I used to be able to use the Sage 5.10 notebook (installed from the Ubuntu ppa) without any problems. Now, when I type sage at the command prompt and start the notebook the notebook opens fine and I can see and edit my previous worksheets.

However, I can't evaluate any cells or use tab-completion. Eg, if I create a new worksheet and type E = EllipticCurve("11a") or if I type E = Ellipt and then hit [tab] the worksheet just stalls indefinitely. The sage console displays some errors. I tried searching around but I couldn't find anything like it online. I get the same errors after upgrading to version 5.11, and from using a copy of sage downloaded from the sagemath.org website instead of the Ubuntu ppa.

The notebook files are stored in: sage_notebook.sagenb

Looks like the history pickle is corrupted. You can probably delete it (backup first obviously). Its somewhere in the .sage/sage_notebook.sagenb tree, to find it just search:

find ~/.sage | grep history.pickle
edit flag offensive delete link more
