Re: Octave 4.2 binary + all packages in Linux ?

[Alexander Wilms]

Hi again,

I just found this bug report: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?51442

Adding the environment variable LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 works around the plotting bug.

Regards

Hi everyone,

I created a Flatpak of Octave a while back. So far the only issue I noticed
is that it freezes when trying to plot using the Qt backend.

The package will be added to Flathub (https://flathub.org/) in a few weeks,
as soon as the KDE runtime is available there as well:
https://github.com/flathub/flathub/pull/49

If you want to try it, you can clone
https://github.com/Alexander-Wilms/flathub, switch to the org.gnu.Octave
branch, initialize the submodule and run

flatpak remote-add kderuntime --from
http://distribute.kde.org/kderuntime.flatpakrepo
flatpak install kderuntime org.kde.Platform 5.9
flatpak install kderuntime org.kde.Sdk 5.9
flatpak-builder --repo=octave-repo octave org.gnu.Octave.json
flatpak remote-add --no-gpg-verify octave-repo octave-repo
flatpak install octave-repo org.gnu.Octave
flatpak run org.gnu.Octave

If any Octave developer is interested, he could get push-access to the
Flathub repository.

Kind regards,

Alexander Wilms
