bdentremontI apologize if this has been asked before, but I'm was unable to find any threads pertaining specifically to my problem.
Recently (sometime between December and now) my WordPress installation on my home web server stopped generating thumbnails upon upload of new images. Thus, if I attempt to upload a new image:
1) Only the original file appears in my upload directory on the server, without the additional reduced size copies I am used to seeing.
2) All administrative thumbnails on the "media", "upload", pages etc. link to the full file and are painfully slow to load.
3) The options to insert into post at anything but "full" size are greyed out.
4) A gallery inserted into the post has thumbnails referencing the full file, reduced to thumbnail size at the browser via html attribute.
Here are examples of a post containing a gallery, created prior to the onset of the problem and a new page with a gallery created today with the IMG tags referencing the full files at thumbnail size:

I'm thinking some change to WordPress or PHP must have caused this change, but don't know where to start.
My configuration:
Wordpress 2.9.2
Ubuntu 8.04.4 Server
PHP 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.10 (see PHP config info)
In WordPress "Settings/Media" I have
* Thumbnail 150x150
* "crop thumbnail to exact ..." is checked
* medium 650x650
* large 1024x1024
I've tried:
1) Using a different browser for the upload, Ubuntu/Firefox and Ubuntu/Chromium
2) Upgrading the WordPress install from 2.9.1 to 2.9.2
3) Package update in Ubuntu
4) Uploading smaller image files
5) Check Settings/Media in the WordPress Dashboard
Any thoughts on this would be most appreciated.
