[Comment 1 Alexandre Buisse (RETIRED) 2005-09-21 08:16:28 UTC]

Does /var/log/messages tell you anything useful about the possible cause of this
freeze ?

[Comment 2 Guillaume 2005-09-21 12:25:39 UTC]

Nothing useful in logs, I will try to reproduce it when running strace or ltrace.

[Comment 3 Martin Ehmsen (RETIRED) 2006-03-29 07:58:36 UTC]

What about the latest lyx version (1.4.0)?

[Comment 4 Martin Ehmsen (RETIRED) 2006-04-28 03:22:28 UTC]

No response in about a month.
Please feel free to reopen the bug if it still doesn't work.
