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,

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.

If anyone can get recent (within the last week or so) 64-bit Pharo9

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,
