Installing Application Development SDK hangs when using "screen"

Installing Application Development SDK hangs when using "screen"

[Pierre Yves MORDRET]

Hi there,

I have a tricky issue to sort out. I'm using a build server(Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) for building my Yocto project and Application Dev SDK (bitbake -c populate_sdk).
On this build server I 'm used to using "screen" tool. Using "screen" and bitbake at the same time seems to have no issues. 

However when installing the App. Dev. SDK via self-installer, it hangs every time after a while. The culprit seems to be "screen".
If I am IN a "screen" session OR I am OUT "screen" session but there is a running screen session that belongs to me, it hangs.

Did someone experience such trouble ? Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance
Pierre-Yves

I've seen some terminal failures in the past, but it's always been due to 
overwriting in-place terminal files.

I've not seen anything on a new SDK installation.

Which branch of the Yocto Project are you using?

Hi Mark,

This is on Daisy branch. On Dylan branch I didn't experience such trouble. It came up with Daisy.

(I haven't used Daisy very much... but...)

There was a bug in the master version of the SDK installer that was displaying 
special characters to the screen in some instances.  It caused what appeared to 
be a lockup on my screen for a while, but it was actually just taking a very 
long time to complete the operation, then a 'return' would allow the prompt to 
come back.

This was recently fixed by a commit from Richard 
2d1660112e54653f7bb763939d0416472c49fe01

If you can, cherry-pick that commit from master into your Daisy branch and try 
again.  If this works, we should get that submitted to Daisy.
