[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #55584] "There is no disk in the drive. " error message displayed after returning from sleep in Windows 8.1 x64

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #55584 (project octave):

Cheers, Philip.  

As you are aware, my first thought was that Octave was hardwired to look for
something on F:.  This idea was inconsistent with the fact that other users
are apparently not seeing this.  

The lag from opening the laptop cover until the modem reconnects is a good
idea.  Although it's a little unexpected too, given I haven't see anything
similar from other applications (whether webs browsers or various updaters). 

_[I am assuming at this point that the error message was generated upon
waking, rather than upon sleeping or while sleeping.]_

Perhaps it's related to running Octave immediately after the installation. 
After closing that instance and running a new instance, I have now resumed
from laptop sleep 2 or 3 more times, and not seen the error message again.  

The only other thing I thought of was whether any of the commands I ran might
have triggered it.  Specifically:  
* trying to run tinv before installing the package;  
* running a command "help X" where X is not the name of an Octave command
(maybe checks online???);  
* running "help tinv" (refers to more info. online);
* running "help makedist" (maybe checks online for current availability/status
of this not-yet-implemented command???).  
But these were all momentary sort of events, that I wouldn't have thought
should have an enduring effect.
