Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is, IMHO, is royal piece of crap. Ubuntu seems to have abandoned programmers tools almost completely in 18.04. I’ve had more problems with support of programming tools in 18.04, more than even Windows. I have run ‘sudo apt install’ maybe 80 times to install tools and libraries. Ubuntu 18.04’s hardware support is also lame compared to 16.04.
Personally , I’m not surprised that Pharo doesn’t run on 18.04. I stopped installing 18.04 on my new machines, after all 16.04 still has a few years of support going for it, and at least it works without hours of upgrading.
