I didn't realize that you couldn't open the GemTools client ... I' ve only run GemTools myself on Ubuntu 16.04 ...

Here's the output of a GemTools on my Ubuntu16.04:

foos:GemTools>ls
gemtools			    GemTools-1.0-beta.8.6-301x.app.zip	 GemTools-1.0-beta.8.7-340xx.app
GemTools-1.0b6.app		    GemTools-1.0-beta.8.7-3101x.app	 GemTools1.0-beta.8.7.zip
GemTools-1.0b6.zip		    GemTools-1.0-beta.8.7-310x.zip	 GemTools-2.3.1-preview.app

GemTools-1.0-beta.8.6-301x.app	    GemTools-1.0-beta.8.7-324_linux.zip

You should be able to copy the GemTools*.app directory over to your Ubunutu system and start the image ... you'll need to have 32 bit X libraries installed ... if you are using GsDevKit_home, the support for Pharo will be installed.

Here's the listing of the GemTools startup script:

#!/bin/sh

set -x

# path
ROOT=`readlink -f $(dirname $0)`
LINUX="$ROOT/Contents/Linux686"
RESOURCES="$ROOT/Contents/Resources"

# icon (note: gvfs-set-attribute is found in gvfs-bin on Ubuntu
# systems and it seems to require an absolute filename)
gvfs-set-attribute \
	"$0" \
	"metadata::custom-icon" \
	"file://$RESOURCES/Squeak.png" \
		2> /dev/null

# zenity is part of GNOME
image_count=`ls "$RESOURCES"/*.image 2>/dev/null |wc -l`
if which zenity &>/dev/null && [ "$image_count"  -ne 1 ]; then
	olddir=`pwd`
	cd "$RESOURCES"
	image=`zenity --title 'Select an image' --file-selection --file-filter '*.image' --file-filter '*'`
	cd "$olddir"
else
	image="$RESOURCES/GemTools-1.0-beta.8.7-32x"
fi

# execute
exec "$LINUX/squeak" \
	-plugins "$LINUX" \
	-encoding latin1 \
	-vm-display-X11 \
	"$image"

.. and I'd think that you could just directly set the image file and skip the zenity code altogether and just use the line `image="$RESOURCES...` to set the image ... eliminating the zenity code works for my on Ubuntu 16.04 ...

It seems to be useful if you have multiple images in the resources directory ... I only have one...

Why are you trying to use GemTools when you have a tODE image available? Is tODE not installed in your 3.1.0.6 stone?

Ciao,

I guess I've just ignored the zenity messages when I've started gemtools, since things work fine ... if I'm not mistaken zenity is supposed to kick in when you don't supply an image...

The situation is:

when from the shell i run:   ./ 

GemTools-1.0-beta.8.7-31x.sh 

the shell report immediately:

 

/usr/bin/zenity 

Gtk-Message: 11:49:49.999: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.

After the system open the file selection window and i can select the ....fileName.image

A this point the shell report :

could not find module vm-display-X11

Annullato (core dump creato)

Considerations?

From the same shell the: startClient todebase   works fine.

Thanks,

Dario

P.S.  In the  GemTools*.app/Contents/Linux686 directory  i have some vm-...  ( vm-display-X11  vm-display-null ........).  subdirectory  

but not vm-dispaly..... executable files

I copy the GemTools*.app  directory from the MacBook system to the Ubuntu 18.04.1 system.

In the Ubuntu system i using the GsDevKit_home and the startClient todebase     works fine.

I change the file execution permits to:

/opt/GemTools-1.0-beta.8.7-3101.app$ ./GemTools-1.0-beta.8.7-31x.sh 

/opt/GemTools-1.0-beta.8.7-3101.app/Contents/Linux686/squeak

Now when i run the: ./

GemTools-1.0-beta.8.7-31x.sh 

after  select the: ****.image  file

the system report:

/usr/bin/zenity 

Gtk-Message: 11:49:49.999: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.

could not find module vm-display-X11

Annullato (core dump creato)

I must continue in any case with:

If not then here are the instructions you should follow([1], [2], and [3]).

Thanks,

Dario

The only other thing you need to do is to copy the $GEMSTONE/lib32/*.so libraries to the GemTools*.app/Contents/Linux686 directory and create a symbolic link between gciForLinux.so and the libgcirpc-*-32.so file.... and you should be good to go.
