Description of problem: At least, that's the effect--typing any normal key that's supposed to insert a character into either the buffer or the mini-buffer produces no result at all. Control keys, like arrow keys and Ctrl-X, Ctrl-C sequences work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 23.3-8.fc16 (the default for the release), 23.3-19.fc17 (from koji, per a suggestion in one of those two bugs referenced below), xemacs-21.5.31-2.fc16, the latest FSF emacs. How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start emacs 2. Type something in the buffer. 3. Observe that nothing shows up in the buffer 4. Hit Ctrl-X, Ctrl-C 5. Observe that those keystrokes are interpreted properly. Actual results: No response to self-inserting keystrokes. Expected results: Ordinary keys should show up in the buffer Additional info: All of the above on a newly installed Fedora release 16 (Verne) 3.1.6-1.fc16.i686.PAE #1 SMP 23.3-19.fc17 built from source with rpmbuild--the Fedora 17 dependencies weren't met in a Fedora 16 box. This may be related to bzs 691825 and/or 752936 I gave this a Severity high because, really, emacs /ought/ to work.
Can you please check whether /usr/bin/emacs-nox from the emacs-nox package works as expected?
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
