+### Please describe the problem.
+
+I am experiencing a weird issue with any install I've had on this one (and only) ArchLinux machine: all of aur/git-annex 4.20130516-1, aur/git-annex-bin-4.20130909-1, aur/git-annex-standalone-4.20130909-1 and a Cabal install just stall when trying to create the initial Git annex repo in the webapp.
+
+When started, it offers me to create the annex in ~/annex/ or ~/Desktop/annex/, where ~ gets turned into /home/USER when I press “Make repository”, but nothing else happens. This is regardless of if that repo exists when I try to create it or start the webapp.
+
+If I start the webapp from an existing annex (now in ~/annex), it seems to work a bit better, but any other remote (SSH) server that I try to add fails. I just get a fleeting Bootstrap message box when I click “Check this server”, and nothing in the logs of eithr git annex webapp or the ssh logs of the server.
+
+If an annex exists, but I start the webapp from another directory, it just behaves as if none were found.
+
+Calls to git annex assistant --autostart complain that "Nothing listed in /home/omehani/.config/git-annex/autostart". I have checked the permissions on that directory, and tried deleting it to let git-annex recreate it, which it did, to no avail.
+
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+Install any of the git-annex packages available from AUR
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+
