Screen 4.00.03, frozen, can't reattach (posted by Timothy Miller, Sat 20 Nov 2010 10:19:33 PM UTC) |
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:
While this thread claims that there is no good fix:
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
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:

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?
Thanks. |
