Filezilla will not start/open

[deefactorial]

I try to open filezilla through unity in Ubuntu 12.04 and the program doesn't open. I tried several times, looked at system monitor and I see multiple instances open, if I close them all and try again nothing opens.

I tried via command line and it just hangs.

$ filezilla -v
FileZilla 3.5.3, compiled on 2012-03-28

Happened again Today. I launched application and the program did not open. here is a screenshot of the process information from the system monitor.

It says "Status: Uninterruptable". This looks like it is blocking, waiting for I/O.

Can you start FileZilla from command line using "strace filezilla"? Does terminal output stop at some time? What's last shown then?

No reply for more than 28 days.

The problem was related to a hanging nfs connection.
​http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/system-hangs-when-nfs-connection-is-lost-814578/

Filezilla was scanning that directory with this command
lstat("/mnt/eeepc", ^{C <unfinished ...>}

Thanks for the strace filezilla function that help me to find the problem.

(linux / ubuntu)

running with -s and -v makes no difference.

Now it's my turn to feel stupid. There was a bad nfs mount.
