Dear all, today I've installed emacs 20.3-5 on my Hurd partition. It works just fine on the console. But when I say emacs & or even emacs -q & in an xterm, a new blank window shows up and nothing (visible) further happens until it disappears again, leaving a message "Connection to X server .0:0" lost" behind in the xterm window. The exit code with which emacs quits is 70.
To solve this I've updated all the X packages, tried to set the DISPLAY variable manually, I also tried variations like export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 Furthermore, it doesn't make a difference if X was started through xdm or the startx command or whether emacs is started by a normal user or by root. However, these effort didn't make emacs work. Since I there is no "strace" for Hurd yet, I have no further information what emacs actually tries to do before quitting. Has anybody of you had the same problem? Is there a known solution? Or is emacs simply broken on GNU/Hurd? Ciao, Johannes P.S.: Is there any way to make gnupg work under GNU/Hurd? On my box it always complains that it is unable to get a memory lock and quits. -- ~/.signature under construction
