A user encountered a freezing issue with gnuplot on Ubuntu 9.10 when attempting to plot data from a file. The first plot command executed successfully, but subsequent commands caused the plot window to become unresponsive, requiring a force quit. After troubleshooting, the user discovered that disabling the "Enable Assistive Technologies" option in the system preferences resolved the issue. This suggests a potential conflict between gnuplot and assistive technologies in this version of Ubuntu. A related bug report is referenced for further context.

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
