Yes, downloading fresh vm+pharo works (I was thinking I have a recent VM too -- sorry for adding to the confusion). The with issues is this one:

PharoX$ ../Pharo9/pharo-ui -version

hi,

I still have no problem with any of that.
So you will have to be more specific : which image version, which VM version, which linux version.

I can confirm text input is severely broken backspace/del (tried on Linux buster, but it seems to be an image problem) -- control characters themselves get inserted into text pane.
Type a string into a pane, ex. '123456789', position cursor somewhere in the middle, press del/backspace/ left&right arrows. If you inspect the string you'll see control characters inside (evident at 'Items' tab)

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,
