Public bug reported: I installed ferret-vis, and started it with the command ferret_c. Then this happens:
yes? use levitus_climatology yes? sh data currently SET data sets: 1> /usr/share/ferret-vis/data/levitus_climatology.cdf (default) name title I J K L TEMP TEMPERATURE 1:360 1:180 1:20 ... SALT SALINITY 1:360 1:180 1:20 ... yes? shade salt[k=1] *** NOTE: Fonts directory is undefined. Check the Ferret environment. **ERROR: file undefined or not found: fondat.dat Ferret crashes, I get returned to the bash prompt. However, the file head ${FER_FONTS}/fondat.dat is present and seems OK. Therefore I did not expect this error message (and crash). The problem does not occur when I download Ferret from the upstream website and following http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret/downloads /ferret-installation-and-update-guide I installed the latest ferret-vis from 'artful' but I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial). The reason was this and other problems with previous version (both installed from the official repositories on the respective Debian and Ubuntu releases): https://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=862932 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: ferret-vis 7.1-1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.10.0-24.28~16.04.1-generic 4.10.15 Uname: Linux 4.10.0-24-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.6 Architecture: amd64 Date: Wed Jun 28 17:33:35 2017 JournalErrors: Error: command ['journalctl', '-b', '--priority=warning', '--lines=1000'] failed with exit code 1: Hint: You are currently not seeing messages from other users and the system.
