Sorry for my ignorance, but how do I change the theme from oxygen to something else?
I just did some testing to se what causes emacs23 to hang:
- If I start emacs from a terminal, then it most of the time does to open a new window.
- emacs -nw from a terminal works fine (as also noticed above)
- If I start emacs from the kubuntu menu, then it (almost) always starts, and does not hang immiately. After that there are many things that I can do before Emacs hangs, such as:
- compose an E-mail message (using M-X mail). It hangs only when I try to send the mail (using Ctl-C).
- Write some text in the scratch-window, and save it to the disk.
- I can edit some more, and do a "recover file" to get back what I saved earlier, and it still works fine.
- Many of the the help menues under Ctl-H work fine. However, Ctl-H r makes it hang. After that I have to wait some time before it again starts properly.
- The window splitting commands work fine.
However, there are certain commands that always make Emacs hang:
- Find file (Ctl-X Ctl-F)
- Visit File (Ctl-X Ctl-V)
- Dired
- Sending of Mail
- Ctl-H r (Display the Emacs manual in Info mode.)
I've got the same problems (see Bug 1173857).
