Public bug reported: When SageMath is installed, Octave Symbolic will crash at first call and then run properly.
Steps to reproduce on a fresh install of Focal Fossa. 1) Install 'octave-symbolic'. 2) Run Octave and create a symbolic object. ---within Octave--- pkg load symbolic x = sym('x') Symbolic pkg v2.8.0: Python communication link active, SymPy v1.5.1. ------------------- 3) Exit Octave and install 'sagemath'. 4) Repeat step 2). ---within Octave--- pkg load symbolic x = sym('x') Symbolic pkg v2.8.0: error: SymPy version Setting permissions of DOT_SAGE directory so only you can read and write it. 1.5.1 found but is too old (1.2 required) Try "sympref diagnose" for more information. error: called from assert_have_python_and_sympy at line 156 column 9 python_ipc_popen2 at line 79 column 5 python_ipc_driver at line 59 column 15 python_cmd at line 163 column 11 valid_sym_assumptions at line 38 column 10 assumptions at line 82 column 7 check_assumptions>ca_helper at line 41 column 15 check_assumptions at line 31 column 3 sym at line 353 column 7 ------------------- 5) In the same session, create a symbolic object anew. ---within Octave--- pkg load symbolic x = sym('x') Symbolic pkg v2.8.0: Python communication link active, SymPy v1.5.1. ------------------- ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 Package: octave-symbolic 2.8.0-2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.4.0-26.30-generic 5.4.30 Uname: Linux 5.4.0-26-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Sun Apr 26 01:43:43 2020 InstallationDate: Installed on 2020-04-24 (1 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS "Focal Fossa" - Release amd64 (20200423) PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=es_ES.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: octave-symbolic UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: octave-symbolic (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug focal -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1875111 Title: Crash at first run when SageMath is also installed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/octave-symbolic/+bug/1875111/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
