SUMMARY In pinebook manjaro, updated to the latest stable updates, the inability to produce any fitting analysis and plotting xy curve from a mathematical equation shows that they both should stem from the same problem. Although during fitting, the log says that it was successful, there's no such fitting drawn on the graph of said data. This problem was repeated successfully each time. I've double check the dependencies on the file and double check with requirements on compiling labplot2, however did not try to compile it myself since i'm just a regular linux user and haven't dabbled with the deeper stuff. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. run labplot2 in pinebook 2. input any data from any dataset collection 3. plot the graph successfully 4. attempt to fit data linearly, realize that although fitting logs says that it was successful, there's nothing added to the graph. 5. attempt to create xy plot from mathematical equation, the input box remains red and the recalculate button remains greyed out, therefore impossible to plot. OBSERVED RESULT no fitting line and no xy curve from mathematical equation successfully drawn on graph EXPECTED RESULT fitting line and xy curve from mathematical equation drawn on graph, alongside raw data SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The reported problems may be explained by a parser problem on ARM platforms. I don't have access to any ARM system myself so anyone reproducing this on ARM would be welcome. Also comparing to Manjaro x86-64 would be great. Which Manjaro version do you have? There will be some updates on the parser code in 2.8.1 so please try again when 2.8.1 is available.
I can confirm this bug to be not exclusively limited to pinebooks or arm. I have the same problem on an HP laptop with amd64 architecture and Debian unstable. Labplot does not perform fits with custom equations, the field for the custom equation stays red and no fit appears on the worksheet. After trying to fit with a custom equation fitting with the predefined models like polynomial is also impossible. I can also confirm the problem with plotting an xy-curve form a mathematical equation, the field for entering the equation stays red no matter what and no curve appears on the worksheet. SOFTWARE / OS VERSIONS: Labplot Version: 2.8.1 Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.74.0 Qt Version: 5.15.1 Kernel Version: 5.9.7-towo.1-siduction-amd64 OS Type: 64-bit
I was able to reproduce the problem on Debian testing now. I will take a closer look.
