[Scilab-users] scilab 6.0.1 in Ubuntu 18.04 repos has a broken Atoms Manager

[antoine monmayrant]

Hi all,


I think I found a bug but I am not sure where to report it (ie Ubuntu or 
Scilab).
The current Ubuntu 18.04 (beta) ships with scilab 6.0.1 in its repos, 
but atoms fail:

$ scilab -version
Scilab version "6.0.1.1518683525"
scilab-6.0.1

Clicking on the AtomManager icon gives me the following message:

"No ATOMS module is available. Please, check your Internet connection or 
make sure that your OS is compatible with ATOMS."

Together with a cryptic error message on the command line (hdf5 related):

HDF5-DIAG: Error detected in HDF5 (1.10.0-patch1) thread 139717342144384:

On the same system, my local install of scilab6.0.1 (ie fresh from 
scilab.org download page) works perfectly and I can use AtomsManager 
without any issue.
So, here comes the question: were should I report this bug?


Cheers,


Antoine
