Description D. Charles Pyle 2012-11-11 09:29:32 UTC
Description of problem:
I ran two instances of Emacs to look at a couple files. When I closed them, they remained running and could be seen in System Monitor. I killed the two processes because I could not log off without doing so. After doing that I got the error I am now reporting.

This happens nearly each and every single time I use Emacs for anything. Other than that, I do not know what causes this to happen.

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 16 E. Lewis 2013-03-20 15:39:32 UTC
The following is a symptom: when closing a .tex document, emacs complained 'there is an active process'. There were no active processes such as terminal sessions, mysql sessions &c. After I force closed the .tex document, emacs appeared to quit normally. Running a 'ps -A | grep emacs' command showed that there was an emacs process running. I killed that process 'kill <process id number>' (as I do frequently) and all returned to normal.

Comment 17 E. Lewis 2013-03-21 16:38:27 UTC
To reproduce (not 100% reproducable)
Kill a buffer (C-x k) Observe a message 'Buffer 'whatever it is' still has clients; kill it? (yes or no)' even though there are no other clients running. If I type 'yes' the entire emacs goes down, even buffers that I do not want to kill. A 'ps -A | grep emacs' command shows that emacs is still running. 'kill <process ID>' dismisses the process.
At this point, emacs is down, and the Automatic Bug Reporting Tool (ABRT) comes up asking if I want to submit a report.

The following may be indirectly related. I offer it in that it may offer a clue.

I am a heavy emacs user, I use it particularly heavily for LaTeX.

I have emacs configured to use texlive-2012 downloaded and installed directly (outside of the Fedora repository) contrasted with the traditional Fedora texlive installation. I do not know if this is germane to the problem or not.

I never saw this problem until upgrading from emacs-23 (Fedora 17) to emacs-24 (Fedora 18).

I'm using emacs in the server+clients mode and this happens every time tthe server is killed by the SIGTERM (e.g. on system shutdown).

Do not know. Icon showed up in XFCE information bar. Does not seem to impact system performance.

Comment 20 Fedora End Of Life 2013-12-21 09:21:42 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 18. 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 '18'.

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 18's end of life.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be 
able to fix it before Fedora 18 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  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior to Fedora 18's end of life.

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.

Comment 21 Fedora End Of Life 2014-02-05 12:59:14 UTC
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 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. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
