I was using the following code in my .emacs file to start emacs maximized:
Quote:
(defun toggle-fullscreen ()
(interactive)
(x-send-client-message nil 0 nil "_NET_WM_STATE" 32
'(2 "_NET_WM_STATE_MAXIMIZED_VERT" 0))
(x-send-client-message nil 0 nil "_NET_WM_STATE" 32
[Code]...
I do not know what makes this error when I start emacs from the terminal** (emacs:30705): CRITICAL **: murrine_style_draw_box: assertion `height >= -1' failedDoes anyone know how to get rid of this error ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am sufferihng from two problems running emacs in Fedora 12: Firstly, whether I am logged in as root or not, starting emacs from an xterm gives me the following messages: Finished loading /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/egg/leim-list.el and load others... Loading /usr/share/emacs/23.1/leim/leim-list.el (source)... Loading /usr/share/emacs/23.1/leim/leim-list.el (source)...done Not much of a problem, but I would like to know how to prevent this.
However, if I am logged in as root, or if I use 'su -c emacs' I get an additional message and then emacs takes a long time to start up. The additional message is: socket(): Address family not supported by protocol I did not get this in Fedora 10, and it is not so much the message but more the delay of a few seconds in starting up which is annoying me.
I'm trying to change the colours in emacs ( I could do with a darker background).From what I could find I have to install emacs-goodies-el.noarch, which I have done. However, M-x load-library RET color-theme RET M-x color-theme-select RET then does nothing and I cannot find a way to change the colours.looks like the instructions were wrong, it was the color theme package i need now.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Fedora 14 in an unused partition after having used Fedora 12 for some time. I used Add/Remove Software to download and install emacs successfully. However, there appears to be a bug in this version of emacs -- the menu bar grabs focus and will not give it back without cllicking on a menu item. I find this bug very annoying and would like to scrap 23.2 in favor of another version. According to emacs bug reports, this bug has been fixed in emacs 23.3 which is available right now from the emacs home page, but only as a tarball.
How long does it usually take for a new version, such as emacs 23.3, to become available as a Fedora rpm? Would it be possible for me to downgrade by installing the emacs 23.1 rpm? If so, how do I get it? (Fedora's Add/Remove Software lists only the 23.2 version for me.)
I have the Cap Locks key remapped as an additional Ctrl key. (I did that using the GUI System->Preference->Keyboard). This works fine all the time except when issuing one command to emacs. If I do CapLocks+Alt+ it does nothing yet Ctrl+Alt+ indents as needed. Since CapLocks should be the same as Ctrl I do not know what is causing the problem or how to solve it.

Code:
(setq epa-file-cache-passphrase-for-symmetric-encryption t) This is supposed to work, according to the documentation [URL], but in Fedora 13 emacs it seems to have stopped working.
I had Emacs installed in Fedora 11 and want to run it text-mode,but everytime when I type emacs command in gnome terminal,an emacs graphical window pop up. I want to emacs to back to text-mode by typing M-x text-mode, and it doesn't work.Can emacs run in text-mode in X11 environment?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI usually develop python code with emacs, emacs being in python code. On my desktop a version is installed and/or configured that way, so I easily can choose a region in the code and simply click on a menu option to comment out this block of code (i.e. at the begin of each line in the selected code two '##' are put). That is very convenient.
However, on my Laptop, running F12 and emacs 23.1.1, this menu option is missing! I searched within google and found the hint that by pressing 'C-c #' I also can comment out a selected region. But on my emacs it says: 'C-c # is undefined'. Am I missing something? Anyone any idea how to fix/install/update/solve this problem, so I can easily choose a couple of python lines and comment them out?
How can I tell emacs that a file type that it doesn't recognise should have the same syntax highlighting as one it does?
Xfig produces .pstex files which I want to be highlighted like .ps/.eps
What I want is to be able to type something like "camin" (with the accented ") in Emacs, and get it to work after latexing it. An alternative would be to type "cami'on", but the first alternative would be much better.
After googling it seems that this (or at least the second option) should be possible with not much hassle, but I just can't get it to work (maybe because I haven't got much sleep last week).
After "yum install emacs" & "yum install emacs-ess", I was able to install emacs on my X86_64 running Fedora 10.
If I run one session of emacs everything works fine.
Once I start a second session and try to resize or move the emacs window, the system stops responding.
I recently switched over to Fedora 13 but I'm having a bit of trouble. I've tried writing simple programs in Emacs and Eclipse but neither will compile. It always gives the error, "make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop."
I've looked around at a couple of forums, but people with the same issue can't install software, but I can. I got Fedora from the Fedora website so I know its complete, but I have the sneaking suspicion that I'm just missing a file or something.
I'm trying to find how to schedule a process to start at a specific time (not on start up). How would I schedule a process/application to start at a specific time (if it matters, it will be a background process). For instance, have process abc start every weekday at 5am. I've done this for windows many times though have only been using linux regularly for a few months and haven't figured out the best way of doing this.
So far the best solution I have is to create a program that will start on boot and have it check the time and sleep until the required time and then start the required process(es) at the required time(s). But this seems more of a hack since I'd expect there to be a proper way of doing this.
I am an emacs user, and I noticed that on my new machine (running F15, 64bit) flyspell-mode will not work in tex mode.
I get errors that look something like this:
Code:
Spell-checking inequality-model.tex using hunspell with default dictionary...
Spell-checking region using hunspell with default dictionary...done
ispell-send-string: Process ispell not running
When done with a buffer, type C-x #

I want to monitor my work on the terminal.I know we can use script command.But every time when I start the terminal, I have to type script to start it.I want to automate it. So where should I include this command so that it will start as soon as I start the terminal ?
MY WORK TILL NOW: I have put this "script" command in the .profile.The when I start the terminal, it became an INFINITE LOOP.I am able to "echo".Thats coming only once.....but if I write a "script" command then it is becoming an INFINITE LOOP.
I just installed TuxGuitar - very cool - and to get the sound to work I had to install Timidity++ as well. Before I start TuxGuitar I have to execute:timidity -iA -Osin a terminal window first, which is kind of a pain to do every time I run TuxGuitar.How do I get this line to execute on startup such that timidity is running when I start up? I tried adding that line to rc.local

View 3 Replies View RelatedSince upgrading to Ubuntu 10.10 I have been unable to use Emacs23. Upon starting Emacs, it immediately causes X to crash and I am returned to the login screen.I thought of looking for a log file and providing it here or in a Launchpad post to shed some light on the problem, but I don't know which log I could provide (if there is one).
View 4 Replies View RelatedAfter I installed GNU Emacs 23 to my Ubuntu system, every time I invoke the "emacs file" command, it launches Emacs.Because opening up Emacs takes time on my PC's last century hardware, and it consumes quite a big chunk of memory too. I wonder if I can still do some quick text editing using Terminal's emacs mode?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using emacs at work, and when I am home I use ssh through the terminal to connect to my computer at work. However starting emacs through ssh only gives me emacs in the terminal. As it is a bit awkward to work with I would like to open the GUI version of emacs through ssh. I tried installing tramp, but that did not seem to have any effect.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAll I want is that when I press the "TAB" key, I will ALWAYS get an actual TAB character--not spaces, not relative indenting with tabs mixed with spaces, just one singlel TAB character.
I tried every possible option I could find, but nothing works. I absolutely despise the relative indenting, and I haven't found a way to turn it off...
I have looked in all the usual places but cannot find emacs or xemacs... Does this mean I have to install it manually??
View 5 Replies View RelatedJust done a yum update and emacs's fonts seem very strange. Additionally all "" characters are displayed as a bizarre horizontally barred "W". Edit: I think it's nothing to do with emacs but with the fonts update. The default fonts are now "Baemuk Gulin", by changing them (SHIFT-LEFT_MOUSE) to, eg, Arial I can display things correctly. But I think the times fonts are now missing. Very strange.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm using emacs as editor. When using Emacs with any kernel for the 11.4 version, I observe that the cursor does not follow the arrow keys, and that some characters are randomly appearing in the Emacs text windows. This disappears when using the failsafe kernel. What could be the origin of this flaw and what can be done for solving this issue ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using openSUSE 11.4 Tumbleweed with KDE 4.6. I started using emacs and I wound when I scroll, emacs gui does not refresh the screen properly, and the characters get messy.
Especially the first column (first chars in every lines) does not go away for a while when I scroll.
I am using emacs for editing. The problem is that it is giving me a lot of artifacts on the screen. Like the cursor movement leave black marks all over the screen. Cursor is sometimes not visible after movement. If I use highlighting current line then it also leaves artifacts.
