Re: [sage-support] sse2 problem resolved

2011-03-06 Thread Andrzej Giniewicz
Yes, I also had similar problems with plotting on Arch Linux when used
pre-built packages on my other machine which is two CPU Pentium III
machine. In my case it is said to be related to
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/9382 - because package
maintainer built it in a way that should work (with
SAGE_FAT_BINARY='yes').

For now, before #9382 (or #10226) reaches release and packages are
rebuilt with it which might happen for 4.7, just build from source and
it will always work (or maybe there are some sse2-less packages for
Ubuntu in some ppa? Not sure, cause I never used *buntu. Building from
source will solve your problem for sure)

 I encountered a problem when starting sage. I received the error

 As stated removal of the text file solved the problem provisionally.
 Sage did start and elementary functions could be performed but not for
 instance simple plotting.
 Installing several versions of ubuntu did not solve the problem as the
 problem comes with the processor. On my computer, I use
 AMD Sempron 3000+

 Wikipedia offers a list of processors that support SSE2

[sage-support] Re: modifying a plot after creation

2011-03-06 Thread Volker Braun
Doctests already set the randoms seed in sage and external programs to a 
fixed value before running.

 The Sage Jmol package works fine in the terminal. It just won't work in 
 the notebook (Safari and Firefox give the same error.). I'm not sure how 
 to manually upgrade the Sage Jmol package, but I will try if I can get 
 specific directions. I no longer have a Sage directory since I am using 
 the Sage-4.6.1-OSX-64bit-10.6 app

As for installing it, I think all you have to do is use the Sage Advanced 
under the Terminal Session menu and type/paste in 

-f http://www.uwosh.edu/faculty_staff/gutow/Jmol_for_SageNoteBook-1.1.4.spkg

and hit enter.  That's based on my reading of the other thread (I haven't done 
it) so it may be incorrect.

 You definitely have a directory!  It's just hidden.  Crtl-Click on the
 app and you'll get a menu with Show Package Contents in it.  Go to
 Contents/Resources and you'll find your sage directory.  I feel like
 there is even a way to get that to open from the app,
 
 If you click on the Development menu, there is a Reveal in Finder
 (which opens Finder to your Sage directory) or Reveal in Shell (which
 opens your shell in the sage directory).
 
 Good, so I was only spacey on one ticket tonight.  I really need to
 just use the app; but it's so easy to click on the Terminal and type
 sage now that I finally made an alias for it.

Well if the Terminal is easier then that's what you should use.  I know I do a 
lot :-)  I also use sage from within Emacs and I use the app.  Perhaps I have 
multiple personalities :-)

ramble
I was thinking though.  Perhaps there should be an option to start a new shell 
when you start the application (and/or click on it in the dock if there isn't 
one already started—like iTerm2 and Terminal do).  It would be nicer once 
iTerm2 is embeddable, but I think I might be able to get an applescript to 
approximate that behavior even now.

Thanks for the directions for installing it. I was able to get it installed in 
the spkg/optional directory but the graphics window still displays the same 
error. Unfortunately, now Jmol no longer works on the command line either so I 
apparently did something to break that as well.  I am deleting  the Sage app 
from the iMac and will try again at a later date.
