This is troubling, thanks for reporting it. I have looked at the code, and the only way the message you quoted can appear is indeed if Octave has attempted a web request, either automatically at startup, or when the menu item under the News menu. Can you verify that the option is actually disabled? What does grep allow_web_connection ~/.config/octave/qt-settings yield? -- mike
