nvu hangs on startup. The last part of an `strace -f nvu` looks as follows: [...] [pid 11781] read(4, "\372", 1) = 1 [pid 11781] ioctl(3, FIONREAD, [0]) = 0 [pid 11781] poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, events=POLLIN}, {fd=12, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=14, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=15, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=16, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=4, events=POLLIN, revents=POLLIN}], 7, -1) = 1 [pid 11781] read(4, "\372", 1) = 1 [pid 11781] ioctl(3, FIONREAD, [0]) = 0 [pid 11781] poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, events=POLLIN}, {fd=12, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=14, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=15, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=16, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=4, events=POLLIN, revents=POLLIN}], 7, -1) = 1 [pid 11781] read(4, "\372", 1) = 1 [pid 11781] ioctl(3, FIONREAD, [0]) = 0 [pid 11781] poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, events=POLLIN}, {fd=12, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=14, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=15, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=16, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=4, events=POLLIN, revents=POLLIN}], 7, -1) = 1 [pid 11781] read(4, "\372", 1) = 1 [pid 11781] ioctl(3, FIONREAD, [0]) = 0 [pid 11781] poll( <unfinished ...> The descriptor 3 is set before: [pid 11781] socket(PF_FILE, SOCK_STREAM, 0) = 3 [...] [pid 11781] connect(3, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/tmp/.X11-unix/X0"}, 19) = 0 [...] [pid 11781] fcntl64(3, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 Any idea what could be the problem?

nvu has a dead upstream and should be masked for removal. I keep receiving a lot of emails/questions about Nvu and its descendants. So here are a few answers : * yes, I know that Nvu was impossible to download from nvu.com. I pinged Linspire and they updated the page. Everything should be ok now. * no, I have no more relationship with Linspire about Nvu. * yes, the name Nvu and its logo are protected. * no, I'm not helping on Kompozer and yes, I dropped Nvu entirely. * no, Composer is not dead at all, it's only evolving slowly because I'm working on it on my spare time. * no, I don't think Kompozer is going to live a long time. Kompozer is only a chrome bug-fix of Nvu and it's still based on the Mozilla 1.7 codebase. It's obsolete. Compared to Composer, Nvu and Kompozer will look like dinosaurs * yes, Composer will be MPL. * yes, Composer's code is only minimally based on Nvu's. * no, Composer is only a code name. The final name is not chosen yet. As you can see the main dev has killed all communications with linspire and has moved on. linspire is not maintaining nvu so support is dead everywhere.
