The lsof -F p /usr/bin/emacs22-gtk call hangs because an unrelated process was stuck waiting on an nfs server that had disappeared. So in essence, the problem is a symptom of nfs being very stupid, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=131712.
But the lsof call is only used to check if emacs is running and print a warning, so it would be simple to replace it with something that does not risk hanging. pidof /usr/bin/emacs22-gtk for example could be used as a drop-in replacement. ** Bug watch added: Red Hat Bugzilla #131712 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=131712 -- Emacs upgrade hangs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/558592 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
