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.
View 7 RepliesWhen clicking on a file in a webpage such as a .tex file the default viewer is mousepad. I search for Emacs to open it, but browsing gets me no where. How do I find it or set it so that I can open directly files in it without explicitly saving them
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am doing some project work and for that using the server at college with ssh connection. Every time I try to open emacs on the terminal after connecting, it opens emacs in the terminal itself i.e. not its own window. On my laptop on which ubuntu is installed, emacs always opens up in its own window an thats how I am used to it. There are several problems when it opens in the terminal like when I try to use commands such as M-V, actually terminal's view menu opens up, its very frustrating. Also I am pretty sure that the college server runs on red hat and has X installed on it. So what do I need to do to get my emacs window back.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI split vertically Emacs window to 2 frames. In the left frame I edit the code, in the right frame I navigate through files and directories in Dired mode.It is possible to tell Emacs that anytime I choose the file and press Enter in the right frame, the file will be opened in the left frame?I am almost sure that there is a solution for this but I cannot figure out how to do it, and I was not successful for a moment to google for a correct solution

I am using xubuntu and there are a few types of files on website that instead of downloading and saving and then opening with emacs, I would rather when the radio button choice comes up say open with emacs. I am using xubuntu with xfce, and there is no line for a command to be entered as some ubuntu editions have. In the choice of changing the opening program from mousepad to something else, it says search and allows to navigate to find a program, but I cant find emacs anywhere not in etc/ or elsewhere. So where is its executable to direct the program chooser to?
View 1 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 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.

- running emacs with the "no window" option -nw works fine (but I don't like working with emacs in the terminal window).

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 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?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'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

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.
