i see no reason why opening a terminal should be ubuntu specific. in any case though, it should just fail and not hang. Check class side methods UbuntuShell. It only calls "gnome-terminal" which might not be available.
thanks, the code is less complex than i expected. there is not much to debug even, because Ubuntu system: 'gnome-terminal &'. is what hangs. and Ubuntu>>system: is just calling nativeboost. so the problem must be in there. i have updated to the latest pharo4 image, but i didn't check that the pharo-vm is up-to-date. btw: PipeableOSProcess command: 'gnome-terminal &'. works just fine. what is the difference between using nativeboost instead of OSProcess? greetings, martin. -- eKita - the online platform for your entire academic life -- chief engineer eKita.co pike programmer pike.lysator.liu.se caudium.net societyserver.org secretary beijinglug.org mentor fossasia.org foresight developer foresightlinux.org realss.com unix sysadmin Martin Bähr working in china http://societyserver.org/mbaehr/
