Sorry if this comes up as a duplicate, but I'm confused as to whether a post on "https://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php" is the same as a post to the mailing list. Anyhow...
When using gnu screen, I'm in the habit of just dropping the connection (I'll put my laptop to sleep, for example), and periodically, I have screen just refuse to allow me to reattach. I've tried to do some research on this. This guy claims to have submitted a patch to fix it: http://churchturing.org/w/screen/ While this thread claims that there is no good fix: http://www.mail-archive.com/screen-users@gnu.org/msg02595.html I've tried all sorts of things to get it unstuck. Attaching/detaching a debugger, various command-line options, sending signals, etc. Nothing works. My situation seems different from the 2009 thread, because I'm not stuck in write(). Here's what the debugger tells me: 0x00007f59953073c3 in __select_nocancel () at ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S:82 82 ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S: No such file or directory. in ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S (gdb) where #0 0x00007f59953073c3 in __select_nocancel () at ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S:82 #1 0x0000000000441ccc in sched () at sched.c:124 #2 0x00000000004062b0 in main (ac=<value optimized out>, av=<value optimized out>) at screen.c:1365 I'm assuming I found the right process, anyhow. There are no zombie clients running, so I can't kill any of those. This is the only process with 'screen' in the name: millerti 12529 1 0 Nov03 ? 00:00:02 SCREEN I haven't tried deleting the socket node, but since this seems to be a new problem, I thought it safer if I were to ask for advice before doing something that might make it impossible to find out what happened. What should I do?
