[ubuntu] emacsclient: command not found

view story
linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – 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. My problem is as follows: Open emacs 23 and turn on server mode using the command =M-x server-start=. Server mode seems to be running (if I try to turn it on again, emacs tells me that a server is already running), but I'm not a very experienced user of emacs, so am somewhat unsure. Open a Bash shell and try to call emacsclient to edit some arbitrary script. I.e., type =emacsclient [filename]=. Terminal returns error message: =emacsclient: command not found= ED (Hardware)

emacsclient: command not found 24 weeks 17 min ago

Having what feels like a really weird problem.

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

Open Emancs 23 and turn on server mode. In the Bash shell, try to call emacsclient to edit some arbitrary script. The terminal just fires straight back, "emacsclient: command not found".

Is there something that is likely to be missing? Some way of updating the bash shell?

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 start emacs daemon with the following commnad.

$ emacs --daemon

This seems to work.

I've got (in my .emacs)

(set-background-color "#101416") (set-foreground-color "#f6f3e8")

And I've got 2 bindings:

alias ex='emacsclient -nw' alias ec='emacsclient -c -a ""'

ex works fine to open client in terminal but when I want to open it as a frame I've got white background.

Why and how can I use my dark background there?

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?

I've just updated to 12.04. Everything works fine except for the latest custom-build emacs. It says now:

emacs: symbol lookup error: emacs: undefined symbol: gtk_window_set_has_resize_grip

So I've decided to re-build emacs.

[ubuntu] Emacs and nesC mode 1 year 16 weeks ago

Hi,

I hope this is the good section for my problem. I just installer tinyos on Ubuntu 11.10, but I can't install nesC mode for emacs...

I tried to install emacs-nesc-el an rpm that I installed with alien, without problem.

I am using Linux Fedora 13 (Constantine) and emacs 23.1.1. I am trying to set up a .emacs file for initialization, by using emacs itself to edit and save a file .emacs in my home directory. However, although the file is there, emacs does not seem to recognize it.

Emacs as Root 1 year 16 weeks ago

Running 'sudo emacs -nw ....' works, but does not give me any of the customizations in my ~/.emacs file. This is because emacs is looking in /home/root/.emacs? I created a soft link from my ~/.emacs to the root's home, but then emacs was not happy about other code it required in ~/.emacs.d/.
