I think you need to run a couple of tests to see where the problem
comes from.<br>
Here is what I propose:<br>
<br>
1) Write the smallest script that raises the issue: like a script
with just "scf()" or "plot()" then some other commands.<br>
2) Try to run this script locally on the linux box to see if the
problem is still present. If not this means your problem is linked
with the remote use of scilab.<br>
2bis) If the problem is due to the remote connection, try to run
scilab remotely from another linux box (to rule out cygwin as a
possible cause).<br>
3) Try to run remotely scilab -nw (to avoid the fancy console as
you call it). See if you script still causes an issue.<br>
4) Try to run the last official version of scilab and also maybe
the last nightly build of the master branch to see if the issue is
still there.<br>
5) Report on your progress here and we'll try to see whether it's
a scilab bug, a debian bug or something else.<br>

<pre wrap="">I work in a windows environment.(xp) I usually use scilab on a linux
computer, with display set to the windows
box via the cygwin xserver. I have used this configuration happily with
scilab 4.0. Never an issue.
Open a cygwin xterminal on the xp box
log into linux box with ssh -Y in that xterminal
type "scilab" into the xterminal
All works well. The linux box runs an old version of mandrake
uname -a
Linux dataserver.energetiq.com 2.6.11-6mdk #1 Tue Mar 22 16:04:32 CET 2005
i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz unknown GNU/Linux
I have used this scheme for years, running "production" code for data
analysis.
Recently I decided to upgrade the linux machine to a more modern
distribution -- Mint Debian.
$ uname -a
Linux dataserver1 3.8.0-19-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 17 18:19:42 UTC
2013 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux
I installed scilab 5.x - to get access to some of the newer atoms
toolboxes.
I should say this is the debian scilab installed via apt-get.
$ scilab -version
Scilab version "5.4.1.1364571296"
scilab-5.4.1
Now, if I start up scilab, the fancy new console comes up and works until
I plot once. Or do anything to bring up a plot window. (eg, demo
After that I can no longer type into the console. cut/paste with the
mouse works; but keyboard is dead,
when typing into the scilab window. Works fine on all other xterms.
What can I do to fix this?
Thanks,
Steve
