Re: [Pharo-dev] Super fast delay

I downloaded a Pharo-4 image today and executed: time pharo --nodisplay --headless ./Pharo-40490.image eval "(Delay forSeconds: 5) wait" a Delay(5000 msecs) real 0m1.254s user 0m1.192s sys 0m0.060s So the first delay doesn't appear to wait the five seconds. I would like to work on kqueue/epoll and remove polling and it looks this involves code with Delay as well. I wonder if you could provide an overview of what needs to be done and what is done? thanks holger

Thanks for the help, Well, after sleeping over it, I too figured that it was the --no-quit that you were looking for. Still, the --headless is not needed with the plain pharo command ;-) BTW, having your server running in an image is not what I would recommend. I would always use an .st start up script.

Re: [Pharo-dev] Running Pharo on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS 64-bit

Thanks for the pointer to the ZeroConf. This is my first time using that. I'm used to the usual Ubuntu installation which provides a pharo-vm-x (GUI) and pharo-vm-nox (headless). The command line functionality is cool, but that's not what I want. By playing around, I figured out how to get --no-quit to work. I was trying ./pharo --headless --no-quit ./Pharo.image & and I needed ./pharo --headless ./Pharo.image --no-quit & I guess that makes sense knowing that --no-quit is actually to be processed by the script and not a flag for the VM.

Re: [Pharo-dev] Running Pharo on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS 64-bit

I understand unix quite well. All the ./pharo does is redirect to the vm with the --nodisplay flag. When I try it without the "eval "ZnClient new get: 'https://google.com'"" part, I get the following in the terminal: Usage: [--no-preferences|--preference-file=<FILE>][<subcommand>] [--help] [--copyright] [--version] [--list] [ --no-quit ] --help print this help message --copyright print the copyrights --version print the version for the image and the vm --list list a description of all active command line handlers --no-quit keep the image running without activating any other command line handler <subcommand> a valid subcommand in --list Preference File Modification: --preference-file load the preferences from the given <FILE> --no-default-preferences do not load any preferences from the default locations Documentation: A PharoCommandLineHandler handles default command line arguments and options. The PharoCommandLineHandler is activated before all other handlers. It first checks if another handler is available. If so it will activate the found handler. Then pharo exits. It seems like it is just doing the command and then dies. That's definitely different behaviour than a usual headless pharo.

Sorry, Jeff, it most certainly works ;-) ./pharo is the headless version ./pharo-ui is the version for running a GUI these are both bash scripts that use the binary inside pharo-vm you can look at what's in them to understand what is going on I don't want to be rude, but either you understand command line unix or you don't.

Re: [Pharo-dev] Running Pharo on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS 64-bit

by J.F. Rick

This somewhat works. At minimum, the command for downloading the google home page works. On the other hand, the pharo-ui line caused an error: "pharo: could not find any display driver" That's not a huge deal as this is on a remote server and I can run headless. However, when I try to do that (i.e., ./pharo-vm/pharo headless ./Pharo.image &), I get the same message about not finding a display driver. I do get both vm-display-X11 and vm-display-null showing up as available drivers.
