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. On Mon, Oct 9, 2023, 10:13 AM Fred Tydeman wrote: > I am back home and stock quotes is working

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. The gnucash-cli command, after a couple of minutes, did finish. And looking at the price history, it did get the AT price for yesterday. So, it looks like things are very slow for some reason. Perhaps the internet at this airbnb is causing problems. On Sat, Sep 9, 2023 at 5:19 PM

I have removed Get Quotes for all of my stocks and have just GBP currency getting quotes. Doing the gnucash-cli command works. If I add in just one stock (T == AT), gnucash-cli hangs. I tried adding in --debug to that gnucash-cli, but nothing stood out as a problem. Suggestions?

Unfortunately no. The Securities window can show which ones are set (click the arrow at the right end of the header row and check Get Quotes) but the control isn't sensitive so you have to double-click on each line item and change it in the Security Editor dialog box. Regards, John Ralls > On

I am running GnuCash 4.14 on Fedora Linux 37 Last weekend, I could get stock quotes. Yesterday and today, all I get is a spinning circle. I end up rebooting Linux to get out of a hung session. All of my stocks are getting prices from yahoo as json. In looking at the online documentation in 11.3
