Ah, I've tried setting gnus-read-newsrc-file again and Gnus is now loading :) I thought I'd already tried this, after reading the "Startup Files" section of the manual, but I probably copy/pasted the wrong variable name and set gnus-save-newsrc-file to nil instead! Many thanks for helping me get up and running! I'm happy to experiment and find the cause if anyone cares. Otherwise I'll just add it to the long list of things I've had to fix after an Ubuntu upgrade (PulseAudio, Perl, MySQL, apt, ....!) Thanks! Chris
