Hi all, I've been having some trouble running DrRacket under Ubuntu Unity, the new default interface in the upcoming Ubuntu 11.04 'Natty'.
Specifically, the splash screen with the lambda icon appears, but when the IDE window itself opens the entire system hangs. I installed the 'racket' package from the ppa:plt/racket PPA (private package archive, the official way to install unofficial programmes in Ubuntu). It runs fine under Ubuntu with vanilla GNOME and GNOME plus Compiz (a 3-D compositor) with default settings, but it doesn't run under Unity. This is strange, since internally Unity is implemented as a set of Compiz plugins. Ubuntu 11.04 introduces a few other UI changes besides Unity, such as a Mac-like global menu bar and a new scroll-bar widget. I've tried disabling both, to no avail. I don't think I have any particular unusual configurations; it should be reproducible with a default Ubuntu 11.04 beta 1 install. I don't know how to make it print out diagnostic info; I would appreciate instructions as to how. I haven't tried compiling from source; I can try if people think it'd be helpful. Ubuntu 11.04 is the current development version, currently in beta stage. It will be released in April 2011 (hence the version number 11.04). Thanks in advance. -- Hyungrok Kim _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/users
