Win7 64 SP2,
Completly new instalation of Julia and GR (gksqt.exe), after clean disk. Added only (and depended) one pacakges Plots. The error is sometimes with this seme data and code ! I.e. In the same loop somtimes is sometimes no !

Have you solved it now?

mkborregaard · 2018-08-23T18:56:38Z

I have a feeling this is a GR issue, not plots. What happens if you open a fresh session and do using GR? What if you try plotting with GR?

programistawpf · 2018-09-08T12:20:28Z

No, on new isntal Julia 0.6.2 on Win7 64 is stiil the same error. Paul W dniu 2018-08-23 o 19:30, Ding pisze:

Have the same error on Linux64, is there any update on this?

cmcaine · 2018-11-29T16:21:22Z

@aramirezreyes I had a similar issue on Linux and just had to install qt4. Are you sure you've got libQtGui?

aramirezreyes · 2018-11-30T17:35:39Z

@cmcaine Yes, I have it. It is some weird behavior that sometimes appear but sometimes no. I will try to find the minimum conditions to reproduce it.

heitorPB · 2019-04-01T10:14:36Z

I have the same problem in ArchLinux. The problem is a missing library:

HaoLi111 · 2019-08-27T03:40:24Z

Similar warning show up for Julia 1.1.0
when a sequence of plots (around 1e5 plots) are saved, after some time firewall prompt shows up and ask for permission for gksqt to get online.

The plots can be saved then with a relatively slow speed.
and the warning shows:

GKS: Open failed in routine OPEN_WS
GKS: GKS not in proper state. GKS must be either in the state WSOP or WSAC in routine ACTIVATE_WS
connect: No error
GKS: can't connect to GKS socket application

GKS: Open failed in routine OPEN_WS
GKS: GKS not in proper state. GKS must be either in the state WSOP or WSAC in routine ACTIVATE_WS

However if a relatively smaller quantity of plots are saved (less than around 1e4 plots) then this warning would not show up

Same problem:
Julia 1.3.1, Ubuntu 19.10:

(v1.3) pkg> st Plots
    Status `~/.julia/environments/v1.3/Project.toml`
  [28b8d3ca] GR v0.46.0
  [91a5bcdd] Plots v0.29.2

Tried to update to GR 0.47.0, but plots didn't like that (as in didn't allow to update because of version bounds)
@jheinen, any idea?

programistawpf · 2020-02-27T21:55:17Z

Yes, a seen it.
For WIN : gksqt.exe a set shortcut to this into \Startup (AUTOSTART)
localization in RUN: shell:common startup
It HELP :)

SimonDanisch · 2020-02-27T21:59:43Z

Seems one needs to install additional dependencies on linux:
https://gr-framework.org/julia.html#installation
Would be nice to have these instructions in an error if those libraries aren't found!

jheinen · 2020-02-28T09:18:14Z

I'd recommend to switch to a 1.x version. With GR we already support 2 dozen platforms, but there are personal and technical (CI/CD) limits somewhere.

If you don't have a GRDIR environment, you can use:

jheinen · 2020-02-28T10:29:52Z

I'm aware that there are problems with UTF characters in files used by GR.
As this doesn't apply to your system, I currently have no idea why gksqt is not started automatically. It works fine in several Windows boxes at our site, most of them Windows 10.

You could try to set an environment variable GKS_QT to the absolute path of your gksqt.exe binary and see what happens.

In your case something like:

set GKS_QT=C:\Users\PC\.julia\packages\GR\f1Iqi\deps\gr\bin\gksqt.exe

but using GR, plotting and saving works just fine.

ErikPillon · 2021-04-06T16:57:40Z

The same happened to me with my 1.6.0 julia on macOS BigSur version 11.2.3.

I solved the problem by simply adding the gr() backend to my script.

Hope this helps!

jheinen · 2021-04-09T05:57:02Z

Please update GR (to version 0.57.3) and the problems should be fixed.

spasmsagain · 2021-04-29T04:08:10Z

Hi

I've installed Julia 1.6.0 and Plots on a Window 10 64 bit machine.

I'm getting errors messages:

connect: No error
GKS: can't connect to GKS socket application

GKS: Open failed in routine OPEN_WS
GKS: GKS not in proper state. GKS must be either in the state WSOP or WSAC in routine ACTIVATE_WS
GKS: GKS not in proper state. GKS must be either in the state WSAC or SGOP in routine FILLAREA
GKS: GKS not in proper state. GKS must be either in the state WSAC or SGOP in routine FILLAREA

etc.

Further I've tried
add

C:\Users\Username\.julia\artifacts\c34a53538bc6c87c8b376c3f6d0d3248830003bc\bin

to the path

and setting GKS_QT

set GKS_QT=C:\Users\Username\.julia\artifacts\7cf489c280ce03e932b09698ef4d949827fd9c55\bin\gksqt.exe

but that only adds to problem as I now have

as a new a new error message

Question:
Why is the QT5 gksqt.exe binary installed in a different directory to the QT5.DLLS

I don't really to be adding weird path names to the PATH variables and having to set environmental variables with strange path names for this to work.

Reiterating this is on a Windows 10 laptop.

Regards

Guys. Please Help. I have the same error trying to use plot in my loptop. What can do to solve my issue

jheinen · 2021-05-21T02:11:51Z

What is your OS?

sajad-gh · 2021-05-21T08:13:29Z

Windows 10 Enterprise- 64bit
I installed the same atoms and Julia on my friend's loptop which has windows 7 . it works and I did my project but I want it on my loptop.
I also use ENV["GKSwstype"] = "100"
but that didnot work

joaquinmura · 2021-07-02T05:14:20Z

Same issue reported here. At least for me on Windows 10, the problem was that the antivirus blocked gksqt.exe. Unblocking makes it run ok.

jheinen · 2021-07-02T06:03:34Z

The problem should be fixed with the latest GR version.
