Etoys error on startup

Hi, I just downloaded the new Etoys and tried to run it on Vista. It came up with an error message informing me about an "invalid utf8 input".

did you try to run it standalone or in a browser?
Is it a German Vista? Would also be helpful if there is a SqueakDebug.log.

Thanks

Sigh...

Thanks for sending the information!

Esther had a similar problem running etoys on ubuntu 6.10, which probably
doesn't use utf8 as locale.

Is the vm-option "-encoding utf-8" the reason?

On ubuntu 8.04 everything is fine, only npsqueakregister seems to be
missing in the .deb

Hallo Michael,

I'm just trying to set up Etoys on our Linux-computers at school. There I
need to change the value of $SQUEAK_USERDIR. The easiest way in this case
would be /etc/environment. I understand that the environment-variable used
by the squeak-vm has to have the name SQUEAK_USERDIR, hasn't it? But we're
using 'real' Squeak as well and I'd love to have different USERDIRs for
these different images. Hence I'd like to have different
environment-variables.

Right now, etoys.sh looks like

----8X--------------------------------------------------------------
[ -z "$SQUEAK_SECUREDIR" ] && export SQUEAK_SECUREDIR="$HOME/.etoys"
[ -z "$SQUEAK_USERDIR" ] && export SQUEAK_USERDIR="$HOME/Etoys"
---------------------------------------------------------X8---------

I'd prefer Etoys to use ETOYS_SECUREDIR and ETOYS_USERDIR (since it's
Etoys, not Squeak :) ). etoys.sh could look like

----8X---------------------------------------------------------------
if [ -z "$ETOYS_SECUREDIR" ]
then
     export SQUEAK_SECUREDIR="$HOME/.etoys"
else
     export SQUEAK_SECUREDIR="$ETOYS_SECUREDIR"
fi
if [ -z "$ETOYS_USERDIR" ]
then
     export SQUEAK_USERDIR="$HOME/Etoys"
else
     export SQUEAK_USERDIR="$ETOYS_USERDIR"
fi
---------------------------------------------------------X8---------

You could also create launcher scripts (*.desktop files aka link to
application) and use the following command:

SQUEAK_USERDIR=myowndir SQUEAK_IMAGE=myimagefile squeak ..

Thanks Subbu, that's a possibility I hadn't thought of.

Yes we have seen this too. But as far as we can tell, this is not  
generated by the list server but by some subscriber's "gateway" and  
sent to the poster directly. We have not figured out yet who is  
responsible for this :(

Sorry for the inconvenience,

This message triggered the gateway message again and I figured out the  
culprit and disabled his mail delivery. So hopefully the problem  
should be solved now.
