I have a strange situation on my laptop.I'm running Ubuntu 16.04, with Emacs 24.5.1. I'm also using the latest development branch from the org-mode git repository (latest changes pulled today). Recently, for some unknown reason, emacs suddenly started to hang on startup. Placing some output messages in my .emacs file I was able to narrow it down to this line: (require 'org) Loading org-mode hangs Emacs for some reason. If I remove the above line from .emacs then Emacs will start as normal (although without org-mode, obviously). I tried creating a minimal-org.el file with the following contents: ;; activate debugging (setq debug-on-error t debug-on-signal nil debug-on-quit nil) ;; add latest org-mode to load path (add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/elisp/org-mode/lisp")) (add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/elisp/org-mode/contrib/lisp" t)) And then running: $ emacs -Q -l minimal-org.el ...but I still get the same result (Emacs hangs when I run `M-x (require 'org)`). Can anyone help tell me what's wrong, or suggest how I try and track down the problem?
Further to my previous post, I've discovered that if I disable networking then Emacs loads immediately (no hang).
The network connection where I am at the moment is not very reliable, so I'm wondering if org-mode is trying to make some kind of network connection which then hangs while waiting for a response that never comes back.
