Evidently it is the browser. I am using firefox 3.6.13 on ubuntu 10.10.

So in my .bashrc file I changed the sage browser to opera. Using Opera, the notebook works just fine, with no other changes.

I don't know why it doesn't work in firefox, but don't mind using Opera.

I took kcrisman's advice and tried the online sage notebook using firefox. I got the following message "It looks like jsMath failed to set up properly (error code -7). I will try to keep going, but it could get ugly." I went ahead anyway. To my surprise the 'evaluate' link appeared anyway and seemed to work ok. But the Save, Save & quit, and Discard & quit buttons did not work.

Ah, I'm very new to this or I would have immediately noticed that there is no 'evaluate' link.

The problem then is that there is no 'evaluate' link following the cell. I did try shift-enter, thank you for that, but that also had no effect.

The cell is outlined in blue. In addition to the non-appearance of the 'evaluate' link, none of the buttons, such as the 'Save' buttons, work. This points to a javascript issue. However, javascript works fine in other web pages.

I tried deleting the dot-sage file from my home directory and re-starting sage, but still had the same problem. I then removed all the sage files and re-installed. That also did not fix it. Right now I'm out of ideas.

When I type a command in the cell and press 'enter' nothing happens.

Everything works fine from the command line.

I have sage 4.6.1 on ubuntu 10.10

@niles

Thank you. It was just as you thought--a permission issue. sage_notebook.sagenb was owned by root. After changing the owner to my user, the notebook opened with no problems.

After installing sage4.6.1 on ubuntu 10.10, all attempts to open the notebook server result in a request to change the admin password followed by an errno 13 permission denied. What should I do?
