I am trying to use plots in Julia (1.04) from the terminal, to graph a time column (I already transformed it to time data). I have not been able to graph any type of matrix, in all cases it throws the following error: /home/halley/.julia/packages/GR/yMV3y/src/…/deps/gr/bin/gksqt: error while loading shared libraries: libQtGui.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory connect: Conexión rehusada GKS: can’t connect to GKS socket application GKS: Open failed in routine OPEN\_WS GKS: GKS not in proper state.

I have already tried it and it continues with the same problem … ---

I tried answering because I use Ubuntu too, and I remember some similar problem when I started using Plots and GR two years ago, but sorry, I can’t help. Relations between Qt, GKS and GR are mysterious for me. Good luck ! ---

I am on Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS. With Julia 1.5.2. I have the same problem: Same list of messages as you. GKS not in proper state. GKS must be either in the state WSAC or SGOP in routine POLYLINE However it happens on a aleatory basis. Let’s say 33% of the times. I need to restart REPL and the problem disappears.
