Bug ID: 457796
Summary: Maxima backend does not work with flatpak Cantor
Product: cantor
Version: 22.04.3
Platform: Flatpak
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: maxima-backend
Assignee: cantor-b...@kde.org
Reporter: jackhill3...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When I try to enter a command, Cantor hangs
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Cantor through flatpak
2. Install maxima
Mine is in installed to /usr/bin/maxima
3. Set path to maxima in Cantor (Settings -> Configure Cantor -> Maxima ->
Executable)
Make sure you use the file chooser dialogue when searching for maxima. This
means flatpak will copy the maxima exe to a directory accessible to Cantor.
4. Start a maxima session in Cantor
5. Try to enter a valid maxima command
I used `diff(x^2, x);`
OBSERVED RESULT
Cantor hangs
The console output is a never ending stream of quotation marks: ""
(the console used to execute `flatpak run org.kde.Cantor`; NOT the output from
Cantor's "Session" tab)
EXPECTED RESULT
It shouldn't hang
It should run the command and output "2 x"
