Hi Tim,
Yes, I did. Thanks. I removed, restarted X, made a new terminal and
now I see the single icon and it seems to auto launch
Then I tried my remote emacs session. I can type, copy & paste via
the middle mouse button.. everything seems fine. Then I hit the menu
Options (between Edit and Buffers) and it kills X again. On the
server I see:
Cranmer@acas0001 ~ $ X connection to /tmp/launch-E2RqRV/:0 broken
(explicit kill or server shutdown).
Connection lost to X server `localhost:11.0'
luckily, if I start a new emacs session remotely, my local X session
starts up. So you've solved N-1 of my problems. Thanks!
Any idea what's going on with the Option menu?
Note, I can click on the little icons for to open a file, or print
etc. it doesn't crash. The remote server is running:
cranmer@acas0001 ~ $ emacs --version

Do you have $DISPLAY explicitly set to something in your init files?

Hello,
I just wanted to solve the yellow cursor problem, so I installed
X11.app 2.1.3 from
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/xquartz/wiki/X112.1.3
Now I have a host of problems:
* from terminal if I type xclock &, it complains that it can't
find the x server and quits (so it doesn't seem like launchd is
working... do I have to do something extra for that?)
* I still see two X icons, I don't see any /usr/X11/X11.app which
is referred to on this page
* if I ssh to a different machine I can use xcalc& (X11 forwarding
both directions) but not emacs. If I try to click on "options" it
crashes X. Then if I try to start X11.app again, nothing works and
I have to restart (probably logout would work).
I upgraded from Tiger and I'm not positive if the Leopard install
was using the leopard or the tiger X11. Since I was confused, I
took the advice of the FAQ above and started over following the
instructions here:
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/xquartz/wiki/X11-UsersFAQ
for completeness, this is what I did:
sudo rm -rf /usr/X11 /usr/X11R6
sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.X11DocumentationLeo sudo
pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.X11User sudo pkgutil --forget
com.apple.pkg.X11SDKLeo sudo pkgutil --forget org.x.X11.pkg
* Install X11User.pkg from Leopard's installation DVD, which is in/
Volumes/Mac OS X Install DVD/Optional Install/Optional Installs.mpkg
* Install X11SDK.pkg from Leopard's installation DVD, which is in/
Volumes/Mac OS X Install DVD/Optional Installs/Xcode Tools/Packages/
* Install the latest X11 package release.
I did that and still no luck. For good measure, I moved /Library/
Applications/X11.app to /Library/Applications/X11_backup.app, and
did the full startover directions again.
Ok... so now I still don't get launchd stuff to work, but if I
click on X11.app it starts X (still 2 icons). Again, things seem
to work ok until I ssh to another machine and run emacs.... which
crashes my X server and I need to logout to get a working X again.
Any hints would be appreciated.
Kyle
