I'm writing this comment on behalf of someone that does experience the problem and have tested the test kernel (Wily kernel with commit e81107d) by Joseph Salisbury.
Here is the feedbacks: --- Hello, We examined whether the provided kernel works on Ubuntu 15.10 by running our test program. 4.2.0-16 kernel: The problem occurred 30 times at 630 running. 4.2.0-17.21~lp1512815 kernel: 0 time at 100000 running. (We didn't install linux-cloud-tools packages.) We think the fixed kernel works fine. By the way, if you are referencing 3.18.23, there is an extra spin_unlock_irqrestore() which should be removed by http://pastebin.com.keephe.com/L14RzUcF ,so please be aware. We will wait for a kernel backported for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (x86_64). --- -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1512815 Title: read() from pty doesn't finish.
