Ubuntu's version of Scilab runs well if Oracle's Java 7 JDK is used. So, the WORKAROUND for this issue is: sudo apt-get install python-software-properties sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer
Then two easy options (there are others): 1) You keep openjdk you'll have to launch scilab in a terminal like this: export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/ scilab 2) You uninstall openjdk sudo dpkg --purge openjdk-7-jre default-jre openjdk-7-jre-headless default-jre-headless icedtea-7-jre-jamvm then start scilab either in a terminal, using the icon or any other way -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1362572 Title: SciNotes does not open any file after Ubuntu update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/scilab/+bug/1362572/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
