My guess is that Emacs is waiting for the final output from `gnome-terminal`, which doesn't get sent until you close `gnome-terminal`. Alexis.
[O] Emacs unresponsive while executing Sh code block
Dear all, when I C-c C-c in: #+BEGIN_SRC sh gnome-terminal #+END_SRC a gnome-terminal window appears, but Emacs hangs until I close it. In the *Messages* I get: executing Sh code block... Wrote /tmp/babel-2307H-J/ob-input-2307i3c (here Emacs hangs... then I close gnome-terminal) Error reading results: (beginning-of-buffer) Code block produced no output. If I use emacs -Q ( evaluating just (org-babel-do-load-languages 'org-babel-load-languages '((sh . t))) ) this doesn't happen. Do you have any idea of what could be triggering such behavior? Thanks, Giacomo

If you open a terminal window and start, say, firefox from it, the terminal window will hang until you close firefox - then you get another prompt and can give it some more input. This is no different. It would be nice if emacs were multithreaded, but it isn't (at least not yet). If I use emacs -Q ( evaluating just (org-babel-do-load-languages 'org-babel-load-languages '((sh . t))) ) this doesn't happen. When you say this doesn't happen, what do you meant by this? How does this example compare with the previous example? They look completely different to me. -- Nick
