Still, Octave refused to properly startup, which could be fixed by removing the qt-settings file from an earlier version. So, somehow Qt's mechanism as it is implemented in Octave is unreliable.I just had similar experience: 1. Started octave (current devel system on Fedora 17 x86_64). It failed to start properly. 2. Removed the qt_settings file. 3. Started octave, which came up in full screen mode. Not an appropriate choice, in my view. 4. I tried left clicking on one of the previous commands in the command history panel on the left. Octave shut down without any indication of cause. It would help debugging if some indication of the cause could be written somewhere when the system crashes. 5. In this case, unlike previous versions, there were no zombie processes left behind. The good news is that the startup time is MUCH shorter than bringing up Matlab even when using matlab -nodesktop. It may be too early to ask for serious work on stability, but this will be needed in the end. Michael |
