keepnote freezes when open notebook Ubuntu 13.10

[chicle verde]

when i open a notebook, keepnote just freeze

but when i open just keepnote, without a notebook to display, it opens well.

i can create new notebooks, but it seems that after keepnote created the notebook, just cant load it, and freeze

i noticed that this started to happen after i upgrade Ubutu 13.04 to 13.10

i tried to fix the problem uninstalling keepnote and installing it again, but didnt work.

what can i do to make keepnote work againg?

I am having the same issue, I believe.  However, it is not frozen, it is glacial.  It moves, but very slowly.  We are talking minutes to update after it has been used for, perhaps, five minutes.  Just be patient. Type a while and wait for the update. It does not lose keystrokes.

It seems it is being ignored when the kernel passes around the time slices.  Probably a python compatibility issue with 13.10.

But this is my limit.  Where are the gurus when you need them?

I am facing the same problem. Any solutions yet?

Same problem here.
(Kernel 3.11.0-15-generic #23-Ubuntu SMP Mon Dec 9 18:16:27 UTC 2013 i686 athlon i686 GNU/Linux)

It appears that one of the threads runs into a futex() lock and thus the application hangs.

what can i do to make keepnote work againg?

I copied the script and disabled threading which seems to work for me now:

diff -u /usr/bin/keepnote keepnote

You mean, on Ubuntu 13.10 with setup_threading commented out in the startup script?

After upgrading one of my PCs (pc-a) to Ubuntu 14.04, I reenabled threading there, now keepnote starts up normally again.  On a second machine (pc-b) which is still running Ubuntu 13.10, the same configuration, with setup_threading, still freezes.  To test further, I experimented with X11 forwarding via ssh.  Keepnote started up correctly in both directions (on pc-b: ssh -Y pc-a; on pc-a: ssh -Y pc-b).  So, I guess the problem must be how gdk-pixbuf interacts with the display's buffers.  Maybe you can tell us which version of libgdk-pixbuf you are running: apt-cache show libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 .

This is the version currently installed on Ubuntu 14.04 which works for me again:

Package: libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0
Source: gdk-pixbuf
Version: 2.30.7-0ubuntu1

In answer, that is correct.

It seems I may be down a couple of clicks, But I install the updates as they
come. Is this not something from Canonical?
