Package: octave3.0 Version: 1:3.0.1-6lenny3 Severity: normal How to reproduce: shell> mkdir -p ~/octave shell> unset DISPLAY octave> edit home "~/octave" octave> edit mode "sync" octave> EDITOR ans = vim octave> edit f.m Vim: Warning: Output is not to a terminal
Workarround: Use gvim or emacs with X window support. Problem seems to be related to RETURN_OUTPUT parameter of the system() function. Compare, for example, octave> system("vim test.m") vs octave> system("vim test.m",[]) # edit() uses system() like this -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages octave3.0 depends on: ii libatlas3gf-base [libl 3.6.0-22 Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra ii libblas3gf [libblas.so 1.2-2 Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines 3 ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcurl3-gnutls 7.18.2-8lenny2 Multi-protocol file transfer libra pi libfftw3-3 3.1.2-3.1 library for computing Fast Fourier ii libgcc1 1:4.3.2-1.1 GCC support library ii libgfortran3 4.3.2-1.1 Runtime library for GNU Fortran ap ii libglpk0 4.29-2 linear programming kit with intege ii libhdf5-openmpi-1.6.6- 1.6.6-4 Hierarchical Data Format 5 (HDF5) ii liblapack3gf [liblapac 3.1.1-1 library of linear algebra routines ii libncurses5 5.7+20081213-1 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libpcre3 7.6-2.1 Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expressi ii libqhull5 2003.1-9lenny1 calculate convex hulls and related ii libreadline5 5.2-3.1 GNU readline and history libraries ii libstdc++6 4.3.2-1.1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libsuitesparse-3.1.0 3.1.0-3 collection of libraries for comput ii texinfo 4.11.dfsg.1-4 Documentation system for on-line i ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime Versions of packages octave3.0 recommends: ii gnuplot 4.2.2-1.2 A command-line driven interactive ii libatlas3gf-base 3.6.0-22 Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Versions of packages octave3.0 suggests: ii octave3.0-emacsen 1:3.0.1-6lenny3 Emacs support for the GNU Octave l ii octave3.0-headers 1:3.0.1-6lenny3 header files for the GNU Octave la ii octave3.0-info 1:3.0.1-6lenny3 GNU Info documentation on the GNU -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
