emacs does not load user-init-file by default
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:10:57 EST
Description of problem: emacs does not load $HOME/.emacs by default Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 21.3-17 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run emacs without any arguments 2. change options (e.g. syntax highlighting), save ($HOME/.emacs should be updated) 3. re-run emacs without any arguments 4. no change is seen Actual results: no change in options Expected results: changes in option should show the next time emacs is run Additional info: 'emacs -u $USER' does load the init file 'emacs -q' behaves the same as emacs 'emacs' without arguments should behave like 'emacs -u $USER', not 'emacs -q'
I am running FC3 and have verified that my emacs is reading the ~/.emacs file on start, however I have NOT been able to get emacs to use the resources specified in either the .Xdefaults or .Xrecources file(s). I verified it is function correclty with these resources on an FC2 system. Both my FC2 and FC3 systems are up2date, and this is my FC3 installed rpms: emacs-common-21.3-17 emacs-el-21.3-17 emacs-leim-21.3-17 emacs-21.3-17
Darn where is that remove comment feature? Please ignore my previous comment, I learned that the X-window environment needs to be restarted or xrdb -load run on changed .Xdefaults or .Xresources modificaitons.
Hmm. I tried again, and it now works. I don't know what caused the original problem. Anyway, no longer a problem.
