Hi all,
It seems that when strace is running an app, that app's stderr output
disappears. Is this normal/expected? The problem doesn't seem to arise
if strace opens the app in a different window or sends its own output to
a log file, but both of those have their disadvantages.
Thanks,
Ryan
Hi all,
Strange one here... I just updated emacs and a bunch of other packages,
and for some reason 'emacs -nw' now backgrounds itself immediately after
starting, and again each time I try to foreground it afterward. If I run
