ssh fails with "Bad file descriptor" on Interix (SFU)

AKF_SDS — 2013-05-20T02:57:15

Be forewarned, this is a bit complex...

I'm running Emacs v23.1 on Windows XP. Within Emacs I'm running
Gentoo-Prefix via Interix v3.5. With this setup ssh hangs without output. I
ran ssh with truss and received the output below. What stuck out to me was
the repetition of:
    close(/some number/) close failed: errno 9, Bad file descriptor

No other utilities have this issue. Has anyone seen this bug before? Can
anyone point me in the direction of a fix?

SIGINT on Windows

2013-05-09T15:55:23

Hi guys

After an upgrade to Windows 7 Ctrl-C Ctrl-C has stopped working for me
within shells i.e. it doesn't kill the running process. Instead it just
prints C-c C-c to the buffer.

I've tried:

*         various versions of emacs

*         shell, eshell, term, ansi-term

*         calling cygwin bash as opposed to the normal Windows cmd.exe

*         adding the CYGWIN=tty env variable

 

But no beans. I simply cannot kill my long running processes.

Any ideas for this as it's killing my productivity!

Thanks!

 

Ben

UltraVNC and C-A chords

Ken Goldman — 2013-05-06T20:09:16

(Sending to an emacs group, because who else tries to do this)

I'm running UltraVNC from Windows 7 to Linux.  UltraVNC does not pass 
chords like C-A-q and C-A-\.

Any work around?

OS specific behavior with dired

Tony Cappellini — 2013-04-28T04:07:56

I'm relatively new to emacs, and wanted to start with my init.el empty,
so that I could modify it gradually and learn how the changes affect the
behavior of emacs.

With that in mind, my init.el is still pretty lean and basic.
I also use the same init.el file between my Windows machines and my Macbook
Pro.

I'm using Emacs 23.3 on both Windows & Mac

I have not modified the behavior of dired, but it behaves a little
differently for each OS.
On the Mac, dired opens up two vertical windows, on Windows it opens up two
horizontal windows.
While that isn't significantly different, It  makes me wonder what other
gotchas are waiting to cause me problems
learning to use Emacs.

So- to start, I'd like to modify init.el so that dired opens vertical
windows for both machines.
I already have code in my init.el to execute Windows specific and Mac
specific changes (f needed)

1. How do I modify dired's behavior so that vertical windows are always
opened?
2. How do I modify dired so that it doesn't keep switching from one window
to the other when I click on a directory name? There's no reason why dired
doesn't re-use the same window. With that in mind If I want to go back to
the
previous selection, how would I do this?

Thanks

Not all files displayed in directory listing

bsamek — 2013-04-20T02:02:23

If I do 'M-x shell' and type 'dir', it doesn't display every file. The java
executables are missing (http://i.imgur.com/7JwyDED.png). I also can't
invoke 'java' from the Emacs shell. What's going on?

Thanks,

Brian

Add 'emacs' as file association in Ubuntu

m silverstri — 2013-04-19T17:59:13

Hi,

I download, compile and install 'emacs 24.3' on my ubuntu machine.
I can run it via command prompt, but who can I add 'emacs' as one of the
"Open with Other application" applications inubuntu nautilus?

I can't select 'emacs' when I right click a file from ubuntu nautilus.

Thank you.

Project files with emacs

Tony Cappellini — 2013-04-18T00:25:39

I'm relatively new to emacs, but have used it on & off over the years.
At this point in time, I'm starting from scratch and have gone through the
tutorial, specific chapters of 2 different books on emacs,
and a number of emacs websites. Many of emacs features I don't need, but
the ones I do need I"m having problems getting them to work.


I've done a fair amount of googling too, so I've come to the conclusion
that I'm probably using the wrong nomenclature to do my searching.

Many "programmers editors" have the notion of a "project file", which
associates many files to a project.
I haven't been able to find out how to do this in emacs.

I work with a several proprietary scripting languages which don't need to
be compiled, so make file and compilation are not an issue.
(I'm also working with Python files too, but getting Python mode working
has been such a problem , that I'm getting ready to bail on emacs and use
vim)

I'd just like to be able to associate several files with a project, so that
they all get reopened the next time I'm working on that project.

Would someone point me to a website or docs on how to do this with emacs?

Thanks

emacs 24 - mouse drag does not highlight

Ken Goldman — 2013-04-02T15:54:27

Something else changed between 23 and 24.  How do I get the 23
behavior back?

In 24, if I down-mouse-1 and start to drag to select a region, the 
region is not highlighted until I release the mouse.  In 23, it 
highlighted as I dragged, what I consider normal for both Windows and Linux.

I don't have anything in .emacs for mouse-1.

C-h k mouse-1 says this when I release it:
<down-mouse-1> at that spot runs the command mouse-drag-region

I have this in .emacs to make cut and paste work for Windows 7 and emacs 24.

(setq select-active-regions nil)
(setq mouse-drag-copy-region t)

Also, transient-mark-mode is t.

emacs support for multiple clipboard formats

Buchs, Kevin — 2013-03-29T13:57:50

One of the cases where I seem to resort to tools other than emacs for
capturing information involve copying from a web browser with text with
hyperlinks. Has anyone opened a door to emacs accepting clipboard input
in html format or other non-plain-text?

Cannot set start of daylight savings time

bostjanv — 2013-03-14T15:22:28

Hello,

Emacs manual states that to change the start or end of daylight savings time
from the default value (Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA), one has to change
the values of calendar-daylight-savings-starts and
calendar-daylight-savings-ends. However, all my attempts to do so are
failing. I am using the call of emacs (version 24.2.1), "runemacs
--no-splash --no-site-file", and the following simple init.el file:

START OF FILE
(load "cal-dst")

(setq calendar-daylight-savings-starts '(calendar-nth-named-day -1 0 3
year))
;(setq calendar-daylight-savings-starts nil)
(setq calendar-daylight-savings-ends '(calendar-nth-named-day -1 0 10 year))
;(setq calendar-daylight-savings-ends nil)
(setq calendar-daylight-time-offset 60)
(setq calendar-daylight-savings-starts-time 180)
(setq calendar-daylight-savings-ends-time 180)
END OF FILE

after which I evaluated the form

(format-time-string "%H:%M ")

None of the two values seen above (one of which is commented out) result in
any change (I always get the Cambridge, Massachusetts version). Can someone,
please, tell me what I am doing wrong?

Regards,
bostjanv

emacsw32+gdb cursor warping

Jeremy Greene — 2013-01-24T21:58:32

Running win7, gdb 7.4, latest mingw, msys.

Running gdb in emacs window. Hit a breakpoint, source code and marker of breakpoint is shown -- all good.
Then move elsewhere in the source buffer. And then in gdb command buffer execute any gdb command, like "p <var>".  This causes the emacs source buffer to move back to the breakpoint!! If somewhere a bit far from the breakpoint, and trying to look at a bunch of variables, it's not good. I have looked high and low for some emacs variable to control this behavior, but haven't found one. And I've never seen this happen on any non-windows emacs+gdb.

Anyone know how to disable "emacsw32 cursor warping"?!

Thanks,
 Jeremy

Here's the version info -- so it would seem I have the one built for mingw. But I will try the latest, thanks.
Btw, I found that describe-variable of gud-marker-acc had, in fact, the tons of spaces in it.
So... my level of elisp ability limited me to adding the following at line 1791 in gdb-mi.el. With that, the worst of the behavior goes away... still adds a bunch of spaces, but not a huge number.
  (setq gud-marker-acc "")
I'm sure I'm breaking something else, but at least I can use it.

gdb program output problem

Jeremy Greene — 2013-01-24T16:18:48

Hi,

I just updated mingw, msys and emacsw32. It does appear that the latest gdb also got updated in the process.

GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7601)
of 2009-11-03 on LENNART-69DE564 (patched)
Copyright (C) 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

GNU gdb (GDB) 7.4
Copyright (C) 2012 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Running win7, 64b.
When I use gdb, to debug a C++ program with simple printf, I get a seemingly random, but often huge, number of spaces before or after the text of the printf.
Has anyone else seen this? It makes using gdb very difficult to use.
If I run the program from the msys shell, no spaces.
Oddly enough, I have used mingw, msys and emacscw32 in the past without this happening. I think it was at least a 1.5 years ago when last used, so when I ran into the problem, I went and re-installed the whole set. But no difference.
I did add the patch to gdb-mi.el for the breakpoint filter problem. However, that did not affect the printf problem (not that it likely would, since the output problem occurs with no breakpoints - just a straight program run).

(btw, I'm not on the list, so please cc me on any greatly appreciated help!!)

change default pdf viewer

Oliver Jones — 2013-01-17T17:07:14

Hi everyone,

I try to change the default pdf viewer that is used by ess (emacs speaks statistics).
When I compile LaTeX file via the command M-x P choosing pdflatex, the acrobat reader shows up.
I tried changing to SumatraPDF via M-x customize-group RET ess RET and changing the value of 
ess-pdf-viewer-pref, but still acrobat show up. This is been saved to my iinit.el (after 
customizing and saving for future sessions):

  '(ess-pdf-viewer-pref (quote ("C:/Programme/SumatraPDF/SumatraPDF.exe" "-reuse-instance")))

Hope anyone can help.

Best
Oliver

AUCTeX and SumatraPDF

Oliver Jones — 2013-01-16T13:39:30

Hi everyone,

I try to set up forward and inverse search for emacs 24.2.1 and AUCTeX using SumatraPDF on a 
Windows XP.

I followed the instruction of Titus Barik

http://www.barik.net/archive/2012/07/18/154432/comment-page-1/#comment-513166

but want to modify it in a way that I can do the following workflow:


1. Use latex to generate a .dvi.
    (i.e. C-c C-c LaTex
2. Convert the .dvi to a .ps using dvips.exe
    (i.e. C-c C-c File)
3. Convert the .ps to a .pdf using Ghostscript
    (i.e. C-c C-c ps2pdf
     where ps2pdf is gswin32c.exe -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite 
-sOutputFile=%ff -c save pop -f %f
     and %ff expands to file with arguments "pdf" and t

Writing this looks like I would know what I'm doing, but I just started using (i.e. 
configuring) emacs a week ago.

Two things are troubling me:

First:
Since my workflow starts with latex the standard viewer is yap.
How can change the viewer to SumatraPDF after I executed my ps2pdf command?

Second:
If I change to output-pdf by clicking in Commands -> TeXing Options -> Generate PDF then 
SumatraPDF is the viewer. But it starts up several instances of SumatraPDF where it tries to 
open myfilename.tex and some misterious numer e.g. 17 (it's not always the same number)
Here is the command that is executed:

"C:/Programme/SumatraPDF/SumatraPDF.exe" -reuse-instance -forward-search myfilename.tex 17 
"myfilename.pdf"

Thanks for considering.
Kind regards
Oliver

How to invoke Windows programs on a file from dired

MBR — 2013-01-14T18:07:51

The Emacs analog to Windows Explorer is dired (directory editor). In 
Windows Explorer you can select a file, right-click, and select an 
operation to perform on that file. In Emacs dired you can select a file 
and perform an operation on that file.

However the set of operations Emacs knows about is different from the 
set of operations Windows Explorer knows about.  In addition to the 
usual dired operations, I'd really like to be able to run the operations 
Windows Explorer knows about from within the Windows version of Emacs.  
Does anyone know if this capability has ever been implemented?  If so, 
what do I need to install?

Displaying Unicode - font substitution for missing glyphs

John Brown — 2013-01-13T15:25:10

Hello All,

I tested emacs 24.2.1 on Windows (8) with

http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/examples/UTF-8-demo.txt,
which, as the name suggests, is a UTF-8 encoded file that
contains text in various languages, and special symbols such as
the euro.

I found that Courier New contained several missing glyphs, so
I experimented with other fixed-width fonts and got fewest
unrecognised characters with DejaVu Sans Mono.

Firefox displays all the characters, even though its default
fonts "Times New Roman", "Arial" and "Courier New" did not 

do well in emacs.

I found
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2011-07/msg00624.html,
where the poster said:

"I /think/ that in X, emacs will select the
closest font it can find to in order to get the characters it needs.
However, in Windows, it will only use the default font (or whatever
is explicitly specified for the face), even if that font is missing
characters."


Another poster in that thread said in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2011-07/msg00646.html
that font substitution seemed to be working for him with a
binary that he got from 

http://code.google.com/p/emacs-for-windows/ 


On Linux (Ubuntu 12.04 - Precise Pangolin) I see that emacs 23.3.1 

displays all the symbols in the default font (whatever it was; I
did not have to change it) and in any other font that I tried,
although on Linux only a handful of fonts were available.

Why is emacs able to display all the characters on Linux but not
on Windows?

Regards,
John Brown.

Emacs 24.2.1 will not save files sometimes

Peter Milliken — 2013-01-10T23:16:37

modify and save a file - message area says it is saved, but status line
indicates still modified.

No error messages anywhere. File NOT saved on disk.

This does not happen with all files - when 24.1 came out I downloaded it
and it happened almost straight away - I was busy at the time, so I just
reverted to my 23.4.1 installation and ignored it, figuring it seemed like
a fairly serious bug and it would be reported and fixed pretty quickly.

This was under WinXP

I got a new machine here at work with Win7 installed and I noticed that
Emacs was now 24.2.1, so I decided to try again - same problem.

So back to 23.4.1 I go.

Change the same file (that would not save under 24.2.1) with 23.4.1 and it
works fine. Try 24.2.1 again - same problem.

The file where I experienced the problem was a Python source code file. I
was quite happily changing a makefile at the same time without any issues -
they were in different directories though. That is about all I can tell you.

Again - absolutely no error messages/dumps or anything. The editor just
sits there saying it saved the file but indicating that the buffer is still
modified.

Regards
Peter

Can't open affix or dictionary flies

Oliver Jones — 2013-01-10T16:35:16

Hello everone,

this is my first eMail to the list.
I have trouble getting spellchecking to work with Emacs 24.2.1 and Hunspell 1.3.2 on Windows XP.

I have read the help about spelling in the built in manual and searched the internet where I 
found advice to include these lines to my ~/.emacs.d/init.el file.

(setq ispell-dictionary-alist

Dateien\\dictionaries\\de_DE_frami" "-i" "utf-8") nil utf-8)
      ("english"
       "[A-Za-z]" "[^A-Za-z]" "[']" nil
       ("-d" "en_GB") nil utf-8)
      ("german"

     (progn
       (setq ispell-dictionary "german"
         ispell-extra-args '("-a" "-i" "utf-8") ; aspell doesn't understand -i utf-8, hunspell

         ispell-silently-savep t)))
(setq ispell-program-name "C:\\Dokumente und Einstellungen\\ojones\\Eigene 
Dateien\\hunspell-mingw-1.3.2-win32\\bin\\hunspell.exe")

where I made changes regarding the path to the affix and dictionary files and the hunspell.exe.

I verified that hunspell works, by executing it on the command line.

When I type M-x ispell in emacs I get the following error message

Can't open affix or dictionary flies for dictionary named "german".
< at >(#) International Ispell Version 3.2.06 (but really Hunspell 1.3.2)
< at >(#) International Ispell Version 3.2.06 (but really Hunspell 1.3.2)

Any help is highly appreciated.

is undefined in nXML mode

John Brown — 2013-01-04T22:46:28

Hello All,

I am not certain that this is specific to Windows, but since
I am on Windows, I will report it here.

C-Return (or M-Tab) is supposed to give me context-sensitive
completion of my XML document, but instead I get:

<C-return> is undefined.

I cannot use M-Tab because it is used by Windows to switch
between active Windows. How can I enable C-Return in nXML
mode?

Regards,
John Brown.
