When I did that, this message did not appear at startup in the Scilab command window:

"at line 56 of function xmlGetValues ( /usr/local/scilab/scilab-6.1.1/share/scilab/modules/xml/macros/xmlGetValues.sci line 69 ) at line 22 of function help ( /usr/local/scilab/scilab-6.1.1/share/scilab/modules/helptools/macros/help.sci line 34 )

xmlGetValues: Invalid XPath request."

However, the messages in the terminal remained, seemingly (from the content) because of the nVidia graphics driver.

After changing to "X.Org X server -- Noveau display driver from xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (open source)" they did not appear.

So, *with the nVidia driver*, if I start Scilab from a .desktop-file with JAVA_OPTIONS..., then no error messages are visible and the graphics seem to work.

Is there any possible disadvantage?

Regards
Stefan

Can you try, on the command line :

_JAVA_OPTIONS="-Djogl.disable.openglarbcontext=1" ./bin/scilab &

Hi Stéphane,

Thank you very much, your command worked!
$ sudo apt install libtinfo5

Then Scilab started OK, but with many messages:

Hi Stefan,

Did you try to google with

"libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

There is a bunch of possible fixes. did you try :

sudo apt install libtinfo5

?
