Any one use octave while taking a matlab class? I am currently in MATLAB but cant offord the software and there are no trials of it. The studernt edition is still expensive and i need to save money. I have been going in during math class to do matlab homework but i cant keep skipping math since i am a mechanical engineer.

I am working on finding a way to print my homework from work. This place is strict on security but cant seem to figure out how to block ssl to my home box. So with homework i cannot access a printer here at work so i just use the MS xps printer to save the files and then ftp them to my box. Then i print from the command line. Just wondering if there is a way to convert a xps file to something else that i can print via ghostscript or something.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI need to set up permissions for matlab (at least I think permissions is the problem). I haven't been able to find any conclusive instructions how to set permissions and the advice I see are often confusing or contradictory. I have installed matlab (64-bit version) using root account as that was recommended by the installer and everything seems fine except for the error message I got after installation:
[root@localhost User]# /mnt/dvd/install
The following messages were written to standard error while running 'xsetup' the X Window System version of 'install'.
xsetup: Unable to load required font.
Warning: This program is an suid-root program or is being run by the root user. The full text of the error or warning message cannot be safely formatted in this environment. You may get a more descriptive message by running the program as a non-root user or by removing the suid bit on the executable.
Warning: Cannot convert string "%s" to type %s
Check the content of the installation output file (backend):
/usr/local/lib64/matlab/install_matlab.out
Error messages found:
Warning: Permission Problem With MATLAB Files!
| Checked some files in your MATLAB root directory. These are bad:|
-r--r--r--. (not world readable) - ./toolbox/matlab/general/diary.m .....
Can I set up permissions to make it work afterwards? If so - how? I see the error message talking about the permissions being -r--r--r-- which I guess is only readable to all users. But should I set permissions to folders, executables or both? Was there anything I could have done before installation to make this work? I'm rather new to linux though I feel quite comfortable to work with the terminal. My system is fedora 13.
I found this excellent resource: [URL]. Though I'm still not sure how to set up permissions and I'm a bit hesitant as I don't want to create any security holes in my system. Would it be enough for me to give executable rights for my user to the program files in usr/local/bin? Now that I look at the permissions it seems I already have permission (through others...?) to the mentioned files.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI currently work at a lab which uses Matlab to do calculations that take weeks. We're having problems monitoring Matlab outside of the lab. Specifically, what we would like would be to have Matlab run on a linux computer in the lab and be able to check up on it every so often. We've tried playing around with X server and are going to try VNC when there's time.

To anyone who got octave: The issue: whenever I call the function "dmperm", it gives me the following
Code:
error: dmperm: not available in this version of Octave
Typing dmperm(3) gives that. However, dmperm alone gives some instructions on how to use this. So it is seemingly there.
Getting the same thing? What I got is octave 3.4.0, on openSUSE 11.4 x86-64. I tried with the one in repos contrib, the one in packman, and the one in contrib:Factory. Same outcome. It could be that there is some missing dependencies that were not specified by the packager, perhaps. This older post Octave - General - dmperm mentioned some packages. Things I did not have I got installed: libumfpack5 umfpack-devel bison flex I could not install "umfpack" as such. It is a source package. It still does not work..........
I'm trying to download ocatve, and on the gnu.org website there are two file packages available. There is a "tar.gz" and a "tar.bz2". Are these two packages different versions of the same thing? Or are both of these packages necessary? And...if there is a difference, which package would be more suitable for Hardy 8.04?

I am trying to install matlab R2011a student edition in Fedora 15, 64 bits system. This version of matlab do not support 64 bits linux out of the box, but can be installed by adding -glnx86 as an argumenof the installing script.
However after running the installation script I receive the following error message:

When I launch it with the command "octave" on my shell, this is the message I receive: "octave: error while loading shared libraries: liboctave.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory".

I have recently installed Octave on my desktop and I am very busy with RTFM ATM.However, this manual is huge and I could not find an answer to my problem. What I basically want to do is initialize a vector like
Code:
a=[]
for i 1:100
a = [ a i ]
endfor
Now my problem is that this will call the pager and I have to hit 'q' to get my prompt back. I know I can turn it off but the screen will still get cluttered with tons of output.Is there a way to initialize 'a' quietly without any screen output?

I have been trying to install MATLAB 2008b as a standalone version; however, every time when the process runs to 18% it shows an error as follows: "There was an error extracting the archives for MATLAB compiler. Chceck that you have enough disk space and rerun the installer."
I did have checked the disk space which is much more than enough. I have also changed few different disks that are way more than enough as well, about 5GB at least, but this error still popped out when it runs to 18%.
can anyone explain me step by step process of installing octave on ubuntu 10.04?

What can I do? Is it some problem with Java?
I'm suddenly having an odd problem after running Matlab successfully on my 10.10 system for a while.When I try to open Matlab now with
Code:
matlab -glnx86 -desktop
matlab only opens in console mode and doesn't load the jvm desktop. It doesn't report any errors. The command
Code:
version('-java');
gives no response.
If I try to run a command in the console such as plot, I get the following warning: Code: Warning: This functionality is no longer supported under the -nojvm startup option So, matlab is somehow starting with the -nojvm option even though I'm explicitly telling it not to with the -desktop flag. I don't know how this has suddenly changed today. When I first set Matlab up on Maverick a few weeks ago I followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MATLAB to get the java stuff working properly. Does anyone have ideas on where -nojvm might be implicitly set or log files I can access to give me more info on why this might be happening?
