Hi all,
I am a newbie to Squeak and Smalltalk. I have a problem with the 2.7 version on my Slack 7.1 (gnome/sawmill): It hangs when I click on the destroy halo of a morph. I compiled from source the VM but it was the same. Permissions are rw on .image and .changes.
I am running all of that on an omnibook 6000.
I am wandering where is the problem and I suspect it doesn't come from squeak. Has anybody encountered the same problem ?
Keith
Simple question:
Is sound enabled under Squeak? Since you're running Gnome I suspect that you've also got ESD running as well...this hogs the sound device and as a result, Squeak will appear to 'hang' since it can't access the sound device.
(The same is true for KDE2 users running artsd...however you can promote squeak to use artsd with the artsdsp hack...but this has other side-effects as well.)

Actually, Squeak works (and sounds) very well with ESD on my Redhat 6.2 + Helix Gnome.

Really? Does ESD relinquish the sound device after a certain amount of idle time?
The last time I mixed Squeak and ESD, it didn't work too well (which admittedly was quite some time ago)...ESD just hogged the sound device and wouldn't let anything else use it.

You need to use the "esddsp" wrapper around Squeak.

I don't use "esddsp". It just works. I can hear Squeak sounds even while listening to MP3s in XMMS, as well as the "new mail" blip. Maybe ESD talks to ALSA directly so /dev/dsp is still free?

oh, cool! Just like artsdsp, I guess. :) Shows how long it's been since I've used ESD...
For any KDE2 users out there (to follow up on my own artdsp problems with squeak), there is another version of artsdsp in CVS that could fix the creeping system load problem I was seeing... but you need to wait for KDE 2.1. :)
