Re: PSPP new line issue

[Matthias Faeth]

Hi Adam

Thanks for your reply. Ben promised to take a look into the flatpak rights issue but has not yet.

The new line issue is here also in the sources version, but noone else seems to have it. I wonder, because I tried it on 2 separate machines (Ubuntu + fedora).

So if it would be possible for you to pack Ben's latest version to an app image, this would help!

Thanks

Matthias

Hi Matthias,

Apologies I missed that this email was addressed to me as it was grouped with the other PSPP messages.

Have you been able to get this working?

Hi Ben

I installed 's latest flatpak PSPP on my fedora laptop to check out the new ctables feature.

Same issues as with my ubuntu flatpak

1. no access to other directories than /run/user/...

2. new line issue with the commands still the same (commands do not permit to be written over new line)

Anybody out there who is familiar with flatpak? I think this is a permissions issue. Please advise.

If not: Adam, would you be able to provide an appimage?

Hi Ben

today I tried to check the CR/LF issue

Opened PSPP and typed into a new window

ctables /table q1r1 +q1r2 by rec_q2.

which worked fine

but this did not work

ctables /table q1r1 +
  q1r2 by rec_q2.

this also not

ctables /table q1r1
  + q1r2 by rec_q2.

However this behaviour is not limited to Ctables

This works

 descriptives     /variables=q1r1.

this not:

  descriptives
       /variables=q1r1.

I experimented with "auto syntax" "batch syntax" and "interactive syntax" but no change. BTW What is this? I do not know this because my SPSS is Version 17 and does not have this (it has auto-complete and color-coding as options).

So I installed PSPP 1.4 via apt to check if this is version specific. Same behaviour. Maybe something odd with my Ubuntu (22.04 on X11)?

I'll check that later on another PC which runs on fedora on wayland.

Enclosed the spv from 1.4 (I cannot save anything from flatpak)
