Moneydance freezing in Ubuntu

• Edit

HI,
Too often Moneydance freezes, especially after just opening.
If I start it on the laptop and then immediately move it to the second monitor, it can freeze. I've occasionally wondered if it's because it's busy doing the graphs on the main page when it is moved.
Today it froze for no good reason on opening, it seemed to me. Usually, if I click on close close close enough times, Ubuntu will shut it down but it took too long for me today so I shut down the computer. I looked in the file system report for Moneydance but I did not recognise it and would have tried to shut it down there.
I do know that today, all 8 processors were at or near 100%. Please comment on this. This happens reasonably often. Thanks Greg Breslin

   I would suggest after this happens but before you reopen Moneydance you capture and post your Moneydance error log, you should find it at ~/.moneydance/errlog.txt

   The email addresses are not visible to the public, the Tender software, should you have it so configured, will email any posted responses to your question to the email address it has in your profile.

   Only you (the owner of the post) or support staff can made a thread private.

   Following on from correspondence about Moneydance freezing periodically, I have an error log but when I click on 'Browse' nothing happens. So I don't know how to attach the file here. Thanks Greg Breslin

   browser should open a window that allows you to locate the file on you computer and attach it to the thread.

    Your MD JVM session appears to be out of memory. This is odd as with 5064 the vmoptions have been improved to use 80% of all available memory.

    Is it possible that your default install locations have changed? Or that the Moneydance.vmoptions file has not been created properly.

    Please do this.

    1/ install toolbox extension and then run it. Go to general tools. Show vmoptions. Two finder windows will appear and also a popup text help screen. Grab the output and upload here.

    2/ grab a new help/console and upload that here too.

    I am not support staff, just a user.
    Hi Greg

    First check under EXTENSION – MANAGE EXTENSIONS that all Extensions are up to date.
    The error log seems to suggest not enough RAM is allocated to Moneydance
    java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
    which if not due to outdated extensions is strange as 2023.3(5064) increases max memory available to Moneydance.
    Download a preview build of the Extension Toolbox
    https://yogi1967.github.io/MoneydancePythonScripts/
    and install toolbox.mxt by dragging it into Moneydance’s Side Bar, list on left and accept warnings. Run Toolbox under Extensions and note at the bottom of the window note the values in the line starting VM Memory.
    Click on MENU: Advanced Options and select View Java VM Option File (only when exists) – PROCEED and have a read.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Derek,
    I'll check it out in the morning (currently 1.01am :slightly_smiling:).
    I'm not much of a tech but the replies are very interesting. Thanks, Greg
