[Desktop-packages] [Bug 543611] Re: emacsclient -c randomly crashes emacs about 1 in every 5 to 10 times
There's some nuance here. This bug is GTK-related. If your emacs daemon is not compiled with gtk support (either a terminal-only version of compiled with the lucid toolkit), then you will not see this bug. Even if your emacs is compiled with gtk, you will still not see the bug unless you actually create (and then destroy) an emacs X window that uses GTK, so doing emacsclient -nw should not trigger the bug. But doing emacsclient -c with the same daemon later should still cause a crash. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gtk+2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/543611 Title: emacsclient -c randomly crashes emacs about 1 in every 5 to 10 times Status in GNU Emacs: Fix Released Status in GTK+ GUI Toolkit: Confirmed Status in “emacs23” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “gtk+2.0” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: emacs23 I am trying to start using emacs --daemon and emacsclient, so that I can easily have multiple emacs windows sharing a single process.
