I suspect you have a version of IPython below 0.9, and as a result the combination of the wthread and pylab options don't work well. This is something we tuned during the 0.9 development period. The Mayavi package you are using are quite old, and this is why you don't get the pipeline view. If you are going to be using Mayavi a lot, I suggest you use the 3.x apckages on my PPA: https://launchpad.net/~gael-varoquaux/+archive They are compatible with Ubuntu 8.10. When you install them, they will remove python-matplotlib (I haven't really figured how to avoid that). Once you have installed them, you can install python-matplotlib, it will work with no problem. Alternatively, you can wait for 9.04 to come out, it has the latest version of Mayavi: http://packages.ubuntu.com/fr/jaunty/mayavi2 Gaël -- enthought tvtk failure under compiz https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/243901 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
