Delphi RIO PAServer in Linux raises IOError 11 - linux

Question

I have a strange problem I cannot solve on my own:
Using Delphi 10.3 Rio Enterprise, on Linux (I tried fresh installs of Ubuntu 16.04 and Ubuntu 18.04 Desktop and Ubuntu 18.04 Server with GUI in VMWare Player 15) PAServer crashes with I/O Error 11 every time I start debugging. I can pull the SDK and Delphi deploys all files correctly. But trying to run ends with the crash and Delphi complaining that GDB Server is no longer available. I can run the program on the Linux host by starting it manually (of course without debugging).
It does not depend on the user in Linux, it also happens as root. Also, a non graphic appliation crashes even on non GUI Ubuntu server, always with IO Error 11.
Debugging with PAServer works well on OSX, Android and Windows. I of course tried a dead simple one form project without content with the same results.
I traced the Delphi PAClient with ProcMon, no evidence on that side. Then I tracked the Linux process with strace, which gave me this output:
write(1, "Starting Platform Assistant Serv"..., 49Starting Platform Assistant Server on port 64211

Answer 1

Please check
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1813873
Ubuntu kernel 4.15.0-44 introduced this trouble, and Ubuntu will fix this trouble on next kernel update, Mar 4th.

Answer 2

Completely revised answer.
It doesn't seem to be related to vmWare Player 15 but somehow to Ubuntu, 16 as well as 18. In all non Linux OS debugging works and also in Rhedhat 7 and the Debian Stretch.
In Debian 9 I had to use the sdk generated with the Ubuntu machine as some files were missing when generated in Debian. May be easy to solve but the other SDK does its job.
