OpenJDK VM (used to be IceTea) is the default with Ubuntu and it does work with Jmol. So if things don't work after the patch there is something else wrong with your installation. Jonathan On May 21, 9:36 am, Jonathan wrote: > OK, I found an Ubuntu VM (11.04) that I hadn't killed.  With the pa

OK, I found an Ubuntu VM (11.04) that I hadn't killed. With the patch for launching Jmol from the command line and the Sun Java it definitely works. If you want 4.6.2 to work apply the patch. If that doesn't fix it you will also have to switch from the default JavaVM to the Sun/Oracle version.

Which java do you have installed? The default with Ubuntu is IcedTea. Last time I checked this was working with the patch, but that could be the problem. Jmol (the 3D application that is launched) is only verified against the Oracle/Sun JavaVM. If you are using IceTea try switching to the Oracl

Thanks, I tried that and it is no better. I would REALLY like to help with this IF it is a bug, but there is at least a chance that I have some other system problem(s) and/or that have a bad build. Since 4.7 is "imminent" it probably isn't worth re-building 4.6.2, trying to re-create the problem, w

Although I have only been running UBUNTU 11.04 for a week or two there are about 112 meg of updates outstanding, at least two of which are to Firefox. I am updating in the hope that java MIGHT be incidentally fixed and will try again. Failing that I will probably try 4.7 - might even wait for the "

Often problems with plot3d boil down to Java issues. There is also another issue that has been fixed in the 4.7 series (see http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/9232) that had to do with this; 4.7.rc2 (which will probably be nearly identical to the released 4.7) has this fix. Or you could ju

This looks at least a LITTLE BIT like the trouble I am having under UBUNTU 11.04 I am running within VirtualBox under Windows Vista on an amd64 laptop, which has worked very well previously. Plot3d has worked for me in previous releases of SAGE and VirtualBox with various distros of Linux, mostly D
