No cursor in emacs with tmux

I'm running emacs in tmux and the cursor doesn't seem to appear. When I run emacs outside of tmux everything is fine. I'm not sure where to start debugging this or what could be relevant to this problem. It was working before I upgraded to tmux-2.0.

I still don't get why it has to be a login shell. Are you using a DM that breaks that functionality?
IMO, this is why you are experiencing term-related issues: your setup is unnecessarily convoluted. Try starting from a simple interactive shell, see if it works there, and then add the bits and pieces back until it breaks.
Is there a better way to set this up? Probably. I guess it depends on what you are trying to do; only have a single tmux session?

How do I do to conect an Emac with a Mac Book Pro Mid 2009

I want to conect my Emac with my Mac Book Pro Mid 2009 in order to share and move files. I bought a firewire cable 9 pins to 6 pins and conected both computers but I am unable to see the hard drives and move files.

You eMac will need to be booted into Target Disk Mode.
Restart the eMac and hold the T key. It will then show up on your MBPs Desktop.

When mousing over text, the cursor flickers constantly (with each letter passed) from arrow to i-beam and back. The problem occurs in both MS Word and Pages. Any idea of how to resolve this annoying problem is appreciated. System: 10.10.1

The mouse is controlled by the OS so don't guess any app other than a mouse driver or OS X itself would be able to cause this sort of flicker issue.
Have you seen the following and is it what you are seeing? Maybe you could make a movie (Quicktime is great for this this to make a screen recording) - but not sure how to attach a movie to these discussions as mine is grayed out and can't be selected (to the right of the insert image). Here is the what I found for a search of "mouse cursor flickers os x yosemite"

What kind of mouse are you using? Is the mouse driver up to date if it's a third party mouse?

(URGENT) eMac with leopard running FCE 2?

I have an apple eMac running 10.5.8 and i got a great deal on FCE 2.0 i was wondering if this would work on the machine?

Yes, FCE 2 should run fine on an eMac with 10.5.8
If it were me, I'd prefer FCE 3 or 3.5 on your machine but if your deal is for FCE 2, you'll be fine.

Running eMac with Broken CRT... Dangerous? Disconnect-able?

I have on hand a 1.25ghz emac. The logic board and all hardware work. The CRT was damaged in shipping. At start up, there is a "squeel" and a little bit of a spark in the back. I've been using it "in proxy" with Leopard's "Share Screen" mode. Pretty slick! But what risk am I posing by using an eMac with the Broken CRT?
If no "hazardous" elements are involved, can the power to the display be disconnected from the down converter or something? Leaving the power to go to the Mobo? It would be nice to not have the CRT being powered up....
Thanks in advance.
Dave

If it is making a noise and sparking, that ought to be corrected to be safe.

The article seems partly experimental rather than proven, but you may get some useful understanding of what is involved.
If you succeed, post back and tell us the outcome. I am not one to throw away things if only one component has gone, so I applaud your resourcefulness. Just don't get zapped! Good luck.

Building Emacs with Xft on Arch64

When I try do build Emacs with Xft (I tried both the source and AUR) I get the following error:
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/lib64/crt1.o', needed by `temacs'. Stop.
On my machine crt1.o is in /usr/lib not in /usr/lib64.
Probably there is an easy way to solve this.
Thanks for any help,
Markus.

try adding --libdir=/usr/lib to the configure options.

Help Migrating from eMac with 10.4 to Mac Mini with 10.5.8

Hi All,
I'm stumped. My friend has an old eMac with 10.4 on it, and when I upgraded my machine from a Mac Mini, I decided to donate it to her. I thought I'd be able to use Migration Assistant, but it apparently needs at least 10.5 on both machines. I tried to upgrade her eMac to 10.5, but it's so old and clunky, it just freezes when you try (it's only got 256MB of RAM).
Any ideas? Since there's no time machine on 10.4, that's not an option - but she does have an external hard-drive that I could use.
Thanks all -

Erase and install the Mac Mini and then when prompted at restart tell it to import the data from the eMac - it should just work. It is always better to erase and install if you get a second hand machine anyway both for security purposes (for the old user) and also to ensure that none of the stuff left behind by the previous user will interfere with your usage of your new Mac

Installing emacs with xorg

Hello,
I just installed arch last night and managed to get my network up and running in less than 20 minutes! So far, I am loving it! The problem I have is: how do I go about installing emacs with x.org server? When I try installing emacs it requires xaw3d which by itself asks for xfree86 which apparently conflicts with xorg.
In general, how to install packages and 'ignore' certain dependancies? I realize the popular opinion is that it's bad, but, for example, I know I don't need xorg to run just plain console emacs.
I'm coming from the world of Slackware and I'm sort of used to no-dependancy-checking so...
A very nice forum BTW,

good luck

Digital Camcorder & router/Airport USB 2.0 to connect eMac with only USB 1

I've looked around and asked many sources, only to come to the same conclusion that I already thought I knew... no way to go from USB 2.0 through another interface to use firewire on an eMac with only USB 1.1.
I'm curious if anyone has connected a router with a USB 2.0 to an older mac, eMac and/or TiBook in my case via ethernet so that a digital camcorder might appear under the ip-based items available from the router?
there is no reason, other than it being painfully slow over USB 1.1 to think beyond the eMac as it otherwise does every task necessary for my in-laws perfectly. never had a single problem that wasn't caused by their inexperience with a computer, which also makes using a mac so much easier to troubleshoot and fix. they just bought a nice digital hdd (hard disk drive, not hd res) camcorder that communicates via USB 2.0 (as almost all do nowadays).
will any router, or more-specifically an Airport router, be able to communicate with the camcorder via its own USB 2.0 interface and then distribute that data over ethernet to the eMac, or would the router be hamstrung by the same USB 1.1 bottleneck that would affect it if done directly.
I'm also open to other alternatives... I haven't had a chance to play with the camcorder yet, but I imagine that it will somehow mount to the desktop were it able to comm via 2.0. any thoughts?
cheers,
- jeremy

hi duane,
thanks for the quick reply. excellent info.
i noticed that your email said more than the post, did you edit out the last statement, as that was what i was going to comment on...?
my digi camcorder, a tape-based model, does show up like a volume on the desktop, but i wasn't sure of the new hd-based one that my in-laws purchased would. i am able to see the other not just in imovie, so perhps it will mount in the usb port of a router. i don't have an AEBS, but would purchase one specifically for this use if it did work. however i will test it on my us robotics and belkin models that have usb as well. i might also try my NAS drive that has a usb port for daisy-chaining more usb items.
the good thing is that the bottleneck on the emac won't affect the process, it's just a matter of whether the hdd-camcorder can be mounted via one of the other options.
thanks for the other comments, i'll mark as answered once i see how it goes...
anyone else have any thoughts?

I have two different emacs with two slightly different problems

Hello,
I just recently got three emacs in used condition. One works perfectly (I'm typing from it right now), but the other two are giving me problems, and I'm not sure what could be causing the problems.
The first one takes a long time to load into Mac OS X 10.4, and when it does, it doesn't seem to recognize any of my usb devices.
The second one usually freezes at a blue screen, but sometimes, it will get to the desktop, which is possibly frozen as well, because my usb keyboard and mouse do not work on this one as well.
What can I narrow these problems down to?
Thanks
Nami

Welcome!
The first step with used eMacs that act out is to see if they fall in a range of machines that had a near-fatal logic board defect. This affects 1.0G and 1.25Ghz eMacs with USB 2.0 logic boards. The easiest way to check is to see if the computers' serial numbers fall in any of these ranges:
G8412xxxxxx- G8520xxxxxx
YM412xxxxxx - YM520xxxxxx
VM440xxxxxx - VM516xxxxxx
If so, there is little an individual can do to correct the problem as it requires a new logic board or, at least, skill in removing and replacing small logic board components.
The number can be found inside the optical bay door:
NOTE: If the computer is an Apple refurbished unit, the serial number will start with "R" or "RM" and the above number ranges cannot be used to to identify a potentially defective logic board.
If you live on the West Coast of the United States, there is a shop in Eugene, OR, that used to offered an affordable LB repair that corrects the issue, If you're not close to Oregon, the cost of shipping a 50-pound computer can double the cost of the repair.
So, basically, the first thing is to see if this condition exists before investing more time (or money).

Wifi concerns replacing eMac with new mac mini

I have an eMac (PPC) which is currently maxed out at 10.5.8. I was thinking of upgrading to a mac mini. My only concern is that I currently have an old mac mini (late 2006) and it's ability to use wifi with its internal airport interface is severely limited. The only placment I have found this mac mini to reliably work in is if the mac mini and the wifi router (belkin) are located in the same room. The eMac I'm thinking about replacing is on a different floor than the router it's airport interface just works, as do all of our laptops. I understand that some the wifi problems with this mac mini might have to do with the antenna placement in its chassis. So my question is has Apple improved the reliability of the airport interface in the mac mini ?

The router is really NOT the issue as far as I can tell. Laptops situated right next to the mac mini have no problem getting and maintaining a connection. The eMac with a much older airport card and situated on the same floor as the mac mini, maintains its connection as well. The late 2006 mac mini initially starts off with a good connection but within 10-20 minutes after startup, the connection goes bad, and won't return no matter how many times one reboots. If I shutdown the mac mini and restart it after an hour or so, the connection becomes solid again for about 10-20 minutes. Interestingly, when the mac mini is in the same room as the router, the connection starts out solid and stays solid.
My concern, from what I can tell, is that the basic chassis design of the new mac minis don't appear to be that much different in concept than my late 2006 mac mini, except for missing the CD R/W drive and being more compact. Is there an inherent design flaw in the mac mini (older and current versions) that degrades wifi connectivity in cases where the mac mini is not within line of site of the router?

Cursor / window disappears with rxvt-unicode + xcompmgr + Xft font

The issue described in this thread is still outstanding for a number of users.
It seems to boil down to this: when using rxvt-unicode with xcompmgr and an Xft font (Liberation Mono, DejaVu Sans Mono, and Terminus were among those tested), the terminal cursor will disappear. Typing some text and pressing backspace will cause it to reappear.
Furthermore, the entire window sometimes disappears when switching workspaces in Openbox. Repeated workspace switches or minimizing / restoring the window (via a panel, such as tint2) can make it reappear.
A workaround is to set URxvt*cursorUnderline in ~/.Xdefaults, but some users prefer a block cursor.

The suggestion of installing libxft-lcd was made. I did so, commented-out the URxvt*cursorUnderline line in ~/.Xdefaults, logged out of X, and restarted slim from tty1.
% ldd /usr/bin/urxvt | grep Xft
libXft.so.2 => /usr/lib/libXft.so.2 (0x00007fd35f179000)
% pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libXft.so.2
/usr/lib/libXft.so.2 is owned by libxft-lcd 2.2.0-1
After restarting slim, the problem persists. After rebooting, the problem still persists.
xterm does not exhibit this problem, nor does emacs. I use both programs with libxft and blinking block cursors, and they both work as expected. This seems to be an issue with running rxvt-unicode in combination with xcompmgr. From my POV, it doesn't seem that intel drivers are to blame, but I suppose I wouldn't rule them out.

Frequent 30 second spinning cursor in MacBook with 2GB RAM?

I currently use a G5 dual processor desktop and a laptop daily. I just switched from a MacBook Pro to a MacBook with 2 GB of RAM. All of them have identical configurations that were copied from one machine to another over Firewire at install time.
After switching from the MacBook Pro, I immediately noticed that it quite often "hangs" for a few seconds with a spinning cursor at strange times. It seems to do this pretty consisently when waking from sleep, but it does it many other times as well.
I've noticed it a lot in Mail but it happens in other applications too.
I've noticed that when it hangs, my Activity Monitor shows that the processors are NOT fully utilized.
From reading the previous posts in the thread "Slow Performance", my experience seems to be different because I have plenty of RAM and can compare it to the same setup on a MacBook Pro but am definitely noticing slowdowns.
Anyone else seeing this kind of "hang" or "delay" with a spinning cursor on their MacBook?
~Josh

I think that my problems has been solved by tech support. They reckoned it was a problem with the power management which was resolved by the following....
Shutdown
restart holding CTRL ALT P & R (To resest NVRAM)
Shutdown
remove all peripherals, power supply AND battery.
Hold down power button for 15 seconds
Put the battery back in and reboot.
After I did this I ran parralells with windows XP in it which is quite processor intensive and is the thing that will always cause my problem and the fans would kick in as normal at about 60 c, but this time the temperature actuallly went down to 55c and then would fluctuate at 57c +-2c whatever processing I was doing and NO SPINNING beachball.
I have only test for one night but it is the first time that I have used my system without the problem since I have had it (2 weeks).
I hope this helps someone.

Emac with dead display

Hi guys. I was lucky enough to pick up a triplet of eMacs yesterday. one of them is a 700mhz model that was working until the power button tore off. The other two I was told were 1ghz models, but the CD tray reports 1.25ghz (woohoo!!)
The one is in pieces, and the thermal pipe is too bent for me to fix it, so I am focusing on the one that is together. It chimes, I get the white light, and using my aluminum keyboard, I am able to make the volume pop, and eject the drive, so I know it is fully booted. I tried the brightness buttons, but they have no effect.
The display does make a crackling noise when it comes on like the 700mhz model, but nothing comes up, and I don't get the static feel from the front glass like I can on other monitors. There is however a quick flash of light in the upper left corner of the monitor. it only happens once, and only for a second.
The machine is sadly not covered under the repair program, since the serial number does not match with the ones in the program. However, and what is odd, the last 3 digits of the serial number do not match with the Apple KB on how to identify your eMac, and the configuration is an odd one: 1.25ghz/256mb/40gb/CD. According to mactracker, the 1.25ghz model only came with a combo or superdrive. Also, this model, like the other 2, does not have a modem, even though the port symbol is still there. I got these from a school, so that would explain that.
If I brought this in to an apple store, do you think they would be able to do anything with it, or does anyone know what the problem is so I could fix it myself? In my mind, it is worth it, and would make a fine replacement for my battle weary B&W G3. I have been looking for a faster machine that can run leopard, and this is it. If I can't get it fixed, I might just end up buying a mini VGA adapter and use it with my LCD, but I was hoping to get the higher than 1024x768 resolution of the built in CRT.

Thanks for all the help. I got a 3rd 1.25ghz mac, a consumer model with a bad motherboard with leaked capacitors. I was told it had a bad tube, but I swapped in the mobo from the one that sounded like it was booting fully, and tada!! a much newer mac than my B&W G3 for free!! I even got a modem out of it from the dead motherboard. Not that I will need it anytime soon, but you never know. it went in the machine just in case.
I am now in the process of reassembling the 700mhz and hopefully I will have 2 eMacs. I hope the shell from the 1.25ghz will work, even though there are 2 fewer screws. It does fit, and it is my only shell with a working power button at this point.
About the only issue is the tube is kinda pink when she first boots (the grey screen with the apple logo has a light pink hue to it), but it goes away after a few minutes. I hope that does not mean it's dying. The machine also seems to take quite a long time to power up. About 20 seconds from the time I press the power button until I get anything on the screen. Must need to warm up, but coming out of sleep mode, the screen is up in less than 5 seconds.
