Using the 17.04 version cantor. Way to reproduce: 1. In arch linux, install cantor, sagemath, maxima, r. 2. Start cantor, choose any one of the sage, maxima, or r sessions. 3. Initializing takes forever. 4. When clicking cancel while initializing, the corresponding help menus (Show Sage Help, Show Maxima Help, Show R help) appear normally and usable. The session, however, is blank, without cursor etc.

I am putting it as Invalid because you submit several problems as one bug. I recommend to you submit each problem as a different bug. Some comments about the problems: 1. Sage - I need to know the version of Sage you utilized here. 2. Maxima - Maxima works fine, so I need to know the version too. 3. R - R is broken since some releases, see Bug 351871.
