Hi, .gnumeric files are compressed xml files. So the first thing to try is to uncompress the file. On Kubuntu you may want to rename the file.gnumeric to file.zip and see whether the archive manager can open the file then. If you are successful then the extracted file will give you all the information that is still available.
