Re: [O] Can't export in 7.8.11 and can't get 8.0.4 to work
Thanks for your help. I had failed to include (package-initialize) in my .emacs which was why 8.0.4 was not working. Problem solved!

[O] Can't export in 7.8.11 and can't get 8.0.4 to work
I'm using emacs 24.2.1 in Ubuntu 13.04. In the supplied org-mode version 7.8.11, I cannot export. When I attempt to export (c-e c-a) I get: Can't find library org. If I use the package installer to upgrade org I get version 8.0.4 but it then fails to complete my initialisation with: Symbol's function definition is void: org-defvaralias This is the backtrace: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function org-defvaralias) org-defvaralias(org-agenda-filter-preset org-agenda-tag-filter-preset) byte-code(\300\301\302\\210\300\303\304\\207 [org-defvaralias org-agenda-filter-preset org-agenda-tag-filter-preset org-agenda-filter org-agenda-tag-filter] 3) (org-agenda-list) (lambda nil (if (y-or-n-p-with-timeout Update notes? 7 t) (progn (message Updating ~/notes...)

I don't really mind if I use 7.8.11 or 8.0.4 but I need it to load my org-files without breaking and I need to be able to export them (usually as html but pdf is great too on occasion). Does anyone have a workaround or fix for this?
Re: [O] Can't export in 7.8.11 and can't get 8.0.4 to work
I followed the instructions and I did that. Then I started a new session with it installed which is when I got the bug.

[O] org-mode no longer picking up scheduled tasks when upgraded to 8.0.3
I use org-mode all the time and find it invaluable. I recently upgraded my ubuntu environment to 13.04 and emacs 24.2.1 came with it. org-mode was working fine within it out of the box except it failed with Symbol's function definition is void: org-defvaralias when I restarted the machine this morning. Not finding much on google I decided to upgrade org-mode to the latest release so I added (require 'package) (add-to-list 'package-archives '(org . http://orgmode.org/elpa/;) t) (unless package-archive-contents;; Refresh the packages descriptions (package-refresh-contents)) (setq package-load-list '(all)) ;; List of packages to load (unless (package-installed-p 'org) ;; Make sure the Org package is (package-install 'org)) ;; installed, install it if not (package-initialize);; Initialize Install Package to my init as per http://orgmode.org/elpa.html#. This gave me org-version 8.0.3 Now my agenda is completely blank with no tasks displaying at all (they also fail to display in the other views). A message org-agenda-skip: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil appears when I try to recalculate the agenda view. I know that something is now failing in one of my org files because if I reset org-agenda-files to a simple test file it works. However, I have literally dozens of org files, some of which are many thousands of lines long because I use them for client documentation. They were working fine in the previous version of org-mode. Another, possibly related issue is that when emacs opens and the agenda is calculated, the test file buffer is marked as changed when it is not changed. Is there some way I can easily narrow down the issue or perhaps restore the robustness of the previous org-mode version?

Re: [O] Is there a way to selectively change the line spacing for visual line mode?
Thanks Brian, but that does not help me adjust the line spacing or height of a line. I use emacs24 for organising, programming in Python, PHP and for writing fiction. Visual line mode is perfect except for the minor irritation of my having to put in that extra linefeed to clearly visually separate paragraphs. Being able to turn visual mode off is handy too - each paragraph ends up on one line - its effectively folding for fiction ;) - very handy when scanning a 10k+ word story. The 'enhancement' I'm after is being able to make the explicit newline take up more screen height than the implicit newline used in visual-line-mode so that there is no need to put in two explicit newlines to separate paragraphs clearly. I think this would be universally appreciated. I guess I could possibly dig into the code and rebind the line-spacing within the visual-line-mode relevant scope but it would take me an age to work out how to do that.

[O] capture whenever
I had trouble getting org-capture to behave from a hotkey: It worked fine but would not give the emacs buffer focus making it pretty useless. I worked around the problem using wmctrl (which is in the debian/ubuntu repos). I created a small script: === #!/bin/bash wmctrl -Fa 'emacs@dev' emacsclient org-protocol:/capture:/foo/ where 'emacs@dev' is the title of my main emacs window when it comes up. The script works fine even though the window's title changes when I use multiple windows. Now when I hit the pause key, the script runs and I can capture the thought or snippet without interrupting what I'm doing. I'm sure there is a better way but this works. It would be nice to avoid needing wmctrl (I searched in vain for the 'give focus' option on emacsclient) and to be able to drop the '/foo/' (without which it breaks). Thanks for the help getting there.

[O] org-remember from anywhere
Hi there,
I've been enjoying org-mode for a good few months now and I love it.
I'm using the following versions in both Ubuntu 10.04 on my desktop
and 12.04 on my laptop.
#+BEGIN_SRC lisp
(org-version)
Org-mode version 7.8.11
Org-mode version 7.8.11
(emacs-version)
GNU Emacs 24.1.50.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.1)
of 2012-05-25 on muntries, modified by Debian
#+END_SRC
I've recently started using org-remember/capture and its working well
although I found the presence of org-remember and org-capture
confusing.
I have been trying to get the capture working from anywhere using
[[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-protocol.html][this guide]]
so that it drops the captured note into my misc journal. It works fine
when I'm in emacs (which is about 50% of my working time). Here is my
setup:
#+BEGIN_SRC lisp
;;; Capture setup
(org-remember-insinuate)
(setq org-directory ~/notes/)
(setq org-default-notes-file (concat org-directory misc.org))
(setq org-remember-default-headline Incoming)
(define-key global-map \C-cr 'org-remember)
(setq org-remember-templates
'((Todo ?t * TODO %^{Title} %u\n%?\n%i\n%a\n)))
;;; Capture from anywhere
(require 'org-protocol)
(defun org-protocol-capture (data)
;; Capture (ignore data for now)
(org-remember))
(add-to-list 'org-protocol-protocol-alist
'(Remember
:protocol my-org-capture
:function org-protocol-capture))
#+END_SRC
(start-server) is called earlier in the setup.
I intend to stick the command line invokation onto a hot key
combination so I can enter emacs notes from anywhere.
(orb-protocol-capture) works in emacs but when I try the command line
I get this:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
~ $ emacsclient org-protocol://org-capture//
Waiting for Emacs...
\*ERROR*: Wrong type argument: stringp, org-capture
~ $ emacsclient org-protocol://org-capture//foo
Waiting for Emacs...
\*ERROR*: Wrong type argument: stringp, org-capture
#+END_SRC
What am I doing wrong?
Feel free to point me at the right manual or guide. From the notes it
looked like this feature might once have been built in.

Paul Whipp

PS: I usually export the org as html but for some reason the above
headed section just did nothing. A separate issue I'll look into
sometime but if anyone knows the answer I'd be grateful.
