Recently (last couple weeks) my gvim has stopped reliably forking the GUI on startup. I didn't change any of my configuration, so I'm a bit stumped.
Running on Mint 21, Cinnamon desktop. Two different machines, same issue. Launching gvim from within the Konsole terminal. Always in the past the gui would startup, and detach from the console. Now, it doesn't always and I can't figure out the pattern for why. When it works, strace shows a single 'clone' and then that process dies as it should. clone(child_stack=NULL, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_tidptr=0x7ffa7d8acd50) = 1244732 close(5) = 0 read(4, "ok\0", 9) = 3 When it doesn't, I see multiple clone calls, but things don't work: clone(child_stack=NULL, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_tidptr=0x7f8b87d5dd50) = 1252570 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0 close(6) = 0 etc... -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
