July 15, 201411 yr I had a similar problem to this unsolved post : http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=29368.0 One preclear session was frozen in putty, and not updating. Strangely, this had blocked me from logging into a new session as well. See attached screenshot. After googling for way too long, I stumbled onto this explanation: http://munkymorgy.blogspot.com/2008/07/screen-ctrl-s-bug.html In case, the link dies in the future, it turns out that I had accidentally fat-fingered CTRL-S, instead of CTRL-A. And CTRL-S tells the terminal to stop updating. CTRL-Q restores the updating. So I had updates again!! .... but still couldn't login . I then had to do some "CTRL-A,p" on each putty session, and "exit" each idle background prompt. Do that on each window until you get the blazing inverse ANSI "[glow=green,2,300]No other windows[/glow]" at the bottom of your preclear window. Once I had only my three preclears running in all my Putty sessions, I could once again log in to root , as per normal, in the fourth window. Don't ask me why or how that helped, but it did the trick for me... I figured I'd share, in case someone else runs into similar issues. Cheers, Don
