Re: [GNC] Stock quotes hung
Not sure exactly what happened in your case. But usually, if you can put the focus on the "frozen" process, then Alt-F4 will kill it. There are other ways as well in Linux, for example with htop.

Re: [GNC] Stock quotes hung
I am back home and stock quotes is working fine. So, my problem must have been a very slow internet connection. It would be nice if there were some way to cancel a stock quote fetch in progress. I had to reboot the entire Linux system before. On Sat, Sep 9, 2023 at 3:25 PM Fred Tydeman wrote: > I was wrong.

Re: [GNC] Issues Importing a Large CSV with Multiple Accounts into GnuCash: Is Duplicated Transactions Normal?
