Re: Can't get GNU Octave v4.4.1 GUI to respond on Windows 7

Hi Steven,

It is a bit suspicious that the "Current Directory:" field is blank and I wonder if the desktop icon has an invalid startup directory.
Try opening E:\Octave\Octave-4.4.1\octave.vbs
directly. If that works edit the properties of the desktop icon.

Hi,

 

I installed Octave (64-bit) on my laptop running Windows 7 Enterprise.

Installed it on my secondary internal E: hard drive, since I am running out of space on my C: drive.

The installation seemed to work and the initial information windows (for a first time user) were displayed when starting up Octave-GUI.

Then, the main Octave-GUI window opened, but when I clicked on it, the window went non-responsive – just showing the spinning icon.

 

 

 

A few notes on what else I tried:

1)      Force closed the program, then re-opened (this time just got a Window with the tile bar and no content shown in window area – again unresponsive)

2)      Uninstalled and re-installed Octave (when opening Octave-GUI, got a Window with the tile bar and no content shown in window area – again unresponsive)

3)      Force closed the program, deleted the qt-settings file, then, re-opened Ocatve-GUI (same result as the original installation)

4)      Checked the target properties for Octave-GUI and found: “E:\Octave\Octave-4.4.1\octave.vbs --force-gui” ( I believe that is correct from what I have read.)

5)      Next, tried Octive-CLI – that seems to be working just fine.

6)      Java version on my laptop is:

               java 10.0.2 2018-07-17

                Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 18.3 (build 10.0.2+13)

                Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 18.3 (build 10.0.2+13, mixed mode)

 

Is there something I am missing?

 

I attached my qt-settings file in case you would need that.

 

Thanks,
