I'm new to org-mode. I've tried to set up a simple TODO list by calling org-capture and when I select my [t] todo item on *Org Select*, Emacs freezes and I need to kill its process.

On the mini-buffer I can read the following error message:

Clipboard pasted as level 2 subtree

Error in post-command-hook (linum-update-current): (args-out-of-range 1 1)

I've updated all packages to the latest version, and reinstalled the latest Emacs 25, but the error persisted. Does anyone have an idea where this might be coming from? Am I overseeing something very simple?

Thanks a lot.

In case this is important..

on init.el:

(setq org-capture-templates
       '(("t" "todo" entry (file+headline "/Users/dgomez/todo.org" "Tasks")
          "* TODO [#A] %?")))

GNU Emacs 25.0.50.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin15.0.0, NS appkit-1404.13 Version 10.11.1 (Build 15B42)) of 2015-11-25

  • A "freeze" could mean different things. Consider reporting a bug, providing a step-by-step recipe that starts with emacs -Q (no init file): M-x report-emacs-bug. Note too that you are using a development snapshot, and those are generally unstable - anything goes. – Drew Nov 26 '15 at 15:08
  • Thanks for the feedback. I found out that the problem is a conflict between linum-mode and org-capture. My question is, should I report this? And who do I report it to? – dangom Nov 26 '15 at 16:36

    M-x report-emacs-bug. That will gather info about your session (which you can edit, if you want). C-c will prepare the report to be emailed. Try to provide a minimal step-by-step recipe, from emacs -Q. – Drew Nov 26 '15 at 20:43

I had (global-linum-mode 1) on my init.el, and that conflicts with org-capture somehow. I've changed it to (add-hook 'prog-mode-hook 'linum-mode) and the issue was gone.

Apparently linum-mode is not compatible with org-capture.

Yep, I ran into the same problem. org and linum are somehow incompatible.
As a different solution you can also use a hook and simply disable linum-mode when org is the major mode.
I also do this for drag-stuff since it violates org-mode's shortcuts.

(add-hook 'org-mode-hook 
          (lambda () 
            (drag-stuff-mode -1) 
            (linum-mode -1)))
