[Bug 1117225] zsh hangs after some zypper commands

http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1117225 http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1117225#c2 Michael Andres changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |sseebergelverfeldt@suse.com Flags| |needinfo?(sseebergelverfeld | |t@suse.com) --- Comment #2 from Michael Andres --- Sorry Sven, but I've got no clue. zypper ref, ar and rr do not use rpm at all (only package install and remove actions do). You could open a terminal window and run `tail -f /var/log/zypper.log` in it. This way you can estimate when a zypper command ends. It's usually looks like this (releasing the zypp lock, closing the rpm database):

Running `top` in an other window might help to identify a program starting after zypper/rpm ended. I'm not familiar with zsh, but maybe your prompt definition has some command embedded, which causes the delay (similar to bash $PROMPT_COMMAND). Do other shells (bash, sh,... ) show th same symptoms? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
