Xquartz and emacs

I upgraded to Mountain Lion and replace X11 by Xquartz. Everything from macports works fine except emacs.
1. If I open a local window, then typing "emacs" in an xterm will behave like "emacs -nw": it opens in the xterm rather than in a separate window.
2. If I "ssh -X" to a different machine and invoke its emacs I do get a separate window, but it's way too big: it spans all the windows on my (fvm2) desktop, rather than the current window.
This is not a problem with the DISPLAY variable: programs like xpdf have no problem in popping up new windows.
Since these display problems happen with different emacs I suspect an XQuartz problem, but that's as much as I understand.
Victor.

Ah yes the joys of ASC
Anyway you're question made me curious because while I have XQuartz I haven't used emacs in X in some time since the native version of emacs http://emacsformacosx.com has been out. This version is always up to date (it's at version 24) while the OS X version has been stuck on 22 for some time and it runs and looks great on OS X.
So I went off and downloaded emacs 24 source from the GNU site and compiled it here using
configure --with-x
to get x11 support into it.It compiled clean (except for not having the jpg, tiff and png libraries) and ran fine with X. When I start it from the terminal X starts and if I start it from an X terminal it opened in its own window. Didn't try the ssh aspect of your question, don't have the setup here to do that.
So emacs and XQuartz play fine together, the problem you are experiencing getting emacs to run in its own window is most likely not related to XQuartz.
Is your install of XQuartz new? Have you just installed it? If so have you logged out and back in again since the install. This is needed to get the environment setup right and is mentioned in the install docs for XQuartz.
Are you sure you are running the correct version of emacs. The version in /usr/bin is not X aware. As I said that is version 22, what is the version of emacs you have from macports. Assuming macports has a newer version when you start emacs check to see what version is running. If it's 22 you might be getting the /usr/bin version in some way.
Finally are you sure the macports version is X aware. If you have Xcode installed on your machine compiling emacs yourself to ensure that is is X aware is not a big deal you may want to try that.
And finally (again ) If you still have problems you might want to ask over on the Apple X11 mailing list. See
X11-users -- X11 for Mac OS X discussion list

How can I use the "gcc compiler and emacs editor" in Solaris 8 for Intel?

I installed Solaris 8 for Intel to my desktop computer.
After the installation, I found I couldn't use the companion software (the software CD included in the Multilinugal Media Kit for Solaris 8) - especially the emacs editor and gcc compilers.
I certainly installed the companion software to my computer. And I can identify that those softwares are
really installed to my system. In order to check out whether I installed them or not, I went to the "System Administrator" and opened the "Solaris Product Registry", in which I identified that all the files in
the companion software were succesfully installed in my computer.
However, when I open terminal or console box and tries to use those
software, the system responds that "there is no emacs or gcc."
Why I cannot use those things?
Did I install the companion software wrong?
I really don't understand why I can't use them.
For your reference, I saw the directories "/usr/bin" and "usr/ccs/bin"
too.
In /usr/bin I typed
#as
and no such command.
In /usr/ccs/bin
#as
and also no such command
was what I had as a response.
If I installed the companion software CD correctly and if they are installed somewhere in my computer,
where I can find them and how I can use those softwares?
Lastly, whenever I try to connect to my ISP via telnet mode, I see this
message.
"Try to connect ...
connected to ***.***.***.*** (IP address of my ISP)
Closed by foreign hosts."
Is there any one who knows why this happens?
Thanks for reading my question.

gcc and emacs install in /opt/sfw. You should change your path statement to include /opt/sfw/bin and should obtain the FAQ from sunfreeware.com. The FAQ answers all your questions.
I have installed gcc and gtk and am using both at this time.

Emacs AND emacs-nox

I'd like to use on the same machine both emacs and emacs-nox. But they are mutually exclusive. A proximate cause is that they both give
the same name, 'emacs', to the resulting executable. I presume there are no fundamental conflicts between the X and the no-X versions
of Emacs, and I'd be perfectly happy to run emacs-nox under a different name. How can I get it my way?
The reason I want emacs-nox is that I need a just-in-time, disposable, mini-emacs, to be evoked for a brief moment in, say, the 'root' permission terminal that I keep constantly open to run a root-authority commands or touch up a system file. I used to use zile for that, but it is not 100% compatible with emacs, lacks many of the most common commands, and doesn't handle well Ctrl, Alt, Bcksp, and friends.
When looking for a small-footprint version of emacs for the Raspberry Pi, I realized that emacs-nox has a much smaller footprint not only than emacs, but also than emacs -nw, and in fact is not much bigger than zile itself. So, why use a crippled app if one can use the real thing at very
little extra cost?
What do you think? Thanks

Use TRAMP to edit files via sudo within Emacs. No need to start up a new instance.
Alternatively, use ABS to recompile it and add the --program-{prefix,suffix} option to change the name of the binary to emacs-nox or whatever.

Emacs and emacs -nw with solarized look different

Hey,
I installed solarized for emacs and in my .Xdefaults (https://github.com/solarized/xresources/blob/master/solarized from here).
Emacs looks fine, but everything in my urxvt looks slightly off, compared to emacs.
Here is a screen shot between emacs -nw and emacs side by side:
http://p67.img-up.net/screenshot8025.png
The colors are kind of switched. Is there something wrong with the color scheme in my xresources?
Or do I have to to something additional to get the solarized look right in emacs -nw and urxvt?
Thanks!
EDIT:
setting:URxvt*termName: rxvt-unicode-256color
change the look of emacs -nw, but now it looks even more wrong.
Other console programms look better now.

Ok I've installed everything and put the following into the .emacs file:
(require 'org-install)
;; The following lines are always needed. Choose your own keys.
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org\\'" . org-mode))
(global-set-key "\C-cl" 'org-store-link)

(global-set-key "\C-cb" 'org-iswitchb)
(global-font-lock-mode 1)
; for all buffers
;;;orgbabel;;;;
(org-babel-do-load-languages
'org-babel-load-languages
'((R . t)
The last part being the bit about babel - the business end for R. Now I don't need to install anything else? Or any other lisp's for babel? But! The .emacs file is not producing any errors now when I start emacs up.
[EDIT] Everything work's now I've installed an external - more up to date distribution of Org!

Is there a final verdict on Leopard and eMacs?? (1.42 ghz versions)

I've read nearly every upgrade post here about Leopard and eMacs and for the life of me I don't get the impression that there is a correct answer on this upgrade. It seems that the eMac is too close to the minimum requirements to run Leopard with any degree of comfort. True? Not many success stories here.

I have a 1.25 GHz version. I was running 10.3 and started to get frustrated with some web sites not working on the older version of Safari. Also some of the recent upgrades to adobe etc weren't supported by 10.3. As a short fix I downloaded the Camino browser. This solved a lot of the surfing problems. I finally decided to bite the bullet and bought the Mac Box set of Leopard, iLife '09 and iWork '09.
At the risk of sounding negative I have had nothing but problems since. This may all be down to my own incompetence (I am not technically minded) or down to the fact that my eMac is reaching the end of it's days. Either way I am now facing up to the fact that I may have to go and buy another computer. I've had problems with Mail (I now know this to be a known problem, see forums for fix). A kernal panic, resulting in an erase and reinstall. I am now suffering from very slow performance across all applications with more spinning beach ball than I've ever witnessed. I've scoured the forums for help and have tried everything within my limited technical ability. Repaired disk and permissions, ran the hardware test, created a new user, checked activity monitor. My hard disk is less than 50% utilised and I have 1 GB of RAM. All very disappointing. I was hoping that Leopard would blow the rest of my family away and that I would be in a good position to pitch for a new Mac! Now I'm not so sure.
I apologise for such a disappointing post and I hope you have better luck!

X11 remote app and XQuartz and xterm Xt error: Can't open display: %s

Hi
I have Snow Leopard (10.8.4) and XQuartz on it I need to run X11 remote app on redhat.
On local host echo $DISPLAY shows /tmp/launch-d33HNb/org.macosforge.xquartz:0
When i do ssh -X (or -Y) [email protected] and try to run xterm i got:
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: %s
xterm: DISPLAY is not set
the sshd_config on remote host has
cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config | grep X11
#X11Forwarding no
X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
#X11UseLocalhost yes
Question is do i need to set up DISPLAY variable on remote host?
If yes which display number do i choose?
if i do export DISPLAY=<my mac ip>:10.0 or export DISPLAY=<my mac ip>:0.0
i still have message xterm Xt error: Can't open display: %s
Maybe this will help also

I'm always looking for new tricks of the trade.
I remember now why I originally changed the ssh config file. Here is another trick: In a text editor, type
ssh://[email protected]
making the obvious substitutions. Select the line and drag it to the Desktop. It will create an inetloc file that, when double-clicked, opens a Terminal window and connects to the ssh session. I have several of these in my Dock.
That is a neat trick. However, with LaunchPad I'm not much of a Finder double-clicker anymore. What is interesting is that the OS knows how to handle the ssh protocol. You can also type "open ssh://[email protected]" for the same effect. That may not seem like much of a gain, but it reveals some interesting OS-level possibilities.
With an RSA key, I don't even need a password
You can use the newer DSA keys. There is another neat trick too. Pretty much every set of instructions I've seen online suggests using an empty private key password because running ssh-agent is such a hassle on Linux. It is built-in to OS X. So, on OS X, you can create more secure DSA private keys with pass phrases that are stored (and encrypted) in your keychain. You only have to supply the Then, even if someone gets your private keys, they get nothing.

Kernel panic and eMac Mac OS X 10.4.8

I was watching a blockbuster DVD and without no reason, appeared the tipical kernel panic. I turned off the eMac, holding the power button, after 2 minutes, restarted it, zapped the ram, repaired permissions and it seems everything is fine. I found the DVD was scratched.
Is this the reason or any clue? I think this is the first kernel for my eMac.
Thank you

It probably was the result of a software induced crash due to the bad DVD. However, if you check the panic and console logs you may find specific clues to the cause. Use the Console app in your Utilities folder. Click on the Logs icon the toolbar. Locate the log in the left sidebar list.

Power Failure and eMac won't come back on

We had a thunderstorm and the power went out. Not the first time, but even though the eMac was plugged into a surge protection bar, it will not turn on. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Chris

If the PRAM battery (or whatever they call it now) is nearly dead, this will often keep the eMac from booting back up. Usually you will noticed in previous power downs and restarts you may get a message about your clock and date being set wrong. This is a sign your battery is dead. Eventually it gets tot he point where it actually prevents the Mac from starting.
So unplug the eMac, flip it over, open the door on the bottom where the RAM and battery are. Remove the battery. Put the door back on. Flip it back over. Plug it in and try to start it. If it starts up, then that was your problem. Take the little battery to your local Radio Shack, Best Buy, Comp USA, whatever, and get a new one. In the meantime you should be able to use your computer. Sleep it instead of shutting it down until you get a new battery.
Good luck,
Patrick

Cant download itunes 7 even though i already have itunes and emac ??

Running OS X 10.3.9 on emac which it asks for but itunes 7 still wont download?? Any advice please?

After struggling on it for few hours, I managed to find out how to download iTunes7 for my new Ipod!
It's very easy and simple!
So to sum up:
1. You quit the installer and iTunes
2. You go on your finder: Macintosh HD / Library / Receipts /
3. Drag the following files to the Trash:
iTunes.pkg
iTunesX.pkg (where X is a version number)
4. Open the iTunes installer again and proceed with the installation.
ENJOY!!!

Express and eMac with D-Link USB Adapter

I went down to my local Apple Centre to get an Airport Card for my eMac (700mhz). He said they didn't have any but recommended I buy a D-Link USB Adapter (802.11g/2.4ghz wireless) to connect to the Internet via Airport Express. But I can't get the Mac to recognise it - when I use the Airport Assistant it says I have to connect via Ethernet as there is no Airport card Installed. Any ideas where I can find a step-by-step installation guide? Or any help here would be great!
Thanks
Ben

BenCollison, Welcome to the discussion area!
Unfortunately the drivers required for these USB wireless adapters frequently don't work well with Mac OS X. Many people never get them to work properly. Some people find the magical combination and get them to work.
The best solution is the correct AirPort card.
The next best solution is an Ethernet wireless adapter. These require no drivers and therefore work with any Ethernet device. Examples of Ethernet wireless adapters are the Linksys WET11, Linksys WET54G, and the Buffalo Technology WLI-TX4-G54HP bridge.

Missing qt and emacs from sync database

I'm trying to install AL on my laptop, got through fine until I tried install KDE. Qt is missing from the sync database and therefore installation can't continue. I have AL installed on my desktop and searched for Qt after a pacman -Sy. No result for the Qt package is found. This is also the case for emacs. This is probably an oversight by the package managers but just wanted to let you guys know.

i deleted the folder and did a pacman -Sy again. And then did a pacman -S qt and results in
qt: not found in sync db
I use the Server = ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/current/os/i686 for my updates
Do you see the package after you sync?
****I changed the Server to one of the European mirrors. I found it there. I guess qt is not available on the ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/current/os/i686 server ******

Mac OS X Leopard and eMac G4 hotkeys

Hi! I have eMac G4 1.25gHz with OS X 10.5.8 installed.
It is with PC wireless keyboard and I want to turn screen off from the keyboard. The combination is cmd+shift+eject, right? On my keyboard short press on F12 opens a dashboard and long press works like eject. But cmd+shift+eject reboots eMac instead of turning screen off.
How can I fix it?
P.S. I'm sorry for my english, but my native language forums were not helpful.

On a standard Mac keyboard, the shutdown/sleep/restart screen is control + eject--no shift involved. Some third-party boards may not support the more esoteric Mac KB shortcuts.

Unicode and emacs

Hello all!
I don't know, how to come over the following problem: I am using tcsh - Shell, my "Windows settings" of my Terminal are set to unicode (utf-8). But I am unable to enter German Umlauts with my keyboard, when using emacs (MBP, 17 inch, one year old, 10.4.11) - instead of inserting the special letters for example "ö ä ü" emacs is jumping on a different place of the file and inserting nothing!
Don't know, if this is the right place to ask this. But I did not discover a place of UNIX/Shell/BSD related questions in Apple discussions ...
If by any chance an Unix freak is passing by, one other question again: I am just starting to discover emacs, but I am unable to find in my two emacs-books an answer: is it possible to have a syntax-highlighting with different colours in emacs for xml/html, Perl, LaTeX ... ???
Thank you all and best greetings from Munich

Xquartz and X11 wont boot on second admin account

Hello all,
I have had an ongoing issue with X11 not booting on a second admin account on my mac mini (Snow Leopard) , for a hoot I tried to install Xquartz to see what would happen and it is the same deal, that is, it will open on the first admin account, like X11 without a hitch but neither will open up on the second one where I do all of my work, any help at this point would be excellent.
I have tried resetting the permissions on both of these to rad/write and it does not seem to make a difference which makes me think it might be something to do with the way my second admin account is configured. As far as I can tell they are both installed in the correct location(s)- (Macintosh HD>Applications>Utilities)
Thanking you all in advance

IBook and eMac wont play nice!

I have an iBook dual usb and an eMac with Nvidia Graphics and they wont file share like they used to. I want my iBook to talk to my eMac so I can pull files off of its hard drive.(This is because the iBook only has a 10 gb HD.) I also reformat my iBook's Hard Drive quite often sadly. so all of my backups are on my eMac. The real problem is that my iBook's Finder fails to recognize that it is an admin and only lists the "/user/clay" directory. The reason I know it is finder is because right now I have to use cyberduck to get all of the files off of my eMac. Cyberduck initally only shows me the "/user/clay" folder but it has the option to go up one folder and can connect to the "/" folder correctly. If anyone can help that would be awesome.
Thanks,
Clayton

Two ways to handle this Clayton...
Log into the eMac with the eMac's Admin User's name and Password, not the iBooks Username & PW.
Get Sharepoints...

and setup any Share, User, Group, Rights you wish.
