I need your help! I want to use symbols and undefined variables in octave.
When I use MatLab I can use the commend syms x. But I can't. When I use x or
another undefined variable there comes an error. What shall I do? I have
Ubuntu Salamander - is their any smart line I can write in the Terminal? Or
any other solution?

Please help me. I just want to use Ubuntu - so it must be Octave or Scilab.

As far as I know, the symbolic package for octave is not viable and not maintained (seems the last update was 3 years ago).  I have heard good things about Maxima ( http://maxima.sourceforge.net/ )  but haven't fooled around with it much.  You might want to try that out.
