"emacs -Q": report a bug on the emacs bug tracker The problem persists with trying all of the above options with my alias in "~/.bashrc": alias emacs="unset DISPLAY && emacs" With "alias emacs="unset DISPLAY && emacs"" commented out in my .bashrc, the x-window variety of emacs opens. So, no change there. And like I said in my original message on this subject, I cannot use Emacs at all unless I am running X-Windows. > If its a local problem (1 & 2 above), while debugging you can start > emacs with the flag --debug-init to get a backtrace. This should help > you track down the problem. I just tried that and I am embaressed to ask, where will I find the resulting backtrace? If it is supposed to be sent to the terminal, the problem that I am having seems to prevent me seeing a backtrace... If it is located elsewhere, I am not able to find it's location. Just a reminder about the fact that when I try to start Emacs with my desired (and formerly working) alias, one of the four cores on my CPU maxes out to 100% until I kill Emacs...
