Do you want to add the background picture to the image like we did with Pharo 1.1 ?
by Mariano Martinez Peck March 12, 2011

If I could decide, I would vote for it :) I like it. If you agree, then it is very easy to add to hudson, just modify (marcus?) the Pharo.st used to build the images to do something like this: World backgroundImage: (ImageReadWriter formFromFileNamed: 'pharoBackground.png') layout: #scaled. I attach here the picture used. Cheers Mariano

THANKS a lot for the awesome Deep Smalltalk School
by Mariano Martinez Peck March 12, 2011

March 12, 2011

Hi all. I am doing quite an effort to have the laptop opened and type some words....heehhehe after a whole vm hacking week I promise I cannot do more.. I wanted to thanks everybody for the unbelievable Deep Smalltalk School that we had. I really thanks everybody involved: organizers, INRIA, ESUG, EDM and other sponsors, you, etc. Even if some people don't notice, I know that some of you spend a lot of time and energy (instead of using such yout time for something else). I promise it was more than worth it. The school was a success. People come over the world: Canada, USA, Argentina, Norway, Germany, Belgium, Spain, France, etc. We were around 45 persons. Even if I am a VM newbie, I like low level stuff. Sometimes when you go to ESUG, Smalltalks or any other conference, you can see one or two 30-minutes-talks about VM, compilers, etc. But do you image what is a whole week from 9:00 to 18:00 talking about VM, Compiler, Parser, Networking, optimizations, etc ??? It is really cool!!! If there is something like this again in the future, please, consider coming, you won't regret. The best thing is that since we have a lot of hours, we can have not only the theoretical lessons, but also the hands on. So, we were able to: compile CogVM from scratch, implement a Twitter like app, create some petit parsers, optimize some real code, create a minimal Hazelnut image, create a VM plugin, etc.... So, once again, thanks a lot to everybody involved. Cheers Mariano

Problem with Sounds
by Matthew Fotzler March 9, 2011

March 9, 2011

Hello, I'm trying to do some development with sound in Pharo. The problem I'm having is as follows: 1) I load up Pharo-1.1.1-dev10.09.1.image and save it as test.image. 2) I open test.image. 3) I do "PluckedSound default play". The sound plays. 4) I "Save and Quit" 5) I reopen test.image and do "PluckedSound default play" again, but no sound will play. I've only been using Pharo and smalltalk for a few weeks, so I'm still very new. Is there something I'm doing wrong here? Thanks, Matthew Fotzler

SharedPool classVars
by Paul DeBruicker March 9, 2011

March 9, 2011

Do SharedPool classVars need to be wrapped in parenthesis? I'm messing around with porting Chronos to Pharo and Gemstone. It currently uses a number of shared pool dictionaries. I'm converting those to subclasses of SharedPool. In the package there is a large number of references to the classVars of the SharedPool. Almost everytime one is accessed I get a DNU or the value comes back as 'nil'. But if I wrap that particular reference in parenthesis the code works fine. So this doesn't work: addHours: hours ^self addSeconds: hours * SecondsPerDay But this does work: addHours: hours ^self addSeconds: hours * (SecondsPerDay) I do not want to track down every reference to every class var and wrap it in parenthesis. Is there something else I can try? Or is there a refactoring rewrite rule I can run to find all references to a SharedPool class var and wrap it in parens? Thanks Paul

When a Pharocast goes too fast for me
by DougEdmunds March 9, 2011

March 9, 2011

1) I'm using a Windows box. Can't help with Mac or Linux. I downloaded the free GOMPlayer. http://www.gomlab.com/eng/ If I want a slower playing Pharocast, I download it, then view it in the GOMPlayer. The control panel has a nice set of buttons for faster/slower playback. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/When-a-Pharocast-goes-too-fast-for-me-tp3342557p33425… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Ubuntu
by Jeff Gray March 8, 2011

March 8, 2011

Hi all, I installed Pharo on a linux box yesterday. Some very strange mouse behaviour. In my workspace whenever I left clicked it selected an area and then after minimising and maximising it instead just bought up the System menu. I had downloaded the VM and sources file but for image and changes I used a file that I have been working on previously in Windows. Is that the problem? -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Ubuntu-tp3334436p3334436.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

I should have removed the UUIDPlugin in the first place. That would have been much more faster. Now it took quite long to make a commit. :) When I left the -O2 switch image seems to run fine on me. About half hour and network access seems to work too. -- Panu
