Why Does Gnuplot Freeze When Plotting on Ubuntu 9.10?

[andresordonez]

Hi, I have a major problem with gnuplot, this is what happens:

gnuplot> plot "results.data" using 1:2 with lines

works fine, but when I want to make another plot like:

gnuplot> plot "results.data" using 1:3 with lines

the plot window freezes and when I try to close it says something like "the window id:0 is not responding" and I have to force quit.

My OS is ubuntu 9.10 (karmic koala)

I booted ubuntu 9.10 from a USB, installed gnuplot and had no problems, so I guess the problem has something to do with my configuration. Any ideas?

Thanks

Well, I've found a solution (a strange one).

System -> Preferences -> Assistive Technologies -> Uncheck "Enable Assistive Technologies"

for reaching out about this issue with gnuplot on Ubuntu 9.10. It seems like there may be a compatibility issue between the gnuplot software and your specific configuration on Ubuntu 9.10. One potential solution could be to try updating your gnuplot software to the latest version, as newer versions may have addressed this issue. Another option could be to try using a different plotting software, as there are many options available for scientific data visualization. If the issue persists, it may be helpful to reach out to the developers of gnuplot or the Ubuntu community for further assistance in troubleshooting this issue.
