codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Codex not responding and cannot force quit [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The issue can likely be mitigated by changing the working directory away from sshfs after connecting to the VPN service.

Guidance

• Try disconnecting from the VPN service and then reconnecting to see if the issue persists, to isolate if the VPN connection itself is the cause.
• Change the working directory to a local directory after connecting to the VPN service to see if the issue is specific to sshfs over VPN.
• If possible, test the same workflow with a different VPN service to determine if the issue is specific to the current VPN service being used.
• Consider checking for any updates to the Codex App, as version 26.429.3425.0 may have known issues related to VPN and sshfs compatibility.

Notes

The provided information does not include details about the expected behavior, which could help in pinpointing the exact cause. Additionally, the issue might be specific to the combination of the Codex App version, the VPN service, and the use of sshfs.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Change the working directory to a local path after connecting to the VPN service, as this might prevent Codex from hanging due to potential compatibility issues with sshfs over VPN.
