sclilab 5.1 craches when using graypolarplot

-- Bug description --

Scilab is unable to draw plots, contours, and any other graphics elements which is loaded under figure elements.
x=[0:0.1:10]:
y=sin(x);
plot(x,y) produces pops up the figure window but there's nothing i can see
same with other plot-like commands contour etc....
When running demo's under help, it shows the list under graphics but none of those examples shows anything visible except the blank figure window with black background. The background colour cannot be changed by the figure properties too.
when 3-d rotation is used, processor speeds up, and values "alpha", "theta" changes, so i guess the plot is there but the problem is i cannot see it.

java - 1.6_05
wxwidgets - 2.8
VGA - intel 945GMA using intel experimental driver on FC9 (i386)
scilab - version 5.0.3 from linux-i686 binary

do i have to compile from the sorce instead?

-- Scilab error message --

none displayed in either scilab console or terminal window

-- How to reproduce the bug --

i only need to try any plot to get this error!

This also happens for the last 4 version and the 5.0.3 version. I have the same problem (running persistent USB Ubuntu). I also tried by just popping out a figure window with the 'figure' command in the console. A black window pops. I found out that there is a very slim vertical stripe at the top which changes color whenever I switch the figure's background color. HEEEELP!

The SCILAB GTK which works using the scilab 4 core works fine in my pc. I guess the problem with the scilab 5.0.3 (using java3d) is either my graphics driver or java3d. ------------Malshan---------------

You may try to use a nightly build (developpement version for the upcoming 5.1 version) :
http://www.scilab.org/download/index_download.php?page=nightly_builds

Unfortunately, Linux intel drivers don't work with JOGL ans then with Scilab. However, we have created a workaround. To enable it, you just need to input usecanvas(%t) just after starting your Scilab. You may add this command in the scilab.start file to avoid typing it each time.

It should fix your problem but enabling usecanvas will also prenvent you from adding uicontrols above a graphic plot. That's why we don't enable the workaround by default for now.

Please let us know if it fix your problem.

Dear Jean-Baptiste,
 the usecanvas command gives following output:
--> usecanvas (%t)
  error 4
unidentified variable

and nothing happens
is my syntax correct?

Could you try the last nightly build: http://www.scilab.org/download/index_download.php?page=nightly_builds?

usecanvas is present in this release.

Thanks,
Jean-Baptiste

Works fine

Here is a sum of the various workaround with graphic problems:

1) Update your graphic drivers

2)
From Scilab, try
usecanvas(%t)

3)
From Scilab, try
system_setproperty("jogl.gljpanel.nohw","");

4)
Try to start Scilab in "256-colour mode"

5) Wait for Scilab 5.4.0

When I use Ubuntu 11.04 i have no problem with ACER notebooks equipped by Intel X3100 (Extensa 5620Z, Aspire 5115Z). After upgrading to 11.10 there is a hang after a plot command.

I try to workaround using current Nightly build scilab-master-1318599153.bin.linux-x86_64.tar.gz. There is a same graphics crash but the process scilab-bin after crash is unkillable. The only one possibility to kill it is logout - login. To test I use simple command: plot([1,2,3],[4,5,6]).

Please open a new bug report. Anyway, it is likely to be a problem with Ubuntu and the way it handles intel graphic drivers...

I try it on the VirtualBox. Under guest OS Ubuntu 11.10 x32 it also hangs. Under guest OS Ubuntu 10.04.03 it works until I install guest additions. After installing additions it opens Plot window and fully closes without any graphics.
I try to use official Xorg components and now I upgrade to Xorg-Edgers libraries. And no result...
Also I try Windows x32 version on Wine. It installs but can not start.
I try to post to Ubuntu forum http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1863295 But there is no response.

*** Bug 10212 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

There is a workaround for Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric from http://www.equalis.com/forums/posts.asp?topic=321201&
Install the package libgl1-mesa-swx11 (with synaptic). This uninstalls libgl1-mesa-glx.
But the comment of Bug 876195 of Ubuntu
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/scilab/+bug/876195
say that it breaks Unity.
I try all items in gear-wheel menu of logon screen. Only "Gnome" mode failed using this workaround. All other choices work successfully. (But I use Xorg-Edgers video driver).

OK, thanks. I am updating the list of workarounds

Here is a sum of the various workarounds with graphic problems:

1) Update your graphic drivers

2)
From Scilab, try
usecanvas(%t)

3)
From Scilab, try
system_setproperty("jogl.gljpanel.nohw","");

4)
Try to start Scilab in "256-colour mode"

5) If you run ubuntu 11.10, install the libgl1-mesa-swx11 packaged instead of libgl1-mesa-glx

6) Wait for Scilab 5.4.0

This bug affects SCILAB 5.4.1 at Ubuntu 12.10 x64!!!
No differences from 5.4.0.
Only empty white graphic window...

Hi,

Could you start scilab from command line ?
Do you get any interesting information (such as a backtrace, a Java exception or anything else) ?

Thanks

The back trace. My comments are in the #### frame

Hi

I tried the script with scilab 5.4.1.1364571296 under Ubuntu 13.04 and it
works.

I don't have any 12.10 environment anymore to test with.

I am satisfied that it works in 13.04.

Best wishes
David

This bug remains with Suse 11.3 and scilab 5.4.1.
The workarounds did not work for me.

The java installation (1.6.0) of suse 11 does have neither gluegen nor jogl. I tried also to reduce
librarypath.xml to valid entries only. The result is unchanged. See below:

Best,
Martin

Oups. A fatal error has been detected by Scilab.
Your instance will probably crash soon.

This bug wasn't solved in scilab-5.5.0-beta-1.
plot([1,2],[3,4]) cause openning empty graphics window and error. Look at attached files:

Backtrace.txt - This back trace;
ConsoleUaOriginal - the copy of console after error in Ukrainian
ConsoleEn - My translation of console content. Sorry for inaccuracy.

The workaround is using SciLab 5.3.3. It is the last version without a bug.

Apears to be FIXED in Ubuntu 13.10. Plot works normally in scilab 5.4.1-1~exp1.

debian jessie x32, scilab 5.5.2
plot(x) produces pops up the empty figure window

(In reply to Andrei from comment #38)
> debian jessie x32, scilab 5.5.2
> plot(x) produces pops up the empty figure window

Are you using the Scilab stock binary ? your own compiled version or the debian one ?

the debian one:
debian jessie x32, scilab 5.5.2

But the debian one:
debian jessie x64, scilab 5.5.1
works fine
(x64, not x32)

(originally entered in version "5.0.2 final version")

Should be OK now with Scilab 6.x
Please reopen the report if it's not the case.
