[Bug 1524251] Re: Octave crashes when opening an m file
I found a temporary solution to this problem.
If you want to just open a .m file in Octave's Editor and not execute it while
double clicking it, you can do the following:
1. Locate the .desktop file of GNU Octave in /use/share/applications (in
nautilus with root persimmions)
2. Right Click -> Properties; In the command field, replace the existing text
with :
octave --force-gui --persist --eval "edit %F"
For your understanding,
--force-gui forces octave to invoke the GUI
--persist tells octave to NOT exit after execution of command/script
--eval tells octave to execute the following command ("edit %F") in its
interpreter, which will open the file in its editor.
:D

[Bug 1524251] Re: Octave crashes when opening an m file
Ok, then what I believe you are seeing is the expected behavior in the current version of Octave. To explain a little further: Double-clicking an m file, say myfile.m, runs the command "octave --force-gui myfile.m". The current behavior of Octave 4.0 is to run the script defined in that file to completion, and then exit. This sounds like what you are seeing. If you instead run "octave --force-gui --persist myfile.m" then the Octave GUI will stay active and accept further interactive commands. If you'd like to propose different functionality for what Octave should do when an m file is double-clicked, it would be best to open a feature request bug report against the upstream project here: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=additem&group=octave -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1524251 Title: Octave crashes when opening an m file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/octave/+bug/1524251/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It happens with all .m files, created by Matlab or Octave. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1524251 Title: Octave crashes when opening an m file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/octave/+bug/1524251/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks for your bug report. Can you please provide the m file that you open in Octave that causes the behavior you are reporting? ** Changed in: octave (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1524251 Title: Octave crashes when opening an m file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/octave/+bug/1524251/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
