I don't know whether AWS supports SSH X11 Forwarding. But you can check
out this feature to get Linux desktop forwarding view as for Emacs
graphics.

I took a closer look into how other programs handle RRULE, DTSTART, DUE.

I tried the following CalDav servers:

Nextcloud, radicale

And the following clients:

Tasks.org, Thunderbird, Evolution. (I did not use Nextcloud client
because it doesn't support repeating tasks, even though the Nextcloud
server does).

Thunderbird and Evolution clients do not allow creating repeating tasks
without start date -- if you try to do so, they will force you to
specify one.

Tasks.org client does allow repeating tasks with only a deadline (no
start date).  Nextcloud and radicale servers happily accept the
repeating deadline from Tasks.org without start date. When I download
the ICS file from the server, the VTODO contains RRULE and DUE, but not
DTSTART. When I validate the ICS file with icalendar.org [1], it accepts
the ICS as valid, even though it seemingly violates the spec by missing
DTSTART.

So, it seems there is some inconsistency about this in the iCalendar
ecosystem.

I have not yet reached a firm conclusion on the best solution, but am
leaning towards your suggestion to use org-deadline-warning-days for
DTSTART in this case. I'll try to have a more concrete, updated patch on
this ready in a couple weeks or so.

[PATCH] lisp/org-id.el: Add new relative timestamp feature for `ts' `org-id-method'

[fernseed]

From: Kierin Bell 

* lisp/org-id.el (org-id-ts-relative, org-id-ts-relative-method):
(org-id-ts-effective-format):
(org-id-ts-elapsed-format): New custom variables controlling the
relative timestamp feature for the `ts' `org-id-method'.
(org-id-ts-format-strip-redundant): New function for 
`org-id-ts-effective-format'.
(org-id-ts-effective-from-keyword):
(org-id-ts-format-relative): New helper functions for generating
relative timestamps.
(org-id-new): Use the new variables to optionally generate IDs in the
new relative timestamp format.

* etc/ORG-NEWS (New relative timestamp feature now available for the
~ts~ ~org-id-method~): Document the new feature.
---
This patch introduces a new feature for the `ts` method specified by
`org-id-method' that allows for the creation IDs with relative
timestamps. This is my first patch for Emacs/Org mode. I have just
started the FSF copyright assignment process.

A separate commit would be cleaner. However, if it requires you to do too
much unnecessary rebasing, we can postpone it until the main translation
is merged.

Got it.  As evident from some of my other messages, I have therefore

All your paragraphs show up as long lines on my end, so evidently your
mobile email client soft-wraps your paragraphs for you (instead of
hard-wrapping, i.e., adding real newline chars).  Typical behavior on

Command not found when using Org + Guix + envrc.el

[Fabio Natali]

Hi!

I tend to set up my literate programming projects with:

- Emacs and Org
- Guix, to install the dependencies and create a development environment
- direnv, to automatically load the Guix environment
- envrc.el, to use direnv from Emacs

It's a great setup and I'm very grateful to the above projects, but
there are a few corner cases where things don't work as expected.

For instance:

- Define a Guix environment that includes Python (Python not being
  installed on the system otherwise)
- Create an envrc file that activates the Guix environment, e.g. via
  ~eval "$(guix shell --search-paths --manifest="$1")~
- In the same folder, create an Org file with a Python block

The block is evaluated correctly when a new Emacs instance is launched
from within the folder, and therefore from within the activated
environment.

However, things don't work as expected when using emacsclient with an
existing Emacs server. Thanks to envrc.el the Guix environment gets
apparently activated in the buffer, as confirmed by the envrc flag in
the modeline and by the output of =(getenv "PATH")=. However, evaluating
the block results in the following error:

#+begin_quote
/bin/bash: line 1: python: command not found
[ Babel evaluation exited with code 127 ]
#+end_quote

Tangentially, if the block's header includes =:session=, as in
=#+begin_src python :session=, then the error is slightly different and
is displayed in the minibuffer as opposed to a separate buffer:

#+begin_quote
make-process--with-editor-process-filter: Searching for program: No such file 
or directory, python
#+end_quote

Things work fine when manually setting =org-babel-python-command=, but
hardcoding the Guix store path is clearly inconvenient, to start with
it'd require constant update.

#+begin_quote
(setq-local org-babel-python-command "/gnu/store/...")
#+end_quote

Does anyone have any idea on how to investigate this further? I'm still
unsure whether this may have to do with envrc.el, Org Babel, or possibly
with some quirks in my configuration.

Thanks, cheers, Fabio.

mu4e does not support multiple selection when attaching files? AFAIK,
Emacs supports drag-and-drop for attachments.

IMHO, it will make sense to have an immediately visible alternative
link. So, secondary link will do. Or you may even make the Chinese link
primary, as the one that is more likely to be useful.

Publishing is quite a bit different. For example, it tries hard to make
the HTML anchors stable. There are other differences as well.

I tried your templates locally and I am not seeing any problem.

May you try to reproduce starting from emacs -Q?
Or, alternatively, try to use the following version of Org capture, use
C-g to exit, and report the (hopefully) more detailed backtrace.

  "Capture something.

This will let you select a template from `org-capture-templates', and
then file the newly captured information.  The text is immediately
inserted at the target location, and an indirect buffer is shown where
you can edit it.  Pressing `\\[org-capture-finalize]' brings you back to the \

template stores its notes.

With a `\\[universal-argument] \\[universal-argument]' prefix argument, go to \

When called with a `C-1' (one) prefix, force prompting for a date when
a datetree entry is made.

ELisp programs can set KEYS to a string associated with a template
in `org-capture-templates'.  In this case, interactive selection
will be bypassed.

If `org-capture-use-agenda-date' is non-nil, capturing from the
agenda will use the date at point as the default date.  Then, a

Fair point.
It was an actual bug showed up after switching to lexical scope.
Fixed, on bugfix.

Re: Checkbox dependencies and invisible tasks

Hello Ihor,

Ihor Radchenko  (2023-04-16 11:09 +):

I understand. However, the docstring of the variable says:

"Instead of t, this variable can also have the value ‘invisible’.
Then blocked tasks will be invisible and only become visible when
they become unblocked.  An exemption to this behavior is when a task is
blocked because of unchecked checkboxes below it.  Since checkboxes do
not show up in the agenda views, making this task invisible you remove any
trace from agenda views that there is something to do.  Therefore, a task
that is blocked because of checkboxes will never be made invisible, it
will only be dimmed."

I don't understand how this fits with the behavior you describe.

All the best,
Gautier.

As you instructed Org, checkboxes should be considered as task blockers,
if unchecked. Then, you instructed Org to hide blocked tasks in agenda.
Your "Test entry" is blocked by the checkbox. Thus, it is hidden in the
agenda.

`org-delete-indentation' did not support regions properly.
I tried to make things more consistent with `delete-indentation in the
attached patch.

May you please test the patch and let me know if there are any other
inconsistencies you observe?

* lisp/org.el (org-delete-indentation): Support active region when the
first line in region is a heading.  Clarify in the docstring that
region is ignored with prefix argument.

Checkbox dependencies and invisible tasks

[Gautier Ponsinet]

Hello everyone,

In an empty "emacs -Q" session, if I evaluate only the following lines:

(setq org-agenda-files '("~/agenda.org"))
(setq org-enforce-todo-checkbox-dependencies t)
(setq org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks 'invisible)

with the following agenda.org file:

* TODO Test entry
<2023-04-16 dim.>
- [ ] a checkbox

then the entry "Test entry" does not appear in the agenda or in the
Global list of TODO items !

Am I missing or misunderstanding something?

Version 3.24.36, cairo version 1.17.6) of 2023-01-03

All the best,
Gautier.

When I try to export this org-mode snippet as PDF, I get errors:
