I've built GNU Emacs 27.0.50 from source in Ubuntu 18.10. Then started the daemon as a systemd unit:

[Unit]
Description=Emacs text editor
Documentation=info:emacs man:emacs(1) https://gnu.org/software/emacs/

[Service]
Type=notify
ExecStart=/home/marcanuy/local/bin/emacs --fg-daemon
ExecStop=/home/marcanuy/local/bin/emacsclient --eval "(kill-emacs)"
Environment=SSH_AUTH_SOCK=%t/keyring/ssh
Restart=on-failure

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

When I start emacsclient running emacsclient -c it quits after a while without any errors.

Even running it with gdb doesn't shows anything:

(gdb) exec-file emacsclient
(gdb) set args -c
(gdb) run
Starting program: /home/marcanuy/local/bin/emacsclient -c
Waiting for Emacs...
[Inferior 1 (process 2858) exited normally]
(gdb) bt
No stack.

It happened configuring it with and without x-lucid:

./configure --prefix=$HOME/local

and

./configure --prefix=$HOME/local --with-x-toolkit=lucid

both have the same problem.

Also, the daemon is running without problems:

$ systemctl --user status emacs.service

Any idea?

  • You're running an unstable release. Does the same thing happen with the latest stable version?

  • @phils just tested and works fine in the latest stable release 26.1.91.

    FYI strictly speaking 26.1.91 is also not a stable release (it's a pre-test for 26.2), although it ought to be very stable in practice, so I wouldn't drop back to 26.1 (which is the current stable release) unless you're having further problems. Versions ending in .9x are pre-test releases (more or less "release candidates"). Versions ending in .50 are unstable. Please use M-x report-emacs-bug (ideally from within the 27.0.50 build, if you still have it) to report the original problem.

  • @phils thanks for clarifying that, I got confused because it was the latest release available at the GitHub mirror repo, will try to report the bug when trying 27 again.

  • I have the same problem. Did you find a resolution to this issue?
