Hello Isabelle experts,

I'm trying to run Isabelle 2019 for Linux on an old and slow laptop. If
this is not supported, please ignore.
My machine has 4 GB of RAM and 10 GB of free disk space and this seems to
be enough. I run Debian 10 (buster) x86_64 with LXDE.

When I start Isabelle jEdit, I get syntax highlighting but I don't see any
output and the prover is not running. In particular, in the "Theories"
panel on the top, next to the "Continuous checking" checkbox, it says
"Prover: startup". It should say "Prover: ready". In the shell where I
started isabelle, I don't see any output on STDOUT or STDERR.

How can I debug why the prover does not become ready?

Running
$ isabelle build -v -D .
in a directory with a small example theory works fine.

Thanks!
Cornelius

Old hardware should work in principle, if you don't ask too much from it ---
like actual applications of the Isabelle/HOL library.

On my old Macbook Pro from 2008 (2 cores, 4 GB), I can run Isabelle2019 and
Isabelle2020-RC1.

On a virtual installation of Debian 10 with LXDE I can do the same.

Hard to tell what is wrong here. You may try the Isabelle server as documented
in the "system" manual, chapter 4 with "Examples" towards the end of the chapter.

Another possibility in Isabelle/jEdit it Plugins / Isabelle / Syslog panel.

For 2019 and 2020-RC2, the syslog panel is empty on my old system.
Starting an Isabelle server also did not provider any debug output.
