Hello Matias,

It may be driver-related. Try to check your install, notably by making tests on your host.

Or maybe you could test a Scilab 5.4.1 to see if it is a Scilab version problem.

Hope this helps,
Cordially,
Paul.

Hi,

I have an ubuntu 12 running in a VirtualBox. Scilab is unable to plot any simple graph (Im testing with "plot(1,1)"). The graph window appears completly black and it stops responding. I found some posts about this problem, and I already tried several things but nothing fixed my installation. It would be awsome if some can give me a hint to try to solve the issue as Im stuck now. Below you can find all the details of the environment and the things I already tried.

Thanks!!

*Environment*
The host OS is a windows 8, with a VirtualBox 4.3.6. Im running Ubuntu 12 and Scilab 5.3.3 (I can not use another version of Scilab as it is linked to another software). I already reinstall the lastest VirtualMachine Additions and enabled 3D acceleration. Without 3D acceleration scilab is able to graph but Ubuntu run really sloooooowww.

*The problem
*
*1) *plot (1,1)
When I execute "plot(1, 1)" I get the following error and a black graphic window (debug info at the end):
!--error 999
A native error occurred during the drawing of the figure.
Description: Illegally formatted version identifier: "null"
......

*2)* I tried using "system_setproperty("jogl.gljpanel.nohw","");"
But I get exacly the same problem

*3) *With usecanvas(%f) I get a different error (debug info also at the end):
->plot(1,1)
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" javax.media.opengl.GLException: Unable to select one of the provided GLCapabilities at javax.media.opengl.DefaultGLCapabilitiesChooser.chooseCapabilities(DefaultGLCapabilitiesChooser.java:218) at com.sun.opengl.impl.x11.X11GLDrawable.chooseVisual(X11GLDrawable.java:142)
.........

4) Disabling 3D Aceleration from virtualBox solves the issue but makes ubuntu run too slow.
