Terminal freezes when opening tabs in MEGAlib environment #70

Closed mateofa closed 1 year ago

mateofa commented 2 years ago

I've been struggling with this problem since I installed MEGAlib. Whenever I activate the environment and try opening a new tab in the terminal, the terminal freezes. I don't have this problem unless I'm using the MEGAlib environment. Another weird thing is that when I open a new tab, the directory path where I'm at is printed repeatedly. I tried re-installing MEGAlib pulling the latest setup script, but results are the same. Has anyone experienced something similar when loading the MEGAlib environment?

Running: macOS Monterey 12.2.1

Hello,

Yes, somebody else reported this to me. However, I cannot reproduce it on my Mac (iMac M1 also with Monterey 12.2.1)

The solution was to use the iTerm2 terminal app instead of the built-in one.

If you have any additional info to help me figure this out, that would be great. You are using zsh, right? For example, what is in your ~/.zsh and ~/.zprofile files?

Thanks, Andreas

Hello Andreas, Thanks for answering back. Yes, I'm using zsh, in my ~/.zprofile I just have: '# MacPorts Installer addition on 2022-03-14_at_15:09:17: adding an appropriate PATH variable for use with MacPorts. export PATH="/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH"' '# Finished adapting your PATH environment variable for use with MacPorts.'

In my ~/.zshrc I have nothing related to MEGAlib. I'll try the iTerm2, and report back if I find something new about this issue. Thanks

Hello,

You have nothing MEGAlib related in your files!

Once you have installed iTerm2, could you start the built-in terminal app in "fresh" mode, i.e. without restoring old sessions. You can do this in the (iTeem2) terminal via: open -F -a Terminal There is probably a better way to do that, but that's the only one I know.

Best, Andreas

Hello Andreas,

The iTerm2 works perfectly fine, I haven't had any problems so far. Thanks again for the suggestion!

I figured out another way to remove the saved state of the Terminal app, which does not require iTerm2:

In the Finder use Go -> Go to folder and type: /Users//Library/Saved Application State In this folder delete: com.apple.Terminal.savedState
