over what you've typed.
If you can do that on Linux, this information would be much appreciated:
- What build are you running?
- What VM are you running and where did you get it?
- How do you launch it? If from the command-line, what arguments?
Thanks,
-Martin
Hi Martin,
I just did :
wget -O- get.pharo.org/64/90+vmHeadlessLatest | bash
./pharo-ui Pharo.image
And I had no problem at all (except a libgit2 version that will be fixed soon).
I am using a Manjaro, but I do not see why it should not work on others.

I can confirm text input is severely broken backspace/del (tried on Linux
buster, but it seems to be an image problem) -- control characters
themselves get inserted into text pane.
Type a string into a pane, ex. '123456789', position cursor somewhere in
the middle, press del/backspace/ left&right arrows. If you inspect the
string you'll see control characters inside (evident at 'Items' tab)

hi,
I still have no problem with any of that.
So you will have to be more specific : which image version, which VM version, which linux version.

Thanks, Esteban
That method does get me a working Pharo, which I was having trouble with
before (though I thought I'd tried exactly that...).
However, it also somehow disables the compositor on my entire display,
making it very hard to see where one (non-Pharo) window ends and another
begins.
Compositing comes back when I quit Pharo. The old VM doesn't exhibit
this odd side-effect.
Thanks,

Yes, downloading fresh vm+pharo works (I was thinking I have a recent VM
too -- sorry for adding to the confusion). The with issues is this one:

If you use ZeroConf (get.pharo.org) scripts be aware that
https://get.pharo.org/64/90+vm
https://get.pharo.org/64/90+vmLatest
will lead to the trouble with the keyboard on Linux in Playground
and other side effects.
So you have to use
https://get.pharo.org/64/vmHeadlessLatest90 (VM only)
or https://get.pharo.org/64/90+vmHeadlessLatest (VM+image)
which uses latest headless VM with 90 image and this is the one working

I figured out the compositing problem with the headless VMs on Linux.
SDL, by default, requests that the window manager disable compositing.
This behavior can be overridden starting with SDL 2.0.8. For more
information, see https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/issues/8220.
For anyone else seeing this problem in KDE, there is a workaround.
System Settings / Display and Monitor / Compositor contains an item
"Allow applications to block compositing." This is on by default. When
turned off, Pharo works better.
