Hi all,
I have heard there are some issues related to font allocation while
running VW in linux, but I admit never having actually looked into this
to completely understand what is the problem.
A few weeks ago I tried to upgrade from VW 7.3 to 7.4 and, although the
installation process seems to have worked, my splash screen hangs and I
cannot open the base image.
I remember that the symptoms described at:
<a href="http://www.parcplace.net/list/vwnc-archive/0511/msg00248.html" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www.parcplace.net/list/vwnc-archive/0511/msg00248.html
... did not exactly match the problems I was having.... but, as I said,
I did not take the time to find out what was preventing my image from
launching.
Anyway, I am just saying that because I think it might be related to another problem I am having:
When trying to load a bundle from a local store repository I get a
primitive failed error. The same problem occurs when running the
following code:
Notice showNotice: 'testing notice' complete: 1 while: [ false ].
Hopefully, by understanding why this primitive fails, I will be able to
launch VW 7.4..... but it might not have anything to do with it! :)
I am using Ubuntu Linux with
X.org and Enlightenment 0.16 as my window
manager... if there is any other essential information that might help,
please let me know.
regards (and sorry for the looong email),
ricardo
