Hi,
I use a Gnumeric spreadsheet to log my bicycle training. Two days ago (Saturday) I made an entry, the latest in a long series. Yesterday (Sunday) when I launched Gnumeric to make another entry it hung. The window displayed, but was mostly blank. The placement of various GUI elements can be discerned by different colors, though no text or other drawing was present, and the row and column headers regions were "transparent" (the desktop shows through). There is neither CPU usage nor memory size accumulation.
I'm looking for one of two things:
1) A clue about this specific problem from someone who's encountered it already
2) Techniques to use in diagnosing the problem.
I did update a few packages between the last successful invocation of Gnumeric and the one that failed, but they were just routine updates of packages posted to Guru's RPM or Packman (via YaST Software Management), and I don't recall which packages were affected. Is there some way to see a chronologically ordered and / or annotated listing of package installations and updates via YaST?
I ran "rpm -V -a" but nothing in the output stands out. However, I must admit that I'm not very familiar with everything it's trying to tell me.
I'm running SuSE 10.0 on an late-model HT Pentium CPU. I've applied all the YOU-provided updates except the latest kernel update, which I need to hold until it's convenient for me to reboot, do some hardware maintenance and rebuild my VMware setup, as is required whenever a new kernel is released.
Any help would be appreciated.
Some things to check: 1) Is it only this spreadsheet that are affected? 2) Can you remove Gnumeric and reinstall it to see if that helps? 3) Can you open the sheet in OO Calc? - Jostein
