Richard, unfortunately emails to the bug tracker don't work. I'm copying what you posted here and closing this bug as invalid, seems like the nouveau driver does not provide OpenGL support that Octave needs.

>> Thank you for your reply, some details below. VLC plays video fine by the way, but clearly I need the Nvidia driver for hardware processing. So a Ubuntu/Nvidia problem, not an Octave problem.


>> It works fine now I've installed the Nvidia driver. Thanks again.

Thanks for the bug report. This is likely a video card thing, because many users do not have any problems on many versions of Ubuntu. What video card and graphics driver do you use?

I can't plot from Octave 4.0.0 in Ubuntu 14.04LTS, which I've just updated, The plot windows are created quickly, but scrambled. Works fine on my Windows7 machine. So is this a Ubuntu thing or an Octave thing?
