Re: XFCE freeze when opening file over NFS with Vim editor

Hello:

Yerterday I found this curious  "problem":

I have  a Debian GNU/Linux machine that exports a file system on the local network using NFS.

I mount the filesystem on my NetBSD Thinkpad laptop with:

#mount 192.168.1.200:/nfsexport /root/directory


I start XFCE session in the NetBSD laptop. I open thunar file explorer, it works fine surfing on the Debian machine files. I can edit them fine from the NetBSD computer. It works fine with libreoffice files, for example.

If I open a terminal and type "vim file.txt" it works just fine.

The problem arises when I right click on a txt file and try to open them by mistake using Vim editor (right click, open with Vim). After doing that, XFCE freezes hard, computer is alive and I end killing all XFCE session to overcome it. I first tried to kill only vim process but it did not solve the crash. Mounting point continues working fine, I restart XFCE and it works normally.

Can it be due to the fact that vim command expect to work inside a terminal window and not alone? Why XFCE freezes that way? Have to test what happens with "vim -g", I am out home now.

Regards.

Ramiro.

Hello,

I confirm that as I suspected "/usr/pkg/bin/vim -g" instead of "/usr/pkg/bin/vim" works just fine.

Regards.
