Dear all! It is known bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1765503 .
The solution is to use binary version of Scilab 6 as described in this AskUbuntu answer ( https://askubuntu.com/a/1029164/66509 ). Official reaction from Scilab developers and/or Debian/Ubuntu maintainers is highly needed and will be appreciated. Otherwise Scilab 6 from deb-packages is useless waste of disk resources. So please take all needed measures on distro-level. -- *With best regards,Ph.D., * *associate professor at MPEI <http://mpei.ru/lang/en/Pages/default.aspx>,IEEE member,maintainer of Mathieu functions toolbox for Scilab <http://atoms.scilab.org/toolboxes/Mathieu/>,Nikolay Strelkov.* чт, 11 окт. 2018 г. в 9:12, Samuel Enibe <samuel.en...@unn.edu.ng>: > I have a similar problem with SCILAB on Ubuntu 1804. > > A solution to this problem from the developers of SCILAB or the Ubuntu > maintainers will be most appreciated. > > Samuel Ogbonna Enibe > University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Nigeria > > > On Wed, Oct 10, 2018 at 10:37 PM Pndsc <chr...@poundsc.org> wrote: > >> So to update my own inquiry - as far as I can make out theres no solution >> to >> this problem.
