SUMMARY

The issue of Gnuplot freezing on Ubuntu 9.10 when plotting data from "results.data" using different columns has been identified and resolved. Users experienced unresponsive plot windows when executing the command "plot 'results.data' using 1:3 with lines". The solution involves disabling the "Enable Assistive Technologies" option found under System -> Preferences -> Assistive Technologies. This configuration adjustment effectively prevents the freezing issue during plotting.

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
