Ciao, thanks.

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.8.6-244x.app	    GemTools-1.0-beta.8.7-31x.zip	 gemToolsBuilder
GemTools-1.0-beta.8.6-244x.app.zip  GemTools-1.0-beta.8.7-320xx.app
GemTools-1.0-beta.8.6-301x.app	    GemTools-1.0-beta.8.7-324_linux.zip

I don't have the GemTools directory.

I have only copy the:

GemTools-1.0-beta.8.7-3101.app    from a MacBook system to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS system

That's what I expected you to do ..

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. 

foos:GemTools>cd GemTools-1.0-beta.8.7-340xx.app
foos:GemTools-1.0-beta.8.7-340xx.app>ls
Contents  COPYRIGHT  GemTools-1.0-beta.8.7-32x.lnk  GemTools-1.0-beta.8.7-32x.sh  README.tx

I don't understand what do you do in the next lines.

in your GemTools*.sh script you should see the lines that are listed below (without the leading plusses) ... this is the code where zenity is used and you should be able to remove the conditional block that calls zenity ... if you don't have any code that looks (exactly) like this script code, then send me your GemTools*.sh script that is in the GemTools.app directory.

+ which zenity
/usr/bin/zenity

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 ...

I eliminating the zenity code and define the $RESOURCES 

but  the ./ 

GemTools-1.0-beta.8.7-31x.sh  report:

 

could not find module vm-display-X11

Annullato (core dump creato)

Okay, it sounds like you have not installed X support on your client machine ... To install the x support use the highlighted shell script commands in [1], [2]. and [3].
