Description Vitaly "_Vi" Shukela 2010-06-20 11:54:19 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open gnome-terminal
2. mkdir tmp
3. fusexmp_fh tmp
4. cd tmp
5. killall -STOP lt-fusexmp_fh # make "tmp" directory frozen
6. Attempt to open a new tab.

What happens:
gnome-terminal freezes all tabs and all windows, including menu.

What should happen:
gnome-terminal opens new tab, may be with frozen bash, but other tabs and windows works as before, e.g. one flawed tab should not freeze the whole gnome-terminal.

Use "killall -CONT lt-fusexmp_fh" or abort this FUSE filesystem to unfreeze.
Comment 1 Christian Persch 2010-06-20 12:02:55 UTC 
Which version of vte and gnome-terminal?

Please attach a backtrace of the hanging process.
Comment 2 Christian Persch 2011-05-04 11:56:25 UTC 
No response; closing. If you can provide the necessary information, please re-open the bug.
Comment 3 Behdad Esfahbod 2011-05-04 17:22:16 UTC 
It's not one frozen tab problem here I guess.  vte relies on /tmp working.  I don't think we have to support such broken systems.
Comment 4 Behdad Esfahbod 2011-05-04 17:23:01 UTC 
Oh, sorry.  My bad.  It's not /tmp!

I think the problem is that the new tab is opened in the same directory.  Probably bash not loading, not our problem.
Comment 5 Vitaly "_Vi" Shukela 2011-05-04 17:35:46 UTC 
bash not loading, but _all tabs_ are frozen (not just the newly created one). One tab hangs the whole gnome-terminal.
Comment 6 Christian Persch 2011-05-04 17:45:05 UTC 
Which version of vte and gnome-terminal?

Please attach a backtrace (all threads) of the hanging process.
Comment 7 Behdad Esfahbod 2011-05-04 17:57:58 UTC 
Probably hang in "cd".
Comment 8 Christian Persch 2011-05-29 20:20:58 UTC 
Hmm right. terminal-screen.c:cwd_of_pid() calls readlink, or, if that fails, chdir.
Comment 9 Behdad Esfahbod 2011-05-30 13:25:25 UTC 
We're not supposed to get to that hack on Linux though, right?

Vitaly, can you attach to the process and see where it's getting stuck?
Comment 10 Christian Persch 2011-10-28 13:11:41 UTC 
@Vitaly: Ping?
