Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-ports-bugs->ashish Over to emacs maintainer for evaluation Hi Sam, My apologies for not replying to it earlier. Could you please provide few details about your FreeBSD environment setup: 1. Do you use startx ? Or do you're using some kind of login manager like xdm/gdm/kdm ? 2. If you're using startx, could you please provide your .xinitrc ? Just wanted to know if you're launching a DBus session daemon. 3. Please mention the version of dbus, dbus-glib, and gconf, you're using. Thanks -- Ashish SHUKLA | GPG: F682 CDCC 39DC 0FEA E116 20B6 C746 CFA9 E74F A4B0 freebsd.org!ashish | http://people.freebsd.org/~ashish/ Avoid Success At All Costs !!

Since dbus is apparently the trouble, I rebuilt emacs without dbus support, still the warning; so then in addition I turned off gconf support, and no more warning. So apparently the fix is to disable dbus and gconf when building emacs.

Yes, gconf brings in the DBus, and but I didn't know why are you experiencing slowness. What precisely slowed down ? Emacs ? or everything ? Did you try figuring out that, or it's just a perception. I never experienced dbus slowing my window manager or other applications. Also I'm wondering if you're interested in trying out editors/emacs-devel port?

Some tests with ls don't seem to show any difference however. > I never experienced dbus slowing my window manager or other applications. > > Also I'm wondering if you're interested in trying out editors/emacs-devel port? > I'll try it... seems to take some time to compile. The main thing I need is auctex, matlab, c modes. The problem is related to dbus and gconf under X-window. I am using Windowmaker. When .xinitrc is configured as following, exec dbus-launch /usr/local/bin/wmaker the warning "emacs:50055): GLib-WARNING **: In call to g_spawn_sync(), exit status of a child process was requested but SIGCHLD action was set to SIG_IGN and ECHILD was received by waitpid(), so exit status can't be returned. This is a bug in the program calling g_s pawn_sync(); either don't request the exit status, or don't set the SIGCHLD action." will stop. However, if I do 'su' to become root and start emacs, emacs crashes. Recompile emacs form the port disabling gconf, and dbus solves this problem. Linux seems to have the same issue. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=654027 Thanks. State Changed From-To: open->closed feedback timeout. |
