I originally asked this question here but didn't get a satisfactory answer.
I am using Mathematica 8.0.1.0 on Ubuntu 11.10. I created a 3D plot from an
NDSolve
output and when I tried to move it about with my mouse, Mathematica completely crashed and reported aSIGSEGV
error.This error is totally reproducible. What is the reason for this? Is this version of Mathematica not stable for Ubuntu 11.10?
Any suggestions?
It doesn't really matter what I try to plot. Manipulating said plot with my mouse crashes mathematica. Plot3D[Sin[x + y^2], {x, -3, 3}, {y, -2, 2}]
for instance would crash if I moved the resulting plot around with my mouse pointer.
Edit 1:
The answer on stackoverflow "works". However, it makes mathematica run real slow for some reason.
I have submitted a ticket (TS 3197 in case there is someone here from Wolfram mathematica....) to the people at wolfram and have also tried pressing the issue but haven't received an answer.
