Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): octave-3.8.2-20.el7.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run octave 2. plot(1) Actual results: segv Expected results: runs Additional info: octave-4.2.2-1.fc27.x86_64 works on F27 works correctly but running 3.8.2 in either a VM or xhosted over SSH crashes as enumerated above.
3.8.2 is an ancient version and can't be updated as per the EPEL update policy. As a workaround, use the gnuplot backend: > graphics_toolkit('gnuplot') > plot(1) You can set it as default in your .octaverc
