I guess my problem has the same root cause: since 13.04 I cannot run emacs as root anymore. to be more precise:
emacs -q hangs immediately with the same message: GLib-WARNING **: GChildWatchSource: ... emacs -Q works, but then running dired on any dir freezes again with the same message opening git-controlled files freezes as well running (setq vc-handled-backends ()) after the start does help for the git-controlled files, but not for the dired so the root cause most likely isn't vc-mode but somewhere else. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1175422 Title: Cannot open a file in a directory under control of Mecurial To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/emacs24/+bug/1175422/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
