I removed my .emacs and .emacs.d, then created a new .emacs consisting of only the essential to use R and a shell with org-babel to make sure my configs weren't causing this:
When I try to run the following snippet:
It runs just fine. However, if I add :session or :session name to the #+begin_src header, Emacs freezes. I can't move the cursor nor do anything. I can see both R and Emacs on htop, none using any CPU. The only way to get out is to send SIGTERM to Emacs.
When running the snippet with C-c the minibuffer says:
This is normal, I get it on other computers where Emacs doesn't freeze. Then hangs forever on
Also normal. Except the hanging forever part.
A similar issue occurs with sh snippets:
Works fine. So with :session. However, with :session name it hangs forever just like R. All the minibuffer says is
And then hangs forever on
All packages (emacs, ess, org-mode) are the latest version from Debian stable repos. I have other computers with the same setup that work just fine. emacs --version returns GNU Emacs 24.4.1. The same happened in previous versions, and I also tried downloading Emacs 24.5.1 from a GNU mirror and compiling it. The exact same thing happens. I'm completely lost as to what could be causing this.
P.S.:
Also tried downloading latest stable ess and org-mode from the respective websites and installing and configuring for the compiled emacs. Added
To .emacs as per ess' README
