Difficulties setting up default image in XMonad

Hi all,

When I try to launch the latest Pharo image in XMonad, I run into the following:

Pharo launch
failure screenshot

I couldn't copy the error text unfortunately so I have attached a screenshot instead. Any hints on what might be causing it? Is it due to my using a tiling window manager?

Cheers,
Vanessa McHale

Re: Difficulties setting up default image in XMonad

Hi Vanessa,

does your OS have libcario installed?

which Os are you using?

Does pharo 7 work? Pharo 8 is alpha.

Does it Pharo 7 or 8 run properly under another window manager on your
system?

Pharo used to run on xMonad and ratpoison so I'd guess you'll be able to get
it working somehow now.

In the lower right portion of your screenshot there is an error message that
the VM couldn't properly configure itself on your OS. Did you try the
suggestion in the error message and still have the problem you're
experiencing?

Hope this helps

Paul

Re: Difficulties setting up default image in XMonad

I have libcairo, yes.

I am using Lubuntu and it is based off Ubuntu 18.10

Pharo 7 works! So I believe it must be a bug in the new VM

Thanks!

Re: Difficulties setting up default image in XMonad

OK great.

I'm not super familiar with how the launcher works but you may be able to
specify & use an older VM with Pharo 8, if you need Pharo 8.
