Unresponsive with Windows Subsystem for Linux

[mslinn]

The Scala REPL, SBT and Activator are all unresponsive when run in the bash shell provided by the Windows 10 Subsystem for Linux (released today). After I type 'sbt' and press Enter, the terminal window becomes unresponsive. No input, no output.

Do you know if JLine 2 in general works on Windows Subsystem for Linux?
You might have to pass in -Djline.terminal=jline.UnixTerminal. See http://www.scala-sbt.org/0.13/docs/Manual-Installation.html

I have no idea what this thing supports. -Djline.terminal=jline.UnixTerminal does not help :(

a thread dump might help with troubleshooting. where's it getting stuck?

I'm marking this Invalid for now since it's likely an environmental issue with the subsystem aka Bash on Windows.

I'll update this issue after M$ releases a WSL update

Microsoft just prereleased a new version of Windows Subsystem for Linux. I'm not a Windows Insider so I do not have access to this prerelease. Here is it in case anyone else is interested.

Same issue here, goes unresponsive after a disk write. Seems to complete the disk write but the shell becomes unresponsive. Can't execute it in another window either, it's just totally dead. I have system managed pagefiles, Windows Defender and bitlocker enabled on C:. Windows 10 Build 1607.
