Boiled it down to octave. Solution is here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22506624/how-to-make-octave-use- gnuplot-instead-of-fltk-by-default
Use the command: graphics_toolkit ("gnuplot") at the beginning of your octave scripts or in your private .octaverc file e.g. user@mycomputer:~$ nano .octaverc paste graphics_toolkit ("gnuplot") save file (crtl-o) done. Test by running plot(rand(3)). You will see the usual output and the print function will work again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1428196 Title: octave does not plot anything To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/octave/+bug/1428196/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
