I've investigated this crash further, and I think it may be due to Octave linking against LLVM 3.3 while the Mesa software direct rendering drivers are linked against LLVM 3.4. A locally-built Octave without the experimental JIT (not linked to LLVM) does not crash in the same way.
In addition to using gnuplot, another workaround that works for me is to disable direct rendering: $ export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=y $ octave octave:1> plot (... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1293876 Title: octave-cli crashed with SIGSEGV in llvm::TargetRegistry::lookupTarget() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/octave/+bug/1293876/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
