Ubuntu and Squeak

Ok...so we sort of got Ubuntu running on a server...which VM should I go get?

(Yes, I am so NOT "Linux-enabled" at this particular time...)

Thanks!

Rob

Hi Rob.

It depends on your architecture. If you're just running on 32-bit x86, you can just use the latest Linux VM from http://www.squeak.org/Download. Here's a direct link, because I'm such a nice guy and my browser is open on it anyway:

http://ftp.squeak.org/3.10/unix-linux/Squeak-3.10-1.i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz

IIRC there may be a VM that is installable from Ubuntu's package manager. That would work as well.

If you installed the AMD64 bit version of Ubuntu, then things are a bit trickier. Then you'll need to look at http://www.squeakvm.org/.

Gulik.

Easiest is to use the one in ubuntus multiverse. If you have
enabled "multiverse" in your software sources an

aptitude install squeak-vm

should do.

This worked very well once we got a terminal up and running and so on...thanks! I was able to move my development image from a Windows laptop right onto a dual processor 64 bit Ubuntu box and have my Aida website running just as advertised! Very impressive!

Now we just have to finish our application...

First, you look at the signature at the bottom of this email. It looks like this:

You go to that URL. At the bottom of that page are instructions for unsubscribing.

Then you make a GMail account and subscribe yourself there :-).

Hi Rob,

What do you get for SmalltalkImage current vmVersion please? When I use apt-get or Synaptics I seem to get the 3.7 vm.

Thanks, ...Stan

It says:

'Squeak3.9alpha of 4 July 2005 [latest update: #7021]'.

If it matters, I am running the Desktop version of Ubuntu, 8.04 LTS, 64 bit version...

Interesting, I moved to the version on the Squeak downloads site; it is 'Squeak3.10beta of 22 July 2007 [latest update: #7159]'.

Upgrading the VM got rid of a nasty bug where closing the Squeak window exited immediately, even if you had unsaved changes or were in the middle of saving.

I suppose it's time to upgrade Ubuntu as well.
