ZIM freezes when auto or manual save initiated

[edub]

I just upgraded from Ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04 and since then I am having problems with ZIM freezing. After running in --verbose mode, I have found that this occurs when the auto save through git is initiated. After trying save manually the results are the same: freezing of the program for approx. 2 minutes.

The following is the error message:

From the debug log it looks like the git command failed. Can you try
running git outside of Zim and see if it works?

I use git (version 2.1.1) regularly and it works fine. I "resolved" the issue by turning off the git plug-in within git. Since deactivating the git plug-in, I have had no further problems with ZIM freezing.

[Kaarel Mänd (kaarel-mand-7)]

I too have this bug. Zim freezez after git add -A.
However, I don't want to turn off the git plugin. (Nor do I know how to do that).

Tested here with new git based notebook. Seems "git add -A" works fine and no timeout. So still thinking that the timeout is due to specific git issue in your repository.

You can check the git repository by running "git add -A" outside zim to test what is happening.

REgards,
