Thanks, Esteban
That method does get me a working Pharo, which I was having
trouble with before (though I *thought* I'd tried exactly
that...).
However, it also somehow disables the compositor on my entire
display, making it very hard to see where one (non-Pharo) window
ends and another begins.
Compositing comes back when I quit Pharo. The old VM doesn't
exhibit this odd side-effect.

Hi Martin,
I just did :
wget -O- get.pharo.org/64/90+vmHeadlessLatest | bash
./pharo-ui Pharo.image
And I had no problem at all (except a libgit2 version that
will be fixed soon).
I am using a Manjaro, but I do not see why it should not work
on others.

If anyone can get recent (within the last week or so)
64-bit Pharo9
images to work on Linux, please let me know how you did
that! I've tried
everything I can think of and no luck.
For the purposes of this query, "working'' means that you
can open a
playground, type into the it, then backspace over what
you've typed.
If you can do that on Linux, this information would be
much appreciated:
* What build are you running?
* What VM are you running and where did you get it?
* How do you launch it? If from the command-line, what
arguments?
Thanks,
