I have TeXmacs and Octave installed, both working properly otherwise. I have also added the path to octave executable (i.e. C:\Octave\Octave-5.1.0.0\mingw64\bin) to the Windows environment variables and octave runs in cmd/PowerShell terminals and Jupyter with no hassle. However, when running Octave inside TeXmacs through Toolbar > insert > session > octave it gets stuck on Busy..., the same reaction for any other commands as well:
Octave gets stuk on Busy... inside TeXmacs.
This is my environment:
TeXmacs 1.99.9
Octave 5.1.0 (installed through Chocolatey)
Windows 10 version 1809
I would appreciate if you could help me know what is the problem and how I can solve it.
P.S. I have reported this issue in the TeXmacs repo.
#Foad. I wrote an updated Octave plugin for Texmacs. I tried it on Windows, OSX and Linux, works on the systems I have access to. If you are interested to test it, you can download the zipped archive from here https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/texmacs-dev/2019-12/msg00005.html.
To install it, unzip the archive and copy the octaveX directory in the application plugins folder, alongside all the plugins that come with the standard Texmacs installation. Won’t work if installed in ~/.Texmacs/plugins. If everything goes fine, you should find a new Insert/Session/OctaveX menu (note: I changed the session name). If not, try to refresh the plugin system with the menu Tools/Update/Plugins. If you try it, please let me know, especially if you find troubles. In case I will do my best to fix them.
A fundamental prerequisite is a working octave-cli command in a operating system shell. Should be standard on Linux, may require some additional setup on Windows (environmental variables) or OSX (.bash_profile). You can find some help and more details under the menu Help/Plug-ins/OctaveX.
Concerning the error you found, as far I understand there are some issues with the standard distributed plugin: first, a .octaverc file is missing, so several variables are not initialized, in addition the Windows version calls a not existent file. Moreover the plotting functions are quite old and are not compatibile with Octave newer than version 2 (or maybe 3, anyway a quite old version).
You could try to run the command in
%TEXMACS_PATH%/plugins/octave/bin/tm_octave.bat
from the terminal to see what happens. There is a problem with this plugin and it does not work also on Mac but I do not know enough Octave to fix it. Somehow it does not manage to find the files which are in
%TEXMACS_PATH%/plugins/octave/octave
Please try to modify tm-start.m to look like
d=getenv("TEXMACS_PATH");
if (length(d) > 0)
addpath("tm:polynomial:plot")
tmrepl
endif
In windows, octave should be run using the scripts octave.bat (in the mingw64\bin directory of the octave install) or octave.vbs (in the install directory) for the GUI
You should not run octave.exe directly.
I am trying to install MySQL on a Windows 10 PC. I downloaded the installer package and followed those steps
Went to https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/
clicked on "MySQL Installer"
Scrolled to Generally Available(GA) Releases section
Clicked on "Windows (x86, 32-bit), MSI Installer" (mysql-installer-community-5.7.21.0.msi) and it started the download.
Once the download was complete, I double clicked on the installer and it gave a usual pop-up for any installation like,"Do you want this app to make changes to your device?" after clicking on "yes" for the answer to this question, it shows "Please wait while Windows configures MySQL-Installer-community" like below screenshot.
And then it keeps showing this installation progress bar for a very long time. Like more than 7-8 hours and the installation never completes
So it seems something is wrong as I don't think MySQL installation needs this long time. I tried to restart my computer and then delete any files related to MySQL from my computer and then started the whole process of installation again. But no luck yet
Anyone has any suggestion on this or did anyone face this kind of issue before? If so, is there a fix or a work around for this?
ok. So finally this is how I resolved my issue. And I found the solution at https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=82004 . The solution to this problem is to close an open "Windows installer" (the one using 0 memory and CPU) via task manager and the installation should begin running as expected.
Alternative solution: Use an administrator command prompt to run the MySQL installer on Windows 10. Details:
(Note: if you have any problems in the following steps, you can try to restart your computer. Then restart the steps.)
Right-click the Start/Windows icon in the bottom-left corner of Windows.
Click: Windows PowerShell (Admin).
A window asks: Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device? Click: Yes.
Change to the directory with the MySQL installer. For example, if you downloaded the MySQL installer, type something like:
cd C:\Users\my_username\Downloads\
(Note: To save some typing, you can type a few characters, and then press the tab key, to make Windows show you various auto-completion options.)
Run the MySQL installer. Type something like the following command---make sure to include the period and backslash at the beginning---and press Enter.
.\mysql-installer-community-8.0.11.0.msi
Note: The idea of using an administrator command prompt came from John Geffe, in the link below, which was cited in the answer written by the original poster (user8425592):

Bug #82004 MySQL Installer freezes during "Please wait while Windows configures..." phase

To get past this problem I had to run the .msi installer from an the
Administrator command prompt. Hopefully this helps someone in the
future.

John Geffe: Thanks! Your note on installing as an administrator seems
to have taken care of the problem.
this did the trick for me: https://ao.ms/mysql-community-server-msi-installer-hangs-on-windows-10/
run cmd (commandline) as Administrator
cd to your location that you downloaded the .MSI to
run the “msiexec” commandline tool with option “/i” as follows:
msiexec /i [replace with file name]
example: msiexec /i mysql-installer-community-5.7.20.0.msi
Another thing that worked for me was running the installer in compatibility mode for previous version of Windows. You can try that as well.
Go to the link you provided (the first one) and try installing MySql Workbench. That is the version that is commonly used, and one that I verified works in Windows 10. Here is the link: https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/
Obviously, make sure you choose the right architecture, have the correct permissions to install software, and have enough space on your hard drive, or on the machine you are installing to.
Please install "Update for Visual C++ 2013 and Visual C++ Redistributable Package" from Microsoft Site "http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/5/6/056DCDA9-D667-4E27-8001-8A0C6971D6B1/vcredist_x64.exe"
Please look here at https://support.microsoft.com/en-in/help/3179560/update-for-visual-c-2013-and-visual-c-redistributable-package
Yes, I also got the same problem on my Windows 10.
Followed the Powershell solution and it worked.
Just repeat the above:
Click Start on bottom left corner
Scroll down the application list until Windows Powershell
Select Windows Powershell again on sub-menu
Type in cd (to change to your .msi folder)
Type .\xxxxx.msi (this is the installer file name)
All good.
Once you install the above package run the installer again and do the steps. You will be able to install the mysql-installer-community-5.7.21.0 for 64 bit windows 10
closing Windows Installer instances using 0 memory and CPU helps me to get past this problem.
For me on Window-10 machine, there was a problem with the "mysql-connector-net-8.0.11.msi". I was not able to uninstall this and hence all my subsequent efforts to install MySQL were failing. I did the following to overcome this issue.
Re-installed "mysql-connector-net-8.0.11.msi" Get it here and used the 'Repair' option
Installed the "mysql-installer-web-community-8.0.11.0.msi"
These two things solved my problem. Hope this helps.
The reson is your antivirus didn't allow the mysql, so Disable protection(until restart),( in your task bar right side click the arrow and right click to antivirus,to select (Disable protection(until restart)).then restart your computer again install mysql installer it will work.
For this issue just run .msi file in command administration like
E:\mysql-installer-community-8.0.20.0.msi\
follow this link:
https://kb.foxitsoftware.com/hc/en-us/articles/360040660611-How-to-install-MSI-from-command-line-with-administrator
In my case, an upgrade to 5.7.29 on Windows 10 via mysql-installer-web-community-8.0.20.0.msi, the install froze "backing up the database". The log tab showed no activity for 8 minutes. I clicked on cancel, then at the "are you sure" prompt I declined to cancel, and all of a sudden the install was working again. Very strange...
I encountered the same problem, preparing but can never get started. Tried to close other installation programs with no use, but I took the inspiration and proceeded with restart the computer and it worked nicely. So, I think the issue is to get rid of everything that could be in the background running that somehow interferes the installation.
You should run the installer as an administrator but this specific installation may not provide an option for this. Some might have it but it's most likely that it's unavailable for many users. So you should run it in cmd or powershell. And don't forget to run these shells as an administrator coz that's the whole point here. Once there, navigate to the installer's location which usually is in the downloads directory and run it using this command ./name.msi
Make sure no other ongoing installation of this instance. Close it if there exists one and undo the changes made by uninstalling it from the panel. If still facing difficulties, try restarting your machine and repeat this procedure...
Have fun
I had the same Problem, A simple solution is to give access the "SYSTEM" to the msiserver...I know, this is hard to understand what I am saying....You can Simply see this Video and you will definitely find the answer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SdXMjXmnUk, It is a matter of just 3 minutes...
I encountered the same issue of taking too much time to install mysql community installer.I tried 3 times by cancelling the installation and restarting to perform a new installation.But had same issue. I tried 2 things
First to end all tasks associated with installation which I performed for installing mysql using Task Manager
Reinitiated the installation but didn't solved my issue.
Secondly tried to install through Windows Powershell as admin, which solved the problem.
Click on the Windows icon/start on the bottom left corner.
Right click and select the option Windows Powershell (Admin).
A pop up window will ask Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?....Click Yes.
Now cd to your downloads folder/wherever you downloaded the .msi file (For example cd C:\Users\MYPC\Downloads).
Once you reach to the folder where the .msi file is kept, run the following command.
.\mysql-installer-web-community-8.0.23.0.msi (Note: this is the version which I have downloaded, modify as your version).
Question
Due to the issue in Fix for Octave urlread causing Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with given CA certificates, I cannot install Octave packages on Windows.
Please suggest other ways to install. Particularly I would like to go through Gradients, Gradient Plots and Tangent Planes which requires Symbolic package.
EDIT: this bug is no longer present in Octave v4.2.1, and the issue described in the Question should no longer occur.
Yes, there appears to be a known issue logged on the bug tracker with the current release version of Octave (4.2.0) on windows being unable to connect to https due to the curl issue you identified in the linked discussions/questions. That bug report and the original help list discussion summarize the certificate issue and problem verification. It should be fixed in the next Octave release.
This, however, does not prevent you from installing packages. It only prevents you from using the program to go fetch packages to be installed. You are still able to go to the Octave Forge package site, manually download a package file, and then as described in the Octave manual and help for pkg run the install command.
E.g., you could download symbolic-2.4.0.tar.gz and save it to your current working directory. Then within octave, issue the following from the command line:
pkg install symbolic-2.4.0.tar.gz
NOTE: symbolic currently requires Python and Sympy installed. If you don't already have this on your Windows machine, the package maintainer has a separate self-contained package for Windows that can be obtained from the author's github repository. In this case you would download the package and run the command:
pkg install symbolic-win-py-bundle-2.4.0.zip
Another more tedious option would be for you to compile your own copy from development sources, as the fix has supposedly been pushed to the mxe-octave repository.
I tried to look up something simple like Package Control to determine if its version 2.x or 3.x installed, but even when browsing the Installed Packages folder, the only thing I could find was a created date of the plugin - created date shouldn't be used for version verification.
Checking out the website: https://packagecontrol.io/channel_v3.json it has a version number as part of the package, setting, but how would a Sublime User retrieve this for an installed package?
I don't imagine if there is any major difference between operating systems, but if you know of anything major (not available in one), please list.
In the command palette search for "Package Control: List Package" There you will see v<version number> under the package name.
I am thinking about installing Mercurial and TortoiseHG for our redhat linux server. I found out there are many package versions. I searched online and found out some people encounter incompatible problems when they install Mercurial and TortoiseHG. If anyone has successfully install TortoiseHG and Mercurial, may I know what versions you used for TortoiseHG and Mercurial ?
I used command "cat /etc/redhat-release" to find the version of my linux is"
Red Hat ENterprise Linux CLient release 5.3 (Tikarga) and the bits number is "x86_64". Python is version 2.4.3. I do not need to use the latest version as long as they are stable and compatible.
Thank you very much,
TortoiseHG is mainly known for being a Windows shell extention, but there also seems to be a Linux version.
Take a look at the description on the web site (I made the important parts bold):
TortoiseHg is a Windows shell extension and a series of applications for the Mercurial distributed revision control system. It also includes a Gnome/Nautilus extension and a CLI wrapper application so the TortoiseHg tools can be used on non-Windows platforms.
and:
Supported Platforms
Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7
Command line support via thg
Mac OS X port via source install
Gnome/Nautilus integration
Note the link in the second part.
Plus, there are non-Windows versions on the download page.
There is also this section in the release notes which describes which TortoiseHG version should be used with which Mercurial version if you have to install from source (which seems to be the case whan you're using Linux, as I understood it).
EDIT:
Sorry, but I have absolutely no clue about Linux, so I can't help you about the installation. What I can tell you is that msi files are usually Windows installer files.
As I said, I have no clue about Linux, but I can hardly imagine that you can get a Windows installer to work on Linux.
Where exactly did you see the TortoiseHG packages? The Nautilus link I posted above doesn't have any msi downloads (or I don't see them). The only msi downloads that I can find are the Windows-only downloads on the download page.
