Hi. I just installed Ubuntu 12.10 in my computer and then installed sage for Ubuntu 12.04 (I am very new to both Linux and Sage). I can open Sage in my machine using the notebook interface, but, for one thing, it doesn't plot. I copied bellow what I get when I enter 'plot(x^2)'. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

This could be due to using the binary for the different Ubuntu version; these binaries tend to be very finicky... Luckily, Sage isn't very hard to build from source!

After seeing these comments a friend of mine suggested:

sudo apt-get install python-numpy

It seems to have worked (but I don't know why), I mean at least now it plots. There are no other problems that I am aware of now.

Thanks everybody!

Like kcrisman says in the comment, I would definitely recommend compiling Sage rather than trying to run a version of Sage built for a different version of Ubuntu.
