    v13 v14  
    4848**Update**
    4949I have reopened this as Octave gui fails to work even though the installation process seems to work with the patch. (See comment 11 below.)

     51**Update 2**
     52After doing some internet sleuthing, apparently when switching between different versions of octave that are built with different versions of Qt (i.e. qt4 vs. qt5), the file {{{~/.config/octave/qt-settings}}} cannot exist when switching from one version of Qt to another. The solution is to take the current file {{{~/.config/octave/qt-settings}}} and rename it to something like {{{qt-settings_qt-old}}} to force Octave to re-create the {{{qt-settings}}} file for the current Qt-based gui. Then, if you ever want to switch back to the previous Qt-based gui, you can rename you're old {{{qt-settings_qt-old}}} file back to {{{qt-settings}}}. Just make sure you don't delete the other {{{qt-settings}}} file.
