 Posted: Wed Sep 22, 2021 11:49 pm Post subject: helm-3.8.0 freezes emacs |
 |
|
When I test helm with
| Code: | | emacs-helm.sh -P /usr/bin/emacs |
which is supposed to isolate helm from all other emacs packages, emacs will freeze, completely unresponsive to keystrokes. This is, of course, true with normal emacs invocation as well which reads my init files. This happens with emacs-27.2-r4 but emacs-26 has the same behavior.
Any debugging hints will be gratefully received. |

cfgauss,
Neither emacs-helm.sh --help or emacs --help list a "-P" option. I hardly know any emacs, but the arrow keys and C-x C-c both work (when running the command you posted). I emerged with the following options: | Code: | thinkpad ~ $ emerge -p1v app-emacs/helm
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Unaware of such an Interesting perspective.
melpa version | Code: | [I] app-emacs/helm
Installed versions: 20210922.840 |
Doesn't have such a script 
Edit: | Code: | | bash /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/helm/emacs-helm.sh -P /usr/bin/emacs |
works fine here & outputs: | Code: | ;; This buffer is for text that is not saved, and for Lisp evaluation.
;; To create a file, visit it with C-x c C-x C-f and enter text in its buffer.
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;; This Emacs is Powered by ‘HELM’ using
;; emacs program "/usr/bin/emacs".
;; This is a minimal ‘helm’ configuration to discover ‘helm’ or debug it.
;; You can retrieve this minimal configuration in "/tmp/helm-cfg.el".
;;
;; Some original Emacs commands are replaced by their ‘helm’ counterparts:
;; - ‘find-file’(C-x C-f) =>‘helm-find-files’
;; - ‘occur’(M-s o) =>‘helm-occur’
;; - ‘list-buffers’(C-x C-b) =>‘helm-buffers-list’
;; - ‘completion-at-point’(M-tab) =>‘helm-lisp-completion-at-point’[1]
;; - ‘apropos-command’(C-h a) =>‘helm-apropos’
;; - ‘dabbrev-expand’(M-/) =>‘helm-dabbrev’
;; - ‘execute-extended-command’(M-x) =>‘helm-M-x’
;; Some other Emacs commands are "helmized" by ‘helm-mode’.
;; [1] Coming with emacs-24.4, ‘completion-at-point’ is "helmized" by ‘helm-mode’
;; which provides Helm completion in many places like ‘shell-mode’.
;; Find context help for most Helm commands with ‘C-h m’.
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; |
which refers to a rather old major emacs version.
Trying melpa version could be worth trying depending on version installed:
emerge --info app-editors/emacs?
Thks 4 ur attention, interest & support.
