The notebook opens the same, apparently, as with the command 'notebook()'. > Also try: properties of the Icon, Application tab, Advanced options, > "Do not close when command exits". Watch for error messages. Right now I am in Gnome, and "Properties of the Icon" does not have an Application tab. I will switch to KDE and tell you later. > I have a certain suspicion, that sage tries to open a viewer, that > does not exist. > > You can set the viewer with the environment variable SAGE_BROWSER, > for example (one single line at the unix console): > SAGE_BROWSER=firefox sage -c "notebook(open_viewer=True)" > which execute the command after the -c option. OK. This is bash and Debian Etch has Iceweasel, not Firefox...iceweasel is in the path. Then I executed at the shell: export SAGE_BROWSER='iceweasel sage -c "notebook(open_viewer=True)"' This sets the SAGE_BROWSER environment variable, but does not improve making the icon work. > Also try: > sage -c "notebook()" This is curious. I get this output on the console: === The notebook files are stored in: /home/jakubi/.sage//sage_notebook ************************************************** * * * Open your web browser to http://localhost:8000 * * * ************************************************** 2008-07-15 13:09:22+0000 [-] Log opened. 2008-07-15 13:09:22+0000 [-] twistd 8.0.1 (/usr/local/sage-3.0.2- debian32-intelx86-i686-Linux/local/bin/python 2.5.2) starting up 2008-07-15 13:09:22+0000 [-] reactor class: <class 'twisted.internet.selectreactor.SelectReactor'> 2008-07-15 13:09:22+0000 [-] twisted.web2.channel.http.HTTPFactory starting on 8000 2008-07-15 13:09:22+0000 [-] Starting factory <twisted.web2.channel.http.HTTPFactory instance at 0xb6b33a4c> === Then a new Iceweasel window opens with the Sage group homepage (http:// www.sage.com/ ) in the first tab and my worksheet list (http:// localhost:8000/home/admin/) in the second tab.

It has not opened a Sage group tab (I will see again when I post and close Iceweasel).
