Re: 9.0 refusing to run on Ubuntu

Helge and Tom,

Thanks for the responses.

Tom,  I backed away from 22.04 because I am skeptical that Wayland is needed at all,  and even more skeptical about sunsetting X.

Helge,   I will check the fonts and so on this morning.  Thanks.

Regards.

Gregory B.

Helge,

I remember seeing a font problem like this a long time ago on a different operating system. Would it make sense for Cincom to add an error message to the VM so that Linux users could fix this problem themselves? Saying that it's a font problem and what fonts are needed would make this a trivial problem.

With Ubuntu 22.04 this could get worse, since now Wayland is the default, not X. I'm out of the loop on anything that Cincom might be doing in this area...

Dear Gregory,

did you check whether the respective Ubuntu installation has the X.Org fonts installed? VisualWorks requires these.

Currently I have the following combinations working without a problem:

  *   Ubuntu Mate 19.10: VisualWorks 8.3, 8.3.2 and 9.1
  *   Ubuntu Mate 21.04: VisualWorks 9.1.1 and 9.2

Thus, I don’t know about your specific combo Ubuntu 18.04/VisualWorks 9.0 but don’t expect issues there. Or, you update both your OS and VisualWorks 😉

Has anyone encountered this type of error when trying to run VW 9.0 on Ubuntu?   I have tried several images which run well on other workstations than the one displaying the problem;  those other workstations have different Debian distributions, though.
