URL: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?54840> Summary: Mysterious Error: Unable to revert mtime: /usr/share/fonts/* Project: GNU Octave Submitted by: None Submitted on: Mon 15 Oct 2018 11:50:46 AM UTC Category: Interpreter Severity: 3 - Normal Priority: 5 - Normal Item Group: Unexpected Error Status: None Assigned to: None Originator Name: Stuart Originator Email: address@hidden Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Release: 4.4.1 Operating System: GNU/Linux _______________________________________________________ Details: Reproducible with Octave 4.4.1 on Manjaro 17.0 fresh install Not reproducible on with Octave 4.2.2 on Ubuntu Server 18.04 Octave spews this string of errors semi-randomly Unable to revert mtime: /usr/share/fonts/oiio Unable to revert mtime: /usr/share/fonts/util Unable to revert mtime: /usr/share/fonts/encodings/large Unable to revert mtime: /usr/share/fonts/100dpi Unable to revert mtime: /usr/share/fonts/75dpi Unable to revert mtime: /usr/share/fonts/oiio This does not affect the usability of the program from CLI but it seems to be correlated with the file browser in the GUI being borked. Workarounds: - Run Octave as Root (also fixes the file browser issue) - ignore the error and press enter for a fresh prompt To me this looks like Octave is modifying font files and trying to hide that it did?? I haven't tested 4.4.1 on a different distro, maybe this is all Manjaro's fault but some documentation on this error would be nice. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?54840> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
