[Pharo-users] Pharo won't start on Ubuntu
Pharo 9 (amd64) Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS (Focal Fossa) I installed Pharo 9 by following the instructions for Xubuntu 20.04 at [OpenSuse Builder](https://bityl.co/ABlH "OpenSuse Builder"). Next I checked for a starter script: `hedster:~$ which pharo` `/usr/bin/pharo` Then I executed the script … `hedster:~$ pharo` … which did not start the Pharo GUI but produced a pile of error messages I don’t understand. I’m sorry to inflict this on you because it is rather long. See the CLI output below.

I tried finding all pharo locations: `hedster:/$ whereis pharo` `pharo: /usr/bin/pharo /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pharo9.0 /snap/bin/pharo /snap/bin/pharo.getimage /snap/bin/pharo.cleanimage32 /snap/bin/pharo.getimage32 /snap/bin/pharo.cleanimage /snap/bin/pharo.config /snap/bin/pharo.ui /snap/bin/pharo.sqlite3` Hope this helps.

I installed from the .deb package and now there are no problems starting Pharo on Ubuntu 20.04.3.
[Pharo-users] Pharo9: Lessons in "Learn Pharo" are now black and unreadable
Ubuntu 20.04.3 Pharo-9.0.0+build.1573 I am a noob just getting started with Pharo. After tuning some System preferences (e.g. switching to Pharo Light theme, etc.) the lessons in “Learn Pharo” available from the “Welcome” window are near black and unreadable. When I click on “Learn Pharo” the initial page is okay (black or blue type on a black background) but doing ‘`ProfStef go.`’ messages opens the next lesson where all text has such a black background it is unreadable. Doing ‘`ProfStef next.`’ or ‘`ProfStef previous.`’ on subsequent pages opens a new page similarly illegible. I’ve searched through all the System prefs but can’t figure out which one affects the lesson pages. Regards, Hedley
[Pharo-users] How do I unsubscribe?
I can't find any info at the Affinity list-server about unsubscribing from this list. Presumably there is a special address but I can't think what command to add after pharo-users-???. TIA. Hedley Finger hedley.fin...@gmail.com

Thanks James. I usually only look at the header details when I suspect the sender is a scammer. You learn something new every day.
