Actually, the 'evaluate' link is 100% not working on Internet Explorer! Every time it fails. That's a good reason to install Firefox on Windows :-) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group

I've just taken a break from trying to debug the problem where notebook fails to respond to clicks on 'evaluate' to try out some bits of Sage that I'd not yet used: symbolic algebra. I had typed in a simple bit of code {{{ var('a'); var('b'); var('c') | }}} {{{ c = pi - a - b | }}} The first cell

I've been doing some more investigating this problem. William has reported it in Opera and I've just been testing using Internet Explorer (yuk). I started Wireshark (used to be called Ethereal) to monitor traffic between my rarely-used Windows box and my Linux laptop which is running the notebook

Further info: I've retried it a large number of times and it only happens occasionally. It's not related to any particular cell or content as I have seen it on several different cells during this testing. I managed to grab a copy of 'view page source' while it was hung up but can't see anything ob

I've just got round to using the notebook under 2.10.alpha4 and find that my problem about cells occasionally not evaluating is still happening there. I checked the Firefox error console and note that there is an error message there which says: async_callback is not defined although it must be o

Something weird going on. It's now started working! The cell was way down on a worksheet and I wondered if that had anything to do with it so I moved the statement to the top cell and re-ran it and it was OK there. Then I moved down to the bottom again and it now works there also. Looks like it m

OK, I've just opened a new worksheet, typed 2+2 into the cell and then clicked on 'evaluate'. Nothing appeared, cursor disappeared. Cleared error log (which had quite a few moans about things from groups.google.com), returned to worksheet and clicked in the cell, then on evaluate. This time it wo

2008-01-14 Thread bill.p
Using my recently installed 2.10.alpha1 version I noted that the active cell now has an 'evaluate' label below it. This seemd to work fine OK, but as I have used it a bit more it sometimes leaves me in an odd state - no cursor, no green bar to show evaluation. Clicking on the cell and pressing se

Having said the above - I now find that the notebook doesn't start up. Invoking sage -notebook >notebook.log 2>&1 & starts up a process in the background OK, but nothing appears on my browser (Firefox) as it did under previous release. Checking notebook.log I found: 2008/01/13 17:53 +0100 [

Just a belated report on 2.10.alpha1. Built and installed on my Equium laptop: Intel Celeron 2.93GHz processor, 512 Mb memory, running Ubuntu 7.04. All built OK, but I've lost the timing info (it did seem to take a long time). Ran 'make test' which took 4831.9 seconds, but reported the above erro

Somewhat belated report - I've built 2.10.alpha1 and, apart from the above bug reported by Jaap, all looks fine on my Ubuntu 7.04 system. It took quite a long time to build, but unfortunately I've lost the timing! I ran 'make test' and got the above bug. Managed to locate the ticket (eventually) a

John, I know about the GPL, but I always like to ask first! :-) I had downloaded the binary-only version, and found the .spkg file, but it's been replaced with a short text which says that it's just there as a place-holder. I've downloaded the full source now, thank goodness I'm on broadband. Yo

John, I'm interested in doing some work in this. I've just had a test run of point-search and would like to look at the source if that's OK. The version of Sage I installed doesn't include the source so I thought I'd look on the Sage website, but can't locate it there either. Am I looking in the w
