Xournal does not save not export a pdf file. The dialog window freezes.

Can you open files? Do you have similar problems with other GTK2
applications.
The open/save dialog boxes are "standard ones" generated by system
libraries (Gnome and GTK working together), not by xournal, and
slowdowns are likely caused by some inner workings of Gnome looking to
either explore network locations or something like that.
Possibly related bug with slowdowns of open/save dialog boxes:
https://forum.manjaro.org/t/gtk-file-picker-chooser-extremely-slow/41879
(there are others)
Does the dialog box actually show up after a minute or two? Does this
affect some other applications? Try temporarily removing the package
gvfs if you are not using gnome?

Hello
Thanks for the answer.
yes I open files normally. The problem is only saving or exporting.
removing temporarily the package gvfs does not help.
The box never opens.
It appears not to be a slowdown but rather a stop of xournal ;
This does not seel to happen with any other application.
So there is not much hope. I am going to try to dig fstab configuration.
If you have any other ideas!..
Thanks

Good luck! Another thought -- I don't think any of the bugfixes to
xournal since the version packaged in Ubuntu 18.04 would solve this
issue, since my guess is that the problem lies elsewhere, but just in
case, if your package version is 0.4.8 (or 0.4.8-1), please try the more
recent version 0.4.8.2016 which contains a number of bugfixes. Ubuntu
19.04 has a package for it, or you can try to compile it from the source
code -- you can download the latest stable code at
https://sourceforge.net/p/xournal/code/ci/master/tarball
(at the moment this is not significantly different from the Ubuntu 19.04
package).
To compile you will likely need the development packages for the
relevant libraries: packages libgnomecanvas2-dev, libgtk2.0-dev,
libpoppler-glib-dev, and dependencies; as well as automake and perhaps
some other development tools. Once you have managed to run ./autogen.sh
without configure complaining about missing libraries, and make, you can
find an executable binary in src/xournal if you want to try it out
without installing it (just to see if it works better). To install it,
you'd probably want to remove the Ubuntu package, then run, as root,
"make install" and "make desktop-install".

BOnjour
un ?l?ment nouveau. J'ai r?ussi ? sauvegarder le fichier sur le PC d'un coll?gue aussi sur xubuntu mais avec un configuration l?g?rement diff?rente. mais le fichier export? en .pdf est bugg? et ne peut donc ?tre ouvert. donc ne doute que la piste du fstab ou d'un slow down soit la bonne.

Hi, I can confirm that I am also experiencing this on Ubuntu 18.04 on two different machines: a laptop and a desktop
A workaround - at least in my case - is that although the save and export dialogs appear frozen to mouse activity, they are actually live to the keyboard so saving/exporting can still be done e.g. by hitting enter when "Save" is highlighted - and navigating the dialog as needed with cursors, tab and shift
(Does freezing to the mouse but not to the keyboard help identify the problem?)

I am still not sure what is happening, but since the package in Ubuntu 18.04 is the old 0.4.8 (I think?), presumably missing a large number of bugfixes included in the more recent version 0.4.8.2016 (or in the git repository), it would be good to test if this still happens if you compile/install the current version of xournal...

Hi Denis, thanks for the speedy reply. That's correct that the Ubuntu 18.04 version is 0.4.8. I cloned the git repo and compiled/installed version 0.4.8.2016 (sorry I'd missed this suggestion in your earlier response) which I can confirm resolves the issue.
Many thanks indeed, S
