Hi Tony,
i am not really familiar with stderr so i tried to modify the command of the desktop icon to gvim -f F% 2> myerror.txt but without success. But I found something in the ~/.xsession-errors: Vim error reading input, exiting. Those problems appeared after installing some plugins so I guess i have to disable one by one to find out where the problem occurs. https://github.com/spf13/spf13-vim/issues/37 It would be nice to get some more debug information to find out where the problem occurs. Thanx for your help. greetz Andi -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
