When I start Octave, on the command window I see this:
However, after I run some commands, I can see they are in history and they do execute. I can see the text if I copy-paste it somewhere.
How can I make the command window text visible?
I wonder how to execute "octave --force-gui" (3.8.1) in Ubuntu (14.04) from the graphical interface without having to go through the terminal?
(The default icon in the dock bar executes "octave" which is okay but because there is nowadays a nice GUI I want to work in it..!)
Yet again I am to turn to this wonderful resource available to me and ask, how do I install the latest version of GNU Octave (not Octave 3.2.4 -- the one available in the software centre)?
I want to install Octave on my Ubuntu LTS with apt-get. The problem is that the official repositories list only Octave 3.0 and Octave 3.2, whereas the latest Octave is Octave 3.6.
How do I update the repositories of apt-get to get Octave 3.6?
At this point, octave 3.2 is the version available for directly installation in ubuntu 12.04. But latest stable octave is 3.6.1 now.
Will Octave 3.6.1 be packaged for ubuntu 12.04?
