Greetings,

The error:

XIO:  fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0.0"
      after 416 requests (416 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

is generated when squeak exits and does not seem to be related to whether or
not sound is working.

The Ubuntu Squeak package does not contain the sound plugins.

You need to:
copy as root vm-sound-ALSA and vm-sound-OSS to /usr/lib/squeak/3.9-8
put an image and changes files in a ~/directory
add a link as root "ln -s /usr/share/squeak/SqueakV39.sources /usr/bin"

Now you can run squeak ~/directory/image.

Chris
