Mathematica will not start

[wojo1086]

Every time i try to open Mathematica, it seems to freeze on the "Initializing" screen, the one with the red splash thing. It either freezes at "Initializing cell styles..." or "Initializing notebook..." How do i go about fixing this? Is this common? Also, I am using the latest release of Raspbian Debian Wheezy, as of July 17, 2014. It came pre-installed on this release.

Did you ever fix this? I am getting it too, on two consecutive fresh installs of Raspbian on the RPi2.

I've encountered this issue on a Pi 2 model B.

I found deleting the directory .WolframEngine (in your home directory; use

Code: Select all

rm -rf .WolframEngine

or to use the file manager to do it, you will first need to type CTRL-h to turn on the showing of hidden files then delete it in the usual way.

I have the same problem on my Pi 2. Removed the packages and reinstalled them, tried "rm -rf .WolframEngine" but still nothing... it just hangs somewhere during initialization... Very annoying.

Any ideas/suggestions further?

Thanks in advance.
