I just reinstalled Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, cloned my blog into directory and run `hugo` command inside that directory. Hugo was installed via `go get`  
golang was downloaded from golang site, no ubuntu package installed.

```
~> go version
go version go1.6.3 linux/amd64
~> hugo version
Hugo Static Site Generator v0.16-DEV BuildDate: 2016-08-07T09:43:30+02:00

```

It’s not complaining, just hanging there. config.toml is found, `hugo checkconfig` is not complaining.

I tried hugo -v, but not big difference:

```
~/icoviny> hugo -v
INFO: 2016/08/08 23:03:12 hugo.go:376: Using config file: /home/ico/icoviny/config.toml
INFO: 2016/08/08 23:03:12 hugo.go:456: syncing from /home/ico/icoviny/static/ to /home/ico/icoviny/site/
INFO: 2016/08/08 23:03:12 site.go:836: found taxonomies: map[string]string{"knihy":"knihy", "tag":"tagy"}

```

**strace hugo** is giving me at the end of output

I thought this is maybe I can’t open enough files, but after raising  
\> ulimit -n  
100000

no change. I can’t even get any output when running hugo as root.

This is **ulimit -a** for current user

```
~> ulimit -a
Maximum size of core files created (kB, -c) 0
Maximum size of a process’s data segment (kB, -d) unlimited
Maximum size of files created by the shell (kB, -f) unlimited
Maximum size that may be locked into memory (kB, -l) 64
Maximum resident set size (kB, -m) unlimited
Maximum number of open file descriptors (-n) 100000
Maximum stack size (kB, -s) 32768
Maximum amount of cpu time in seconds (seconds, -t) unlimited
Maximum number of processes available to a single user (-u) 63008
Maximum amount of virtual memory available to the shell (kB, -v) unlimited

```

Any ideas?

It’s working now. I did remove go installed from golang site ( 1.6.3 ), added standard distribution go 1.6.2 and reinstalled hugo via `go get -v -u github.com/spf13/hugo`. It’s not complaining anymore.
