No scilab gui (Ubuntu 12.04) - user-interface

I installed scilab in Ubuntu 12.04. When I start in terminal or from KDE application menu, I only get a scilab console. Why don't I get the gui?

try install it,
apt-get install scilab
scilab-cli is just the console in a terminal.

It was some kind of X or QT problem. I'm using XFCE, but it works in KDE.

Installed Octave 4.2.1 with brew on MacOS; can't get it to run with a GUI

I installed Octave on my macOS Sierra using Homebrew with the command
brew install octave
and everything installed fine.
When I run Octave, however, it prints version 4.2.1, but I do not get the GUI nor can I force the GUI with octave --force-gui. No error message or warning is generated, the app just starts in the command line.
How do I get Octave to run with a GUI?
Run brew uninstall octave to removed the octave executables. Use MacPort instead of homebrew. Run 'port selfupgrade' and then 'port install octave'. It installs octave in the opt/local/bin directory. Type octave and it runs with the GUI. Version 4.2.1 was installed and seems to work fine.
Try running the command octave --gui instead of octave --force-gui.

How do i install xcode on my ubuntu machine?

I have Lenovo Ideapad310 laptop with Ubuntu OS. But for iOS development I want to install Xcode in my machine, so how can i install Xcode in my machine?
please anyone help me??
First: You can't install Xcode on Ubuntu it's restricted only for Mac OS.
Second: I assume you want Swift, which you can install it over terminal using this command
sudo apt-get install clang
If you installed the Swift toolchain on Linux to a directory other than the system root, you will need to run the following command, using the actual path of your Swift installation:
export PATH=/path/to/Swift/usr/bin:"${PATH}"
You can verify that you are running the expected version of Swift by entering the swift command and passing the --version flag:
swift --version
for IDE you might use Visual Studio Code and install Swift plugin.
Good Luck

OS X Terminal hangs installing vNext KVM after running "source kvm.sh"

I'm trying to install vNext on my Macbook but when I run source kvm.sh the terminal just hangs.
My setup:
OSX 10.9.5 (Mavericks)
Mono 3.10.0
My problem:
I followed the instructions for installing vNext on OS X from the GitHub repo:
https://github.com/aspnet/Home
Essentially:
brew tap aspnet/k
brew install kvm
source kvm.sh
Everything seems to go fine until the step where I run source kvm.sh, which hangs the terminal with a message "[Process completed]".
Adding source kvm.sh to ~/.zshrc file starts the terminal and immediately hangs it once that runs.
What I've tried:
I uninstalled kvm (brew uninstall kvm) and aspnet/k (brew untap aspnet/k) and deleted the directory ~/.kre, then tried reinstalling it all again.
No luck.
Any ideas? Here's a screenshot:
The kvm currently not working in ZSH, Running it under /bin/bash should work quite well.
Also, make sure you remove anything to do with kvm from your .zshrc file and you should be good to go again.
according to https://github.com/aspnet/kvm/issues/83 , you can replace the kvm.sh file with the version from dev branch, which can be found under https://github.com/aspnet/kvm/blob/dev/src/kvm.sh , and zsh should be happy with it afterwards.
Worked for me.

How to install MATLAB 2012b Mac OSX 10.9.2?

I'm trying to install MATLAB 2012b on my mac OSX 10.9.2 but when I run the installer I get the message:
"You can’t open the application “InstallForMacOSX” because PowerPC
applications are no longer supported".
Is there anyway I could install the software?
Try to install XQuartz. Upgrading to Matlab R2014a will not do the trick, because you will have to go through the same process (however, Matlab 2013a does not need XQuartz installed strangely enough).

Mavericks - Trying to install XQuartz X11 for Inkscape, "image not found"

So I'm trying to install Inkscape onto my Mac, which is running on Mavericks. Upon trying to open, i'm told that I need to install X11 and am forwarded to this site http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/X112.7.5. Downloaded the file, when trying to open i'm told that the image can't be found. How can I get X11 + Inkscape running?! Thanks for your help in advance!
When Inkscape asks
Where is X11?
I had to go to Applications -> Utilities -> X11
The reason you think it did not work is because the first time Inkscape opens, it takes up to a minute and a half. It just seems to sit there, doing nothing, but it will open for sure. Once it opens, close it completely via XQuartz, then re-open it and it will open in 2-3 seconds. Use this direct link for the latest version of XQuartz 2.7.11.
https://www.xquartz.org
Works just fine for Mavericks 10.9.5, no worries. If not, update to OS X 10.9.5 via AppStore.
Install the X11 2.7.4 from here. I had to restart after this install, but it worked like a charm. MATLAB took forever to open the first round, but it eventually did and now everything seems OK.
For the record, I'm running 10.9.1 on a 2009 MacbookPro. Had the same problem after I upgraded to Mavricks and could not install X11, the 2.7.5 Package.
