How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
emacs -q(to skip your.emacs)? If not, what aboutemacs -Q(skips all installed packages)? What terminal emulator are you runningemacsclient -tin, and does using another emulator make a difference? I suspect Emacs is sending an escape sequence that expects a response and not getting it, but the important data is the character before the1, which doesn't get displayed. Runstrace -o emacs.strace -s9999 emacs --daemonand post the resultingemacs.stracesomewhere (it may be huge).emacs -q --daemondoesn't fix it, butemacs -Q --daemondoes. In LXTerminal, the -q option works fine; with justemacs --daemonin LXTerminal,emacsclient -tdoesn't actually hang (I can still C-x # to exit) but it doesn't give me a cursor or allow me to actually do anything. Working on the strace thing now.strace -f -o emacs.strace -s9999 emacs --daemon? Also, to find out what this mysterious “Terminal Emulator” is, please runps $PPIDin it. Also, since the bug is apparently triggered by an installed package, rundpkg -S /etc/emacs*/site-start.dto get the list.
