[sage-support] Those cookies again...

2010-08-21 Thread kcrisman
I don't know that we've had as many people complaining about cookies
recently.  Maybe this has been fixed.

Unfortunately, we just upgraded our campus server to 4.3 (the latest
VMWare image that we hadn't heard problems about) and apparently it is
hexed by the cookie issue (namely, that it wants you to delete Sage
cookies before it actually lets you log in).

This is particularly vexing because I can't get it to let me log in at
all.  I can even get rid of all Sage cookies, restart the browser
(Safari), go to the notebook server, then delete the one cookie I get
there, and STILL it doesn't let me log in.

Sysadmin has found possible workaround of deleting history of the
browser.  This is fine in a lab, but potentially very crippling for
those of us who rely on auto-completion of often-visited sites.
Sysadmin is also very unlikely to try 4.5.2 VMWare image after recent
reports of it not being so hot, though I think those may have been
exaggerated - and anyhow he has a lot to do with the start of classes.

Is it just conceivable that there is something we can configure with
the server and/or some patch we can apply from within the VMWare image
to fix this?  Again, this is 4.3, my apologies.  I am really hesitant
to use this in class when I can't even make it work on my own computer
properly.  I think I now start to understand the arguments about
rather having one version that works rather than constant upgrades...

Thanks,
- kcrisman

You can add the following to your init.sage:

from sagenb.misc.support import automatic_names
automatic_names(True)

2010-08-21 Thread Oscar Lazo
I have now found out about the automatic_names option, that makes
variables be automatically declared.

Unfortunately this is not available in the command line, so editing
~/.sage/init.sage will not work. Can this too be set as a default?

thanks

I have posted a new question now. My impression is that the problem
was related to my GoogleID authentification, since I was working with
two ID's at the time.

Hi Oscar,

Could you tell us a little more about what fails when you try
ask.sagemath.org?  Do you get any error message?  At least one tag is
required for every question, so did you include a tag?

thanks,
Niles

In your "~/.sage/init.sage" file, add the line
"implicit_multiplication(True)".  Whenever you start up Sage, file
will be run, turning on implicit multiplication for you.

[sage-support] How can I make implicit_multiplication default?

2010-08-21 Thread Oscar Lazo
implicit_multiplication is very time-saving, and a much more natural way 
to write things. I'd love it to be default.


BTW: I could not post this to ask.sagemath. I click in "ask your 
question" and it doesn't get posted.


thanks

Oscar
