[LDM #FST-256974]: updating to latest ldm version causes hanging

> It shows that it is pointing to runtime/bin

Whoops! I meant to get a long listing of the contents of ~/bin.

Please send the output of the command "ls -l $HOME/bin/".

For safety, you shouldn't run the LDM as root.

There's the problem. The "make root-actions" command *must* be executed by root.
