I've identified the source of my problem =) I starts my image with a script like: exec "$VM" $VM_PARAMS "$IMAGE" $STARTUP_SCRIPT where $STARTUP_SCRIPT is the path to a .st file. That file was named "startup.st". Which is automatically loaded with Pharo 1.4. So it was loaded twice and my image was fucked. I tried to modify my script to: exec "$VM" $VM_PARAMS "$IMAGE" and put "startup.st" next to the image. But that still gives me the error. In the end I just kept exec "$VM" $VM_PARAMS "$IMAGE" $STARTUP_SCRIPT but rename the file lying in $STARTUP_SCRIPT in "start.st". Everything seems to work fine now.

Hi there,

I have a problem when trying to start an application on a linux server with the latest cogvm (2550) and Pharo 1.4-14438.

Francois, I think that stacktrace is a problem trying to write into PharoDebug.log ANOTHER problem. So you shuld try to somehow see which is the original error.

Cheers

I haven't identified the cause yet but if anybody had that problem before, i'm all ears ;)

Cheers, Francois

Yes I did but I could not make any sense of it. Basically, it was an extended stacktrace of the console output: MultiByteFileStream(Object)>>__primitiveFailed: On 25/04/12 15:52, Camillo Bruni wrote:

to clarify: you didn't get anything in the PharoDebug.log?

if not, maybe we should add a --verbose switch do dump the extensive stack-trace?
