Bug Description

Binary package hint: emacs-snapshot

This is almost certainly a duplicate. Emacs-snapshot crashes when I try to open it by double-clicking on a text file that's associated with it. If I explicitly open it and then manually load the file, it works.

Thank you for your bug report. I don't have this problem with Xubuntu 7.04, I will try with Ubuntu and see if I can confirm this bug.

I couldn't reproduce this on Ubuntu Feisty, I'm living this as unconfirmed.

On one of my machines the issue seems to be gone. On my other machine th issue remains. I'm not sure why it got fixed on one of my machine and not on the other. They are both 32 bit Feisty installations and I keep both up to date.

Here's what happens when I try to run it:
$ emacs-snapshot-gtk
Fatal error (11)Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I should clarify: I have narrowed the issue down to emacs-snapshot-gtk. emacs-snapshot-x works fine on both machines.

Can you test with a newer version of emacs-snapshot-gtk ?

Maybe from here (in your sources.list)

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/avassalotti/ubuntu feisty main

Please note that these are not official Ubuntu packages !

Ok so it means it has been fixed in the new releases of emacs-snapshot (in Gutsy for example). I'm marking this as fixed.
