I'm trying out emacs. With no .emacs
file and starting emacs 26.1 with emacs -Q
on Debian 10, it takes two seconds for the welcome screen to show up. Before the welcome screen, there is a message "Loading .../00debian.el (source)...done". The "done" part shows up right away; I didn't have to wait for the word "done".
When this disappears, the welcome message shows up. I can press a key to get rid of it but this lag is disorienting.
How do I remove this lag?
Just to make sure the 00debian.el
isn't the source of the delay, I deleted the file entirely. Now the message doesn't show up but the lag is still there.
-Q
the00debian.el
should not be loaded. Any chance you were actually typingemacs -q
(with lowercaseq
)? Also, please indicate if you're running Emacs in GUI mode inside a text terminal (and if so, which text terminal): my crystal ball tells me it might be related toxterm-extra-capabilities
