Thx Sven. That led me to check the url which worked fine. http://catalog.pharo.org/catalog/json Then I had to close and restart the image and its was working fine. So now nothing to examine :(. Minor side issue that I'm ignoring for now (just reporting for completeness)... putting a halt in CatalogProvider>>retrieveProjects and clicking the Catalog <Refresh> button freezes the UI and ALT-. can't break it (and neither does CTRL-. ) The shell console repeatedly cycles following (2 cycles shown), GLMPanelMorph(Morph)>>submorphsDo: Halt CatalogProvider>>retrieveProjects [ self retrieveProjects collect: [ :each | CatalogProject fromDictionary: each ] ] in CatalogProvider>>loadProjects in Block: [ self retrieveProjects...

Check CatalogProvider. It should download the catalog from the cloud and cache it locally. If not you can work from there on to see what is wrong.
