Ubuntu :: Key Bindings Suddenly Changed In Emacs?
Feb 22, 2010
I turn on my laptop running 64-bit karmic (if that helps anyone), open GNU Emacs 23.1.1 with the org files I've been working on, and for some reason it is not recognising standard key bindings, for the first time ever, with no reason I can conceive. What does "M-kp-enter is undefined" mean when it seemed well defined not long before? It seems using Esc-enter still works.. can anyone suggest if there are any config files I might need to edit, or what else could have gone wrong?

I've noticed that emacs does not notice when an open file is changed on disk (unlike ,say, geany). Is there any way of making it watch for changes of files on disk?

Got up to go to work and all of a sudden my settings have changed. My bottom panel for my tabs is gone and instead of my applications on the top they are now on the side. Whats up with this? And what the hell is Ubuntu One?

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 and had the dual monitors all set up using NVidia. When I was leaving my office I intended to lock my screen but instead switched to guest user . . . and now 1 of my monitors from my dual monitor set up has bunk resolution?
I have restarted and am logged in as administrator but I have no idea how to fix the resolution? The dual monitors have always been a problem for me. what in the x11/xorg.conf file I need to change?

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

I have recently been trying to hack around a MTP plugin for the Exaile music player, but the first hurdle was getting any basic MTP operations to succeed. The following python calls caused a segmentation fault:
Code:
>>> import pymtp
>>> dev = pymtp.MTP()
>>> dev.connect()
>>> tracks = dev.get_tracklisting()
Segmentation fault
I had a look at pymtp 0.0.4.1-1 and I think that it is not in sync with the libmtp8 package (version 1.0.2) I have installed on my xubuntu 10.04 system. I have looked at the libmtp.h file for 1.0.2 and made some changes to pymtp which appear to do the job - no more crash, but I haven't yet tested the other parts of the interface. Feel free to use the attached patched file. I will try to get it to the package owner for further testing and hopefully an eventual package update.

I have (normal) Ubuntu 11.04 installed and I used the Ubuntu Software Center to install LXDE. I'm stuck on 2 problems though, and I'm not sure how to fix them.1. How do I change key bindings in LXDE? Specifically, I want to use Super+up/down/left/right change between workspaces, not the defaultCtrl+Alt+up/down/left/right. I have a script that I have set to auto-run on startup in my standard Unity session; I created a script and added it to the startup programs list there. However, I need to remove that script from LXDE ONLY, so that in the Unity session it will continue to run, and in the LXDE session it will NOT run

I'm trying to build/install KDE 4.5.4, but I run into problems with the bindings package. Build fails with the following:
[Code]....
I'm building using the KDE slackbuild from sources dir, with the new KDE packages. edit: Well I decided to just take the risk of a not working KDE and commented out the bindings package. All other packages build fine. After this I crossed my fingers and rebooted, KDE loaded up. I gave the bindings package another go, and to my surprise it did build now. Got KDE up to date and it seems to be running fine.

I'm running Ubuntu in a virtualbox VM on windows, and none of the key-bindings that I define for compiz plugins (such as Grid and Put) work. I've tried letters and numbers by themselves, as well as combined with ALT, CTRL, and Super, but all fail.

I recently installed virtual box on debian and after it had finished my terminal informed me that I could remove some "unnecessary" software by use of sudo apt-get autoremove. When I did this, some of the icons on the desktop changed and all of the icons in the drop down menu on the bar at the top of the screen also changed to ordinary folder symbols. The theme that I was using also went away. I restarted the computer and it booted back into a shell prompt with no GUI. I tried to get back to the GUI using alt+f7 but it didn't seem to exist

Since 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).

After 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?

I 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.

I like emacs very much, and especially like using C-M-v and C-M-S-V to scroll other window up and down. It is cool, especially when I am coding and referring documents.The problem is, using C-M-v to scroll down is OK in both terminal and X,but using C-M-S-V to scroll up just works well in X, if I use it in terminal, it behaves scrolling down too.

I recently clean installed Ubuntu 10.10 and copied over my last home directory from 11.04, after having upgraded from 10.10. Maybe something went wrong in this transition which is making this happen. Basically, I have a macbook pro with Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit and have the latest nvidia driver. I'm sshing using -X and -A. I try "emacs &" and Ubuntu logs me out immediately. Occasionally, it will simply log me out on startup although I haven't seen this happen in the last few logins. I also just tried running kdiff3. It starts to load the window and it does the same as emacs: it logs me out of Ubuntu.

I've recently started using Emacs and find switching between different buffers using the menu to be inconvenient. Is there any mode or trick that allows functionalitry like Alt-tab?

I successfully installed Natty on my PC and everything works great. Or nearly! If I connect to a server via ssh and try to open an emacs window on the server: no fonts are visualized (only empty boxes) and I get the following warnings:
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-helvetica-medium-r-*--*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct
- running emacs with the "no window" option -nw works fine (but I don't like working with emacs in the terminal window).

I just updated to emacs23 from emacs22 (sudo apt-get install emacs2). I find that I now have a problem with org mode structured lists not appearing. A single asteriks on a line by itself no longer appears highlighted and no longer collapses and expands using the tab key.

I'm putty'd into an Ubuntu server box and have EDITOR=emacs set. However whenever I run crontab -e my shell locks up.
I can use emacs normally by typing emacs from the command line, so I'm not sure what problem is. If I set EDITOR=vi I can run crontab -e and it opens in vi

I write LaTeX in Emacs and then run a shell script to process the LaTeX code. I used to run a subshell buffer with M-x shell and then execute the script from within there, but this results in a lot of switching between buffers, which seems unnecessary. Then, I found out about executing shell commands with M-! cmd RET, as described here:[URL]The problem with this is that the output from the script splits my screen. It's a nuisance, and I would like to run the script without any output. I've tried appending > /dev/null to the command, but it doesn't work.For example, when from within Emacs I enter M-! followed by
Code:
sh make.sh > /dev/null
it splits my screen so that one portion displays output from the make.sh script. I want it to run silently, and leave my Emacs buffers alone

I have Ubuntu 10.10. The software package that is available in the Software Center and Synaptic is 23.1 (which I installed), but I'd like to install the latest release (23.3). What's the best way to go? I know that you're supposed to try to find a deb package if possible, but there's only tar.gz files on the official GNU site. I found this site: http:[url]....
which seems to have the deb package for 23.3, but I don't know anything about this site and if I can trust it.I found version 23.2 here:
http://packages.debian.org/stable/editors/ though I'd still prefer the latest version. But again, I don't know this site either.What's the best for me to get 23.3 where it will just work and I don't start getting dependency errors?

I've been using Emacs with the AUCTeX package to edit and compile my .tex documents lately, but there's something that's been bugging me. First, here is the short question:How can I costumize the default view command emacs runs when I type C^c C^c <enter>?I've read that it's done with the tex-view-dvi-command variable, but I've had no luck getting it to work at all.Now the explanation:It bugs me that whenever I type C^c C^c to compile, and then C^c C^c to view dvi, emacs doesn't automatically give focus to the dvi viewer (xdvi). Digging a little, I found out that the command "wmctrl -a main" gives focus to xdvi ("main" is the title of the xdvi window). So, if I can only customize AUCTeX's standard view command to include "&& wmctrl -a main" at the end, than my problem would be solved
