I'm trying to launch the Mathematica 8 front end in Ubuntu 11.01. Actually, this Ubuntu is in a virtual machine being run by Parallels for Desktop on a Mac running OS X 10.6.8. As soon as I execute the command "mathematica" I'm thrown back to the Ubuntu log-on screen. Ad infinitum. I find no shortcut for the front end. (I believe one is installed for Mathematica 7 under Linux, but I'm unsure about Mathematica 8). At the command line, the command "math" does launch the kernel. The Linux virtual machine has 4 GB ram allocated to it. Any ideas how to fix? -- Murray Eisenberg murray at math.umass.edu Mathematics & Statistics Dept.
