Emacs24: emacsclient doesn't use global application menu

view story
linux-howto

http://askubuntu.com – I noticed that Emacs24 makes use of Unity's global application menu. (I'm using Damien Cassou's Emacs24 snapshots.) However, it doesn't do that when emacs, emacsclient or emacsclient.emacs24 are run but just with emacs24. How can I fix that? (Is that a bug? If so, should I file a report in Emacs' or libappmenu's bugtracker?) [EDIT]: As far as I can see this could be related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/appmenu-gtk/+bug/673302 . (HowTos)

I installed Emacs 24.1 from source and compiled in the directory /usr/local/src. But after that I got Emacs 24.2 from ppa:cassou. Now I have two versions of Emacs and I want to get rid of the older ones.

If have emacs and emacs-24.1 (both are the 24.1 version) in /usr/local/bin.

As the title says, I am having some trouble with apt-get after messing a bit with my emacs24 installation from ppa:cassou/emacs. I see the following after typing sudo apt-fast update && sudo apt-fast dist-upgrade -y:

Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Calculating upgrade...

I start emacs daemon with the following commnad.

$ emacs --daemon

This seems to work.

The first thing I did with my 11.10 install, was to remove Unity, and replace it with a customized Cairo Dock.

That was months ago, and everything has been working great.

Today I powered up my system, and the global menu somehow returned?

All of my apps/windows still have their own individual menu's, but the main global menu has somehow found its way back onto the top of my screen.

Wireless issue in openSUSE 3 years 25 weeks ago

I was using Ubunutu for the past few years, but recent release has a nasty bug with wireless driver, that leaves my laptop useless (I depend heavily on wireless).

Hi all,

New user of Ubuntu (and emacs for that matter).

Running a 32-bit Ubuntu 12.04 virtual machine on a 64-bit Win7 host.

Wireless issue in Fedora 12 3 years 25 weeks ago

I was using Ubunutu for the past few years, but recent release has a nasty bug with wireless driver, that leaves my laptop useless (I depend heavily on wireless).

I want to use emacs command as a substitution for emacsclient -c -a "", which according to man connects to an existing emacs daemon, or creates a new daemon and connects to it otherwise. So i created a shell script emacs, which calls the aforementioned command in my ~/bin, which itself is included in $PATH.

I'm currently experiencing the issue described in:

Can anybody help me work around it? Thank you very much.
