[Scilab-users] Linux: Console not working when starting from start menu

[Nikolay Strelkov]

Dear, Richard!

Yes, it is known issue - see http://bugzilla.scilab.org/
show_bug.cgi?id=14682 .
As temporary solution I created desktop launcher with command inside

env LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" xterm -e /home/nikolay/Software/scilab-6.0.0/bin/scilab

So Scilab starts with xterm terminal emulator. You may change xterm to
other terminal with corresponding options.

Hope this helps.
