 |
|
I updated my world to latest ~amd64 and suddenly gvim just hangs (no window pops up) when I start it from terminal. If I start it inside strace with 'strace gvim -f', it runs fine and throws open the GUI window. The same thing happens if I start it with 'gdb gvim' followed by 'r -f'.
The hung gvim can only be killed with 'kill -9'.
What could be causing this? The strace of the hung gvim shows only futex wait in child and wait4() in parent.
I have tried removing .vimrc/.gvimrc and ~/.vim. I tried changing the gtk engine to something other than qtcurve. But doesn't help. |

It came straight up, I have an nvidia card but am using

Interesting, this gvim handles & converts hex in the files selected.

| I think the issue is with latest nvidia-drivers. If you are not using that, gvim is fine. |
